Urgency for this emergency

2. Is it important to know the
time?
• 1Chronicles 12:32

3. Serious Time to Work
1) Revelation 12:10-12
2) Mark 13: 19, 20
3) Romans 9:27,28
4) Matthew 24:14
5) 2 Corinthians 4:6, 7
6) Romans 13: 11,12
7) Ephesians 6:13-15
8) Revelation 6:17

4. Does our adversary knows
what to do.
• Revelation 12:10-12

5. As a result of his almost
unquenchable anger, God will
have to cut his time short.
• Mark 13: 19, 20

6. The unceasing anger of the devil
+the slowness of God’s people =
few will be saved.
Romans 9:27,28

7. “Angel,” “fly”
• We will look at two key words in verse 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,

8. We are the “Angels”
• This message is declared to be a part of "the
everlasting gospel." The work of preaching
the gospel has not been committed to
angels, but has been entrusted to men.
Holy angels have been employed in directing
this work, they have in charge the great
movements for the salvation of men; but the
actual proclamation of the gospel is
performed by the servants of Christ upon
the earth. {Great Controversy 312.1}

9. What is meant by the flight?
• And the angel's flight "in the midst of
heaven," the "loud voice" with which the
warning is uttered, and its promulgation to
all "that dwell on the earth,"--"to every
nation, and kindred, and tongue, and
people,"--give evidence of the rapidity
and world-wide extent of the movement. --
Great Controversy 355

10. What is meant by the flight?
• When will the church do her appointed
work? She is represented as an angel of
light, flying through heaven with the
everlasting gospel to be proclaimed to the
world. This represents the speed and
directness with which the church is to
prosecute her work. --Medical Ministry,
131

11. Death Stupor from Satan
• God's people must take warning and discern
the signs of the times. The signs of Christ's
coming are too plain to be doubted; and in view of
these things every one who professes the truth
should be a living preacher. God calls upon all,
both preachers and people, to awake. All
heaven is astir. The scenes of earth's history are
fast closing. We are amid the perils of the last days.
Greater perils are before us, and yet we are not
awake. This lack of activity and earnestness in
the cause of God is dreadful. This death stupor
is from Satan.--Testimonies, vol. 1, pp. 260, 261.

12. Inactivity
• Satan is now seeking to hold God's
people in a state of inactivity, to keep
them from acting their part in spreading
the truth, that they may at last be
weighed in the balance and found
wanting.--Testimonies, vol. 1, p. 260.

13. Marching Orders
The duke of Wellington was once present where a
party of Christian men were discussing the
possibility of success in missionary effort among
the heathen. They appealed to the duke to say
whether in his judgment such efforts were likely
to prove a success commensurate to the cost.
The old soldier replied: "Gentlemen, what are
your marching orders? Success is not the question
for you to discuss. If I read your orders aright,
they run thus, 'Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature.' Gentlemen, obey
your marching orders."--Gospel Workers, p. 115

14. Marching Orders
"The great day of the Lord is near, it is near,
and hasteth greatly." Zephaniah 1:14.
Let us be shod with the gospel shoes,
ready to march at a moment's notice.--
Testimonies, vol. 9, p. 48.

15. Harder and more Dangerous
• We have no time to lose. The end is near.
The passage from place to place to spread
the truth will soon be hedged with
dangers on the right hand and on the left.
Everything will be placed to obstruct the
way of the Lord's messengers, so that
they will not be able to do that which it
is possible for them to do now. .--
Testimonies, vol. 6, p. 22.

16. Harder and more Dangerous
• What shall I say to arouse the remnant
people of God? I was shown that
dreadful scenes are before us; Satan and
his angels are bringing all their powers to
bear upon God's people. He knows that
if they sleep a little longer, he is sure of
them, for their destruction is certain.--
Testimonies, vol. 1, p. 263.

17. Not one in a hundred
• Not one in a hundred among us
is doing anything beyond
engaging in common, worldly
enterprises. We are not half
awake to the worth of the souls
for whom Christ died.-- Testimonies,
vol. 8, p. 148.

18. Was this effort?
• In a town in New England a well was
being dug. When the work was nearly
finished, while one man was still at the
bottom, the earth caved in and buried
him. Instantly the alarm was sent out,
and mechanics, farmers, merchants,
lawyers, hurried breathlessly to the
rescue. Ropes, ladders, spades, and
shovels were brought by eager, willing
hands. "Save him, O save him!" was the
cry. {Christian Service 94.1}

19. Was this effort?
• Men worked with desperate energy, till the
sweat stood in beads upon their brows and their
arms trembled with the exertion. At length a
pipe was thrust down, through which they
shouted to the man to answer if he were still
alive. The response came, "Alive, but make haste.
It is fearful in here." With a shout of joy they
renewed their efforts, and at last he was
reached and saved, and the cheer that went up
seemed to pierce the very heavens. "He is
saved!" echoed through every street in the town.

20. Was this effort?
• Was this too great zeal and interest, too great
enthusiasm, to save one man? It surely was not;
but what is the loss of temporal life in comparison
with the loss of a soul? If the threatened loss of a
life will arouse in human hearts a feeling so
intense, should not the loss of a soul arouse even
deeper solicitude in men who claim to realize the
danger of those apart from Christ? Shall not the
servants of God show as great zeal in laboring
for the salvation of souls as was shown for the life
of that one man buried in a well? Christian Service, 94
