Gospel (n.)

Acts
".. And he said unto them. These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you: that all must be fulfilled which were written of me in the law of Moses and in the Prophets, and in the Psalmes:
Then opened he their wits, that they might understand the scriptures, and said unto them: Thus is it written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from death the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, and must begin at Jerusalem."
Luke 24
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that ye go, and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of my father in my name he should give it you.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self.
There is none other commandment greater than these."

The resurrection of the dead; and, a new heaven and a new earth.
"But now is Christ risen from the dead, and is become the first fruits of them that slept. For by a man came death, and by a man came resurrection of the dead. For as by Adam all die: even so by Christ, shall all be made alive, and every man in his own order. The first is Christ, then they that are Christs at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he hath delivered up the kingdom to God the father, when he hath put down all rule, authority and power. For he must reign till he have put all his enemies under his feet.

O that my words were written, O that they were put in a book: would God they were graven with an iron pen in lead or in stone. For I am sure, that my redeemer liveth, and that I shall rise out of the earth in the latter day: that I shall be clothed again with this skin, and see God in my flesh. Yea I my self shall behold him, not with other but with these same eyes. My reins are consumed within me, when ye say: Why do not we persecute him? We have found an occasion against him. But beware of the sword, for the sword will be avenged of wickedness, and be sure, that there is a judgement.

Let men this wise esteem us, even as the ministers of Christ, and disposers of the secrets of God. Furthermore it is required of the disposers that they be found faithful. With me is it but a very small thing, that I should be judged of you, either of man's day. No I judge not mine own self. I know nought by myself: yet am I not thereby justified. It is the Lord that judgeth me. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, which will lighten things that are hid in darkness: and open the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise of God. 1Cor. 4:1-5, Matthew 7:1, Luke 6:37, John 7:24, 1Samuel 16:7
And he said unto me: seal not the sayings of prophesy of this book. For the time is at hand.{tyme is at honde}
He that doth evil, let him do evil still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be more righteous: and he that is holy, let him be more holy.
And behold I come shortly, and my reward with me, to give every man according as his deeds shall be.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Blessed are they that do his commandments, (those who wash their robes in the blood of the lamb) that their power may be in the tree of life, and may enter in thorow the gates into the city. For with out shall be dogs and enchanters, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth or maketh leasings.
I Jesus sent mine angel, to testify unto you these things in the congregations. I am the root{rote} and the generation of David, and the bright morning star.
And the spirit and the bride said come. And let him that heareth, say also come. And let him that is a thirst come. And let whosoever will, take of the water of life free.
Revelation 22:10-29
".. The Lord is not slack to fulfil his promise, as some men count slackness: but is patient to us ward, and would have no man lost, but would receive all men to repentance.
Nevertheless the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which day, the heavens shall perish with terrible noise, and the elements shall melt with heat, and the earth with the works that are therein shall burn.
If all these things shall perish, what manner persons ought ye to be in holy conversation, and godliness: looking for, and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens shall perish with fire, and the elements shall be consumed with heat.
Nevertheless we look for a new heaven, and a new earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
2 Peter 3:9-13; Philemon; Isaiah 65; Revelation 21
AMENM
The Lord Jesu Christ is come in the flesh; this
same Christ Jesus that was since taken up
to heaven from the Apostles, received in a
cloud, shall so return in the flesh according
to the Scriptures. He comes quickly;
As he was taken up, is soon coming,
even as the Apostles saw him go
into heaven. He comes
with clouds, and
with the glorified body;
The God and his son cometh
according to the Scriptures;
Thus it is written, and,
so be it.
