understand how people view the world as that time Jesus was on earth.

1. The fastest means of transportation back then was horse, donkey or camel : meaning, there was a certain limited distance one could cover
2. Because men could not travel far, they tend to believe that the world ends at their immediate environment they can see. That means, for instance, the Jews living in that area of the ancient Israel in those days will never in their wildest imagination believe that continents like Africa, Asia, America, Australia, etc exist because there was no possible means they could travel far.

So when Jesus mentioned the world in that scripture he was referring to the standpoint of the coverage of their view based on the distance men could travel, he was not referring to the world in total.

To that note : Jesus and his disciples travelled from one city to another preaching the gospel of the kingdom, they started from Galilee preaching and were traveling to Jerusalem by foot, it was like traveling from Ibadan to Lagos by foot(based on the map).
That distance was enough for Jesus to say the gospel of the kingdom must be preached to all the earth because to them, that distance was all the earth.

After the gospel of the kingdom was preached by Jesus and his disciples who covered that little distance referred to as all the earth, Jesus was crucified at Jerusalem, that crucifixion was the end.
That crucifixion was what Jesus meant by saying then shall the end come.

You need to give your life to Jesus Christ before it is too late.

Yes

Sounds good but are there no places in those Countries you mentioned where the Gospel has not been preached at all?Or is it right to say for example all cities,town and villages in Saudi Arabia have heard about the Gospel?

paxonel:
ok,
However you are seeing it, it still did not dispute the fact that most people in Israel as at the time Jesus was explaining to his disciples in Matthew 24 never travelled wide, so there is possibility that most of them at some point believed that the whole earth was limited to their vicinity. And if you really look at what happened you will see that the gospel of the kingdom was preached within that vicinity by Jesus and his disciples before he was crucified right?
That tells you that everything spoken by Jesus in Matthew 24 happened within that area at that particular time.

Acts 1:8..But you shall receive the power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth
That was after his resuration when he was about going back to heaven

mansakhalifa:
Op, be specific. Countries or "places" Which exactly do you mean? 'cause I really want to help you.

Well, talking about "places", try the Sentinelese of the North Sentinel Island in India. One of the least touched places on Earth despite the fact that it is not so remote when compared to other more distant parts of the Earth.

The gospel has never been preached there. And I heard the folks there are quite warm and friendly.


Another place should be Antarctica. Imagine preaching in a whole new continent.

Then, next you can try the unreached tribes deep in the recesses of the Amazon forest.

So, what's the plan, OP?

Says who? People that kill anybody who try to come near them. Even when you give them gifts (coconut their favorite), they still kill you and take the gifts away. A missionary went there only for his corpse to be found close to the beach.

The Gospel has Gone Allover the Earth



Don't DECIEVE yourself! There is no Continent or Nation that does not have Gospel of JESUS CHRIST!

Have you heard of North sentinel island. The locals there are said to be very aggressive to outsiders. Some people that wandered to close to the island were instantly killed. That place remains largely untouched by civilization and external influence. What do you say about this?

paxonel:
Paul even travel to as far as Italy it is mentioned in the bible. Infact he would have taken the gospel message to Asia if not for the intervention of the Holy spirit. But that do not dispute the fact that most Israelites as at that time Jesus was talking to them in Matthew 24 could not imagine that the earth was that vast, that's why Jesus restricted his view of the earth in that scripture to just mere Judea and Samaria and not necessarily the whole earth to their understanding

they know the Earth is vast. remember the Israelites came from Egypt (Africa)

Israel also have history of trade with Africa and the rest of the world during the days of Solomon. Solomon even built fleet of international ships for trade.

even before leaving Earth, Jesus repeated something similar to same people;

Acts . 1. [8] But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

the bolded shows they know Judaea, Jerusalem and Samaria are different from other part of the Earth.

if you read Matthew 24 clearly, you will understand that Jesus is not just talking about an immediate action.
he was talking about signs and happenings towards the end of the world and preaching all over the Earth happens to be one of the signs

Where and where in this planet earth have you gone to?

Because you have churches littered on your streets doesn't mean its the same in Asia, North America, Antarctica and even in remote Africa.

Mark you, he never said , where churches are established. He never even said, where Christ is accepted. He only said , where the message of the Gospel has sounded! I put it to you that the Gospel has now sounded in every nation for a witness for or against them! Whether by word of mouth or by print or electronic or internet, every soul on earth has received the witness of the Gospel of Christ. There is therefore no excuse for any soul , as all have received the Voice of God through personal Conscience and Gospel. The conditions for the END are fully fulfilled.

There must be places where people have not heard the Gospel, definitely, there should be.

I have no clue about these places.

This is an assignment for all Christians.

Relax brother.
You are not God's PA. I can tell you boldly that the root of the gospel in Nigeria cannot be compare to the strength of the gospel in the days of the Apostle.
How then would you compare to nations who are yet to know the person of Jesus.

Don't forget that the nation called Israel today do not believe in Jesus Christ. But bible said, that Israel will be recognize Christ as the saviour of the world. When is this?

Also, be reminded that God is not interested in seeing people go to hell, so he can enlongate the days to save men.
A thousand years is like a day in his sight and if we have spent 2k years after Christ death, it implies that only two days left the calendar of God.

Peter the Apostle reached the second coming of Christ, he died many years ago, Christ did not come.

What am I saying, do not get bothered with Christ' second coming, its in the hand of the father. Rather be glad that you have received salvation and work towards shining the light on Earth.

Happy Sunday.

No. As concerning what Jesus was saying matt 24 has been fulfilled.

In matt 24:34 he was referring to a particular generation. Which has been fulfilled in the destruction on Jerusalem in 70 AD.


