Bible Answer: justme, consider this: Matthew 24:14 The Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and then the end will come. What is God's will? When we say in the Lord's Prayer, "thy will be done thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven what are we saying? Well we know what the Lord is not willing: The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 2 Pet 3:9 The Lord will have his Gospel of the Kingdom preached to all nations because he wishes for all to come to repentance. Now also consider this: Eph 5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. Now this passage tells us why Christ died: he gave himself for the church. when christ comes back he is coming back for the church. a church full of glory, not having spot or wrinkle, and being blameless. 2 Pet 3 speaks of the coming day of the Lord and in verses 11-12 it is stated: Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! This passage indicates that the coming day of God can be hurried or hastened (speudo) by holy conduct and looking for the coming of Christ, (mind you the church has nothing like holy conduct at the present day) so my answer is this: the kingdom of God and his Christ must be preached to all nations before the end will come, but the gospel will not be preached to all nations without a sanctified church, my prayer is Jesus purify your bride so the word gets out, and then come and get us, a glorious bride without spot or wrinkle. christlives1999 |
