sign of the end of the age

[Guest man]

Has the gospel of the kingdom been preached to the whole world as a testimony?

No.

[Guest yod]

I don't think the verse is necessarily asking if every single person in every single nation has had a chance to hear the gospel presented to them. I think the gospel absolutely has gone into every nation for a testimony. It may not be the prevailing religion everywhere...and there certainly are places where they've not heard His name...but it's gone into the 4 corners of the world or it wouldn't be one of the largest "religions" on the planet.

So I say, yes it has....and we are at the end.

I hope you are right. I know i'm sure trying to make sure my lamp is full of oil. I agree with you about every single person but i would think that it has gone into every nation by now. 'And then the end will come'.

Jesus finished up a lecture with "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."

A question we should all know the answer to, and i don't. Has the gospel of the kingdom been preached to the whole world as a testimony?

Hello Fraught,

sign of the end of the age----the meaning of the word "age" means "world." As far as preaching the word in all nations, and then the end will come. Well since the ressurrection of Christ there has not been a generation yet that has been able to do it. And I do not believe they will be a generation that will do so.

I get this belief of mine from the book of Revelation that fits right in with what you are seeking I might add a few extra verses that will show you what the angels are doing at the end of the age.

Revelation 14:6,7---And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth and to every nation and kindred and tongue and people vs.7--Saying with a loud voice Fear God and give glory to him for the hour of his judgment is come and worship him that made heaven and earth and the sea and the fountains Read Matthew 24:31,32

Revelation 1:7

In the two verses above it plainly tells us that this one angel will fly in the air having the everlasting gospel to preach to all that are living on the earth every nation, kindred, tongue and people. Now you can see that this one angel has a message to proclaim, preaching the everlasting gospel and when this angel has done this to all that are living all over the world that then the gospel will be fulfilled in the verses that people are right now believing that man will be the one who will do this whenever it comes time but it will not be saints who brings this to past but an angel of the Lord and when the angel gets finished then shall the end come.

this is not too say that we shouldn't stop evangelizing because we should and have been sent forth to preach the gospel and teach the word making disciples of them. But there is nothing we can do to make the coming of the Lord take place. For it will be done supernaturally as this angel will usher it in.

Well I hope I have helped and have not been confusing.

yeah. i wasn't aware of that part and i'll look at it tomorrow. what i really want here is to know & not to speculate. if it hasn't been preached to all the nations, which nations exactly do not know of Jesus Christ? Surely, in this time, knowing all the nations, we should know which ones. Can you help with that question?

there are quite a few hundred "goyim/nations" as ethnic groups who have not heard of Him from missionary activity.

Wycliff Bible Translators could probably answer that specific question

[Rick-Parker]

I can imagine that there are regions deep within Muslim countries, in some enclaves, that they know not the salvation message. Preaching Christ in these countries is punishable by death.

yes, humans may not be able to go there but it doesn't stop the angels.

There are hundreds of accounts (if not thousands) where people in these impossible regions are being visited in their dreams. It's amazing how little God needs us...

[Rick-Parker]

So true.

Hi Fraught,

It is as Yod, and Parker1 has said, There are people who has never been visited and tribes of people that are not part of any nation who have not heard the gospel. Asia is a nation that is opposed to Christianity. But the best answer that I can give you is that if all the nations known or not known have all heard the gospel message then according to the way that people have been looking at the verse in Matthew when all nations of the earth has been heard the gospel then the end shall come but the fact that it hasn't happened yet is because the end hasn't come yet because if it was then that would be proof. God has said in his word that every tribe every nation and every tongue will all be reached as the angel goes forth.

I do realize that I am one of the few that believes differently than the most popular view that reaching all the nation is a sign of the end. I do not know if I answered you according to your expectation or not but to me it is all that the scripture shows and reveals to us that we must put our faith in and somethings never make sense but we still have to go by faith.
