This
gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and
then shall the end come
." Matthew 24:14.
Before the
fall of Jerusalem
,
Paul
, writing by the
Holy Spirit
, declared that the
gospel
was preached to "every creature which is under heaven." Col. 1:23. So now, before the coming of the
Son of man
, the everlasting gospel is to be preached "to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people." Rev. 14:6, 14. God "hath appointed a day, in the which He will
judge the world
." Acts 17:31.
Christ
tells us when that day shall be ushered in. He does not say that all the world will be converted, but that "this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
The great, solemn,
last warning message
of Christ's
second coming
is now being presented in more than 900 languages and dialects. More than 95% percent of the world's population has access to this message. Before Jesus' second coming, every person in the world will be warned of His soon return. People will be lost if they reject the
warning message
.
"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, 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 of waters.
And there followed another angel, saying,
Babylon
is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication
.
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man
worship the beast
and his image, and receive his
mark in his forehead
, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the
wine
of the
wrath of God
, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his
indignation
; and he shall be tormented with
fire and brimstone
in the presence of the
holy angels
, and in the presence of
The Lamb
: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of
the saints
: here are they that keep the
commandments of God
, and the
faith of Jesus
." Revelation 14:6-12
Today this
prophecy
is being fulfilled by the same means as in Paul's day, however the messages are also going out via the powerful technologies of radio, television, and the internet. The Christian television network '
' is dedicated to proclaiming these final warning messages.
