The Body of Christ is growing amid people of color, in South America, in Africa . . . what does that mean for the gospel? for missionaries? It simply means one thing: Praise God, come quickly Lord Jesus! We are getting closer and closer to the fulfillment of Matthew 24:14 in which our Lord Jesus taught,

"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."

Then the very next verse says what comes: "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains . . . "Matthew 24:15-16. Read the entire chapter for context, please.

Just watch and beware, because our Lord in the same chapter of Matthew warned us that there would be many deceivers when we see the end times.

"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Matthew 24:24.

Why do we suppose the speakers at this conference are making such an issue about the color of the skin of various Christian people in the US or other countries? I don't get that.

Christians in other countries are strong in the faith? They don't share my skin color? Cool. That just means that the missionaries have steadily been working themselves out of a job--exactly what they're supposed to be doing, praise the Lord!

"Let the nationals develop their own movements?" Movements are not the gospel. Let's remember that.

Just a quick question: once the gospel has been preached to all nations, the Great Commission has been fulfilled, what do we do next? That's the biggest question, and that's what the Bible tells us. Basically, watch out for deception, tribulation, and watch out for the Antichrist and his Mark, and watch of the bodily return of our Lord Jesus!

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
