The Church Will Not Evangelise the World

It is not God's intention for the Church to be the instrument to complete the evangelisation of the world. Matthew 28:19-20 merely says that the Church is to disciple the elect who are saved. With all the goodwill of the missions societies and organisations since the days of William Carey, the "father of missions" till our day, the success of all missionary efforts have been miniscule. Even if we include the millions saved in China and the Asia-Pacific and in Africa and South America, the genuine converts in the Church today still number relatively few. Many of the conversion statistics of Billy Graham crusades and other crusades are just statistics, meaning that few have survived the post-hype crash. The Laodicean church of ours remains neither cold nor hot, just tepidly lukewarm and just too pre-occupied with the daily grind of life. It will shock you to learn that God's real instrument for the conversion of the world will be the nation of Israel. Of course it will be a revived Israel of the End Times, according to Romans 11, when the original olive-root (Israel) will flourish once again. More on the subject later.
