[Eccl 10:2]

Matthew 24:14 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.

Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

This is why this ministry is so important. The Bible says that the end will come, that Christ will return when this happens, that the Word be brought to everywhere on the Earth.

[Alex Murphy]

An estimated 5.8 billion people now have all or some of the Holy Bible translated into their first language, and the Bible is now in more than 2,800 different languages, according to a recent announcement by Wycliffe Bible Translators USA.

That's an awesome thing.

[Don Corleone]

To paraphrase San Fran Nan,”You have to read it to find out what’s in it”.

RE: ”You have to read it to find out what’s in it”.

I will propose this to my pastor as a sermon topic :)

>The Bible says that the end will come

Well the Sun will eventually burn out, that’s for certain.

The same Wycliffe that the Roman church had his body exhumed and burnt at the stake - that Wycliffe?

This organization is named after him, yes, but it’s not anti-catholic by any means.

[Well the Sun will eventually burn out, that’s for certain.]

The light of the SON will shine forever.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Absolutely astounding news. What hath God wrought!

[Hebrews 11:6]

You have to read it to find out what’s in it.”

And then, of course, once you have found that out, to obey it:

Luke 6:46-48: “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built."

Good one

Revelation 21:23 (KJV)

23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

[KarlInOhio]

It would be interesting to see what languages they are working on. 67 in Europe? Unless they are counting dialects instead of languages (the poor, neglected people have to read the Bible in Standard English rather than their special way of speaking) I have no idea how you can get to 67.

As it was in Gen 1, so shall it be. His light will provide for all.

[Fester Chugabrew]

I’d like to see the Ebonic version.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Can't help you with an Ebonic version, but here's the next best thing: Hawaiian Pidgin English. For example, here's John 3:16:

God wen get so plenny love an aloha fo da peopo inside da world, dat he wen send me, his one an ony Boy, so dat everybody dat trus me no get cut off from God, but get da real kine life dat stay to da max foeva.

Inspiring to da max, ain't it?
