The final prophecies had not yet been fulfilled. Only in THIS generation, has the very final prophecies come into fruition. The Gospel has reached almost all of the earth. Jesus said:
"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached into all the world, as a witness unto the nations, and THEN the end shall come."
Pretty bold statement, don't ya think? He said it with AUTHORITY. He never said "might" be preached. Or "could" be preached. Or "should" be preached.

All of the groundwork has been laid for another end times prophecy, known as "The Mark of the Beast". Only in OUR generation has this even become POSSIBLE. Not only possible, but INEVITABLE.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45378592 Who is going to bother submitting to such a thing if goods are all supposed to be too expensive to afford?
"Colossians 1:23 says this already occurred."
No... It doesn't. You're a deceiver.
And Jesus gave that (gospel will be preached into all the world) comment to His disciples, when asked "What will be the sign of thy coming, and the END of the age?"
"Who is going to bother submitting to such a thing if goods are all supposed to be too expensive to afford?"
Somehow, you seem to think that Satan is stupid. He's been setting us up for his final masterpiece of deception for CENTURIES.
In the coming new monetary system, you are either going to take the mark, in order to buy and sell, of you are not going to buy and sell. And seeing as resources are going to be more restricted and limited, people are going to be flocking in droves, to take the mark. I have absolute ZERO doubt, that you will be amongst them.
Taking the mark will be a divorce from God. Those who refuse the mark will eventually be hunted like animals, and they will have to depend on God for everything. Their safety and their sustenance.
End of story.
