We delve into the mechanics of EVERYTHING here on the PB, to include the decrees of God. Why not the mechanics of missions?


It appears as if SOME deductions CAN be reached.



For instance, if you had 10 elders from your home church and they felt as if they were called to either Atlanta, GA or Saudi Arabia and had the means to go either place and left it up to your church to decide, it seems logical that the priority would be one place over the other.

This issue is important as far as prioritizing where to go next or sink limited resources into. If only 50 workers are available and there are means to send them anywhere in the world, where do they go to best serve world evangelism? One method for prioritization is by filling the "most needy" people groups and different formulas of need have been attempted.


Also,
If Rev 5 does say thou was slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood men of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation."


Then it is not a very full salvation it seems if some from every tongue, tribe and nation are not included under that throne. Christ, then, did not, in fact, purchase some from every tongue, tribe and nation but only merely purchased some from some tribes and some tingues and some nations.


What is a tongue, tribe and nation? Do we draw it from the Genesis Table of Nations? If so, Acts 2 seems to be a fulfillment, because all nations were included in Acts 2.


But Paul, who speaks of the whole world knowing of the Gospel, still tried to go to Spain and name Christ where He was not yet named....what's with that?
