The Road to Rome

[Steve Billiter]

The 3 angels messages will be preached in Rome, Italy in a substantive seminar series by Shawn Boonstra of It Is Written beginning February 6th. Please join me in praying for and supporting this event. http://rome.itiswritten.com/ Here is the website for the event as Pastor Boonstra will give video updates of the campaigns progress and one can sign up for the newsletters.

Some months ago, in the midst of Pastor Boonstra’s Los Angeles seminar, as he asked the people to rise to their feet for a Sabbath commitment; at that exact instant an earthquake hit as 2500 people stood up. It was as if God added an exclamation point to the stand for His law. http://www.unlockthesigns.com/

We can bet that Satan will especially oppose this event that goes into his very throne room. Courage and boldness with Christ leading the way will carry the last messages of God’s mercy to a dying world.

God Bless! Steve

Maybe the earthquake was a warning sign instead.

At least that's how the "other side" would interpret it.

I would agree with that. The signs of the times are all around us. That is why the three angels messages is going to Rome February 6th, by Shawn Boonstra of It Is Written.

I meant like a warning sign against Boonstra's teachings.

Not that I think he's wrong... he's one of my favorite TV preachers. But I'm just saying that someone who was slightly predisposed against Adventism would take that earthquake as a sign from God saying not to believe in this stuff.

If you were at a Shepherd's Rod seminar (or whatever you would tend to disagree with) and there was an earthquake, wouldn't you take it as a sign from God not to believe in their teachings?

But anyway, that's sort of irrelevant to the main point, and I'm glad Pastor Boonstra is going to Rome. :)

YES I will be praying for this semiar in ROME

Amen! This is a part of the good solid ministries we still have in the church that do the real work of God. I believe in supporting and working with them in concert to help bring in the kingdom of God!

Others spend copious amounts of wasted time tearing down the church, the law, the prophet, and the Adventist pillars of faith God gave to bring the church out of the wine of Babylon as Jesus entered the Most Holy in 1844.

Rouse People to Preparation.--We are living in the close of this earth's history. . . . Prophecy is fulfilling. Soon Christ will come with power and great glory. We have no time to lose. Let the message sound forth in earnest words of warning. {Ev 217.1}

We must persuade men everywhere to repent and flee from the wrath to come. They have souls to save or to lose. Let there be no indifference in this matter. The Lord calls for workers who are filled with an earnest, decided purpose. Tell the people to be instant in season and out of season. With the words of life upon your lips go forth to tell men and women that the end of all things is at hand. {Ev 217.2}

Let us keep our souls in the love of God. The note of warning must be given. The truth must not languish upon our lips. We must rouse people to immediate preparation, for we little know what is before us. My faith is as strong as ever that we are living in the last remnant of time. Let every teacher present an open door before all who will come to Jesus, repenting of their sins.--Letter 105, 1903. {Ev 217.3}

Proclaim It in Every Land.--I have been instructed to trace words of warning for our brethren and sisters who are in danger of losing sight of the special work for this time. . . . In every land we are to herald the

218

second coming of Christ, in the language of the revelator proclaiming: "Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him."--Testimonies, vol. 8, p. 116. (1904) {Ev 217.4}

The time has come when the message of Christ's soon coming is to sound throughout the world.-- Testimonies, vol. 9, p. 24. (1909) {Ev 218.1}

Message, "The Lord Is Coming."--The Lord is coming. Lift up your heads and rejoice. Oh, we would think that those who hear the joyful news, who claim to love Jesus, would be filled with joy unutterable and full of glory. This is the good, the joyful news which should electrify every soul, which should be repeated in our homes, and told to those whom we meet on the street. What more joyful news can be communicated! . . . {Ev 218.2}

The voice of the true watchman needs now to be heard all along the line, "The morning cometh, and also the night." The trumpet must give a certain sound, for we are in the great day of the Lord's preparation.--Letter 55, 1886. {Ev 218.3}

No Time to Lose.--Sound an alarm through the land. Tell the people that the day of the Lord is near, and hasteth greatly. Let none be left unwarned. We might have been in the place of the poor souls who are in error. According to the truth that we have received above others, we are debtors to impart the same to them. {Ev 218.4}

We have no time to lose. The powers of darkness are working with intense energy, and with stealthy tread Satan is advancing to take those who are now asleep, as a wolf taking his prey. We have warnings now which we may give, a work now which we may do, but soon it will be more difficult than we imagine. . . .

{Ev 218.5}

The coming of the Lord is nearer than when we first believed. The great controversy is nearing its end. Every report of calamity by sea or land is a testimony to the fact that the end of all things is at hand. Wars and rumors of wars declare it. Is there a Christian whose pulse does not beat with quickened action as he anticipates the great events opening before us? {Ev 219.1}

The Lord is coming. We hear the footsteps of an approaching God, as He comes to punish the world for its iniquity. We are to prepare the way for Him by acting our part in getting a people ready for that great day.--Review and Herald, Nov. 12, 1914. {Ev 219.2}

Living Power Must Attend Message.--Living power must attend the message of Christ's second appearing. We must not rest until we see many souls converted to the blessed hope of the Lord's return. In the days of the apostles the message that they bore wrought a real work, turning souls from idols to serve the living God. The work to be done today is just as real, and the truth is just as much truth; only we are to give the message with as much more earnestness as the coming of the Lord is nearer. The message for this time is positive, simple, and of the deepest importance. We must act like men and women who believe it. Waiting, watching, working, praying, warning the world--this is our work. . . . {Ev 219.3}

All heaven is astir, engaged in preparing for the day of God's vengeance, the day of Zion's deliverance. The time of tarrying is almost ended. The pilgrims and strangers who have so long been seeking a better country are almost home. I feel as if I must cry aloud, Homeward bound! Rapidly we are nearing the time when Christ will come to gather His redeemed to Himself.--Review and Herald, Nov. 13, 1913.
