Christ promised Peter and the 11 and the little flock of Israelites, those who made up the Kingdom Church that He would be with them until the end of time. It was the Gospel of the Kingdom, the kingdom of heaven, once prophesied, and now proclaimed "at hand" that Christ was speaking of. And it was the Gospel of the Kingdom that Peter and the 11 and Christ and John the Baptist preached. Matt. Chapter 10. Specifically Matt. 4:23, 9:35; 24:14, Mark 1:14, Luke 9:2,6. The question is was it the same as the gospel of the grace of God that Paul received from Christ and preached? Acts 20:24 with Rom. 3:21-28, and Eph. 3:1-3 gives you the gospel of the grace of God.

Think carefully here. After perhaps 2 years of preaching the gospel that Christ gave Peter and the 11, they did not have the slightest idea what the Lord was talking about when He predicted His death. (Luke 18:31-34). Obviously, the "gospel" which they preached was not the "gospel" which Paul later preached or the "gospel" by which we are saved (1 Cor. 15:1-4). The "gospel" which they preached was "the gospel of the kingdom" (Matt.9:35, Luke (:2), NOT "the preaching of the cross.".

That Kingdom gospel will once again be preached, when Israel is once again God's people (beginning with the tribulation). So you see, His promise to be with ISRAEL until the end of time IS TRUE.
