Context of Matthew 24:14

12Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. 13But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. 15“Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

Commentaries on Matthew 24:14

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world - But, notwithstanding these persecutions, there should be a universal publication of the glad tidings of the kingdom, for a testimony to all nations. God would have the iniquity of the Jews published every where, before the heavy stroke of his judgments should fall upon them; that all mankind, as it were, might be brought as witnesses against their cruelty and obstinacy in crucifying and…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world - The evidence that this was done is to be chiefly derived from the New Testament, and there it is clear.

Before the end comes, there will be a time, whether short or long, when the good news spreads among the nations. Jesus said the end will be marked by three signs. First is "the abomination of desolation" (24:15). Second is severe persecution (24:16–28). Finally comes the sign of the Son of Man (24:29–31).Read the comment
