O.K., but it says the "gospel of the kingdom shall be preached..." So, the good news is the kingdom. Now, the way I read it the kingdom is "within", and "at hand." So it would seem that the good news is that the kingdom is within, and that it's realization is as near as informing everyone about it. IOW, everyone has a little, holographic if you will, piece of the kingdom within, and as soon as everyone realizes it the Kingdom without, or the extant Kingdom emerges.

Universal salvation is possible through the love and sacrifice of God through Jesus Christ. It is a gift and cannot be earned. God reached out to humanity and invites us to reach back to Him through cultivating love towards God and each other. The acceptance of this will transform our individual souls and has the power to transform the world.

I also think He included a place for "thinkers" beyond the norm (not that the norm is dumb by any means...I'm part of the norm). So I believe that includes you Cat.

hmm what is the good news?

Well the word Gospel means good news...if we read 1 Corinthians 15:1-7 we see the simplest form of the gospel is Jesus died for our sins, was entombed for 3 days and he has been raised.

No, The Good News is that we are saved if we accept the gift of salvation. What you describe leads up to the Good News. The Good News is the future, not history.

The good news is that God loves us and wants a relationship with us. the greatest commandment is to love the lord thy God with all thy heart, mind, soul, and strength and to love thy neighbor as thyself. That is the kingdom of God.

Jesus came to effect that relationship with God and others. Where we have failed in sin, He conquered with His life, demonstrating such a relationship is possible through the teachings of Scripture (OT & NT). Where we fall short, He completes it through the work on the Cross. It is like trying to climb up to the top of a building but the ladder is to short, so Jesus reaches down and grabs our hand and pulls us up.

Yep! this pretty well sums it up for me too. :)
 
God’s​
Kingdom—Are You Getting the Sense of It?​

"As for the one sown upon the fine soil, this is the one hearing the word and getting the sense of it."—MATTHEW 13:23.
HAVE you ‘got the sense of’ what God’s Kingdom is? Concepts of ‘the kingdom of the heavens’ have differed widely over the centuries. A common belief among some church members today is that the Kingdom is something God puts within a person’s heart at conversion. Others feel it is a place where good people go after death to enjoy eternal bliss. Still others claim that God has left it to humans to bring about the Kingdom on earth by their working to instill Christian teachings and practices into social and governmental affairs.
However, the Bible clearly shows that the Kingdom of God is not an institution on earth. It is neither a condition of heart nor the Christianizing of human society. True, a correct understanding of what this Kingdom is leads to great changes in the lives of those who exercise faith in it. But the Kingdom itself is a divinely instituted heavenly government that brings about God’s will, eliminating the effects of sin and death and restoring righteous conditions on earth. Already this Kingdom has taken power in the heavens, and soon "it will crush and put an end to all these [human] kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite."—Daniel 2:44; Revelation 11:15; 12:10.

Ok I can see your thinking but you even say we are saved if we accept the gift of salvation well how can you even get to the future without knowing about the gift to even become saved.

The Kingdom that is in the good news is the present not future or the past.
Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Sorry but if you dont realize what he did for you, then how would you know about the Kingdom, the personal relationship and everything which all comes from the Salvation?
 
And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. matthew 24;14 yes the end of manmade kingdoms and rulerships but hey GOOD NEWS Gods kingdom will be the only one that will rule in the correct way, and it will put an end to human rulerships
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite; Daniel 2;44 yes even though man is ruling now , in those days , which means right now , the God of heaven will and has set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin, it does not need to be passed from person to person because Jesus is the king and he will never die ............ yes its all happening in these last days , the kingdom is well established and is doing wonderful things for those who want it. but it has yet to crush the manmade kingdoms out of power . now that is what the bible teaches about the goodnews of the established kingdom ,with Jesus as its king , there is no salvation in any one else

Do not put YOUR trust in nobles,​

Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs psalm 146;3

yes with Jesus as king , it will be the best goverment ever
For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. 7 To the abundance of the princely rule and to peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom in order to establish it firmly and to sustain it by means of justice and by means of righteousness, from now on and to time indefinite. The very zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this. ...Isaiah 9;6-7
 
what is the good news? the good news is that the heavenly kingdom goverment is now established since 1914 ,and Jesus is a reigning king. and its all happening in this time of the end . so the question is,are we welcoming Jesus as the king of Gods kingdom. ? After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands. And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: "Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb. revelation 7;9-10.............. are we part of this great crowd , i have got my palm branch (symbolically) , and i am waving it to welcome Jesus as the king of Gods established heavenly kingdom.
 
(Mark 13:10) Also, in all the nations the good news has to be preached first............. it seems that the goodnews has got to be preached first, ok then , what will happen after the goodnews has been preached.? let the bible answer that.
(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.................. so then , the end of what ? let the bible give me the answer to that.
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite; Daniel 2;44 .............. so it seems to me that the heavenly kingdom of God will crush all other kings and rulerships. man thinks he is better than God ,but those who fight against God will come all the way to their end


(Revelation 16:16) And they gathered them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Har–Ma·ged´on.


​


(Revelation 19:19) And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army


The kings of earth take their stand
And high officials themselves have massed together as one Against Jehovah and against his anointed one. psalm 2;2 but hey no worries , Jesus has the backing of his father Jehovah God.... psalm 83;18 and he is the most high over all the earth . so i am going to put myself on the side of Jesus because he is the way to salvation. yes Gods kingdom is goodnews indeed , as it will bring peace to the earth. i think the bible holds out a wonderful hope for the earth, would you not agree?
