thunder, the context of the Gospel being preached is the tribulation. the one who quoted rev 14 with the angel proclaiming the gospel has it right on. so the gospel is preached during the tribulation, besides the gospel has now almost been preached everywhere. if i'm wrong then I'LL apologize. anyway you frieken slice it IT'S CLOSE!

The Word has to reach every nation. The Greek word for nation is ethnos, from which we get the word "ethnic". So what the Word is saying is that the Word has to reach every ethnic group and every tribe in that group before Messiah will return.

I heard a few years ago that at the turn of the 20th century there were over 200 different groups yet to be reached. At the turn of the 21st century there were around 20 left.

As I've said before, I don't think the Rapture can occur until that last person in that last tribe has had opportunity to hear the Word of God. I could be wrong, and if I am I'll apologize to everyone when we get to Paradise.

I think that's one prophecy that many ignore: the whole world hearing the Gospel.

I agree with Ed. Not only does the 144000 Jewish witnesses and the 2 witnesses proclaim Jesus during the tribulation, if that doesn't fulfill the requirement that the gospel be preached in all the world this does!

Rev 14:6-7
6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth — to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people —
7 saying with a loud voice,"Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."
NKJV

C in Salem,
Yes, that's an important aspect (gospel being preached in all the world). I think the consensus I am most comfortable with is that we are not quite there yet. Having said that, when Jesus iss talking about the gospel being preached in the whole world, I believe it leaves open the possibility that that is a prerequisite for the second coming to occur, not for the tribulation to start.
Now since the whole world will see the 2 witnesses (Rev. 11) and 144,000 Jewish witnesses (Rev. 7) are sealed and running all over the world, we can know that the gospel will reach everyone before the second coming without a doubt.
So, if Jesus was saying it would be preached throughout the whole world before the second coming, we know that during the tribulation this will happen even if it hasn't prior.

David,

I came ACROSS your blog here today - as I received another shipment from your ministry.

Your prophecy studies are just "Out of this World". I really enjoy the DVD "50 Reasons We Are Living in the End Times".

I look forward to watching your "Fundamentals of Bible Prophecy" tonight in the DVD set of 2.

May GOD Bless You and yours in a Special Way! Maranatha, Maranatha, Marantha!!! Come LORD Jesus!

In His Love,

Terry Burton

The Holy Spirit reveals The Word and it is not a disparate or differential Word, but one and the same Word. That Scripture reveals Scripture is another way of saying this because the Holy Spirit is the revealer of the Word to us. All of these things emanate from the same SOURCE, the Lord God YHWH. I cannot wait to read Dr. Reagan's Part II for this series.

sean, im in total agreement. sadly many people come up with these stupid charts (not all charts are bad, im refering to the ones way out there)place dates, name names and scare children. then ALL prophecy teachers and students are lumped into one category. i just heard the stereo-type in church last night. preacher said "the day of the Lord IS coming, but hes coming like a theif, could be tomorrow or it could be another 2,000yrs. noone knows so dont try and figure it out"

One that I keep hearing kicked about is the gospel being preached in every nation. Some say it has already been done and some say it we are still not there yet. But that technology is here to get it done soon... anyone know how you know if this is been fulfilled or not?

I agree totally, SeanOsborne.

There is so much going on with prophetic significance, that unless you have all day every day to devote to keeping up with it there is no way you can. I tried.

The meager few hours a week I have to devote are not enough. I've had to narrow my scope down to a few things, and even that's tough.

Maybe I need to take more of the attitude Mr. Peak did.

To my understanding of these prophetic things Jesus told us in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24:36) that "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven,[e] but My Father only." The other verses (Matthew 37-44) which follow this statement make it clear to me that the context of what Jesus was referring to was that of the Harpazo, the Rapture, of the Bride of Christ. This event occurs prior to Daniel's 70th Week.

The Second Coming, at the conclusion of Daniel's 70th Week, is detailed by both the prophets Daniel in the Book of Daniel and by John in the Revelation of Jesus Christ in such a way the exact numbers of days are cited in these prophetic texts.

The season is also clearly given in the parable of the fig tree in Matthew 24:32-35, and it speaks to a specific generation of men. The modern state of Israel is the fig tree and we are that generation.
