"I Will Never Abandon You

 "[God] has said: 'I will never abandon you, and I will never abandon you." - HEBREWS 13:5b.

Years ago, Jehovah's people wondered, 'When will the last of the anointed Christians be taken to heaven? We one thought that possible some of the anointed might remain in the earthly Paradise for some time after the war of Armageddon. But in the July 15, 2,013, issue of The Watchtower, we learned that all anointed one who are still on earth will be raised to heaven before the outbreak of Armageddon. - MATTHEW 24:31. 

However, a question may arise: What will happen to Christ's "other sheep" who will be serving Jehovah faithfully on earth during the "great tribulation"? (John 10:16; Matthew 24:21) Some today may worry that they will feel lost or abandoned when their beloved anointed brothers and sisters are taken to heaven. Let us examine two Scriptural accounts that might come to their mind. Then we will discuss reasons why there is no need to worry.
