The GREAT COMMISSION Has Been Fulfilled !!!

How Can We Tell that the Great Commission is Fulfilled ??
Christ said the Great Commission must be fulfilled,"and then will the End come" (Matthew 24.14).
Meaning that then will the End time "generation" begin that Christ spoke of (Luke 21.32).
Why should we bother to care about this End Time "generation" ??
Because at the end of it the "signs in the heavens"
that Christ predicted will take place(Luke 21.25; Matthew 24.29).
They are actually different aspects of nuclear war, so those "signs" are extremely important.  
Nuclear war is how the Antichrist takes over the world (Revelation 13.7).
His reign of terror is called the Tribulation Period.
  
I told a friend that the Trib will begin very soon.
He replied that "I think you're wrong about the Trib starting in the immediate future.
Because Christ said the Great Commission will be fulfilled first, and only then wiil the End come
, including the Tribulation Period."
Then he explained his view that the Great Commission is not at all completed yet.
And therefore the End tiume may be way off into the future.
 I was shocked, for i had thought that him and me were "on the same page."
Boy, was i wrong about that !!
He thinks that every little tribe of Indians in South America must be reached by Christian missionaries
and their language must be learned by the missionaries so that
the Bible can be translated into each of those Indian dialects.
 Speaking of little tribes of Indians, my church supports 2 missionaries who have lived among
a group of 500 indians in Venezuela which has grown to 2,000 over the last 30 years.
The Bible in their own tongue is partly done so far. My friend says there are dozens of such Indian tribes
to be considered in estimating just when the Great Commission will be completed.
  
Wrong wrong, wrong.
Nothing could be further from the truth !!
Let me answer that fellow's objection (to my claim that the Trib is at hand, meaning that Russian Attack is coming this year - 2018).
 Christ clearly states that  "the kingdom" will not be "restored to Israel" before the Great Commission is fulfilled.
I mean the disciples ask Christ, "Will you now restore the kingdom to Israel?"
He replies, "...You must [first] be my witnesses to the ends of the Earth" (Acts 1.6-8).
Only then will Israel return as a sovereign nation.
  
But what this really means is that the return of Israel in 1948 serves as a way for us to KNOW that the Great Commission has already been fulfilled -- enuff for the End Time generation to begin !!!.
 Yet the "generation" that Christ talked about (Luke 21.32), actually there's two of them, began with that restoration of literal Jewish Israel.
How long will this generation last?
Well Hal Lindsey etc thought 40 years based on the precedent of the first generation covered by "this generation", ie, AD 30 to AD 70,
covering from the death of Christ to the "death" of the nation.
Next came 50 years, then 60 years.
But now we can go with "70 years" based on Psalms 90.10.
Instead of death..death, this present generation will be marked by return and return.
Namely the return of Israel followed by the (brief) Reappearing of Christ.
I'm expecting a repeat of Acts 9.3.but on a much larger scale.
Describing it, Zechariah 14.7 says, "at night there will be light!"

But before Christ comes at "the Second Coming," He comes at the Rapture,
(Seen only by those dying at that time.)
And the Rapture comes as nuclear war is launched by Gorbachev,
Which makes him forever known as the Destroyer ("the Son of Destruction" 2 Thessalonians 2.3).
The "sudden destruction"(1 Thess. 4.16-5.3) at the Rapture is what "reveals" the Destroyer as such.
For he is the one who presses the button.

HOW CAN WE TELL WHEN CHRIST WILL COME AT THE RAPTURE,  AND THEN AT THE SECOND COMING??!!
The 3 rituals at Yom Kippur (Leviticus 16) go with the 3 feast times listed in the Torah Law (Deuteronomy 16.16).
Since the first of the rituals was fulfilled right at the time of the first feast,Passover, (AD 30),
We can be confident that THE SECOND RITUAL WILL BE FULFILLED AT THE TIME OF THE SECOND FEAST- PENTECOST.
Since this second ritual symbolizes the Rapture the message is plain: the Rapture falls on Pentecost (of some year).
Now on to the Third Ritual, it should fall
right on the THIRD Feast- Tabernacles.

Since the time of the Rapture is when the Antichrist (old man Gorbachev) launches NUCLEAR WAR and takes over the world,
THAT=the start of the Tribulation.
For he will terrorize the world.
But Christ should come at Tabernacles (= mid October) for that is the meaning of the Third Ritual(Lev.16.10,21).
The scapegoat is a goat of sin in that the High Priest puts both hands on its head, transferring iniquity of Israel to the goat.
Which is then driven off into the wilderness(verse 22).
This represents Christ driving off (defeating) the invasion of Israel by the Russians, led by "the Man of Sin"(2 Thessalonians 2.3).

Since the second and third feast times are only 5 months apart, does this mean that the TRIB will only last for 5 months.
YES,YES,YES!!!
Confirmation comes in Revelation 9.5, 10 which gives "5 months" as the duration of the occupying of Western Europe by Russian tanks ("locusts of iron" that "make the sound of war chariots running to battle"(Rev.9.9).
