A Special Gospel Movement

But just before the second coming of the Lord and the final harvest, the prophet saw a special gospel movement rise, bearing a message to all the world. In these prophecies we are dealing with symbols; and here, under the figure of angels preaching, must be represented a movement carried on by men; for not unto angels, but unto men has God committed the ministry of reconciliation. The prophet says of this movement of all-the-world evangelism preceding the coming of Christ:SPIAM 11.4

“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.” Revelation 14:6.SPIAM 11.5

As he listened in the vision, he heard the burden of the message that was preached by this world-wide missionary movement. He heard people everywhere making to men a proclamation, with a loud voice, “Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come.” Verse 7.SPIAM 12.1
