God has promised to ALWAYS have a remnant, not just during the endtimes.

Funny how you think the rapture already occured - when John never wrote the book of Revelation, which deals with the Tribulation period/Daniels' seventieth week when God turns back to Israel, until AD 96!! Still future prophecy. God is still dealing with the churches, Jesus has not returned yet, the Antichrist is not ruling the world with his one-world government and church, and no mark of the beast has been established worldwide, Jesus is not physically reigning from Jerusalem yet, and the devil is not bound for 1000 years yet.
