Luke 16:27"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'

29"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'

30" 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'

31"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' "

How do you reconcile this with the jesus of the stories who command the kids to warn the world?

Sounds like your assumption is that God

COULD NOT

change the rules in the END TIMES.

The Scriptures referred to a particular case which could have had those parameters for any number of reasons.

Putting God in a tidy little box has never worked well for me.

Enjoy the try. . . . though it strikes me as more than a bit . . . cheeky to imagine the loftiness to be able to do that.
