Guess the title says it all. What is the good news of the Gospel?

Proverbs 25:25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

O.K., but it says the "gospel of the kingdom shall be preached..." So, the good news is the kingdom. Now, the way I read it the kingdom is "within", and "at hand." So it would seem that the good news is that the kingdom is within, and that it's realization is as near as informing everyone about it. IOW, everyone has a little, holographic if you will, piece of the kingdom within, and as soon as everyone realizes it the Kingdom without, or the extant Kingdom emerges.

Yeah, the Laws of God are written in the hearts of every Human Being (Biblical). And, Jesus did say the Kingdom is within each and everyone of us. But, I don't think one can exclude one and expect to have the other...

Q
 
Jesus’ disciples understood the Kingdom to be an actual government of God, though they did not comprehend the reach of its domain. And it really is goodnews that this goverment of God is now well established in the heavens since 1914, and very shortly now it will step into the affairs of humans and put an end to manmade goverments. ............
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite; Daniel 2;44
what goodnews that is, the prince of peace Jesus Christ is the king of this goverment , and he will rule with Justice and peace............ that will be great no more wars , only peace.
(Psalm 2:6) [Saying:] "I, even I, have installed my king Upon Zion, my holy mountain." ...............Yes, Jehovah God has made his son the king of his kingdom . only the best can do the proper job .
(Revelation 19:16) And upon his outer garment, even upon his thigh, he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.................................... now that is what i would call GOODNEWS indeed.​
