NOTES for Mat 24:13-28

The end will not come before the message of the Kingdom has been proclaimed throughout the whole world. Herein lies the incomparable greatness of the New Testament proclamation, the greatness of the universality of the principle of love and freedom that it announces. Yet we often remain confined within the blinders of Old Testament spirituality and divide the world into Christians and non-Christians, sinners and righteous people. To a certain extent this is so. But in the face of trials, we are all alike merely hearers and witnesses of the Good News of Salvation.
