No, but I did preach 'The Gospel Of The Grace Of God.' It is Different:

what about the people just being born or going to be born tomorrow are they part of the world ? And has the gospel been preached to them also ?
if you think of the world as including the people who are the ones hearing the gospel it can’t be preached to all the world until the end of the world comes
it’s why Jesus said the fospel of the kingdom would be preached as a witness to all nations and then the end would come
The nations are the people the creatures
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
the gospel is sent to all the people of the world even those of the next generation they are also part of the world God sent the gospel to
Its a perpetual and unchanging unending message and will always be on earth being preached until the end

Another way of saying all nations
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
Every person created by God is part of the world and it no longer matters what nationality
The gospel is Gods doctrine for all people that will save those souls or if they reject it will judge thier souls so everyone needs to hear it and believers need to share it so people can hear it’s witness
because the gospel is this word of salvation
“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
James 1:21-
a James is speaking about the gospel this word can save souls if we repent and receive it like James is saying
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
That’s why we should preach it it saves peoples souls to accept Gods true word that promises eternal Life
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63 KJV
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.”
John 8:51 KJV
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:31-32 KJV
( many try to remove what Jesus is saying about his word because they reject his authority so they create “ another gospel “that excludes his words )
See Jesus is who preached the gospel and then sent out witnesses to preach the same things to everyone else including baptism
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Matthew 28:18-20
The gospel was preached by Jesus and then those who heard and believed witnessed it to others the message remains the same the people now include everyone willing to believe
See it’s Jesus preaching it and then his apostles confirming it as truth they are wotnesses of the truth of the gospel
“how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;”
Hebrews 2:3 KJV
Jesus and then his witnesses but the word is what we find in Matthew mark Luke and John those four books are the gospel then the epistles witness of its truth and reveal insight and add to our understanding of it nothing ever changes
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
Hebrews 13:8 KJV
It is still this and always will be
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
those are the only two options
1 accept the gospel and live with Jesus in his kingdom forever
2 reject the gospel and be lost in death

Amen salvation is part of the gospel of the kingdom of God , to be saved means you are now part of the kingdom but it’s all of one gospel salvation is an element leading to eternal life and translation into the kingdom
If I were to say this I’m explaining something about salvation that comes with the kingdom
Being saved from the power of darkness
And entered into the kingdom is of one teo elements to words of the same doctrine
“who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, ( saved us )
and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:”
Colossians 1:13-14 KJV
forgivness of sins in Christs blood is something every citizen of his kingdom goes through being delivered from satans power into his eternal kingdom all parts of the same doctrine
So you have this
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
Matthew 24:14 KJV
and then you see the revelation of it as you peer into the kingdom of heaven where Christ is at the throne
“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, ( the throne is where the king is in his kingdom ) and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. ( they heard the gospel of salvstion by his blood )
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, ( the world )
and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ( thier sins are washed away by his bloodshed )
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: ( the body of Christ is his temple )?and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. ( God with us )
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”
Revelation 7:9-10, 14-17 KJV
In the gospel preached to all nations Jesus says if we believe he will lead us to living springs of living waters and will meet all Our needs like hunger and thirst
Im saying the gospel of the kingdom is the gospel of salvation salvation is an element , remission Of sins an element , repentance an element , being cleansed from sin and having our robes made white an element being translated into the eternal kingdom an element
The gospel is vast and covers so much territory

I’m not sure this will make sense not to me it does fit right into the conversation
“grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: (the gospel )that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: for
so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.”
2 Peter 1:2-8, 10-11 KJV
i hope it makes sense to someone else
In the end what is created now that we see is going to be removed and Gods kingdom and his people in it will be all that remains
The importance of what you quoted about the gospel of the kingdom bieng preached until the end is the only way we can be part of his kingdom only the way Jesus told us in the gospel that’s the only doorway into his kingdom to accept and believe and trust in and walk after our lord Jesus Christ and his gospel of his kingdom eternal offered to us mortals who had already condemned our own selves by sin
it’s as simple as knowing the gospel of the kingdom is the way here to this place in eternity
“And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. ( the king and his people in his kingdom the new heaven and earth to come )
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”
Revelation 21:3-5 KJV
When this world falls his kingdom will become apparent to all remaining
“grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Yes.
In Christ we inherit, with Him, the full estate of our Father, the Living God.
9For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
19For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
21And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— 23if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.
“For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell…”
If we can receive it, we are the fullness that dwells in Him: the proof of His power and authority. When we believe, we become His ambassadors and ministers of reconciliation.

Yes! We can do it right here on CC! You never know who might stumble in and read your post. 
Jesus loves you.
God created the world for man to live in. It was His intent that men live in harmony with Himself and each other, but He also gave men free will. Men chose to live wrongly and separated themselves from Him, but...
John 3:
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Revelation 3:20
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
