Understanding How Some Christians See Global Evangelism

So, some moron lost his life trying to bring Jesus to a tiny island off India. Why? Because he was engaged in the Great Commission. Here's Matthew 24: 18.

"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."


That verse is taken to mean that Jesus won't return and bring on the Dominion of God on Earth until everyone is reached with the Gospel. There are very few groups of humans who haven't heard that message, and there is a huge push to finish the job so the Rapture can occur and God's Kingdom gets established.

Here's a link to a website that lays it all out:

Now, not all Christians are Hell bent for leather to get this done, but there are a number of groups that are totally dedicated to completing the Great Commission and getting Jesus back here to destroy everyone who is not a believer. For those groups, the Bible isn't a metaphor for something. It's literal for them. They believe every last freaking word in it. They want non-Christians to be gone, so they can have the planet (and Heaven) for themselves.

They're serious. They're dangerous. They care about nothing else. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Right now, we're seeing a takeover of the US Government by Dominionist Christian factions. Mike Pence, for example. It's all part of the plan.

So, that young man was killed by arrows shot into his body by one of the last human groups to have successfully avoided being evangelized. How many such groups are there? I don't know. The quest is on, though. As such groups would say:

Come Soon Jesus!

Pay attention, folks.
