Matthew 24:14 - 24:15

Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this discourse, Steve Gregg delves into Matthew 24:14-15, discussing the meaning behind the verse stating, "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." Gregg argues that the verse should not be taken in a purely literal sense, as the term "nations" in this context referred to all Jews living abroad. Additionally, he discusses the two phases of the tribulation period and notes that different interpretations are possible. Finally, he emphasizes the importance of understanding the context and language behind biblical passages to avoid being misinformed.
