Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 24:14

14 And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come.

So saith Mark Ch. 13.10. some think that the end mentioned in the Close of this Verse, refers to the Destruction of Ierusalem, others, that it referreth to the Day of Iudgment. If we take World (as it is often taken) for the Gentiles in opposition to the Jews, Synechdochically, the whole being put for a great part; it is most certain, that before Ierusalem was destroyed, the Gospel which is here called the Gospel of the Kingdom, either because it shews the way to the Kingdom of God, or because it is that sacred Instrument, by which Christ subdueth Mens Hearts to himself, was preached to the World, that is, to the Gentiles, and that to a great part of them. Paul alone had carried it from Ierusalem to Illyricum. The Romans Faith was spoken of throughout the World, Rom. 1.8. Paul Col. 1.23. saith it was preached to every Creature, see also, Rom. 10.16. & 15, 16▪ Col. 1.6. 1 Tim. 3.16. But others chuse by the end here to understand the End of the World.
