lease for those who were held captive in Paradise. He went to the abode of the righteous (not the un righteous dead). When Jesus as cended to the Father He emptied Abraham's bosom so that now when a believer dies his soul im mediately goes to be with the Lord. God says that Christ is going to rout Satan and deliver the ones who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Q. Grover City, Calif. "If all the saints are going to be raptured out of the world before the tribula tion, then who are the saints men tioned in Revelation 13:7?" A. You are correct that all believers in this age of grace will be taken to heaven at the Rapture (I Thes- salonians 4:18-18). This glorious event occurs just before the start of the Tribulation which is a period of seven years. There will be peo ple saved during this time of un precedented trouble and turmoil. Revelation 7 speaks of a great host of people under the altar (vs. 11). White robes will be given to every one of them. They paid for their faith with their lives. The group will be made up of saved Jews (144,000) as well as a multitude of Gentiles "which no man can num ber." These people are often re ferred to as "tribulation saints." Q. Tucson, Ariz. "Why is Samson listed among the heroes of faith in the New Testament (Hebrews 11:32)? In the Old Testament we read of how he committed several crimes by burning the Philistines' wheat fields. He also violated his Nazarite vows. Any professing Christian today would be highly criticized for these things."
