In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea and saying, "Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

"From that time Jesus began to preach and to say Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

That was the message preached to Israel.  God had promised them a kingdom and a king - an earthly kingdom out of heaven and a King descended from David.
Isaiah 7:14

The LORD set them aside...

...and a new gospel was announced.

The Apostle Paul was commissioned to make know this new message.

Romans 11:6 - And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
