But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming, then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

The question is what is God asking US to do to fix this world?
He has millions of children, who have his Spirit and every spiritual blessing, and who are called to be salt and light. We are asked to preach Good News to the poor, to set captives free, to feed the hungry, bind up the broken hearted and make a difference - what are we doing about it? What are you doing about it?
When Jesus returns; the time and date of which we do not know.
So just be ready - and keep on serving him.

Use Christians to spread the light, use all other people to develop a peaceful society with better and better technology, healthcare, life span etc.
What? We are here to work and to make the world better, not to be delivered to some golden castle.

No man we were never told to set captives free ect. It was prophecy for Messiah to fullfill can u imagine we go to death row and just free all these murderers and drug users back to society for no reason ? It would be disaster...

It doesn't necessarily mean literally. But there may be some who are called to help prisoners, repeat offenders, people who are released from jail, have nowhere to go and no job - some of whom end up committing another crime to get a roof over their heads.
How would you help to set someone free from addiction, poverty or an abusive partner?
How would you help someone who was trapped in sin, negative thoughts, destructive behaviour?
What about someone who is trapped by other people's opinions of them; a parent/partner who constantly belittled them and told them they were worthless? Or someone who is trapped by material things - and has to have more and more possessions to make themselves feel good, or worthwhile?
Didn't Jesus come to set free those who were trapped by sin? And didn't he tell us to preach the Gospel of forgiveness and second chances?

Most of this doesn't matter if person goes to hell for eternity anyways thats not number 1 priority. Why feed unbeliever to what prolong his existance by few days then he died and burns anyways?

1. Finish the sanctification of HIS sinful elect, ie the sinful good seed, so they will not be pulled up with the weeds in the jugement.
2. End the postponement of the judgement of the demons and cast Satan and his angels, the goats aka weeds, into the fiery outer darkness.
3. Call for the wedding of the Lamb to His perfect Bride to start the the perfect marriage, the heavenly experience of the perfect communion of loving telepathic communication within us.
When? All in its perfect time....but the more stubborn the sinful good seed are when resisting sanctification and their training in righteousness Heb 12:5-11, the longer it will take.

The perfect world is heaven and not this world.
This messed up world is atually the very best place for willing individuals to fulfill their earthly objective.

It's what Jesus told us to do. We don't do it to BE saved; we do it because we ARE saved and following Jesus.
We don't know whether a person's going to hell or not.
What??
Are you saying that poor, homeless, hungry people aren't important because they may be going to hell anyway?
i) Jesus didn't only help, and heal, those who would believe in him - he died for sinners and healed even those who were non believers. Jesus told us that if we only love those who love us in return, that is no good, and is nothing better than the pagans do.
ii) You have no idea who's going to hell and who isn't.
iii) Supposing someone who is hungry/poor/homeless and begging for food ends up in hell because YOU didn't preach the Gospel to them?
iv) or supposing you walk past someone who is hungry/poor/homeless, don't bother to help them because you assume they are going to hell, and then find out they are in heaven and both they, and God, are asking you why you didn't help them - see the parable of Abraham and Lazarus.
v) Jesus was on the side of the poor, hungry and underprivileged - not those who were righteous, rich and believed they did not need a doctor.

How do you not know if person is goin to hell or not u can just ask them if they're saved or not?
Not saying I would never share since I always do but its not main issue.
I'd still prefer to donate to some sort of missionary fund than homeless shelter tho.
We live in age where food is so abundand countries like US waste up to 50% of thier food and just discard it , don't even need to invest any more or anything simply some time to pickup leftover food and re-distribute it to poor which some people do on thier own.
But thats not priority , still gospel is first then food shelter and anything else.
