There's a big flaw in that distorting Christ's direction to his
disciples into a prophecy. There was quite a lot of the population
(i.e., creation) that has already died and passed on before without
having heard about Christ. He is directing them to form the Church
to spread the Gospel, not predicting the end of the world as a
consequence of that directive.

The native tribes aren't hiding. That's where they make their
subsistence living. It's the missionaries and the loggers who are
appropriating resources that these peoples depend upon. It's no
different from what the US public did to the American Indians;
everytime they wanted land for gold speculation, ranching, farming,
etc., they would direct the government to seize the land.
