This "''prerequisite necessity''" of a consciously aware and understanding faith clearly excludes newborns, babies, children in arms who cannot talk or walk, who have died before they are able to understand anything, the mentally incompetent, and the [[Ignorance|ignorant]], all who do not believe simply because they have never heard the Gospel nor were they capable of understanding it. Author John Henry does not represent the Wrath of God as being expressed in the [[Last Judgment|final condemnation]] of the cursed human followers of the Devil and his angels (and of death and even hell itself). He takes no notice of the fact that in Revelation 20:11-15 the Wrath of God is clearly evident in their total and irrevocable condemnation to the Second Death of eternal torment in the lake of fire on the Last Day, but instead he restricts the Wrath of God to the Great Tribulation of Revelation 6–16, ending with chapter 16, the Wrath of God which the saved will escape.

Moreover, this strongly contrasts with the fact that in the midst of the Wrath of God in the Tribulation, in Revelation 7:2-8 and 9:4, those with the seal of God upon their foreheads were not harmed, evidently because God hath not appointed them unto wrath, but to obtain salvation (1 Thessalonians 5:9): as Psalm 91 says, "''A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.''"

Jesus in Matthew 24:21-22 clearly says that for the sake of the elect (whom God has chosen) the days of the great tribulation will be shortened that they might be saved. If they are not on earth at the time of the great tribulatin, but are raptured before the great tribulation, there would be no reason to shorten the days for their sake.
