Christians currently make up just 2% of Israel’s adult population.

So this is rather significant when considering the Rapture…Israel will hardly be affected should 1% or 2% of it's population be caught up to heaven. Numbers wise, this would be somewhere around 80,000 to 150,000 people total.
In comparision, according to a 2014 study by the Pew Research Center, 3% of the adult population of the United States identified themselves as Jewish, 70.6% of the adult population of the United States identified themselves as Christians, with 46.5% professing attendance at a variety of churches that could be considered Protestant, and 20.8% professing Roman Catholic beliefs.
Even if only 1/2 of those who identify as themselves as Christians are caught up to heaven, that would be 35% of the entire population of the United States, or over 100 million people. The country would essentially cease to exist and would instantly transform from a land of law and order to disorder, or chaos or anarchy.
Think about it.

I think these % are far far from reality. Keep in mind, most who claim to be Christians, have been raised under very false gospel, do not know what true salvation is, what it takes to be saved, do not have a testimony of their day of salvation, have no testimony of any activity of God in their lives, show no indication of having the Holy Spirit, do not understand the bible, do not know how to read the bible, do not acknowledge hell, satan, or that people are basically ''bad' and have need of being made anew. For most, they call themselves ''christian' simply because they ''go to church'' and most do not like all of scripture. Sad, but true.
''Narrow is the gate to life, and few there be that find it; but wide is the gate to destruction and most go through it''. So the stated 100 million 'christians' is far from reality.
