The Time for Earth's Final Warning is now

As I hear the drums of war beating all around the planet, and our nation's top government executives talk about Religious Freedom, or Religious Liberty, I am reminded that we should take advantage of our so far unrestricted (God-given) rights to preach the Three Angels Messages, and announce the soon coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  
We should give the world the Lord's Final Warning (Plea) of Revelation 14: 6-12, also compel them to come out of Babylon, and prepare a people to stand firmly on the Day of the Lord.
We must let no religious leaders or so-called brethren disuade us from our duty. 
If not now, when?
When Hate Crime Laws will impede us from freely announcing Present Truth and fulfilling our calling as stated in Ezekiel 3 and 33?

Today the church of God is free to carry forward to completion the divine plan for the salvation of a lost race. For many centuries God's people suffered a restriction of their liberties. The preaching of the gospel in its purity was prohibited, and the severest of penalties were visited upon those who dared disobey the mandates of men. As a consequence, the Lord's great moral vineyard was almost wholly unoccupied. The people were deprived of the light of God's word. The darkness of error and superstition threatened to blot out a knowledge of true religion. God's church on earth was a verily in captivity during this long period of relentless persecution as were the children of Israel held captive in Babylon during the period of the exile.

But, thank God, His church is no longer in bondage. To spiritual Israel have been restored the privileges accorded the people of God at the time of their deliverance from Babylon. In every part of the earth, men and women are responding to the Heaven-sent message which John the revelator prophesied would be proclaimed prior to the second coming of Christ: "Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come." Revelation 14:7.

No longer have the hosts of evil power to keep the church captive; for "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city," which hath "made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication;" and to spiritual Israel is given the message, "Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Verse 8; 18:4. As the captive exiles heeded the message, "Flee out of the midst of Babylon" (Jeremiah 51:6), and were restored to the Land of Promise, so those who fear God today are heeding the message to withdraw from spiritual Babylon, and soon they are to stand as trophies of divine grace in the earth made new, the heavenly Canaan.

Prophets and Kings, pp.714,715.

Brethren, let neither friend or foe discourage, impede you from preaching the Everlasting Gospel while we still have the ability to do so.

Seize the day.
As certain folks would say, Carpe Diem!
