The end is not near!!

Did you "see happenning" the fall of the Soviet Union in a very short time?

God will do what needs to be done, and He will use people to finish the work.

The gospel went quickly after the day of Pentecost in similar circumstances as seen in the Middle East today.

Big Christian organizations (with brick and mortar) do not have to built up for the gospel to go into all the world.

Who said the end was near?

Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Christianity has spread the gospel into almost the whole world. When it completes the task, "then shall the end come."

With modern communications and transportation, I say the end is near.

Every nation has had a chance to hear the word. With all the missionary work even in places where it's dangerous to be a Christian like China or the middle east. People with radio can get the word too. They set up large radio networks so that even repressed people can hear his word. Every nation has atleast a few Christians, it's just that in some of those nations you don't hear about it.

Rev 14:4 ...the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth--to every nation, tribe, language and people.

The gospel is NOT going into EVERY language group yet.


NEARLY HALF OF THE WORLD'S 6,800 LANGUAGES DO NOT HAVE EVEN ONE VERSE OF GOD'S WORD. http://www.wycliffe.ca/home/HTML/nut_vision25.html

When you say the "End",to what are you referring?? The end of the age, the end of the world, the end of life or what?? I believe the end of the age is upon us. I also believe that reaching (ALL) nations with the gospel, will not be completed by the church. I believe that the church has done most of the work, but the 144,000 sealed Jews will complete the job and then the end will come. I also don't expect to still be down here when the job is finished. We are doing our part now.

the end may not be near but are you near the end?

who told you that?

Gospel Preached to the Whole World
Pope John Paul II has traveled to 70-plus nations during his pontificate, preaching the gospel to millions. The Rev. Billy Graham recently conducted a week-long crusade from Costa Rica translated into every language on the planet and broadcast via satellite around the globe. With Communism's collapse, Christian radio and TV are now reaching into almost every nook and cranny of planet Earth. "...and this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached to the whole world and then the end shall come." Mt. 24:14.

>> People with radio can get the word too.

The US Government has actually been giving away radios in Afganstan with hand cranked generators in them, so they do not need to replace the battery.

We are already on TV in Pakinstan. Once you have been on radio - TV, you can go into a country with a three day crusade and get people saved & baptised in the Holy Spirit.

God could get the job done of taking this gospel to the whole world with as few as 50 Holy, Sanctifed people. He will get the job done using about 300 people.

I have been to the very ends of the world in the Philippiens, and what they say is true. There are people living in grass huts that have almost nothing, but they have a TV and a antenna sticking out of their grass hut.

If you have never been there, then you have no way to comprehend how little they have and what a miracle it is, that they have a tv set so we can get the gospel to them.

The difficult part is to give them a Bible and printed books, that is where the real expense comes in. I think it would be cheaper to put it on a cd disk with mp3 technology. You could give them up to 100 sermons on one disk, and a mp3 disk player cost about $100 right now.

We have at least 500 sermons on tape. Just our "love language" series is up around 280 sermons right now. He has been preaching on that topic for over 5 years now. The mysteries of God series before that was about 60 tapes.

Anyways, we can and we will get the job done and it will be a quick work. So it would be a really good idea for you all to get ready for Jesus to come. The work of getting the gospel in all purity to the ends of the world could very well be a quicker work than you think. Thanks, JohnR7

Matthew 21:31-32
Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said to Him, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. [32] For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; and when you saw it, you did not afterward relent and believe him.

The end to sin is not a loss, but a gain. First the avenger, then two witnesses, then 144,00. When you have seen this, you will run to the LORD to say how great thy faith always was. HE is not deceived, yet HE is forgiving. amen

>>Can you imagine the Middle East abandoning
Allah and to start preaching publicly that
Jesus is the son of God?

Want to go with us? Be sure your right with God, it is not a safe place to be if your not right with God. But some of the countries we have been to in Africa are not a safe place to go to either. But when you go with God, you have nothing to worry about.

It takes more than just TV and Radio, you still have to go to each nation in person to get people saved and baptised in the Holy Spirit. But you can do a nation in a three day crucade. Thanks, JohnR7

>>two witnesses, then 144,00.

That is during the tribulation, when the age of the gentiles, the age of grace has come to an end. Twelve thousand from each of the twelve tribes of Isreal. 144,000 seems like a lot of people to get the job done, but then I guess they will only have 7 years to do it.

The world will be a very different place to live during those 7 years, because the Bride will be taken out of here.

YOU have been in tribulation since John wrote revelation. The avenger begins the seven years to prepare the world for the LORD....the avenger is not the LORD, but a man who is a Faithful and True servant and will sit at the right hand of JESUS same as JESUS sat at the right hand of the FATHER. For the avenger has the FATHER, SON and HOLY GHOST in him and by the SPIRIT does these things. Isaiah 28:6 & 21 shall help thy sight. There are many things you have read but as you have not the gift of assembly, you know not how to fasten all things together. FOR by the SPIRIT of GOD may an individual be brought to know all things in heaven, all things John did not write down, all things said in the upper room, and all things of men and the truth of even those things. amen

Hello AWhite,
The Middle East knows what the gospel is. They have willingly rejected the truth, out of ignorance of course. There are some Christians in those small countries though. They believe in secret, because it's against the law.

The scripture says that it will be preached in all the world, that doesn't mean that it has to be accepted. Maranatha, soon and very soon, we are going to see the King !!
