Is their any other Christian Religion who fulfils Matt 24:14 like Jehovah's Witnesses?
http://www.jw.org/en/news/by-region/americas/unite...
Matthew Chapter 24 When the disciples approach Jesus to ask him about the conclusion of the system of things, notice what he said....
3 While he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?”
7“For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another.8All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.
9“Then people will deliver YOU up to tribulation and will kill YOU, and YOU will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name.10Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another.11And many false prophets will arise and mislead many;12and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off.13But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.14And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
Did you notice the last SIGN we are to see happening?
A global preaching work of the good news of the Kingdom of God was to be preached before the end. This is the only time in history that has ever been happening!
The video at the top in the link is Jehovah's Witnesses preaching in manhattan, on the homepage of the site you will see a picture at the top with Matt 24:14 as it shows how we preach in every nation.
Does any other Christian Organisation preach about the Kingdom good news in every nation?
Matt 24:34 only seems that way when used Out Of Context, Jesus here was referring to us who live in "the last days" so from verse 7-14 it is applicable.
Because no other Christian Organisation is doing these things which fit Jesus words, many will ignore this post and chose not to face the facts, others will come on here to slander Jehovah's Witnesses and ignore the truth to the sign, still others choose rather than to understand the scripture and take the Bible as a whole all in harmony, they choose to take things out of context.
Jesus was speaking to the people of the first century but it is clear Matt 24:34 was referring to "the last days" he was prophetically speaking.
I could go into detail about little bits and we would be here a while... Rather than that, why not explain then Matthew 7-14, who does it apply to? what does it mean? Also Daniel 2:44 who can explain that?
Matthew 5:5“Happy are the mild‐tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.
Earth not heaven. True many will rule with Christ in heaven who were once men and woman but mankind was made, not for heaven but for the earth. Otherwise would Satan have succeeded in ruining Jehovah's plan for mankind to inhabit the earth as a paradise? or has Jehovah's will changed?

The simple answer is NO. No other religion is preaching the same message as Jesus instructed other than Jehovah's Witnesses. Some say "All Christians preach the gospel everyday'. Well, what they preach is not in harmony with the Bible's message. They spread false doctrine of hellfire and accept the trinity. No where is this spoken of by Jesus as the Good News. So they are not following the command of Jesus since they never speak of Jehovah's Kingdom.
Edit: It's sad that so far the answers have not answered your question but instead took it to grandstand. Wonder why so many are fed up with religion when they can't even answer a simple question without ranting like lunatics.
As you can see further, a Catholic priest can't even tell you what the message to preach is. He rather uses this to run people down and never answers the question at hand. He is a prime example of one who preaches what is contrary to scripture, but is so blind to the truth, he fails to see it.

The only ones preaching and teaching globally at this time as Jesus commanded having been given ''all authority'',(see Mathew 28:18-20) are Jehovah's Christian Witnesses; this is fulfilling Mathew 24:14.
What we preach and teach is the truth found in the Bible, lives depend on whether people worship Jehovah God and exercise faith in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus his Son; acting on what the Bible, God's word says. Anyone who wants to, can read our literature online and look up the scriptures for themselves using their own Bible, a home Bible study can also be requested using the link on our new web site [www.jw.org] or just ask us when we call on you at our home.
We hope as many as possible take the opportunity to learn about Jehovah, to grow to love, serve and worship him and be among those who will live forever on a restored earth following armageddon.
Those who ignore God and his word, who are disobedient or oppose him, all the ungodly; these will not survive, and, before any think being ''called'' a Jehovah's Witness means survival,
read Mathew 7:21-23; so please learn and be among those ''doing the will of'' the Father, Jehovah our God.

No there is [NOT] one, there are those that attempt and you have to give them credit as their intention is good. The Mormons have a 2 year missionary work then their done all they have to do is pay their 10%, they are very good at helping all those of their same faith and set a good example but have their hierarchy and there are those that suffer especially if you don't do as they wish.
Different groups will make attempts at the preaching work as they know it's what the scriptures teach(Matt 24:14;28:19-29;2 Timothy 4:2) but since they they do not have the "Helper"(God's Holy Spirit) they soon dwindle away and then it stops.
There are 7.5 million Kingdom proclaimers that average 10 hours monthly worldwide, that's 75,000,000 hours monthly, the Watchtower magazine is the largest distributed publication in the world, the difference is the Jehovah's Witnesses have Jehovah's Holy Spirit(the helper Jesus promised he would ask his Father to send) directing this preaching work.
Another reason why we are so successful is Christ is the head of the Christian congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses(1 Corinthians 11:3) But I want YOU to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the Christ is God.(Romans 14:9) For to this end Christ died and came to life again, that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living.(Ephesians 4:15) But speaking the truth, let us by love grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ.(Colossians 2:10) And so YOU are possessed of a fullness by means of him, who is the head of all government and authority.
Fulfilling Matt 24:14 in itself is a witness that Jehovah's Witnesses are the only true faith(Ephesians 4:5, 6) one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6Â one God and Father of all [persons], who is over all and through all and in all.

