This is the best possible scenario. There is no better way. Never has been. Never will be.
Lord Kelvin (a physicist) once stated there was nothing new to be discovered in physics. Any future endeavors would only produce more specific measurements. After this declaration, Einstein set forth his theory of relativity.

We’re going to keep leading like this.
We’re going to keep raising support like this.

We’ve ruled out the gospel reaching the Gentiles (Acts 10, 13-14).
We’ve ruled out future gospel breakthroughs.
We’re ruled out the Spirit preventing us from entering Asia or Bithynia that He might lead us to Philippi (Acts 16:6-15).
