We are not anywhere near the end times.
One critical precondition for the end times is that the vast majority of the world will have been converted to Christianity.
AFTER THAT, there will arise a Great Apostasy and schism.
We haven't got there yet...
Reread that Scripture, Poohbah. You have it wrong.
The Scripture mentions that the GOSPEL WILL BE PREACHED TO EVERY PEOPLE GROUP.
That point is ALMOST upon us. I haven't checked with Wycliffe recently but the end point is more and more rapidly approaching thanks to the casset tape. Instead of working hardest and first to get the Scriptures translated into written text--challenging when some tribal groups have no written language--the translators are translating things orally and distributing them on cassettes with players. That has shortened the time taken tremendously.
Last I heard about 15 years ago--they expected it could be completed in another 20-30 years.
That brings that Biblical benchmark much, much closer. Add in satellite radio as well as just languages being lost in favor of more common ones . . . and we are getting very, very close.
Did you read the report on Soros comments about bringing about the global government very soon?
My flesh and comfort zones
would CERTAINLY wish you were accurate, Poohbah.
It's just not to be.
And, we were born for such a time as this.
