THE FURNACE OF BONDAGE
God shows us that His people came out of the furnace of bondage after all three great tribulations. For our Final Great Tribulation this was at Judgment Day (May 21, 2011). This was the Great Multitude which no man can number represented as the Locusts coming forth out of the bottomless pit.

Jacob's great tribulation came to an end after 7 years but they remained within Egypt for an additional 425 years because God was creating a nation. Then they were finally released from bondage. God symbolized this bondage as a furnace. The Israelites came forth out of the furnace.
Their bondage/captivity was physical. They were under slavery to the Egyptians.

8400 day Great Tribulation ends
Our great tribulation came to an end after 23 years. Every person that the Lord had planned to save from the beginning of time was saved out of the bondage to sin. This bondage is known as the furnace. The Great Multitiude (symbolized as the Locusts) came forth out of the furnace.
The Great Multitude were under the bondage of sin until every soul that God had intended to save was saved on M21.

And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
God's people coming out of the furnace of bondage
Every soul that has ever lived has been in the furnace
All persons are under the wrath of God and in bondage to sin until the Lord shows mercy to those individuals He has chosen to save.
* The unsaved within the furnace:
They remain under the bondage of sin and not with God. These souls may or may not believe in the Lord.
They are afflicted with the heat by being burned and finally destroyed at the End.
* The saved within the furnace:
They are purified as silver within the furnace and are no longer under the bondage of sin and come out. These are God's chosen throughout history.
The unsaved within the furnace
The unsaved are under condemnation
