Bible Question (short): Is "the whole world" localized/ global? |
Question (full): Is the whole world just the Roman Empire? If so ... do we no longer need to preach the Gospel. since this is fulfilled? ... what does "all the nations" nations mean? - Was there more than one nation in the Roman Empire? ... while it is onlt tradition, some the apostles left the sphere of the oman Empire Surely this speaks of the whole world, since not a single individual will escape God's judgment. I also think about the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-39). Since he lived outside the Roman Empire, why would God want the Gospel preached to him? |
