Someone mentioned the Internet. I think the Internet will be key in many people discovering/coming to know Christ. Still, about 2 BN people doesn't have access to the Internet/Christian Videos etc. But in about 10 years, they will.
Mat 24:14 says the Gospel will be preached to all nations before the end comes. Soon enough, all will have no excuse imo.
Let's keep praying/working/evangelizing and sharing the Gospel of Christ, and the Love of God, and we can leave the rest to Him imo.
"According to Statista, "In 2019, the number of internet users worldwide was 3.97 billion, up from 3.74 billion in the previous year."
[2] In 2005, only about 1.1 billion people used the internet. That means there has been drastic and extraordinary growth in internet usage in the last 15 or so years, since it has more than tripled since then ...
The increasing number of web users offers vast potential for
Internet evangelism.
"Looking ahead, Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that there will be 6 billion Internet users by 2022 (75 percent of the projected world population of 8 billion) — and more than 7.5 billion Internet users by 2030 (90 percent of the projected world population of 8.5 billion, 6 years of age and older)."

God Bless.
what if Jesus preaches the gospel to those who die before they heard it ? And that’s one of the reasons he died ?
“For Christ also hath once
suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but
quickened by the Spirit: by which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; which sometime were
disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited
in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.”
1 Peter 3:18-20 KJV
maybe even those who had died before as far back as Noah’s flood have heard the gospel in death because Jesus lives and died and rose again.
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For
whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
For
to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for
we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.”
Romans 14:7-10 KJV
“Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself .
Marvel not at this: for
the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”
John 5:28-29 KJV
“and
the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”
Matthew 27:52-53 KJV
We can not limit salvation by death anymore while someone maybe doesn’t hear the gospel in this world why would we then assume God could never reach them in death to preach the gospel to them by his spirit ? He of course can people are dead To us maybe by the flesh we see but not to God by the spirit all live to him
“Now that
the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of
Abraham, and the God of
Isaac, and the God of
Jacob. For
he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.”
Luke 20:37-38
Moses and Elijah both died hundreds and hundreds of years before by the flesh but then Jesus came
“Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead
, yet shall he live:
and
whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall
never die. Believest thou this?”
John 11:25-26 KJV
this is well after they both died by the flesh
“And,
behold, there
appeared unto them
Moses and Elijah talking with him.”
Matthew 17:3 KJV
Just like those who rose from the grave after Jesus did they are alive by the spirit having heard and believed the gospel like Abraham did , Isaac did and Jacob did who all are alive by the same spirit which raised those saints up from the dead to e same spirit that preached the gospel to those who died in Noah’s time after Jesus died and was quickened by the spirit
all I mean is God can reach people with the gospel even if they die before they hear it like all those examples
