"The End": Two Fulfillments
Scholars debate whether "the end" refers to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD or the final end of the world. Many commentators, like Spurgeon and Matthew Henry, suggest a dual fulfillment. The gospel was preached throughout the known Roman world before Jerusalem fell (a first fulfillment), but it will also be preached to all nations before Christ's final return (the ultimate fulfillment).
