Dear Petro,
While I share your entusiasm for the effects of the enternet, I'm affraid only a small minority of the human family actually has the material resources to access it. On the other hand, radio reaches the vast majority of humanity and has for many years, yet I question if the "good news of the Kindgom" is penetrating 100%. I realize this too would qualify for what Sours would label a "legalistic" rendering of the concept. I think he was right that no one intrepretation is fully satisfactory. If you read what Friend replied, you will see a rationale for ONLY a global perspective, however, in the argument, global had different meanings at different times in history. Obviously Paul was a "globalist" yet we know news of Jesus coming was not carried to the west for hundreds of years.
Thanks for raising the question. You may be interested in Sours other comentaries on the rest of the Olivet Discourse. I think it is available at Barnes and Noble.
cheers,
