The Importance of Religion

The above map is from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Religious_importance.png

"He hoped that the number who would receive him as the Son of God would be so few, that Jesus would consider his sufferings and sacrifice too great to make for so small a company. But I saw that if there had been but two who would have accepted Jesus as the Son of God, to believe in him to the saving of their souls, he would have carried out the plan." Great Controversy...Chapter 5, paragraph 3.

That first map is very interesting, Sister-in-Christ. My beloved country of Japan is down in the lowest ranking. It is sad to see most European countries, countries reaping many of the fruits of the Reformation, also down at the low end. No wonder most countries cannot understand America, because it is one of the few large countries left where many people claim to be Christian, and claim that it is important in their lives.

Surely Satan has been working hardest to get the Christians to turn their backs on Jesus. Sure, there will be some in the Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu and animist regions that turn to Christ, but the large majority of the last day saints, i believe, will be from Babylon - the group that once was pure, but has become impure.
