City-Centric

The first directive is that the Galilee Protocol must be City-Centric. “Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease among the people.”1 Even more specifically, Jesus said “I must preach the kingdom of God to [the cities], for therefore am I sent.”2 Luke says, “[Jesus] went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God.”3

“The work in the cities is the essential work for this time. When the cities are worked as God would have them, the result will set into operation a mighty movement such as we have not yet witnessed. God calls for self-sacrificing men converted to the truth to let their light shine forth in clear, distinct rays.”4 “As a people we need to hasten the work in the cities, which has been hindered for a lack of workers and means and a spirit of consecration. At this time, the people of God need to turn their hearts fully to Him; for the end of all things is at hand. They need to humble their minds, and be attentive to the will of the Lord, working with earnest desire to do that which God has shown must be done to warn the cities of their impending doom.”5

“O that God's people had a sense of the impending destruction of thousands of cities, now almost given to idolatry.”6 "When God shall bid His angels loose the winds, there will be such a scene of strife as no pen can picture... A moment of respite has been graciously given us of God. Every power lent us of heaven is to be used in doing the work assigned us by the Lord for those who are perishing in ignorance... God's people should make a mighty intercession to Him for help now. And they must put their whole energies into the effort to proclaim the truth during the respite that has been granted.”7 “In this work all the angels of heaven are ready to cooperate. All the resources of heaven are at the command of those who are seeking to save the lost.”8 “Angels have long been waiting for human agents... to cooperate with them in the great work to be done.”9