Nothing to fear it has happened. Just keep preaching.

200 people is hardly a village.. the Sentinelese tribe is estimated to be 20 people or lesser even.. some say 50 others say 100. So they can’t be brought up here. The gospel is in India

The verses even confirmed the more that Jesus was referring to his crucifixion as the end time.
I have established that the disciples themselves were limited in understanding.
For instance they had thought that the moment their journey with Jesus to Jerusalem ends, the world will end and the kingdom of God will come down immediately from heaven physically.(Luke 19:11).
That was the basis of understanding that spurn them to ask Jesus that question Matthew 24:3 "what will be the signs of thy coming and end of world" ?
Infact, Peter and the two sons of Zebedee(James and John) began to fight among themselves who among them will rule that kingdom because they thought the world was about to come to an end very soon.
And really, it has been preached before that time by John the Baptist that the kingdom of God was at hand(meaning it was near), which made them thought the more that heaven will fall down on that day of his crucifiion.
So, everything Christ told them in that Matthew 24 happened that very moment

Taku555:
That's your view anyway but look at it in this way too. If Jesus was referring to his crucification as the end time, those verses from Math 24 Vs 1 to 13 would not have been said. Read the beginning of the chapter to verse 13 and come back to justify your view.

And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Matthew 24:1-13

how will he read a book written in the Hebrew language if he didn't speak the Hebrew language?

And if you really look at what happened you will see that the gospel of the kingdom was preached within that vicinity by Jesus and his disciples before he was crucified right?
That tells you that everything spoken by Jesus in Matthew 24 happened within that area at that particular time.

Remember that during Jesus' time Israel was ruled by the Roman empire which virtually everyone during his time knew stretched from Europe in the west to Asia and Israel in the east and down to Africa in the south.
First, remember that Israel and Jerusalem were occupied by romans who had legions and citizens in Jerusalem. These people no doubt would have told the Jews about their cities in Rome and all the other Roman territories they had been to. Its like you never been to Ghana before but you have friends, relatives and even Ghanaians who live around you that have visited Ghana before. These people will certainly gist you about Ghana and describe wonderful cities in Ghana to you. By that, you will now know that a place like Ghana exists where people live.
Second, the Roman empire (just like the greeks and Persian empire before them) made their empire in such a way that they were interlinked for diversity of purposes (e.g businesses) and to make ruling easy. There were number of Jews who did business throughout the Roman empire including Europe and Asia at the time of Jesus and who came back and gave details of their visits to their relatives and friends back in Jerusalem.
Thirdly, though a lot of the Jews were raised in Aramaic, Greek education (as propagated by the Romans who inherited it from their predecessors, the Greeks) was the primary form of language and communication. This was done to make interactions within the entire roman empire easier for administrative and business purposes. So these Jews who were schooled in Greek were no doubt taught about the Roman empire which stretched further than the areas Jesus preached in Israel.
Fourth, the Greek word Jesus used in Mathew 24:14 "in all the earth" is "oikumenes" is translated "all the INHABITED EARTH", meaning all the inhabitants of the ROMAN EMPIRE, which they already knew was vast and covered the territories i had already listed above.
Fifth, the Greek word used in that same Matthew 24:14 for unto "all nations" is "ETHNOS" meaning "a tribe or race, especially A FOREIGN or NON-JEWISH ONE". Everywhere that greek word ethnos is used in scripture, it refers to the gentiles as a foreign tribe or race and as distinct from the Jews. So in essence, Jesus was telling his disciples that for the end to come, the gospel must be preached outside Israel, to the gentiles, including the Roman empire which was the world super power of that period. He was indirectly revealing God's plan of salvation was not only for the Jews but was to incorporate the gentiles who would believe in him (because at that time, the Jews thought salvation was only for them).
This was the mystery of the church (grk. eklessia meaning the called out or chosen ones), where those (whether Jews or gentiles) who would believe in Jesus as saviour would be chosen and called out, and formed together as a new and special entity called the church, as opposed to what the Jews thought at that time that the church was to be composed of only Jews.

Let's get this straight please. Matthew 24 started with some of jesus disciples asking him for sign of his presence (2nd coming). Jesus mentioned many things like earthquake, wars pestilences, food shortage ... and preaching to all nation's etc. Jesus knew what he was saying that preaching will be done in all the nations, not what you said above.bthe crucification is not the end that Jesus meant. The end is the end of this ungodly world.

In November 2018, John Allen Chau, a 26-year-old US missionary trained and sent by Missouri-based All Nations, was killed during an illegal trip to the restricted island, planning to preach Christianity to the Sentinelese. Seven individuals were taken into custody by Indian police on suspicion of helping Chau's illegal access to the island. Entering a radius of 5 nautical miles (9.3 km) around the island is illegal under Indian law. Fishermen told police that they had seen the tribespeople dragging Chau's body around but the authorities had not been able to independently verify his death as of 25 November 2018 The case is being treated as a murder but there has been no suggestion that the tribesmen would be charged.

Chau's journal indicated he was aware of the risks he faced, having been shot at by an islander with a bow and arrow on a previous attempted visit, and of the illegality of his visits to the island. In a final note to his family sent via the fishermen, Chau wrote "You guys might think I'm crazy in all this but I think it's worthwhile to declare Jesus to these people. Please do not be angry at them or at God if I get killed ..." The family is not insisting on the return of the body to the US.

see, the Jews had nothing to do with the gentiles where the Romans fall among.
On the other hand, most Romans in the land of the Jews were centurions you know what that means?
They were free and were never bonds like the Jews. So, even if a centurion stoop low to say something about Italy to the Jews how will they possibly imagine that Italy was that far?
