Now more than ever it is possible, thanks to television, the inter net and, good old fashioned missionary work the word is getting out, to more people than ever before, even in the most remote places on earth, please don't be confused with the amount of people that hear the gospel, verses the amount of people that believe, God wants all to hear , and believe but he forces no one, all that hear will not be saved, yet all will hear and will have no excuses for their unbelief,and will be rewarded for their belief with life eternal,their are approximately two billion Christians in this world, the first billion came without the help of TVs or computers, largely word of mouth alone was the sole communication, for the past nineteen centuries are so, not to mention ligature, the bible, other Christians, the telephone, letters an so on, their are many more means of getting our message across, to the world now, so I think it not only is possible, but it is happening as I speak !!

Actually, the Bible says that He will come when the number of Christians is complete. Nearly everyone has already heard the message in some way or another, or at least had the opportunity to do so, whether they chose to listen or not. Sometime after the last person in the world who will ever become a Christian does, Jesus will come again. Will it be instantly or sometime later? Dunno.

The three main religions all basically agree on the signs of his returning - there are many more, these are not in order.

Signs that foretell the coming:

The Bible - CHRISTIANITY - Christians (Jesus Christ):


"...all will see Him, and recognize Him..."

"the Sign of the Son of Man will come on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory with the angels".

the earth will hear a great roar

Israel is reestablished -Jews are persecuted

Celestial disturbances, eclipsis of the sun, the moon will cease to shine

"nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:..."

"...and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places"

the murder of innocent children

"there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets"

"men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers..."

"...disobedience to parents, unthankfulness, unholiness"

Preaching increases, confusion abounds

time of The Great Tribulation

"...the last hour...for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the son of destruction is revealed..."

Jews will be persecuted for thier rejection of Christ, and will flee

He will redeem the dead at the Mount of Olives


Tanakh Writings - JUDAISM - Jews (Messiah Y'Shua):


...he will be seen descending in the East, and the world will mourn..."

"...and the sign of the Son of Man will appear.....coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great splendor"

Israel returns to Jerusalem, suffering

"the sun will turn into darkness and the moon into blood"

"..the kingdoms will challenge each other..."

"many diseases, pestilence and epidemics"

"earthquakes and famines"

"the whole world will be blood"

we will experience the antimessiah (false Christ)

"the truth will be rare and the face of that generation will be as the face of a dog;..."

"...boys will insult aged people and youngsters will feel no shame before their fathers..."

Knowledge decreases - the wise will be scarce

there will be a great tribulation, all men flee

"..The Son of David will not come until Israel descends to the lowest degradation..."

He will raise the dead at the Mount of Olives

Hadith Writings - ISLAM - Muslims (Prophet Issa):


"from the... dawn...all eyes will fall upon him as he descends..."

"Issa, the son of Maryam, will be seen decending from the sky keeping his hands on the shoulders of two angels..."

Jerusalem will be rebuilt, then destroyed forever

there will be a great noise like the roar of a lion

eclipses of the sun and moon, a comet rises in the East, the moon splits in two, the sky turns red with fire

major wars, great cities fail

earthquakes, famines, epidemics, disasters

the killing of the innocents; increased suicides, lakes of blood

the emergence of the antichrist/false Messiahs

exploitation of religion for personal interest, men's faces will become like pigs and dogs

moral degeneration, corruption, oppression of True Believers

religious knowledge becomes sparse

tribulation will be thick as smoke, Jews hide behind every stone

"The Last Hour would not come unless the Muslims fight against the Jews…"

He will resurrect the dead at the Mount of Olives


I do think this is one and the same guy!

When missionaries first came to Fiji and preached of who Christ was, one of their elders said that he had already known the story, as his grandfather had received it through a dream. He went on to recite, with greater detail, stories from each gospel as well as another instance of mass conversion (Jesus preaches to and converts 3,000). All creation is testament to lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, everyone has heard. No man is innocent simply by not being given the book.

I don't think God is limited by numbers. Afterall, television reaches massive amounts of people, so does radio and internet. Everyone on earth will have heard the Good News of Christ in the very near future.

These are exciting times we're living in!!

Jesus will come back when Israel as a nation in a time of great turmoil and under a great pressure from the world will recognize Him as the Messiah and petition Him to return.

Jesus, the son of God, gave his life the last sacrifice. His sacrifice was for you to have life eternal, and by his blood with receives our Father grace and mercy for sins, transgressions and inequities, and through his son there is no number of souls that can be saved, followers of Jesus are infinite to see the promise-land.

It isn't. People don't understand that God can and does and will,deal with the dead as well as the living. God reconciles all things unto Himself. Yes all will be saved. That is why Christ gave Himself as a ransom for ALL. That is why ALL are counted as dead in Adam,as well as all being counted Alive in Christ. He will save all,and if He did not Christ would have been a failure,and He is NOT. He came and conqured sin and death for every man woman and child and it was paid if full. He will and can save all.

Look at the graphic on this website....
www.e-sword.net . You'll see the areas in green where the E-sword program has been downloaded to. The WORD is virtually in every corner of the globe. Someone SOMEWHERE near you KNOWS THE WORD.
