(Mat 28:18-20)
The words Ligurian has referred (above) were spoken by the risen Christ, to the twelve. All power has been given unto Him (in heaven and in earth).
Matthew 28:16-20 Then
The Eleven Disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Ιησους had appointed them.[17] And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him, but some doubted.[18] And Ιησους came and spake unto them, saying, All authority is given unto Me in Heaven and in Earth.[19] Go ye therefore, and Disciple 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 things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
* Dr Bullinger in his appendix to the Companion Bible No. 167 *, points out that this is the proclamation of the King, Who had left Jerusalem, according to the Parable (Luke 19:12), until He returns in power to set up His kingdom (Matthew 26:64).
(Luke 19:12 is hearsay)
This man is the Father, not the Son:
Matthew 25:14-30 For the Kingdom of Heaven is as
a man travelling into a far country, who called His own servants, and delivered unto them His goods.
Matthew 21:33-36 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and
went into a far country:[34] And when the time of the fruit drew near, He sent His servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.[35] And the husbandmen took His servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.[36] Again, He sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.[37] But
last of all He sent unto them His Son saying, They will reverence My Son.
* It is the summons to the Gentile nations to submit to the Lord Jesus Christ, as the King of Israel, according to Psalm 2:10-12.
* It is the proclamation of 'the Gospel of the Kingdom', for a witness to all nation, immediately before the end of the age (Matthew 24:14; Revelation 14:6).
* It is still wholly future in its application, and proclaims the judgment on the Gentiles for the final deliverance of Israel, according to Psalm 2:9, when verse 6 shall be fulfilled.
(Psa. 2:6-12)
But end "of the age" isn't in the KJV.
Matthew 24:14-15 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 26:13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever
This Gospel shall be preached in all the world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Psalms 2:1-12 Wherefore did the heathen rage, and the gentiles imagine vain things?[2] The kings of the Earth stood up and the rulers gathered themselves together against the Lord and against His Christ:[3] saying,
Let us break through Their bonds and cast away Their yoke from us.[4] He that dwells in the Heavens shall laugh them to scorn and the Lord shall mock them;[5] then shall He speak to them in His anger, and trouble them in His fury.[6]
But I have been made king by Him on Sion His holy mountain,[7] declaring the Ordinance of the Lord: The Lord said to Me, Thou art My Son, to-day have I begotten Thee.
Matthew 16:13-17 And Simon Peter answered and said,
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.[17] And Jesus answered and said unto him,
Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but My Father which is in Heaven.
Matthew 17:1-5 And after six days Ιησους taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into
an high mountain apart,[2] And was
transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light. ...[5] While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said,
This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him.
