Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Delay Warnings

The verse describes a necessary precursor to the end, but does not explicitly state that the end is delayed or that the coming is not immediate, only that a specific event must occur first.

Signs Before Return

The verse describes a specific event (preaching of the gospel) that must occur before the end, but it does not explicitly list or describe any of the natural or geopolitical signs (wars, earthquakes, sun/moon) mentioned in the theme definition.

Sequential Timeline

While the verse indicates a prerequisite for "the end," it doesn't detail a sequence of other prophetic events, focusing on a single condition rather than a broader timeline.
