"Gino, Urgency of the hour"


 
Thank you Gino for your message last week, and
for your good question at the end.

You referred to 3 notable issues:

1. Our hesitancy to mention hell in our conversation with others.

That is a real fear in these Last Days of the Church age, Laodicea. Yet we must overcome that fear, and be mature in our Faith.
A perfect love (of Jesus) casts out fear.
We must pray for courage when witnessing to others, myself included.
We must practice tact and discretion, using calm reasonable logic, trying to stay as objective as possible. Not necessarily to win an opposing view, but to plant a seed. 
It will come forth if the other person is open minded.

2. There will be 3 angels going globally around the earth with the message of refusing the 666 Mark of the Beast.

I'm glad you mentioned that every person on earth will hear the message in their own language. Sort of like from Mt.Sinai on Pentecost.

I think this will happen after the Rapture and even after the 144,000 will have fulfilled their Commission.
At that point earth is left without a witness.

And God bless those angels for obeying Him and acting in our behalf to help save souls !

The only hindrance that I can think of that will confuse people on earth, is the fact that 
"Blue Beam"--- with its fake heavenly images and fake satellite messages--will confuse people as to what is really a message from heaven, and what is false
counterfeit. Only Discernment will reveal.

3.THE HEZEKIAH COMPLEX

I agree with you when you mentioned the fact that there are those who will be raptured and yet have a mindset that tells them that since we aren't here because of the Rapture, then there is no need to make the 666 any of our concern. They couldn't be further from the truth.

We are all Commissioned to reach out to others, and especially to warn them of the dangers of hell.

In 2 Kings 20:19, the prophet tells King Hezikiah, that judgment will come to Israel because King Hezekiah had revealed all the governmental  departments to the Babylonians, lacking much discretion.  But the judgment would not come until after King Hezekiah's death.

King Hezekiah was greatly relieved to know that he would not be included in the judgement, even though his heritage and people would be.

And that is the wrongful attitude that many Christians have...."let those in the Great Tribulation suffer and take the Mark. I won't be here so it's none of my concern." Wrong.

That attitude needs to be corrected and we do need to warn. Ezekiel 33. Ezekiel 3. Ezekiel 18.

We must pray for our relatives and friends:
"God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you.
1 Samuel 12: 23.

Here is how I witness 666 in public:

Whenever I am out shopping and come to the cash register, the clerk asks me if I have one of their reward cards , I always say,
 "No, too much tracking, like the 666 Mark of the Beast."
They ask, "The What ?" Then I hand them a free pocket size New Testament and tell them it's in the last book of the Bible, chapter 13. Then I pay in cash and be on my way. I let the Holy Spirit do the rest.

Sometimes, I just walk up to people and ask them if they would like a free bible. The majority want one, maybe out of curiosity.

It takes a little courage to go public, but God always helps.
It doesn't take ability, it takes availability, as Chuck Smith always said.

Thank you, Gino, for your question...All of your questions are good.
