The everlasting gospel to be restored in the lattter days

Today's scripture mastery comes from the book of Revelation 14:6-7

 6 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, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

The book of Revelation has a lot of prophesy in it that will happen in the "latter days."  This is one of those things that John prophesied would happen.

We believe that this is one prophesy that is mostly complete.  The angel has already come to restore the everlasting gospel to the world.  We have again on the earth the "fullness of the gospel"  I said that this is mostly complete, because the gospel is not yet being freely taught in all countries (though there are more and more of them each day), and there are members of our church in every nation around the world.

It is amazing to see how the hand of the Lord works in bringing forth his Gospel to those countries that have in the past been closed to it.  It is not very long ago that the "Iron Curtain" fell, and the Berlin wall came down.  We now have missionaries in countries that many thought would never be there.  My brother in law served his mission in Russia for example.  China is starting to open up little by little.  I was living in Rochester, MN a few years ago, and while I was there, there was a doctor from China that was on a medical exchange at the Mayo Clinic.  While he was here, he learned of Christ, and the church.  He joined our church, and has since returned to China.  The Chinese government has allowed him to practice his new faith, though does not yet allow him to share it with anybody outside of his immediate family.  I believe that it won't be long before this faithful man will be allowed to freely share what he has learned with those around him.
