Key Text: Revelation 14: 6-12
- Revelation 14:6-12.
In every epoch of human history,
God has given individuals the
opportunity to accept the Savior,
faithfully warning them of coming
judgments and providing a way of
escape. Before the end of time, God
gives His last warning to
earth’s final generation. This
warning is portrayed in revelation 14
as messages from three angels flying
in the sky.
- Revelation 14: 6,
7. The first angel proclaims:
The
everlasting gospel. Since the Garden of Eden,
there has always been only one true
gospel-salvation by grace. Genesis 3:15; mark
16:15; Acts 4:12.
The
hour of God’s judgment has come. Daniel
8:14. This judgment began in 1844 at the
close of the 2,300-day prophecy.
The
need to worship God and give Him glory as the
Creator. The seventh-day Sabbath points us to
God as the Creator and re-Creator of our
lives. Exodus 20:8-11. We give Him glory by
worshiping Him on the day He has set aside as
His holy Sabbath day.
- Revelation 14:8.
The second angel proclaims:
Babylon
has fallen. Babylon represents spiritual
apostasy and confusion. It is the opposite of
God’s faithful, last-day remnant church.
Revelation 18:1-4.
- Revelation 14:
9-11. The third angel proclaims:
That
the “beast” –the power opposed
to God in the last days-has a mark that
denotes its authority. This mark involves a
counterfeit day of worship in distinction to
the Creator’s seventh-day Sabbath.
Revelation 13:6, 16, 17; Daniel 7:25. Those
who accept this mark in their right hand or
their forehead give their allegiance to the
beast.
A
warning against receiving the mark of the
beast, accepting any man-made system of false
worship or receiving a tattoo that is put on
your body physically.
The
strongest warning to be found anywhere in the
Bible.
- Revelation 14:12.
The purpose of these three
angels’ messages is to warn us
to error and identify truth. Those
who accept this final warning from
God constitute a worldwide movement
of people from all religious faiths
who follow God’s Word.
- Revelation 22:14. God’s
faithful people will give Him their
loyalty and be obedient to His
commandments.
TA-End.
