Was “The Great Commission” FULFILLED in the 1^st Century??? The Holy Bible teaches an affirmative YES!!!
by Tuese Ahkiong
Director of ARM: Always Ready Ministries


Remember, The Bible was NOT written TO US in 2013 or even FOR US.

What standard would one use to determine if "The Great Commission" was fulfilled?  Would one check the 1st century "Daily Jerusalem Newspaper?" Lol.  1st century Almanac?  1st century historic accounts of Josephus?  Roman records?  NO.  The Christians ultimate standard on spiritual matters is The Holy Word of God!  And what does the Holy Word of God say about "The Great Commission?"  It says that it was FULFILLED.  Btw, the phrase "Great Commission" appears NO where in Scripture.  It's just a romanticized idea created by futurist Christians who believe they will bring about the return of Christ by their evangelism.  I used to be a missionary with Hawaii YFC and this was one of the messages I heard using Matthew 24:14.




1)
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole [WORLD]  as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.  

The word, "WORLD" as used in this passage is the Greek word, "Oikuoumene" which means known world or Roman world like in Luke 2:1In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered).

FULFILLED!
Romans 10:18 But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”



2)
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Matthew28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,  baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

FULFILLED!
Romans 16:26 but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith
What age was Christ and His disciples in?  The Old Covenant Age/ Being born under The Law.
Gal 4:4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,


3)
Mark 16:15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.

FULFILLED!
Romans1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.



4)
Mark 16:15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.

FULFILLED!
Colossians 1:6 which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth,
Colossians 1:23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast,not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.


5)
Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”


FULFILLED!
Acts 9:31 the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.
Colossians 1:23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast,not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
Romans 10:18 But I ask, have they not heard?Indeed they have, for “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”


6)

Matthew 28:16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

FULFILLED!

Romans 10:18 But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”

Romans 16:26 but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith

When interpreting Scripture, ask the 5 W’s: who, what, where, when, why.  

Who is speaking and who is being spoken to in this passage?  Yeshua is speaking to THE ELEVEN DISCIPLES.

What?  Yeshua is giving THE ELEVEN, THE APOSTLES a Mission.

When?  Around 33 AD just before Christ’s ascension.

Where?  On a mountain in Galilee.

Why?  Yeshua had a Mission for THE ELEVEN to make disciples of all the nations.  The elect remnant of Israel were scattered among the nations.  Christ came ONLY for the lost sheep of the house of Israel.  His Fisher of men would rescue them!

v17  THE ELEVEN worshipped Yeshua.  Only YHWH is worthy of worship.  Therefore, Yeshua is YHWH.  

v18  Yeshua spoke TO THEM and NOT to you in the 21^st Century.  He proclaimed His Authority over the covenant world.  Heaven and Earth is symbolic of the covenant of world all over Scripture.

v19  THE ELEVEN were given the task to make disciples of all THE NATIONS.  Who were THE NATIONS?  The House of Israel who were scattered into the nations.  They were to be BAPTISED.

v20  THE ELEVEN were to teach the new disciples all that Yeshua had commanded them.  

Yeshua is always with His people but would be with THE ELEVEN to EMPOWER their ministry to complete their mission.

Yeshua would be with THE ELEVEN even to the end of the Age.  What age were they in?  The Old Covenant Age which came to an end in 70AD.  The completion of their mission would be in connection with ending The Old Covenant Age.  Part of the mission was baptizing the elect remnant of Israel.  

Jesus said that the things he states between Matthew 24:4-34, would be fulfilled in His generation (this generation). This included "The Great Commission" of v14.

MATT 24:Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” 3As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

34 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

***What are all these things that were suppose to take place before "this generation" passed? Read v4-34. Well, one of those things was The Great Commission or better yet, The Gospel of the kingdom being proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations.

If one goes through Matthew 24, the "you" in the passage is referring to the 1st century disciples (see v3) and not "you" reading this passage in the 21st century. lol.  It's always good to identify the antecedent of "you," and to get the audience relevance and historic context: who, what, where, when, why, how...  This will make one's hermeneutic (interpretation skills) take off. 

The disciples/ Apostles were like SPECIAL FORCE NAVY SEAL TEAMS EMPOWERED by THE HOLY SPIRIT to FULFILL their MISSION of rescuing GOD’s ELECT among the nations within that generation 30-70 AD with THE GOSPEL that was ONLY FOR ISRAEL and then THE END would come. END OF WHAT?  END OF THE AGE, THE END OF The Temple which represented The Old Covenant which was bondage to THE LAW, priesthood, sacrificial system, division between Jew and Gentile or Jew and Greek or JEW AND ISRAELITE. 

W.H.O.INTERPRETS THE BIBLE

W ords of the text, in context. All words have meaning. God’s words communicate God’s thoughts to us! Genre-The type of literature. Accordingly particular rules of interpretation will apply to each kind of writing; Historical Narrative, poetry and wisdom, or prophetic writings.

Historic setting.  The time of the writing, the writer and his purpose, and those to whom the message was addressed must be considered! *Audience relevance is so important because the Bible was NOT written “to” us in 21st century but “for” us. Many readers are very egotistic in that they constantly read themselves into the text.

O ther Bible Texts. The Bible has unity of doctrine. We must compare Scripture with Scripture to seethe whole picture (This is known as the analogy of faith put forth and taught by The Protestant Reformers.).

Here’s a great acronym for interpreting Scripture: HAT HAT

H ermeneutics 

A udience Relevance

T ime Statements

H istoric Context

A pocalyptic Language

T ypology

The Bible was NOT written TO you or FOR you in the 21st century but TO and FOR certain people like Timothy, Titus; and The Church in Rome, Corinth, Galatia...   

The Bible was written during a specific Historic context.
