Study note

Setting — Jesus speaks to his disciples on the Mount of Olives, answering their inquiry about the sign of his coming and the end of the age. He outlines the chronological sequence that must unfold before the conclusion.

The words — κηρυχθήσεται (kēruchthēsetai) is a future passive verb meaning “there will be proclaimed.” It establishes the divine guarantee that the gospel of the kingdom will be publicly declared across the earth.

The thread — The global scope of this proclamation appears in Revelation 14:6, which describes an angel carrying the eternal gospel to every nation, and in Romans 10:18, which records that the message has reached the ends of the earth.

Why it lands — The text states that worldwide proclamation is a fixed precondition for the end, not a secondary outcome. It requires readers to participate in the testimony and maintain steadfast endurance until the appointed conclusion.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
