Help Jesse De Plantis buy the jet he wants?

I saw a video of Jesse Duplantis, saying God asks him for his opinion. What blasphemy I thought. Don’t don’t stand too close to him in a thunderstorm, in case lightning bolts come down.
I do not, however, think there is any human activity, that can affect the time of His return. My opinion is, when God has decided, the last person, has come to faith in Christ, things will begin to happen, rather quickly.

To: Mark17
The passage in Matthew where Jesus tells his Jewish followers that the gospel will be preached in the whole world and then the end will come is not referring to the church but to the witnesses and the angel who will preach the good news of the coming akingdom, the millennial reign whensatan is imprisoned for 1000 years and the world is repopulated under the Reign of Christ. Mattew 23 through 24 and into 25 is givern to the Jews not the church and refrences the time of Jacob's Troubles not the Church. The effects of the judgments coming from the opening of the seven sealed scroll are world-wide but the focus Jesus was making for His disciples was answering their questions for Israel and the Temple. That is why we see in The Revelation that the antichrist goes tot he Temple, not the UN or Babylon, Jerusalem and the rebuilt Temple.

When Jesus gave the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 23-25), He had not yet revealed The Church Age which Paul was given task to expound upon. It is not until later in that same week that He reveals the Church Age during His Upper Room Discourse on the night He was betrayed (John 13 and 14)
