THE FINAL WARNING

Our message: The Lord is coming and we should be focus on Jesus and heaven! We must keep His holy law and His holy Sabbath because He is our creator. We must prepare to endure what will come with the conviction that Christ has saved us. We will suffer but with Jesus we will overcome because He already has.

Heaven must become a reality, a necessity in our lives. Our suffering will lead us to cry out day for Jesus to return so we may dwell with Him in heaven forever!

If we must focus our time, our strength and all we have on something let us focus on uniting with the Holy Spirit and preaching the gospel so that our greatest dream, heaven, can come true!
“The message will be carried not so much by argument as by the deep conviction of the Spirit of God.”

“Different periods in the history of the church have each been marked by the development of some special truth, adapted to the necessities of God's people at that time. Every new truth has made its way against hatred and opposition; those who were blessed with its light were tempted and tried. The Lord gives a special truth for the people in an emergency. Who dare refuse to publish it? He commands His servants to present the last invitation of mercy to the world. They cannot remain silent, except at the peril of their souls. Christ's ambassadors have nothing to do with consequences. They must perform their duty and leave results with God.”

“No man can serve God without enlisting against himself the opposition of the hosts of darkness. Evil angels will assail him, alarmed that his influence is taking the prey from their hands.”

"All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." 2 Timothy 3:12.

“Fearful is the issue to which the world is to be brought. The powers of earth, uniting to war against the commandments of God, will decree that "all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond" (Revelation 13:16)”

“In this time of persecution the faith of the Lord's servants will be tried. They have faithfully given the warning, looking to God and to His word alone. God's Spirit, moving upon their hearts, has constrained them to speak. Stimulated
with holy zeal, and with the divine impulse strong upon them, they entered upon the performance of their duties without coldly calculating the consequences of speaking to the people the word which the Lord had given them. They have not consulted their temporal interests, nor sought to preserve their reputation or their lives. Yet when the storm of opposition and reproach bursts upon them, some, overwhelmed with consternation, will be ready to exclaim: "Had we foreseen the consequences of our words, we would have held our peace." They are hedged in with difficulties. Satan assails them with fierce temptations. The work which they have undertaken seems far beyond their ability to accomplish. They are threatened with destruction. The enthusiasm which animated them is gone; yet they cannot turn back. Then, feeling their utter helplessness, they flee to the Mighty One for strength. They remember that the words which they have spoken were not theirs, but His who bade them give the warning. God put the truth into their hearts, and they could not forbear to proclaim it.”
JESUS IS COMING SOON!
