Preached in all the world- the gospel of the kingdom

Preaching the gospel of the kingdom.

Mat 24:14  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.

Mar 16:15  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mar 16:16  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Truth.

Jesus preached the gospel of the kingdom.
Jesus taught His disciples to preach the gospel of the kingdom.

IF the gospel of the kingdom is to be preached until the end of the world is close then would there ever come a time the preaching should stop?

We can't know the day nor the hour, but we can know the end is close by watching the signs Jesus has given to us.

There are signs to watch-

Rev 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Rev 13:12  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 13:13  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 13:15  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Signs!

Cryptic signs, signs crouched in symbolism, signs that need interpreting, signs that call us to study deeply. 

We know these THINGS must come to pass. 

We can watch for these things, we can keep our eyes on the world and all that is happening in the world and we can pray, in this we can see the end of the world coming, we can know to be ready. 

The gospel has been preached in all the world. We know it has. Everywhere people have gone the gospel has gone with them. People might say there is a remote village somewhere that hasn't and we're just waiting for them to hear the gospel.  I personally don't believe it. I believe with our technology and our ability to go to everywhere in the world that the gospel has been preached.  We will never stop witnessing of Christ, never. Our lives are a witness. We live Christ if we have the gospel in our lives. If we live the truth Christ gives to us then we are witnesses to the gospel of the kingdom. What is the hope in us?

Col_1:27  To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory

Christ in US the hope of glory!

The gospel is being preached, the truth is being preached, the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God is being preached it is, and will be preached right up until the end of the world.

The kingdom of God is Christ crucified, it is Christ risen, it is Christ forgiving us, it is Christ's righteousness, it is CHRIST in us now and FOREVER.

Please, Lord, let us live with You in us!
Lord, let us live with YOU as a part of our lives so that You will never be separate from us. We would be with you ALWAYS. Please LORD, please let us be YOURS now and forever, now and in the kingdom!

In Your love!
