NOT TO PREACH THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL?


There is a passage in my Bible that instruct me to preach the Everlasting Gospel everywhere. It's found in Revelation 14:6,7. It reads as follows:

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,

Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.



There is another instance in the New Testament that mentions the spreading of the Gospel:

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.

There is yet another mention in the book of Matthew, where the Lord Jesus sends His disciples to preach The Gospel of the Kingdom.

These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.


Matthew 10:5-8.


Until the present time I have found no greater obstruction to the execution of the Lord's instruction than the obstacles imposed by the countries that are either Islamic or Totalitarian Communist. These believe that they can control its citizen's consciences by impeding them to hear the 'real' truth. They either claim that religion is the opiate of the people, or that Allah is one, and Muhammad is his prophet; Great, but, you can not as a nation feed these philosophies as a matter of fact, or as a government accepted dogma. Nations are primarily borders between a culture and it's surroundings; It is never the owner of its constituents minds! A person's relationship with his Creator is not the domain of temporal authorities. The mind and body belong to the Creator. Therefore, a nation or regime can suggest what that government believes; but, to force its citizens to accept wholly its beliefs, is totally wrong, and arbitrary. I know for a fact that these statements mean nothing to the Despots, Tyrants, Sheiks, Mullahs, Ayatollahs, Prime-Ministers, and Emperors of these Totalitarian Nations where the regime's beliefs are the laws of the land. But, I hope and pray to God (YWHV), in Jesus' name, that some of their citizens may be reached by my solemn appeal to repent and come to the feet of the true redeemer of humanity: Jesus Christ the Lamb of God. It doesn't matter where you are from His sovereignty transcends all national boundaries. He is the Savior of all humanity. Not just western civilization. But, Asian, Pacific, Middle Eastern, African, Arab, Persian, Pashtun, Tamil, Sikh, Mongolian, Laplander, Maori, Inca, Maya, etc. He promote no culture; His kingdom is not of this world. He is coming very soon. He will reward all that have been faithful. Come to Jesus while there is still time. The end of all tyranny is near, dear saints.
