God’s Work is Finished, September 10
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for
a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Matthew 24:14
.
The solemn, sacred message of warning must be proclaimed in the most
difficult fields and in the most sinful cities, in every place where the light
of the great threefold gospel message has not yet dawned. Every one is to
hear the last call to the marriage supper of the Lamb. From town to town,
from city to city, from country to country, the message of present truth is to
be proclaimed, not with outward display, but in the power of the Spirit.
The message of the renewing power of God’s grace will be carried to
every country and clime, until the truth shall belt the world. Of the number
of them that shall be sealed will be those who have come from every nation
and kindred and tongue and people. From every country will be gathered
men and women who will stand before the throne of God and before the
Lamb, crying, “Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and
unto the Lamb.”
Revelation 7:10
.
The whole earth is to be illuminated with the glory of God’s truth. The
light is to shine to all lands and all peoples. And it is from those who have
received the light that it is to shine forth. The daystar has risen upon us, and
we are to flash its light upon the pathway of those in darkness.
A crisis is right upon us. We must now by the Holy Spirit’s power
proclaim the great truths for these last days. It will not be long before
everyone will have heard the warning and made his decision. Then shall
the end come.
The truth contained in the first, second, and third angel’s messages must
go to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people; it must lighten the darkness
of every continent, and extend to the islands of the sea. There must be no
delay in this work.
Our watchword is to be, Onward, ever onward! Angels of heaven will
go before us to prepare the way. Our burden for the regions beyond can
never be laid down till the whole earth is lightened with the glory of the
Lord.
