With all due respect, although the scripture you quoted is the word of God, I don't really think you can say for certain about "before this decade is out."

People make predictions, nothing happens (or at least THE END doesn't happen), and everyone continues to party and when people quote scripture about the end times everyone says "Yeah, Yeah, We've heard it all before".

> ...Before this decade is out, everyone on this planet will have made a FINAL decision in accepting or rejecting Christ's salvation.

Matthew 24
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

You are so right no one can predict a timeline because it is God's plan not our own.
