I'll have to go dig up my religious studies/history of religion notes from college, but it's the same passage that the JW's and other Rapture-based sects quote when they talk about how many of the faithful will go away to the "promised land" when the trumpets blare. I remember the discussion turning to "and of course, everyone thinks that THEIR 500 million will be THE 500 million."
