NASB | Colossians 1:23 if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister. |

Bible Question: How close is the world in regard to the fulfilling of Matthew 24:14? |
Bible Answer: My friend, IT already HAS BEEN FULFILLED according to numerous Scriptures. Acts 2:3 “Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews FROM EVERY NATION UNDER HEAVEN. And don’t forget on that particular day that 3,000 people were saved. It doesn’t take a scientist to realize they all went home to their separate countries, and spread the good news. The rest is HIS-story. Romans 1:8 “First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.” Colossians 1:6 “ALL OVER THE WORLD THIS GOSPEL is producing fruit and growing …” Colossians 1:23b “This is the gospel that you heard AND THAT BEEN PROCLAIMED TO EVERY CREATURE UNDER HEAVEN, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant. I trust these few samples will help you realize what Jesus MEANT when He told His disciples TO GO INTO ALL THE WORLD – they took it to mean exactly what He said and did. Remember before Jesus was born, Caesar Augustus sent out a decree that ALL THE WORLD SHOULD BE TAXED. All the world that Jesus was talking about is the same "all the world" that Peter and Paul and Luke referred to. Blessings, Taleb |
