Matthew 24:14 And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come. --NASB In the name of the One Whose Gospel is preached in the whole world, amen.
There are Bible societies whose over riding purpose is to get the Gospel into the hands of everybody in the world so that the end can come. Certainly we want the Gospel to be available to everyone. That is a noble cause. But the idea that the Gospel has not yet gone out into the whole world does not square with Scripture. There are passages that tell us that the Gospel has been preached everywhere. Even the passages that urge Christians not to be troubled by someone who says the end has already come show us that all the signs that Jesus spoke of have been fulfilled.
Truly it is God's grace that He would not let the end come before the Gospel had been preached in the whole world. Truly it is His grace just as it is His grace that He takes His time in returning. It allows us to continue preaching the Gospel so that no one is lost whom God chose in Christ Jesus. Amen.
