This message was central to Jesus' ministry (<a href="/matthew/4-23.htm">Matthew 4:23</a>) and emphasizes the arrival of God's kingdom on earth. The kingdom of God is both a present reality and a future hope, where God's will is perfectly done. The term "gospel" means "good news," highlighting the transformative and redemptive nature of this message.will be preached The act of preaching implies a public proclamation, often associated with the apostolic mission. Jesus commissioned His disciples to spread this message (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a>). The Greek word for "preached" (kēryssō) suggests a heralding or announcing, emphasizing the authoritative and urgent nature of the message.in all the world This phrase indicates the global scope of the mission. The early church understood this as a call to reach beyond Jewish communities to Gentiles, fulfilling the promise to Abraham that all nations would be blessed through his seed (<a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>). The term "world" (oikoumenē) often referred to the Roman Empire, but here it extends to the entire inhabited earth.as a testimony to all nations The gospel serves as a testimony, a witness to the truth of God's kingdom. "All nations" (ethnē) implies every ethnic group, not just political states, underscoring the inclusivity of the gospel. This aligns with the vision in <a href="/revelation/7-9.htm">Revelation 7:9</a>, where people from every nation, tribe, and language stand before the throne of God.and then the end will come The "end" refers to the culmination of history and the return of Christ. This eschatological promise is a central theme in Christian theology, where the preaching of the gospel to all nations is a precursor to the end times.

Special attention should be given to the words, "a witness unto all the nations," i.e., to all the Gentiles, as an implicit sanction of the work of which St. Paul was afterwards the great representative. So taken, the words prepare the way for the great mission of <a href="/matthew/28-19.htm" title="Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:">Matthew 28:19</a>.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/24.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 14. - This gospel of the kingdom. The good news of the coming of Messiah's kingdom - what we call in short, "the gospel" - "that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself" (<a href="/2_corinthians/5-19.htm">2 Corinthians 5:19</a>). He calls it "this" (<a href="/matthew/26-13.htm">Matthew 26:13</a>), because it is that which he preached, which it was the object of his incarnation to set forth. In all the world (e)n o%lh"" th = "" oi)koume/nh"", in all the inhabited earth). Before the taking of Jerusalem, the gospel had been carried into all parts of the then known world. We have very uncertain information about the labours of most of the apostles, but if we may judge of their extent from what we know of St. Paul's, we should say that very few quarters of the Roman world were left unvisited. "Their sound went out into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the inhabited world" (<a href="/romans/10-18.htm">Romans 10:18</a>). St. Paul testifies that the gospel was preached to every kingdom under heaven (<a href="/colossians/1-6.htm">Colossians 1:6, 23</a>). He himself carried it to Arabia, Syria, Asia Minor, Greece, Illyricum, Rome, Spain (see <a href="/romans/15-19.htm">Romans 15:19, 24, 28</a>; <a href="/galatians/1-17.htm">Galatians 1:17</a>; <a href="/philippians/1-13.htm">Philippians 1:13</a>, etc.). A witness unto all [the] nations. That both Jews and Gentiles might have the opportunity of receiving or rejecting Christ. The witness should be for or against them according to the use made of this opportunity. If the gospel thus delivered contained this utterance of our Lord's, the fulfilment of the predictions would lead to belief in him, and could fail to win acceptance only by reason of invincible prejudice or wilful perversity. Shortly, the truth is that the gospel will be everywhere offered, but not everywhere received. And then, when all these signs, especially the one last named, shall have appeared, shall the end come, primarily of Jerusalem, secondarily of this world or this age. Nothing is said of the effect of missionary efforts in early days or in time to come. We know that there was no national conversion in the primitive era, however common individual conversion may have been. So in the present age we are not to expect more than that Christian missions shall reach the uttermost parts of the earth, and that all nations shall have the offer of salvation, before the final appearance of Christ. The success of these efforts at universal evangelization is a mournful problem. "When the Son of man cometh, shall he find the faith upon the earth?"
