 What about those "Without the Gospel?"

The flashing blue or red light on top of an emergency vehicle is a signal of need: The emergency could be a fire, a crime, or a person in physical duress. Whenever you see the flashing light, you know there is a need. The flashing light is symbolic of something else too. The speed at which the light flashes is approximately the average rate in which people are dying and going to hell. That’s about 1.7 people every second. Of course, there is no way of accurately knowing how many people are dying and going to hell. Only God knows for certain.

Based on the world’s population, mortality rate and an estimated number of true believers, a yearly average can be estimated. Based on this rate, here is how the numbers add up:

1.68 per second
101 per minute
6048 per hour
145 thousand per day
53 million per year
3.7 billion per average lifetime (70 years)


As with any statistic, it is easy to forget each number represents a person, an eternal soul, someone just like you. Although we cannot fully comprehend it, God has a personal and deep love for each person. The harvest truly is great and the laborers are few. Hosea 4:6 says, "For a lack of knowledge, my people perish."

The next time you see a flashing light, remember it is symbolic of someone entering into a Christ-less eternity. Also remember, if it were not for the faithfulness of another believer, that flashing light would have been symbolic of your fate. The flashing lights are declaring a need; a need for us to pray, give, and go.

Hi Greg,
You said:

Do you think you could break that down for us by Denomination?

Based upon my scientific estimates. 100% of those people( ABOVE THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY) that die without being born again go to hell, to await the 2nd resurrection,and the Lake of Fire.
