so I've got a friend who has a background in engineering and uh I I greatly appreciate the thoughts that he shares with me because of his perspective on things um if you don't know any Engineers they tend to be very precise people that's it's laughable that programmers tend to call themselves software Engineers um having done that professionally I have found that it transfers very poorly to actual engineering um you can't build a chicken Co six times or just refactor a wall uh although that is my approach to construction and uh it's I always use screws instead of nails so that I could take them out and redo it anyway um Engineers have to do things like design a a skyscraper with 1 mm precision and so they they're very meticulous people typically or they don't last very long as engineers and uh he sent me I think he has shared this with me more than once he's he's calculated the ratio the percent of of people in the world who have watched uh one of my videos or read one of my books and um he he uses that as a launch point for the the the question uh of how we are going to communicate the gospel to the world not that this is one for one that my you know some book I wrote or some video I made is the gospel but he's using this as a um I guess a measurable microcosm of the bigger picture and I've been holding off for a very long time answering um that series of of questions that he's asked me and I'd like to just um extemporaneously answer that at this time uh with the caveat that I will be diving much much deeper into this in books uh which haven't been published yet so what does it take to consider that what what does a person need to experience in order for the gospel to have been preached to them what checks the Box in briefest terms we all have access to light from God it is something that we're given at Birth and it is actually it's so intertwined with our being that it is the actual source of our physical lives and so while we're here living so we we have access to this through birth and we continue to have access to it until we die while we are alive we have the capacity to see and respond to God's light that's not used very often by many people maybe it's best to answer this question by rephrasing it what will it take for each person or for a person to respond to the process of the day of judgment by declaring that God's ways are just and that he did absolutely everything he could for that individual to receive as much as they desired that's an important restructuring of the question now let's couple to this our knowledge that light and Truth is successive it's sequential it's Progressive and so it's like a ladder where you can't skip rungs now it's not two-dimensional like that but let's not get it overly complicated we have filaments of light that we can follow in life we all have access to them we all have access to the next increment of light and truth it's essential to understand this and once you do the answer to my friend's question drops out readily but until you do you'll never figure it out and you'll you'll incorrectly expect that in the end times there has to be some Army of missionaries going out and rehearsing some canned message that is quote unquote the fullness of the Gospel that's not going to happen better said it doesn't need to happen so let's keep going here so you can think of this as a ladder where you can't skip rungs question is where are you on it and actually that doesn't even matter because wherever you are the real question is what's the next rung and an even better question than that is do you already have access to it of the seven plus billion people on the planet right now how many people are living up to all of the the light that they presently have if you are not living up to all the light that you presently have meaning you're not doing the best that you know in all things you do not require any additional light and Truth in order for you to Proclaim in the day of judgment that God's judgment is just and that you deserve to go to hell this is very important to understand you don't need anything else if you were to die today in your sins you'd go to hell and in the day of judgment you would confess to God that his judgment is just because he sent you everything you needed to have more than you did to be better than you were and you rejected it how many of the 7 billion people did we just knock off the list of people that need anything more than what they have preaching the gospel to every Kindred Nation tongue and people does not require preaching the gospel to every single person on the planet in fact that particular phrase has to do with something related but different which is being able to meet people where they stand in the language that they know not just Spanish French the much broader understanding of what language is uh someone's understanding their culture the set of ideas that they know are familiar with what is needed and who needs it the only people that need more than what they have are those who are living up to everything they have now does God send Messengers to people to free them from the chains with which with with which they're bound yes he does all the time are they forced to be free no the Messenger will come with the key he'll set the key with Within Reach of the prisoner The Prisoner doesn't have to grab it and unlock the chain and it can't be done for them that isn't part of what we're talking about what is needed is needed by very few and who are they the scriptures talk about these people they are the few people who are already doing the best that they know the bar is very high now what sorts of things are required by those sorts of people those sorts of people who are called housetops in the scriptures the gospel will be preached on the tops of mountains or to the housetops it won't be preached quote unquote in the streets or in common that's not to say that the message isn't broadcast to the world it's just that the world will not receive it because they won't see it is valuable in fact they will see very little not just in the message but in the in the messengers and the people who preach the message the common people will be the last people in the world that you would expect to find Value in these things now if if you're paying attention at all you see already that there are vast differences in reactions among people to the same information responses differ wildly to the same information and I see this every day not just with the materials that I publish but all across the world with all sorts of sources of value there is a huge disparity among people in how they perceive receive value live and give those things so many people are expecting that some globally obvious globally organized gospel teaching has to occur before the Lord returns that's not true there are other scriptures that indicate that as these things occur very few people will even be aware and what this should do and the reason I'm sharing this is to inform greater urgency on your part if there are things in your life that aren't right with God I'm hoping that this understanding that I'm sharing with you accelerates your repentance increases the urgency that you feel to get right with God because until you're living up to what you already have access to not only do you not have this uh extra time because you say well I don't see any Global movement of gospel preaching I'm good I don't have to hurry at all not only is that not true but in the event that this sort of thing is already happening and it is you probably won't even notice and you've it's very unlikely that you'll value it even if you do notice the sifting has already begun the light is flowing and it's flowing from and across the mountaintops from and across the tops of the house houses the housetops this is already underway and if you want to make use of it and to see it for what it really is you need to get your life right with God and so I encourage you emphatically to fix the things that are out of order in your life and rededicate yourself to God because his hand is working right now and whether that's true or not if and when these things happen and they are promised to occur again and again throughout the scriptures you will only notice them and take advantage of them and value them if you are right with God as far as you already know everything that's coming is going to be EXT extra different new it doesn't mean that it won't be defensible through appeal to the Scriptures it just means that it will be new to you someone will open the scriptures and read something and say this is what this means you'll say oh my goodness i' never thought about that before it all makes sense now but those things they lie Beyond you until you climb up the rungs that you already have access to so please do that it's urgent and uh it's important
