In the prophetic parable of Luke 14:16-24, Jesus prophesies the future of the Jews and the Gentiles (the next 2000 years for that time - for us it is mostly a review of the last 2000 years) and ends with Verses 23 & 24.
I believe Luke 14:23 is a picture of a final worldwide revival. “Compel them to come in that my house might be filled.” This is just before Jesus comes for his church (The Bridegroom for his Bride and the Marriage supper of the Lamb to follow (”None of them which were bidden [the Jews in verses 16-20] will taste of my supper.” Luke 14:24.)
“[T]he testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Rev. 19:10. When Jesus commands the church of Laodicea saying, “I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see” (Rev. 3:18), he is also prophesying an end-time return of the church to the true Gospel of the Grace of Christ which will precede and trigger the soon-coming worldwide revival.
Also Jude 3, “I...exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” prophetically points to a return of the church to the true Gospel of the Grace of Christ which is currently spreading among believers throughout the world - “The Grace Revolution.” Remember, the Church of Philadelphia is still around and has a great deal to do with the revival in the church which will precede the revival among non-believers around the world.
God in his great love and mercy is about to bring in and save as many who will come in from the unimaginable and horrific wrath to come.

Thank you so much for posting this link, fascinating. I been distracted by recent events, exposure of corruption at the highest levels of government, enough that, perhaps the heavens have been shaken by a great wind.
God is Good.

Ping, TBD. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. II Tim 2:15
1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD ...
(and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;) Isaiah 61
Here, Jesus precisely divided the word of truth.
