“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).

Gospel (Def): (Gr.): Euaggelion from Euaggelizo: To announce good news; to bring a good message

Kingdom (Def): (Gr.): Basileia from Basileus: The foundation of power, a sovereign, royalty, rule or realm

We are familiar with the oft spoken, “the Gospel” (cf. I Peter 1:25). The Gospel is associated in many different ways, such as, “Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ” (II Thessalonians 1:18); “Gospel of the Grace of Christ” (Galatians 1:6); “Gospel of Salvation” (Ephesians 1:13); “Gospel of Peace” (Romans 10:15; 6:15) and other similar expressions of the “Euaggelion” Good News.

These expressions of the Gospel of the, “Grace of Christ, Salvation, Peace, Lord Jesus, are encompassed within the overarching rule or realm of the Kingdom of God. Grace, salvation and peace are attributes of life within the Kingdom; and therewith Christ makes His declaration that the “Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations”.

The Gospel of the Kingdom was the Gospel Christ preached as He “went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease among the people” (Matthew 4:23; cf. 9:35). The Gospel of the Kingdom is a Gospel announcing the good news, the message of a new foundation of power in the earth, a new rule, a new reign, a new sovereign of royal authority in the heavenly realm of the Spirit of God.

Indeed, as the Apostle declared: “For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost” (Romans 14:17). Therefore, the Apostle preached the Gospel of the Kingdom by proclaiming the Lord of the Realm, the King over the Kingdom, Jesus Christ (Acts 28:23,30).

The Gospel of the Kingdom signifies the fulfillment of a dispensation, a designated time given for man, and the beginning of a new dispensation, a new age, a new era under the reign of the Spirit, as the Scriptures declare:

“Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, saying, ‘The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe the Gospel'” (Mark 1:14-15).

What Gospel? The Gospel of the Kingdom. It is this Gospel that was preached by Christ, this Gospel that was given to the Apostles and was preached throughout the known world, and this Gospel that will be preached “in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come”. Given the technologies existing today to take the Gospel of the Kingdom to the ends of the earth, thus fulfilling Christ’s condition for the end to come, it is imperative that we repent, and prepare for the coming of the end.

Are you ready? Are you prepared for the end? Does that thought frighten you or excite you to shout, even so, come Lord Jesus! Maranatha! Given the fact the Gospel of the Kingdom has been preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, there should be an even greater urgency in the Body of Christ to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom in this generation. There will be a final generation, for the Lord has said the end shall come. Is the generation being born right now the final one? Will your son or daughter see the coming of the Lord? Will they witness the end? The time to prepare them is today.

The foundation of power has been laid. The reign of King Jesus has begun. The Holy Spirit has been given, has been poured out upon all flesh. The words of the prophet are fulfilled:

“I saw in the night visions and behold One like the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven and come to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom that all people, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed” (Daniel 7:13-14).

The Gospel of the Kingdom.

“But you shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
