Either that, or you doubt a world wide revival could take place like what happened in Nineveh.
No world wide revival when time is no more.
God is not willing that any should perish.
But not ALL will come to repentance.
At what point in any one's life does God say enough is enough?
When God gives them over to a reprobate mind.
Do you think the world in general is past that point?
Yes. We're in the wrath phase right now. It almost reads like three strikes and you're out. The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven now. John MacArthur calls it the wrath of abandonment.
1) God gave them over.
2) God gave them over.
3) God gave them over.
"God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.
"God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
"God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
So when this happens on a global scale, we enter into the night when no man can work, the "night" of Luke 17:
"I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”
(Why would two men be in a field at "night")
Previously, prophecy expositors have poo pooed the idea that Jesus is speaking of homosexuals in Luke 17. Although He clearly reinforces that interpretation in verses 34 and 35 of the same chapter.
All throughout the Bible, the Days of Noah, the days of Lot, and of Sodom and Gomorrah, represent the type of lust that will immediately precede the Man of Sin, the Antichrist, and of the end of the human civilization occurring after the flood. Time to pack a bag. We are the first civilization since the Flood that has legalized same sex marriage.
Two women "grinding" on the same "night" when two men are in the same bed?
"If mine heart have been deceived by a woman,
Or if I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door;
Then let my wife
grind unto another,
And let others bow down upon her. - Job 31: 9-10
"Grinding" was a metaphor for sex in the Tanakh. The grinding stone was often phallic in shape and was placed into the opening where the grain was waiting to be ground by the stone.
"When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife [enjoy conjugal relations with her] which he hath taken. No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man’s life to pledge. If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you. - Deuteronomy 24:5-6
Rabbi Elie Munk comments:
One shall not take an upper or lower millstone as a pledge. The Midrash notes a symbolic linkage between this verse and the previous passage having to do with marriage. After the first sin, Eve was told, your craving shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you. [The set of upper and lower millstones are considered to be an analogy for a husband and wife, with the lower millstone, corresponding to the wife.].

If, not, why claim revival is impossible, because God said so in the first century?
No. Because we're deeper into Revelation's narrative than most realize.
We are here:
"The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
And here:
"And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
See these guys waiting in line for a Monkeypox vaccine. They would seek any treatment, any kind of vaccine and anti-virals, so they can continue in their iniquity. And if you question them, ask them about God, or their behaviours, be prepared as they can very frequently and violently blaspheme the Name of God with the worst expletives.
"It felt like I had three fissures right next to each other, and
it was absolutely excruciating. I would literally scream out loud when I went to the bathroom.
"And in those days shall men seek death, (the penalty for sin IS death), and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
In the "night" when no man can work, we reach the point when everyone is either "marked", or "sealed". Just in the hours prior to Jesus' Arrival. This has to be completed by then.
The only wild card remaining are these guys:
I'm sure the Devil knew that many of these were to be our brothers and fellow servants. The Devil knew how the Westminster Confession of Faith was correct concerning the elect infantry.
Peaceful Sabbath.
