Re: Day of the Lord - Day of Wrath: Judgement in history or fina

For those of us following along at home, can the two debaters clarify a point of contention? Peter and Andrew, you both envision a future state of the world populated only by the redeemed who confess Christ as Lord. But neither of you expects the world’s population to turn to Christ en masse. At some point the unredeemed portion of the world’s population will need to be eliminated — which, if it were to occur today, would mean at least those 4.5 billion people who don’t claim to be Christians. Peter, you contend that the unbelievers will be removed as a final act of God’s judgment. Andrew, you argue that it’s not a matter of judgment on the unredeemed, but rather a way of "clearing the stage" so that the redeemed microcosm is able to become the macrocosm in its pure form. Is that the idea?
