"...All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations..." (Matt.28:18-19).

"...repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." (Luke 24:47)

The "gospel" is supposed to be preached among all the nations of the world before Jesus returns. The trouble is:

This "gospel" [good news] of the Kingdom of God[the message that Jesus brought and preached] isn't preached by many of the hundreds of modern professing Christian denominations today.

"...Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel [good news]." (Mark 1:14-15)

Most of todays denominations preach "Jesus loves me" [and stories about Him]... and not the good news of the Kingdom of God that Jesus preached -- [mainly because they don't know what it is -- each with their different ideas about it].

As for all the nations of the world getting it preached to them, Jesus tells us:

"...THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS UNTO ALL NATIONS: and THEN SHALL THE END COME." (Matt.24:14)

The "chronology" of this "preaching" in this listing of end time global events that shall lead up to Jesus' return to earth with the Kingdom of God... places it happening during the Great Tribulation.

Jesus' description of the Great Tribulation in Matthew 24 begins in verse 9, and ends in verse 29. The "preaching of the Kingdom to all nations" falls somewhere in the middle of it all.

As it turns out... the "Two Witnesses" are prophesied to testify during the Great Tribulation. And it is their testimony that shall reach all the nations of the world -- nations that shall hate both their message and them [see Rev.11].

Many deceived modern professing Christian denominations who send out "missionaries" into the nations of the world aren't preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God. Their preaching of Jesus' name isn't necessarily a bad thing... but it's not the "good news" of the coming Kingdom of God. And that message still hasn't been preached in all the world.

The nations of men in the world don't like to hear about their governments being removed and taken over by someone's Kingdom... beit God's or anyone else's.

Nevertheless, in spite of what men want or like... "in all the world for a witness unto all nations" is where Jesus says the gospel is to be preached.
