There was a great multitude that none could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the lamb
Matthew 28: 16-20
“ Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus has told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “all authority in heaven and earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age”
“Do you love the Lord’s appearing? Then you will bend every effort to take the gospel into the entire world. “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” This is the Good News of the Kingdom. Christ has wrested authority from Satan. The Kingdom of God has attacked the kingdom of Satan; this evil Age has been assaulted by the age to come in the person of Christ. All authority is now His. He will not display this authority in its final glorious victory until He comes again, but the authority is now His. Satan is defeated and bound; death is conquered; sin is broken. All authority is His. His is the Kingdom; He reigns in heaven, and He manifests His reign on earth in and through His Church. To us is given not only to wait for but also to hasten the coming of the day of God (2Peter 3:12). This is the mission of the gospel of the Kingdom and this is our mission.”