The fact that the Watchtower; Bible based magazines published by Jehovah's Witnesses, is the most circulated magazine in the world is the strongest indicator of the fulfillment of this prophesy. The Awake; published by Jehovah's Witnesses is the second most circulated magazine worldwide.
It's undeniable that Jehovah's Witnesses are the ONLY ones fulfilling this prophesy.
Would the "good news" be popular? A basic knowledge of the scriptures make it clear that this would be an unpopular message and would be rejected by the masses. The point is that it would be sounded throughout the earth. See 2 Co 4:3, 4

In my journey in life, I have never heard of; seen; read it reported of....
with one exception only: Jehovah's Witnesses.
No other religious faith carries out this great commission to increase the sheepfold.
To work in the great harvest.
To become a fisher of men.
Or makes the name of the Most High God,
a public declaration for all who would listen,
to hear and know that Jehovah is the One True God and Sovereign Lord of the universe.

Greetings,
The worldwide work of Jehovah's Witnesses gives evidence that they are the means God has chosen to dispense Biblical truth. JWs are engaged in the greatest Bible education work ever done in all human history (Mt.24:14; 28:18-20). They are publishing more Biblical literature than has ever done in all human history. Every one of them are imitating Christ in preaching, teaching, and living according to Christian standards. The unprecedented unity and peace that exists among Jehovah's Witnesses is further confirmation from the Holy Spirit (1Pt.2:21; Jn.13:34,35; Mt 5:44; Gal.5:19ff).
This is something that other religions cannot even comprehend. They cannot even get members of the same church to agree on correct beliefs, let alone go and unitedly teach others.
A vast portion of the earth’s population are familiar with Jehovah’s Witnesses. While we don’t know to what extent each individual will receive a personal witness we know that Jehovah has promised that there will be absolutely no righteous individual lost.
What we do know is that ONLY Jehovah’s Witnesses are able right now to give a worldwide witness to anyone God directs us to!! There are no other religions which can carry out the Great Commission!
Apostate Christianity has neither the spiritual strength nor the support of God's holy spirit to motivate people to follow the truthful teachings of Jesus Christ. For this reason, the result in Christendom is not true Christianity but counterfeit believers, "weeds" unfit for the Kingdom.-Mat13:24ff.
When you examine most religions you find that they cannot meet any of the other requirements of true Christianity. Their historical record is of bloodthirsty wars, immorality, sectarian violence and factional splits (Mat.7:21- 23; 2Tim3:5; Gal.5:19-23). Today Catholics continue to kill Catholics and Protestants kill Protestants, something true Christians would not do (1Jn.3:10,15; 4:8). Our hearts tell us that any religion who is willing to shoot their own members in warfare cannot possibly be trusted to teach Biblical truth.
It is very clear that ONLY Jehovah's Witnesses can provide irrefutable evidence that they are the True Christian Congregation (Mt.7:21- 23; 1Cor. 6:9-11; 2Tim3:5; Gal.5:19-23).
Yours,

No there is not.
Daniel 2:44 is talking about the Kingdom Jesus taught us to pray for in the Lords prayer.
Ephesians 4:5 New International Version
one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
Jehovah's Witnesses are that one faith.

Some religions have acknowledged the Christian obligation to preach in public places and from house to house (Acts 5:42; Matt. 10:11-14; Luke 9:6), although this is often left to a *limited* group of missionaries or clergy to fulfill... not every member.
However, every member who is identified as one of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES heeds Jesus' instructions when he told his followers to "make disciples of people of all the nations," and when Jesus himself set the example by "journeying from city to city and from village to village, preaching and declaring the good news of the kingdom of God." (Matthew 28:19, 20; Luke 8:1)
Concerning the extent of their preaching this good news of the Kingdom, Jehovah's Witnesses number over 7,300,000 and are in 236 lands worldwide.

Witnesses seem to think that the word "Preaching" exclusively means going door to door.
When you consider that the Catholic faith has over a billion members and each year baptizes twice the total number of Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide has a global presence and programs to look after the poor and needy as Jesus commanded.
One could argue that they more accurately fit this scripture.
If you are looking for Witnesses in that, check out verse eleven. Constant failed predictions that were assigned to God is a sign of false prophets.
The bible says that if you make a promise in God's name and it does not come true, than that is a false prophet that made these promises. It doesn't matter how many people you contact with false promises, it doesn't make them true.

Matthew was speaking of the preaching of the Gospel. Unfortunately the Jehovah Witnesses deny Christ is the the perfect Lamb of God and as a result deny the Gospel. If their heretical Arian belief is true then the world still awaits the Messiah as Jesus was not the perfect sacrifice prophesied and necessary. The preaching of the Gospel is not a prophetic teaching but instead it is an instruction to preach the Gospel always. And, the instruction of our Lord was given to His Church and not to Jehovah Witnesses who are a counterfeit sect to the true Church established by Jesus that the Bible says is the "pillar and foundation of the truth. That Church endures today as Jesus promised and continues to fulfill the great commission as it has for 2000 years. God bless!
In Christ
