The Three Angels Message is the last message in
history. It is a final warning call, sent by God to all the world, to
repent of sin and disobedience and return to God before it is forever too
late; for just ahead is
THE
TERRIBLE STORM!
DATE
OF PUBLICATION: JULY 2003
Here is the
Bible/Spirit of Prophecy answer to a very important question:
Does God ever kill
the incorrigibly wicked?
It will be the
worst storm in human history.
It is the storm of Gods wrath against sin. The largest and the last. Every
special outpouring of Gods judgments upon this world has always been
preceded by a special pleading call to repentance and a warning to flee
from sin. And our time is no exception--except that, in our
time, the last warning against sin that will ever take place is to be
given. That warning is the Three Angels Message. The Advent people have
been assigned the task of giving it. Yet, at this crucial time,
some among us are saying that the warning is in error; for God has no
judgment, no wrath, and no punishment of sin as is described in Scripture.
This present
study, The Terrible Storm, has been produced to clearly establish,
from the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, that our historic beliefs on
this topic are indeed correct. We dare not forsake the Third Angels
Message for another message. vf
