End Time Prophecies
Joel:
The way I see it this is The Gospel;
John 3:16-17 For God so loved world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
The Church world has taken away, added to and twisted those two scriptures for centuries now with free will and the whole misconception of hell and the like.
From the time John the baptizer saw Jesus and said "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." John 1:29 there had to be a space of time for people to be added to the Church. The same as at the time when God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt, and the 40 years in the wilderness before they actually entered the promised land.
How long before this happens?
Revelation 14:6-7 I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgement is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Out of curiosity I looked at every occurrence of the word "Gospel" in the NT. 104 of them.
Underlined in this list is what I found to be interesting. Should the underlined items apply to the definition of the Gospel?
If the Gospel is preached, shouldn't the preaching include most of these things?

2Th_1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2Ti_1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

1Pe_4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Wanda:
The Gospel was the truth of God's purpose for mankind, A purpose of love and mercy for our salvation, that would require belief, repentence, obeying, faith, and judgement.
This gospel is spirit, for whom the elect were chosen to understand. Others will know of, and even believe in Jesus, and of his father, but not the spirit of this gospel. This gospel is not being preached in the churches today.
Eph 1:13 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise
He taught the gospel of the kingdom, Jesus mentioned the Kindom of Heaven well over 200 times.
Mark 1:15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe the gospel."
Matt. 13:11 …Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heavens
Ray...
What are the mysteries of the kingdom?
We are the kingdom of God... we are the kingdom of the heavens. Where does God reside? In heaven. God resides in heaven, but it is not called the kingdom of heaven in the Greek, you can check Rotherham and all those, it’s kingdom of the heavens, plural. We are the temple of God... God resides in His temple... God resides in heaven. We are the heaven in which God resides, where He dwells.
We are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar special people to God and through this kingdom, with Christ as the King, all the families of the earth are going to be blessed. But we are blessed through judgment and they are going to be blessed in judgment.

Christ’s holy ambassadors among the world’s persecutions.
