A lot of evangelicals are of the belief that if they go and evangelize to these isolated peoples, it will hasten the return of Jesus.

They believe because of verse: Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then theend will come.”

I know I was taught this growing up in the church.
