God is not slack as some think......He is not willing that any should perish but all come to repentance!<br /><br />Neil - <br /><br />The Gospel will be preached to the ends of the Earth 'and then the end will come.'<br /><br />The rapture can happen right now if God chooses to make it so and that Prophecy will not be unfulfilled.<br /><br />The folks from every tribe, nation, people and tongue will be preached to because we know that they are in Heaven in chapter 7.<br /><br />They are there post rapture because the angel tell John that they came out of the Great tribulation.<br /><br />The question then becomes; how did they get there? Who preached to them if the church has already been raptured?<br /><br />In chapter 6 God sets apart the 144,000 jews from the 12 tribes to be witnesses for Christ. These Jews for Jesus will be part of the greatest evangelism campaign the world has ever seen!!<br /><br />On top of all that, the world stills has one more chance to repent and trust the Gospel......<br /><br />In chapter 14 verse 6 of Revelation we see that there is an angel that appears to mankind and proclaims the 'everlasting gospel' to every tribe, nation, tongue and people.<br /><br />After this last proclamation of the Gospel the end does indeed come fulfilling Jesus' prophecy.<br /><br />So yes! Jesus can come back right this minute if He chooses to and I look forward to it!!<br /><br />Come quickly Lord Jesus!Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667201139980869656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20374252.post-4986007210708742282009-07-28T18:43:15.499-05:002009-07-28T18:43:15.499-05:00Wayne,

Every human being on the planet, or just one per region or cultural group? <br /><br />Anyhow, yes, I think man does play a role; however, that does not mean he dictates the ultimate direction of his future or the time of Christ's return. God is in control, although I don't believe He is a Divine Puppeteer.<br /><br />It wouldn't seem logical to consider man having a role to the extent that it requires us to evangelise every human being on this earth, since that is impossible without God's direct involvement.Joe A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01829844489009564295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20374252.post-22302021211306840682009-07-28T10:11:54.815-05:002009-07-28T10:11:54.815-05:00Neil -
