Heralding the Second Advent
Rouse People to Preparation—We are living in the close of this
earth’s history.... Prophecy is fulfilling. Soon Christ will come with
power and great glory. We have no time to lose. Let the message sound
forth in earnest words of warning.
We must persuade men everywhere to repent and flee from the
wrath to come. They have souls to save or to lose. Let there be no
indifference in this matter. The Lord calls for workers who are filled
with an earnest, decided purpose. Tell the people to be instant in
season and out of season. With the words of life upon your lips go
forth to tell men and women that the end of all things is at hand.
Let us keep our souls in the love of God. The note of warning must
be given. The truth must not languish upon our lips. We must rouse
people to immediate preparation, for we little know what is before us.
My faith is as strong as ever that we are living in the last remnant of
time. Let every teacher present an open door before all who will come
to Jesus, repenting of their sins.—
Letter 105, 1903
.
Proclaim It in Every Land—I have been instructed to trace words
of warning for our brethren and sisters who are in danger of losing
sight of the special work for this time.... In every land we are to
herald the second coming of Christ, in the language of the revelator
[218]
proclaiming: “Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see
Him.”—

The time has come when the message of Christ’s soon com-
ing is to sound throughout the world.—

9:24
(1909).
Message, “The Lord Is Coming”—The Lord is coming. Lift
up your heads and rejoice. Oh, we would think that those who hear
the joyful news, who claim to love Jesus, would be filled with joy
unutterable and full of glory. This is the good, the joyful news which
should electrify every soul, which should be repeated in our homes,
and told to those whom we meet on the street. What more joyful news
can be communicated! ...
