Then I saw another angel Rev . 8:13flying in the midst of heaven , Eph . 3:9having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth — Rev . 13:7to every nation , tribe , tongue , and people — 7saying with a loud voice , Rev . 11:18 “ Fear God and give glory to Him , for the hour of His judgment has come ; Neh . 9:6and worship Him who made heaven and earth , the sea and springs of water .”

14 : 6 , 7 NKJV
HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE ! Aren ’ t we glad that there is a resurrection and that Jesus became the First Born from the dead ? Jesus broke the bonds of death and cancelled the eternal funeral for all the saved . Without the birth , death , resurrection and ascension of Jesus back to heaven of the Messiah , we will have no hope and our faith will all be in vain . Thank God he loves us so much !
In the 1840s a Baptist ex-Army captain , William
|
Miller , started preaching the Good News that “ Jesus is coming soon ”, in the eastern United States . He based his message in the 14th chapter of Revelation about the three angels ’ messages and of course , John 14 : 1-3 . From east to west , north and south , William Miller preached the Good News in America . In the Southern hemisphere , a Catholic priest named Father Lacunza started preaching the same message and many thousands heard about the imminence of Jesus ’ coming back again . This time he will come tin glory to claim all the saints on earth , the living and the dead . All the dead on earth who are saved will be resurrected and join the living on a journey to heaven for a thousand year-vacation . Many people from all walks of life and denomination believed on the Word . We continue with the Statement of Beliefs . |
THE REMNANT ’ S MESSAGE
“ At the heart of the
|
remnant ’ s message is the eternal Gospel . God has always had only one way for men and women to be saved : faith in His gift made available through Jesus Christ . Those who are chosen will lift high the cross of Christ so every one can see it and live ( John 3 : 14- 18 ). The distinctive nature of the three angels ’ messages – calling attention to the widespread apostasy against the law of God , the beginning of the judgment , and the imminence of the end- is what gives the proclamation of the gospel its singular urgency and power today .
The remnant is a prophetic reaping movement . God has faithful believers all over the world , members of many denominations and religions . Under the pressure of earth ’ s final events , the central issues in the conflict between Christ and Satan will be seen more clearly , and the dividing
|
line between the followers of each one will become more and more apparent . As a result , the remnant will become a nucleus around which God ’ s true people from all parts of the world will gather < Revelation 18 : 1-4 . By the time of Christ ’ s second coming the world be divided in just two groups .
EVERY BELIEVER IS A MESSENGER
“ In these final days of earth ’ s history , every believer is called to become a part of God ’ s remnant people . Each one is called to assume the privileges and responsibilities of God ’ s end-time church in the world . Above all else , these people will exalt Jesus Christ and His work of salvation , demonstrating through a living faith that they have accepted their salvation . They will present to men and women every where the validity of God ’ s law-so despised by modern society — and their duty to keep it . By word and deed they will bear witness to the
