Question:
Do the words of our Lord in Matt. 10:23 also refer to the missionaries of this age and that their work will not have extended to every city when the Lord shall have come?
Answer:
The text reads: “But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.” Couple with this text, Luke 10:1. The instruction refers to that time, but the principle is also true: when God gives a special warning or message to any age, the generation called to give that special message finishes it. That will be true with the message of Rev. 14:6-14. The Son of Man will come when God’s people finish their work. But the warning will be given first.
