An End-Time Strategy
Monday, May 3rd, 2010
To say that we live in exciting days is an understatement. Never before in the history of man has the fulfillment of the great commission been so close. I know some of you may be a little cynical about this point, but it is true. Some of the top statisticians for the big missions organizations are saying that every people group on the earth will be engaged and have either a written bible translated in their mother tongue, or an oral set of bible stories in their mother tongue with in the next 5 to 15 years. This is absolutely amazing. When we really understand the full impact of this it means that with in the next 15 years, every tongue, tribe and nation on the earth will have the Gospel of the Kingdom presently being proclaimed there. The last time I read the Gospel of Matthew I remember a short little verse that says this Gospel of the Kingdom would be preached in every nation of the earth and then the end would come. See Matthew 24:14
Do we really understand what this means, It means that literally we could be living in the generation of the Lord’s return. There could be people alive today that will physically see Jesus come back to the planet and set up His everlasting Kingdom and His global government from Jerusalem.
You might be asking if there are any other things that must take place in order for Jesus to come back to the planet? The answer is yes, and it has to do the with prophetic purpose of the nation of Israel.
In Matthew 23:39, Jesus says to the people of the city of Jerusalem that they will not see Him again until they cry out, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”
We know from Isaiah 2, that in the last days that the nations will flock to Jerusalem to be taught of the ways of God by Jesus. It is necessary that Jerusalem receive Jesus as her King in order for the nations to be taught by Him there. We know that currently Jesus is not reigning as King in Jerusalem so something will have to change between now and then.
