Considering Revelation 8: THE JUDGMENT OF THE THIRD PART
In tribulation, God brings judgment on the WHOLE BODY which includes the THIRD PART prior to the separation. God it seems can focus death and destruction on the THIRD PART which we know from the rest of the Bible is the CHASTISEMENT of the elect coming into the Great Tribulation. It’s there that they are brought through the FIRE and are refined (Zec 13:9). Believers coming into the Tribulation had to be a real and frightful event. God was HIDING HIS FACE from the whole church body, including the elect. Then By His mercy and promise, He brings back their captivity as He opens the Bible and brings revelation to them today. Nothing can separate them from the love of Christ (Ro 8:35). This I believe is why they are able to understand the nature of today’s judgment on Babylon and the resurrection:
ESTABLISHED RATIO: THIRD PART = elect church body. TWO THIRDS = unsaved church body.
(As of now, I am not aware of a place in the Bible where God has revised this ratio and made it conditional based on context).
Zec 13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, TWO PARTS therein shall be cut off and die; but the THIRD shall be LEFT therein.
Zec 13:9 And I will bring the THIRD PART THROUGH THE FIRE, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried : they shall CALL ON MY NAME, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
Ac 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD shall be saved.
Zep 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD, to serve him with one consent.
Re 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, HOW LONG O LORD, holy and true, dost thou not judge and AVENGE OUR BLOOD on them that dwell on the earth?
DESTRUCTION COMES ON THE WHOLE BODY IN TRIBULATION:
Eze 7:12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for WRATH is upon ALL THE MULTITUDE thereof.
Da 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall DESTROY <07843> the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Da 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall DESTROY <07843> wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall DESTROY <07843> the mighty and the holy people.

Da 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to SCATTER the power of the HOLY PEOPLE, all these things shall be finished.

Re 11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their DEAD BODIES to be PUT IN GRAVES.
((elect body does not experience salvation (COMING OUT OF TRIBULATION) as long as they are killed. Thus the need for the resurrection when they stand upon their feet – Re 11:11, Eze 37:10))

Da 11:35 And some of them of understanding shall FALL, to TRY THEM, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the END: because it is yet for a time appointed.
(time of the END would have to relate to the DEPART OUT because it’s at that time, elect begin to receive revelation as God avenges their blood. Therefore they would no longer be considered to be in tribulation as God has shortened the days (Mt 24:22)

Re 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the THIRD PART of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the DAY SHONE NOT for a THIRD PART of it, and the night likewise.
____________________________
(The sun, moon and stars are symbolic of those dwelling in the churches. The THIRD PART of them experiencing darkness would relate to a partial darkening of the celestial bodies and appears to be the same as the two witnesses being killed).

Jer 2:34 Also in thy skirts is found the BLOOD of the souls of the POOR INNOCENTS: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
TRIBULATION: A partial darkness, judgment, chastisement of the Body prior to the separation, depart out (Salvation of the BODY)
Mt 24:7-8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in DIVERS PLACES. All these are the BEGINNING OF SORROWS.
Complete SORROW would then point to God’s judgment and destruction of the WHOLE BODY where there is no more room for repentance:
De 4:30 When thou art in TRIBULATION, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, IF THOU TURN TO THE LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
Re 2:21 And I gave her SPACE TO REPENT of her fornication; and she repented not.
Heb 6:6 If they shall FALL AWAY, to renew them again unto REPENTANCE; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Lu 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a GREAT GULF FIXED: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
