Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
[The Great Controversy pp 594] When God sends to men warnings so important that they are represented as proclaimed by holy angels flying in the midst of heaven, he requires every person endowed with reasoning powers to heed the message. The fearful judgments denounced against the worship of the beast and his image, [Revelation 14:9-11.] should lead all to a diligent study of the prophecies to learn what the mark of the beast is, and how they are to avoid receiving it.
But the masses of the people turn away their ears from hearing the truth, and are turned unto fables. The apostle Paul declared, looking down to the last days, “The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine.” [2 Timothy 4:3.] That time has fully come.
So, yes, it would involve risk; but as Christ left us an example for us to follow, we should determine even now, that come what may, regardless of the risk, we will be faithful to truth and duty, just like the good Samaritan, who once rescued that wounded person who fell among thieves. Thus, we’ll end with a sobering passage of scripture to be given due consideration, as the outpouring of the promised latter rain is scheduled to bring all the inhabitants of earth to the valley of decision spoken of by the prophet Joel.
Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
