In addition we can add Ephesians 3:6, and 2 Timothy 1:10,11, where the
gospel is defined as that of which Paul had been a minister, a preacher, an
apostle and a teacher of the Gentiles.  It would be as untrue as it would be
absurd to say that because we have compiled a list of fifteen different titles
of the Gospel, that there are fifteen `gospels', but it would be equally
harmful and untrue to sweep aside all the manifest differences that are here,
and reckon them of little or no importance.  Let us take an extreme case to
illustrate.
The everlasting gospel (Rev. 14:6).  Without turning aside to discuss the
word `everlasting' let us note the following features about this `gospel'.  The
exhortation is to `fear', the reason is because the hour of `judgment' has
come, and worship is directed to Him Who made heaven and earth, and the
fountains of waters.  Not only is this `gospel' notable for the terms employed,
it is even more notable for the obvious omissions.  Not one word as to faith,
no mention of Christ, no reference to redemption, no promise of life, no
allusion to the forgiveness of sins.  It is an extreme case certainly, but it
nevertheless challenges us, and calls us to realize that what may be a `gospel'
in one era may be no such thing in another.  By the time this gospel is
preached, materialistic science will have done its worst.  God as a Creator and
Moral Ruler will have ceased to exist in the mind of man except as an historic
specimen, and the man who fears God as Judge and Creator in those future
godless times will be a saved man.  Let us now go to the head of the list:
The gospel of the kingdom (Matt. 4:23).  It will be noted that this
gospel of the kingdom is evidently expressed in verse 17 in the words `Repent:
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand'.  It will further be noted that healing
all manner of sickness and disease was its accompaniment.  In Matthew 10, the
`twelve' are commissioned to preach this gospel of the kingdom, and here we not
only have the accompaniment of healing,
`Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons'
(verse 8),
but the restriction:
`Go not into the way of the Gentiles'.
Among those thus commissioned in Matthew 10 was `Simon, who is called
Peter'.  There is no reason to doubt that he preached this gospel with signs
following.  Yet in Matthew 16, we find him making it manifest that he did not
know that Christ should suffer and be killed (Matt. 16:21 -23).  So therefore
we have in the gospel of the kingdom another example of a preaching with most
evident Divine approval that had no place in it for `Jesus Christ and Him
crucified'.  It would be as evil for anyone to preach this gospel of the
kingdom today as it would be to preach the everlasting gospel -- neither is a
