Many 'missionary' minded people have perverted this thought and has led them to believe that mans goal is to do this before Christ returns. They will tramp all over God's creation, every nook and cranny and check off people groups or tongues and say, there is one more down. They believe they are called but are not called at all. Christ never knew them. They hawk Christ as a vendor hawks peanuts at a ballgame. We must never forget that some die without ever hearing of Christ. That is His electing love alone. Some are left in darkness others are not. So it is every tribe, tongu, and nation that God has so desired to bring His elect out of paganism and the rest are left. This design is not to be taken as one is more important that the other. That something lies within the group to hear the good news. It must humble us in front of the Lord and praise Him all the more.
