[QUOTE="philadelphos, post: 76610162, member: 420433"] [I]Euangelion[/I] in Greek is this what traditionally referred to as "The Good News (of the Gospel of Jesus Christ". [URL='https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g2098/kjv/tr/0-1/']G2098 - euangelion - Strong's Greek Lexicon (kjv)[/URL] This is a new covenant view, from Christ's teaching to his Disciples/Apostles to synagogues ([I]shul[/I]) and throughout Israel, in Galilee, Judea, Perea and Samaria. Later through Paul (Saul, [I]Shaul[/I]) extending this message into Syria, Asia Minor, Greece, and Italy. Based on the Mosaic covenant but Isaiah the prophecy is for "all nations" ([I]goyim[/I]) so Gentile believers have taken this upon themselves to accelerate the spread of this by visiting various remote countries and islands in the world. "Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth [B]good tidings ([/B]מְבַשֵּׂר טוֹב מַשְׁמִיעַ יְשׁוּעָה [B]basar tob sama yeshua)[/B], that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! ...

So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider." (Isa 52:6-7, 10, 15) "And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the [B]gospel ([I]euangelion[/I])[/B] of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people." (Matthew 4:23 or [I]Mattityahu[/I]) And: "Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the [B]gospel ([I]euangelion[/I])[/B] is preached." (Luke 7:22 or [I]Loukas[/I]) Fast forward to the 1700s, "The First Great Awakening" (or Great Awakening) or the Evangelical Revival, spread like wildfire through England and US (English colonies).
