But the jews then committed the unforgivable sin. They denied the holy ghost and they spent almost 2,000 years in dispersal because of it and God changed the program to the mysteries that Paul spoke of.
The apostles never went out to all the nations preaching the good news. They stayed in Jerusalem, argued a bunch and disappeared. While Paul was able to spread the good news to the gentiles and the gospel went out to the world.

Soon the Body of Christ will depart from this world and everything will pick up where it was 2,000 years ago. The jews in the land waiting for the earthly kingdom but first the last seven years of Daniel

AMEN. Acts 8:1: "And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, EXCEPT THE APOSTLES."

They remained in Jerusalem. BTW: the church which was at Jerusalem was the kingdom church, established by Christ and given to the 12 apostles, the little flock, and all who believed, repented, and were baptized when Peter preached his great Pentecost sermon. It was a Messianic Church, by Jews, for Jews, awaiting the return of their Messiah to set up His kingdom, whereby they would become a nation of priest to the Gentile world. That is how the Gentiles would have learned about Christ.

Speculation based on some theology or theory of man.

However we can tighten the shot group up a bit and lay down some foundations to the discussion at hand. This will clear up some of the multiple posts:

1. When in Acts did the kingdom gospel end and the gospel of grace begin. Beginning, middle, end of Acts or after Acts?

2. Did Peter and the 11 continue in a separate kingdom gospel as Paul preached the gospel of grace? How long did they simultaneously exist?

3. Did Paul ever preach the kingdom gospel, and if he did when did he stop preaching it for the gospel of grace?

4. 1 Corinthians 15, Paul defines the Gospel which he taught. He also mentions that based on this gospel “Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.” If this is accurate then which gospel is Paul referring to? The gospel of the kingdom or the gospel of grace?

If you are interested in addressing the above questions, I think we can have an organized discussion.

Thanks

There were many Jews accepting Christ on Pentecost. The apostles were Jews.

The apostles never went out to all the nations preaching the good news. They stayed in Jerusalem, argued a bunch and disappeared. While Paul was able to spread the good news to the gentiles and the gospel went out to the world.

The apostles did go to Samaria. Philip did preach the Gospel to the Ethiopian eunuch. Peter did enter the home of a Roman to preach the same gospel Paul preached. The results were the same.
