Worldwide Proclamation of the Gospel Brought to View

"Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come: and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 
IN THESE words a special, 
worldwide proclamation of the Gospel is brought to view. 

It is the same work of which Christ spoke when He said, 
in Matthew 24:14 
---This Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; 
---and then shall the end come. 

This appears from the fact that the next event in the prophecy is the coming of Christ. 
Revelation 14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel name out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in your sickle, and reap; for the time is come for You to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 16 And He that sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped."
