Now we're living in the most serious, the most momentous times of the history of this world. We're living in the times that are very near, and approaching, what is known as the 'end of the world!' It isn't the end of the earth; it's the end of the world. It's the end of this age; it' ...

That Gospel is the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and men don't even know what the Kingdom of God is.
