Well.... I was talking to a guy at work last Thursday.. just a guy I see outside during breaks.. nice guy. Came in to work this morning to learn he had died on Friday. He had just turned 56 years old.
I'm just going to keep on living as best I can, to be a good witness to others about our Savior... because with all the cussing and discussing about when this event is going to happen, or that event, or what "time" we're in, truth is, the end could come tonight, for any one of us..
I do admire those that study eschatology, and think that they have it figured out, but I'm more concerned with "now".

I believe we are in the birth pangs.. not the time of judgment.
I believe we are, and have been in the last days since the time of Christ. The final gentile ruler is all that needs to come.. We were already under rome in Christ day.. All rome has to do is regain power..
as for people groups.. There are only a few left if we call then specific nations. If we call them specific people (Africa has many people groups. but itself is a people group) then their are more, Bit we are still close.. and get closer every year (exponentially closer)

At the stoning of Stephen, when he saw Christ stand up, that was, coulda woulda, should have been the beginning of the end and the second coming... but our Father did something. He suspended the prophecy program and ushered in a dispensational change. Today, God is not dealing with nations or the gospel of the kingdom. Today, God is working to fill a particular realm, with a new creature. This is why Christ appeared to Saul, And, this is why the Lord will catch away the church the body of Christ to an appointed judgment seat, for the one new man.

The stoning of Stephen? That was not even n the prophetic scale.. Jesus death put an end to the old and brought on the new (after 62 weeks messiah the prince will be cut off)
All this was fortold what the sign will be, the abomination which causes desolation.. After which there will be great tribulation, then the return of Christ.

The gospel of the kingdom has not yet been preached, however, the gospel of the death, burial and resurrection has.
Romans 16:24-25, "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:"
Colossians 1:5-6, "For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:"
Colossians 1:23, "If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;"

Because not all of Israel accepted Him.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under*her*wings, but you were not willing!*38*See! Your house is left to you desolate;*39*for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is*He who comes in the name of the*Lord!
*Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”*7*And He said to them,*“It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.*8*But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
