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. Mat 24:14 Was this prophecy fulfilled?? Most would say no, but if they read Col 1:23 they will be forced to change their mind.
So what you are trying to say is this verse has been fulfilled...
14 "And this
gospel of the kingdom will be preached in
all the world as a witness to
all the nations, and
then the end will come. Matthew 24:14
Rlsmith,
Thanks for your comments... lets examine this verse.
You are saying the Gospel was preached in all the world by A.D. 70? Does this include China, India, Africa, Germany? I dont think that was the case by any means. You are trying to make the scripture fit something which does not exist. The Gospel of the Kingdom is the work of Jesus Christ on the Cross, there is no record of the Gospel reaching anywhere these nations by this time
The Gospel of the Kingdom....
This point is verified by two statement... ALL THE WORLD.... ALL THE NATIONS... This is a double verification to make clear the subject is the WHOLE WORLD..
Preached in all the world
all the nations...THEN the END WILL COME..
The END means the END of What? The End of this age, that is what the subject. So did the WORLD see Jesus return
29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man
will appear in heaven, and then
all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will
see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory. Matthew 24:29-30So did ALL the Tribes of the Earth Mourn in A.D. 70?
Did the Son of Man come on the Clouds?
Did He already come with power and Great glory?
The END TIMES referred to the MOSAIC age which ended in 70ad.
Again, this is not what the END TIMES is.... Jesus is answering the questions poised
3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the
sign of Your coming, and of
the end of the age?" Matthew 24:3
You are inserting your own meaning and ignoring the text. Jesus is referring to His SECOND COMING... not His FIRST COMING... he was already there, talking with the disciples. This is not talking about the Mosaic age..
Death reigned from ADAM to MOSES (Rom 5:14) If the END TIMES is now or in the future, then DEATH is still reigning.
This verse refers to Jesus victory over death, The resurrection has not happened yet, that happens at the END OF THE AGE...
MY MESSIAH destroyed the works of the DEVIL(ADAM) in 70ad when the great tribulation was poured out on HIS enemies.
Ohh so there has been no sin since AD 70? What with all the evil in the world?
Unless you believe that I AM HE ye shall die in your sins" John 8:24. MY MESSIAH is HE who confirmed THE COVENANT with MANY for 1 week, when HE shed his precious blood to pay for my sins. If anyone believes he is the antichrist, then HE shall die his sins.
If you read, the context of Daniel 9:27 is to Daniel's people THE JEWS and Daniel's city Jerusalem... At the end of the 70th Week, vs. 24 refers to the fulfillment the requirements in verse 24 for the Jews.
