Spreading the Gospel to the whole world today-is it possible? Tomorrow? Imagine all the obstacles to overcome. There are language barriers, cultural barriers, financial barriers, geographical barriers and ideological barriers. There has to be effective communications, a receptive audience, the proper dialect, political correctness, financial considerations and calculated time.
Don’t underestimate the warnings Jesus warned us about. In Matthew 24 He warned us about war and rumors of war. Famines, earthquakes, Christians being persecuted and killed, false prophets deceiving many, false Christ’s, lawlessness, and evil. In the end times the Lord says you will see an increase in frequency and intensity of disasters and deaths. On the Mount of Olives, the disciples asked Jesus for the sign of His coming and of the end of the age. Jesus’ first response was “Watch out that no one deceives you” Matthew 24:4. Problem is: When we look for signs we become susceptible to being deceived. The only sure way to keep from being deceived is to focus on Christ and His words. Don’t look for special signs and commentaries on The End Days…Look to Christ.
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, somewhere in the world; someone is hearing the gospel. The earth has seen full coverage for some time now. There’s television, cable, radio, cell phones, I-pods, blackberries, PDA’s, 3G, 4G, Gee Whiz, newspapers, books, magazines, songs, word of mouth, movies, evangelists and missionaries all over the world are working to get ‘The Word’ out to beat the deadline. What deadline you ask? Simple; once critical mass is reached, Matthew 24:14 affirms “Then the end will come.” And when is that you ask?
The end
