One marks of coming of Christ is fulfilling soon!

LINK: GOSPEL as a testimony to all nations

One important mark, which must fulfill before the public coming of Jesus, is, that the gospel will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations. The fulfillment of this important mark doesn’t so mean, that all nations or ethnic groups would receive salvation, but that they could hear a testimony of the gospel of Christ. Has also been presented, that with the matter is connected a testimony of Christ’s dominance and power in that way, that the reality of his kingdom becomes visible; like a little in the same way as also took place during the early church, 2000 years ago:



- (Matt 24:14) And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.



As far is then concerned fulfillment of this mark, so being connected with it we can make a couple of interesting observations. They indicate, that the fulfillment of this mark is much closer than for example 100 years ago:

You can pretty much speculate all you want. But nobody is certain for sure, revelations never gives a "timeline" of how close or far things will be. Plus the early disciples thought that the second comming was soon, which is why they didn't keep written records of Jesus untill after they realized it was not soon.

Yup... What MSP said... There can be a thousand years between two prophecies... I'm going for "Jesus will be here sometime in the next 17,000 years" theory. We're in the last days, but we've been there for 2000 years... [spoiler=my own belief]I don't have the reference right now, but the idea I got was that Jesus was supposed to come before the disciples all died. In I Peter, it says Jesus isn't being slow to come, he's being patient because people aren't ready... I'd dare say they're still not ready. [/spoiler]

At teh same time, we should live like he's coming right now, at least in the fact that we're not sinning and being good witnesses, not that we run to the hills...

actually, there are still peoplegroups who we have not reached, one of which I can think of because they are xenophobic. I remember the story just recently of such people killing two fishermen in there sleep when their boat drifted too close to their land. The only way that their fate was truly known was by helicopter view, and even then the people tried shooting down the helicopter with arrows. This prophecy has yet to be fulfilled.

there are about 6,000 something people groups who have not even HEARD of Christ. So that is not true.
besides, no one knows for sure when the Kingdom will be established. you can estimate and guess all you want, but only the Father knows when it is time. you can say that revelation points out alot of things of what's happening to the world today... but shouldn't it? we are heading to the future which means we are closer to the end of times. that doesn't mean we have the ability to predict.

Only the Father knows when the Second Coming is coming. Its best not to spectulate but live out our lives in faith and tell others about him. I do agree that we are closer to the Second Coming, than 100 years ago, but that doesn't mean anything but that we are further along in the timeline then we were then.
