Thus, it will take a certain caliber of preacher to preach the three angel’s messages with no fear or dread, and such preachers obviously must never be swayed by popular majorities, or induced to take bribes in order to water down the truth.

Isaiah 30:9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: 10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
