Bible Question:
Is it true one of the last tangible signals, that the rapture is about to occur, is the fact or documentation that all people on the earth have had the chance to become a christian/hear the word of Jesus? |
Bible Answer: Ruckus Your referring to Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Reading what it says the "the End will come." It doesn't say the rapture will come, Jesus' second return will come but rather the end. Therefore the sequence could be. Gospel preached worldwide, rapture, Jesus' return, the End of this age. Or it could be rapture, gospel preached, Jesus’ return, the End of this age. Or it could be gospel preached, Jesus’ return, the End of this age. Or it could be Jesus’ return, gospel preached, the End of this age. Or it could be well you get the point. Jesus said no man knows the date and time but we can know the season. As we see things happening around us we know we are drawing closer. It is way pass the time for people to look for an indication before they start living for God. While Jesus’ second coming may be in the next instant or a thousand years for now, we all may be called home in our next heart beat. We are called to serve God now. It is time we get about the Master’s business. One thing we can be sure of each day is one day closer to the return of our Lord. EdB |
