I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. After King David's son died, his servants wondered why he was no longer sad. They asked King David. His answer is above. David would go to heaven one day and when he arrived he knew he would find his infant son. This must mean that all who die before the age of accountability go to heaven to be with the Lord. Given the truth of this, one could wonder if infants (below the age of accountability) will be removed from the earth at the time believers are removed from the earth. It is hard to argue against this position. Therefore, it is possible that all infants (even the unborn) will be raptured along with the believers. This will be an awful thing for unbelieving parents who are "Left Behind." However, this is being written to help these parents who fail to accept Jesus before the rapture. http://jesus-is-the-way.com/Children.html

There are no specific scriptures we can point to that guarantee that all children will be raptured along with us. There is some scriptural support for the idea that *believers'* children will be raptured, though...1 Cor. 7:14: "For the unbelieving husband is sanctified [set apart as holy] by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; else were your children unclean; but now are they holy." KJV. In time past, as detailed in the Old Testament account of the exodus from Egypt and the claiming of Canaan land by the Israelites, God demonstrated that he is not all that benevolent toward infants and children of pagan nations. See Deut. 32:21-25; 1 Sam. 15:1-3; Ezek. 9:4-6; Hosea 13:16. The passages in Hosea and Ezekiel describe something yet future...the Tribulation. We know, too, that babies will be conceived and born during the Tribulation as the Lord's words in Matt. 24:19 declare: "And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!" I personally had to consider carefully whether the true God of the Bible, as he has revealed himself to us through its words, would spare all infants and children from the wrath he will pour out on the earth in those days in the time of Jacob's trouble, as I was writing a novel about the rapture and the tribulation which would present the truth of God's word, rightly divided according to 2 Timothy 2:15. My novel does have a character - Peter - who is presented as being a small boy during the tribulation so I'm expecting some criticism for that from different Christian quarters. If you would like to learn more about my new end times novel, COVENANT WITH MY CHOSEN, by Deborah L. Kuzenski, please visit my publisher's website at: http://www.northernpressgroup.com/id47.html. COVENANT WITH MY CHOSEN reveals the truth that LEFT BEHIND left behind!!! Comments welcome, BelovedDeborah www.paulsgospel.blog.com

Doesn't really make much sense to me to leave them behind to suffer while their parent(s) are protected. Thanks for sharing about your book, will be checking it out.

What happened to all the innocent babies and children? They were not on the ark with Noah and his family. What makes you think it will be different during the Great Tribulation upon all nations?

What happened to all the innocent babies and children? They were not on the ark with Noah and his family. What makes you think it will be different during the Great Tribulation upon all nations? [SIZE=7]Thanks for the addition of the Genesis account of the great flood to my list of incidents in the scriptures where God let infants and children suffer and die in order to accomplish his purpose. I was going to list it but forgot. In keeping with the necessity to rightly divide the scriptures between Israel's Law Program and our Grace Program, we need to keep in mind that Noah and his family were a type of the Tribulation remnant (mostly Israel) being given divine protection by God during the Trib. Tribulation believers won't be delivered out of that time to come like the Body of Christ will be delivered out beforehand from that time to come. But believers in the Trib will be delivered through that time by God's providence. Some will be be martyred or die, yes, but they will receive supernatural strength (Dan. 11:34; Luke 21:12-18) to endure it. We, on the other hand, have not been appointed to wrath by God, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thess. 5:9). We are children of the day, not of that night to come. We, and our grace gospel, will be caught up together with the Lord in the air, forever to be with him in our heavenly home. I do believe, though, that innocent babies and small children, who have not reached a maturity with which to decide for themselves whom they will believe, may die a premature death through the cursed state of creation as it has been since the "fall," but God will judge them accordingly and send them straight into the arms of his Son, Jesus Christ, for all eternity. "Suffer the little children to come unto me..." During this Age of Grace, God isn't sending angels to rescue babies from swimming pools or child molesters. But he has reconciled the world to himself in Christ, not imputing our trespasses against us. (2 Cor. 5:19). So everyone's sins have been forgiven, and it's only a question of whether we have placed our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and his work at Calvary on our behalf. Have you hastened to do that? I hope so! BelovedDeborah www.paulsgospel.blog.com

And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones. Daniel 6:23-25 (in Context) Daniel 6 (Whole Chapter) Neither the wives or children of Daniel's enemies were spared after God rescued him from the lions. Interesting to note.
