THE APPOINTED DAY PART 11
Third advice of Jesus: He who endures to the end will be saved.
Matthew 24:13 ESV
13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. (Matthew 24:13 NLT 1960)
How can we persevere?
Psalm 24: 3-6
3 Who will ascend the mountain of the Lord? And who will be in his holy place? 4 The clean of hands and pure of heart; He who has not elevated his soul to vain things, Nor has sworn deceitfully. 5 He will receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of salvation. 6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, Of those who seek your face, O God of Jacob. Selah (Psalm 24: 3-6 KJV)
Who will go up at the time of the rapture? Psalm 24: 3-5 or Psalm 15
Psalm 15: 1-5 KJV
1 Jehovah, who will dwell in your tabernacle? Who will dwell on your holy mountain? 2 He who walks in integrity and does justice, And speaks truth in his heart. 3 He who does not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor admits reproach against his neighbor. 4 In whose eyes the vile is despised, But those who fear the Lord are honored. The one who, even swearing to hurt him, does not change for that; 5 Whoever did not give his money to usury, nor did he accept a bribe against the innocent. The person who does this thing will never slide. (Psalm 15: 1-5 KJV)
Persevere in faith and grace despite being hated for the sake of JESUS.
Verse 14 answers question 3: What sign will there be of the end of the age, the rapture?
This gospel of the Kingdom will be preached throughout the world. THEN THE END WILL COME
Therefore, all predictions before the year 1500, before the discovery of America, would be null before this sign.
I ask: Is this sign fulfilled? I do not know. Has this Gospel been preached to all nations to all races? Note that the signal is not to all people but to all nations.
Mark 13:10 ESV
10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. (Mark 13:10 NIV)
Let's look at some statistics:
Taken from the page Oasis HGM Missionary Training Center
World Population: 7 billion people.
There are 238 political countries in the world. 193 Independent Countries.
Approximately 11% of the population confesses to being a born again Christian. Another 20% attend church, but may not confess to being a Christian.
About 36% of the world's population has the opportunity to hear the Gospel, but they remain un-evangelized despite the frequency of churches in their region.
That leaves 32% of the world's population that has no opportunity to hear the Gospel. Many of these have never heard of the name of Jesus. 680 million.
The most dangerous country to preach the gospel is North Korea.
Has the 10/40 window been evangelized?
Most of the groups unreached by the gospel live in this area north of the continents of Africa and Asia. Christian missionary Luis Bush began calling this rectangular area or band the "10/40 window." He gave this area of Africa and Asia its name because it is located 10 degrees north of the Equator and 40 degrees north. From Ecuador.
World Evangelism Statistics
Of the last 55 evangelized countries, 97% of the population lives in the 10/40 window. Until very recently most people had never heard the gospel. Why do we wonder; Bryant Myers of World Vision estimates that only 1.25% of Christian missions are focused on working in the 10/40 window. Opening the gospel is difficult and in some respects impossible in many of the 10/40 window countries. They are known as "creative access" areas.
10/40 Window Quest Statistics
Center of the population Two-thirds of the world's population - more than 3.2 billion people - live in the 10/40 window.
Unreached and Unevangelised
95% of people live in the 10/40 window and these people have never heard of the gospel. Many of these people have not been reached by the gospel message even for one occasion.
Now for him the fulfillment of this sign is not that every human being has been evangelized but that in every nation they have preached this GOSPEL more than once. THEN THE END WILL COME.
Given this evidence, the rapture of the Church is imminent.
