Worldly friends

Non-PRO English to French Other Religion
Hello. Can you help me translate this please ? Thank you. Worldly friends. I don't think they speak about non Christians .I'm not sure. For worldly can mean non Christians i suppose, but also lukewarm born again Christians, so one feet in the Church, one feet in the world.

out of these events the Lord Christ will refine his Church, his bride , ready for the rapture . ask the Lord Christ if these things are true . if you’re a born again Saint, he will reveal it to you . many Saints have had the same dreams . meteors falling, a lot of distress, humans dead, tsunami waves, earthquakes, destruction, this is what’s coming right now . let’s understand the judgements are coming . be not ashamed of the judgements of God . millions are gonna die, many of them are gonna be some of our worldly friends . may the Lord Christ protect you, may he guide you in spirit & in truth .

à partir de ces événements, le Seigneur Christ affinera son Église, son épouse, prête pour l'enlèvement. Demandez au Seigneur Christ si ces choses sont vraies. si vous êtes un Saint né de nouveau, il vous le révélera. de nombreux saints ont fait les mêmes rêves. des chutes de météorites, beaucoup de détresse, des morts, des vagues de tsunamis, des tremblements de terre, des destructions, voilà ce qui va arriver en ce moment. comprenons que les jugements arrivent . n'ayez pas honte des jugements de Dieu . des millions vont mourir, beaucoup d'entre eux seront nos amis du monde . que le Seigneur Christ vous protège, qu'il vous guide en esprit et en vérité .

many of them are gonna be some of our worldly friends .

beaucoup d'entre eux seront nos amis mondains.

beaucoup d'entre eux seront nos amis séculaires .

beaucoup d'entre eux seront nos amis du monde .

beaucoup d'entre eux seront nos amis de ce monde.

beaucoup d'entre eux seront nos amis terrestres .

beaucoup d'entre eux seront nos amis impies.

beaucoup d'entre eux seront nos amis irréligieux.

beaucoup d'entre eux seront nos amis séculiers.

beaucoup d'entre eux seront nos amis profanes.

beaucoup d'entre eux seront nos amis laïcs.

nos amis de ce monde

Hey Jenni,

Can't tell for sure but given the context I guess they mean the friends in this world, as opposed to the eternal world.

This is what I get from the extract you posted and I think this has the mot sense.
This could however also mean friends that are not religious and will then fall victims to the disasters, however I think that my translation convey kind of both meanings without being too precise, and would be satisfactory whatever the real meaning is (given that the real meaning is a bit ambiguous in English too).
