Chapter Five - Importance of the Sabbath

Book: God's Plan for Mankind

Now I wonder how many thousands are out there in addition to the ones who are beginning to understand, who have read the Bible on their own and are keeping the Sabbath.

Let’s look at something very important here in Mark 13 and Matthew 24. I know when I first thought about this, and when I first let it penetrate into my mind to get some of the thinking of God, rather than the thinking of men about what they think God says; because some people have said, “Well you know, we’ve published the gospel around the world already. They have already had their witness.” But those people are long since gone and the magazine they claimed that did it, now has been reduced in circulation from 8 million to a million and a half, and the world is still going on. But here is what it says right here, verse 10 Mark 13, it’s talking about the end times. “And the gospel must first be published among all nations.” What do you have in your hands? You have the gospel. The gospel being published in all nations refers to the Word of God. [It] does not refer to someone preaching about the gospel. The gospel will be preached in all the world, Matthew 24 tells us.
