A great religious awakening is prophesied in the word of God about the soon coming of Jesus. Over in Revelation Chapter 14:6,7. we read "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, kindred, tongue, and people. saying, with a loud voice, Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of his judgement is come; and worship him that made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Here we see how significant and urgent this call is, that heaven uses an angel to bring this message to earth. The angel is in flight denoting the swiftness and urgency of the message, this angel is flying in the "midst of heaven" uttering this message with a "loud voice" Indicative that all will hear,and it will go throughout the whole earth, hence the phrase "to every kindred, nation, tongue and people." The rapidity and global extent of this angel message must not be taken lightly.
The everlasting gospel is the message of salvation, which has been preached in all ages, but this particular message comes to us today who are living in the last days of earth's history. The grace of God is offered to every soul, But if men waste their opportunities in self pleasing, they will indeed separate themselves from everlasting life.
To live for self is to perish, for selfishness, covetousness, the desire to benefit only for self sake destroys the soul. "Take heed, and beware of covetousness; for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." Luke 12:15
