Hello, Let's let Jesus answer that question from the book of Matthew chapter 24. The whole chapter has to do with the difining of the "end times", but there are some particular verses that give us clues especially verse 14 the gospel of the kingdom will be preached before the end comes. The gospel has had more freedom now than ever in history. The bible is written in more languages. . . In Daniel 12:4 he is told: "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal up the book, even to the time of the end. . ." Is the book of Daniel understood today? I believe it is. God Bless you Jeff W |

Hi Jeff, I agree what you are saying in Matt. 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. The big problem is man doesn’t know where everyone is and he can’t get the job done sufficiently, but there is someone who can, the Lord and His wrath will follow right after all the nations have heard His message; this is the final chance for people to trust in the Lord and to praise Him for who and what He is! Rev. 14:6-7 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, [7] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. The previous two verses are the execution of exactly what Jesus was saying in Matt. 24:14, only with more details given on exactly how the gospel will reach everyone. CDBJ |

Hello CDBJ, I agree with you. The only way the gospel can be preached to all the world is by the power of the Holy Spirit. Look at all the televangelists. There are many out just for filthy lucre, but there are some that are sincerely preacheing the gospel of Jesus Christ in truth. Compare this effort with just on day of preaching on the day of pentecost, wow!!! Did the apostles have sattelite TV, or radio stations, or even a P.A. system? All our human efforts are nothing. Are we seeing many flocking to Christ today? I see many flocking to the churches, I'm not judging, but where is the primitive Godliness displayed by the apostles today? How many of us, me included, are willing to toatlly give our lives to Jesus and let Him pour out His Spirit with that kind of power? Yes Rev 14:6-12 is very pertinant for us today. What is an angel? An angel is a messenger. We are the three angels of Rev 14:6-12. Who else is going to preach the gospel. God could make apostles out of rocks, but with His infinite wisdom, and love He chose us to finish the job. We are not waiting on Him to come, He is waiting for us to finish the job, and until we give our WHOLE heart to Him I don't believe He will trust us with the pentecostal power. God Bless you Jeff W |
