AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 10:23 ¶ "When they persecute you in one city [because of your faith in Me], flee to the next; for I assure you and most solemnly say to you, you will not finish going through all the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes. |
Bible Question: In reading the previous answer for my question on Matthew 10:23, I understand that Jesus indicates to the apoostles that the message of the gospel will not finish reaching all nations before Jesus' 2nd coming, but in thinking about this I have another question: Why does this verse say the apostles won't finish spreading the gospel specifically to all the cities of Israel if rather than to all cities of the world if we are to take it that Jesus meant all nations here?

Bible Answer: Chusarcik Christ meant what he meant. He meant the cities of Israel alone, not all the world. Try to view this, and really all of the New Testament within a 1st century context, it will help greatly. Take care, SUEDE |
