Has the Gospel reached and been preached to all Nations?

Has the Gospel reached and been preached to all Nations?

No.

What peoples still needs to be reached in your opinion?

 

[Hobie]

The Gospel is still going forth, Hobie.

At the appointed time, when all of God's elect are called ( the fullness of the Gentiles is come in ) and God's wrath comes upon the nations, the end will come.
The Lord Jesus will return.

I do not, as there are some peoples and languages that I don't see as being reached quite yet.

But IMO, we are close...
Perhaps only a matter of days, weeks, years or even yet a few decades.

For example, the third temple has yet to be built.
Anti-Christ has yet to be revealed ( that didn't happen in 70 A.D., but the destruction of the second temple did ).
The False Prophet has yet to force people under threat of death to take the "Beast's" mark.
Society has yet to completely break down under the strain of God's constant plagues, earthquakes, stars falling from the sky and so forth.

The Lord Jesus will come again and rule from His father David's seat of power at Jerusalem for 1000 years,
and His saints will rule and reign with Him ( Revelation 20:4-6 ).

Do this, go to the most remote part of the planet and see if technology has not reached there, it may surprise you.

Other than that one island that has killed anyone attempting to contact them, I am ignorant of the specifics.

However, what I know for certain is that “One Hope” is a para-church ministry with a mission to deliver the Gospel to every child in the world and they will not have reached every group until about 2030. I also know that those people that they work with that are translating the Bible into every language have not completed their work either.

Therefore, the word of God is not available for everyone to hear and understand. The Good News has not reached every people group.

There are some ethnic Muslims living in western China that are just being reached with the Gospel within the last 10 years. People have been learning their isolated dialect, translating the Bible and living among the communities. Some communities have heard a little, but many more have heard nothing at all. Is it unreasonable to expect God to tarry until His word has reached those that He has chosen for Himself in those remote villages?

Respectfully,

It may surprise you that it hasn't even in the post-modern world in which we currently live.
For example, there are still places in the world where few, if any, people have been allowed to go or where contact has ever been made.

Uncontacted peoples

Hobie, just because satellites encompass the globe does not mean everywhere a radio or television signal goes,
that there are people who have the equipment ( or the desire ) to receive it.

Sometimes going in on foot is the only way to reach some of these tribes and other groups.

Here they are:

Culturally descended from Turkish Muslims, living as an oppressed ethnic minority in the remote mountains of China.

What do you think if it goes to some remote corners of the world and the people there reject it.

God can reach people in ways we don't even think about and with media/communication other than radio or television, so cant just stop there.

I agree.
He sends preachers as Romans 10 states.

If an entire “nation, tribe or tongue” rejects it, then God was wrong in Revelation when he claimed to save people from EVERY “nation, tribe and tongue”.

So my money says that will not happen.

Very true, and he also sends His angels..


2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. (Acts 10:2-4)
