Here Jesus is speaking of his sending forth his messengers to trumpet the gospel of salvation. The fall of the old covenant economy is the sign that the gospel of God's saving grace is spreading to all the world, overflowing the boundaries of Old Testament Israel (cp. Psa 147:19'20; Amos 3:2; Eph 2:11'12). God is finished with sacrifices and human priests (Heb 8:13); he will no longer focus his grace kon a single nation (John 4:20'24; cp. Isa. 2:3'4; 19:19'25). So now the gospel will go to all nations (Matt 28:18'20).
