Jesus told His disciples, "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." Never before has that word stood out to me like a mountain peak in prophecy. There is clearly a cut off point where the Lord says it is done, or else He would not have said "then" cometh the end. The word "then" signifies a cut off point like a commencement announcement. My belief is the gospel of the kingdom HAS been preached throughout the whole world and it is the end, and this is the "then." Of course there are going to be people who will not have heard the gospel preached to them. In fact through the entire seven year tribulation, the gospel will be preached. It will then pick up again through out the one thousand year Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ.
However I am talking about a measure being filled up, where I believe we are at. The gospel that has been preached for hundreds of years has become so polluted, and up for grabs to anyone who feels they have a better handle on it. Teaching it with newer, and better insights than others, only to have done radical damage to it. "Gathering together teachers having itching ears." Right now, there are over 300,000 Protestant churches in America. Just do the division (300,000 divided by 50 states) and that's an average of 6,000 churches per state. Who has the truth? Are we any better than when this nation first started? The gospel being preached to all nations, has worn thin in our nation. It has been grossly altered, twisted, polluted, watered down and homogenized to the point it has largely become dead. Hearts being calloused to it. Now I say the TRUE gospel is not dead, because God "keepeth truth forever."
What I am getting at, is seemingly clear to me that the gospel has now been preached though out the whole world, and it is no doubt the end. So what does that mean for the gospel? The gospel must be preached no matter what by true Believers because it is eternally alive. Main stream churches are mostly dead and stand only as a religious system now. What the Lord had in mind is that we go and do it. One of the greatest lies is "big church." The expensive lighting, sound systems, and programs give creedence to their having the real truth. To the American Christian, more means they are the ones who have the truth. But it is the poor the gospel is preached to, and it is the poor who go out and preach it. True evangelism is one poor man showing another poor man where to find Bread. I don't believe Jesus had it in mind that only one man should do it all, and a select group. YOU are a direct part of the commission.
And that does not mean creating a ministry, we have enough of them. You have a life! Use your life right where you are, and that is how the gospel is preached to the poor. One person at a time to another person. The gospel is alive and will do all the work by virtue of the Holy Spirit. Let go of the news drama of impending doom, banking catastrophe's, deadly viruses on the horizon, civil wars breaking out. Look up, "For your redemption draweth nigh" and Jesus is at the door. "See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time because because the days are evil." Let only the power of the gospel be your anchor from now on It is what will guarantee an immoveable firm foundation, and solid safety to the end. Hold fast to what will abide forever..."World without end." Hold fast to what will abide forever..."World without end."
