The Commission and the End - Dispensational (Matthew 28:18-20)
Jesus said, "This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and THEN the end will come" (Matthew 24:14). The Great Commission has eschatological urgency—it's connected to Christ's return. Missionaries tracking unreached people groups estimate about 7,000 groups still without the gospel. When the last group is reached, history moves forward. Every missionary sent, every translation completed, every church planted—it's all hastening the King's return. The Commission isn't just obligation; it's eschatological acceleration.
