According to your Bible, it doesn't seem as if many people will get the gold ring.
Only 144,000 according to some denominations.
That would put almost every Christian that's ever existed out of the running.
Even if you don't accept that number, the verse alone is bad news for believers as well as heathens...sketchy at best.
144,000 referred to in Revelation are old testament saints from the 12 tribes of Israel.
The exact number of people saved is not mentioned in the bible.
it is a sad verse.. the way is simple, accessible, and easy to enter, but many will try their own way and it'll fail hard
13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."
Sorry, but that does NOT mean that the way into the Kingdom of God is simple, accessible and easy to enter.
I'll assume that you don't want to contend with the troublesome issue of there are few who find it.
