You were using "every person alive [not having] had a chance to hear the gospel" as an excuse for the failure of the specific prophecy that a thousand year reign would soon come to pass. If your argument is correct, then the thousand year reign can never come to pass, because more people are always being born, and thus there will always be some who have not yet heard the gospel.

Either your excuse is not valid, or you have yourself demonstrated that the prophecy can never be fulfilled.
