The Three Angels Message

Please prayerfully study this information as it is of utmost importance for everyone.

The three angels messages in Revelation 14, and the 'fourth' angel of Revelation 18 contains
God's final warning and call of mercy to the world, before the return of Jesus Christ. These
messages are of such great importance that they have just as much significance, if not more, as
the message Noah gave to the world before the flood. So any true believer should be greatly
stirred by this. Time is running out friends!

What interests me, is that these messages contain very strong and dire warnings. Not just for
unbelievers, but especially for those professing the Christian faith. And yet, these are messages
of love, because God doesn't just show His love for us by saying 'nice' things. He also shows His
love by warning us, and telling us of the consequences if we don't heed those warnings. But
why is that 'interesting'? Because if you give these warning messages of Revelation to the
professed Christian churches throughout the world today, the majority of them will tell you
that you are not being 'loving' or 'brotherly' and will reject those messages. But what did the
Lord say? "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten" (Revelation 3:19). So let us heed the
warnings!

All three messages are linked together and cannot be separated as they give a combined
warning to the world about who it is we should worship and obey. Please also see CHRIST AND
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS and THE ONE TRUE GOD IN THE 3 ANGELS MESSAGES in connection with
this page.

First Angel's Message

Revelation 14:6-7 .....'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, 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.'

Notice the angel has something to 'PREACH' to the world. So again, this shows it is symbolic of
God's true people giving this message, even though angels still have an important part in
helping to give light and power to us. And what important message to preach do they have?
'The everlasting gospel'. Did you know that the gospel is an 'everlasting' one, and that it was
preached and revealed throughout the Old Testament? See the amazing truth of - HOW THE
GOSPEL MESSAGE WAS REVEALED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.

What does this first angel (messenger) tell the people of the world? He tells the world to
...'fear God' - What does it mean to 'fear God'? Well, take a look at Proverbs 8:13 ... 'The fear
of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I
hate.' ... So living in the fear of God is to hate the things that God hates - SIN. Which means we
are to turn away from all manner of sin and wickedness - AND THAT INCLUDES WATCHING SIN
ON THE TV OR LISTENING TO SINFUL MUSIC! So to 'fear God' is to love righteousness. And
Jesus said in Matthew 5 that those who 'hunger and thirst after righteousness will be filled.'
Filled with the Spirit of God.

“give God glory' - How do we bring glory to God in our lives? Exodus 33:22 says that God's
glory passed by the mount where Moses was, and Exodus 34:6-7 reveals that glory - God's
character: merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. So we are
to SHOW God's character in our lives to the world, through the indwelling Spirit of Christ and
His righteousness.

'the hour of God's judgment has come' - Is the world being judged right now? Well, think about
this - When Jesus Christ returns at the second coming, what does the Bible say He has with
Him? Revelation 22:12 ...'And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every
man according as his work shall be.' So for Jesus to have His reward to give us when He
returns, what must have already taken place? Judgment! Right now in the heavenly sanctuary,
the cases for all people are being decided. Do you have any faith? If you do, are you actually
living in accordance with the faith you proclaim? This is what Jesus Christ and the Father are
judging RIGHT NOW! They are finding out if we are living in according with God's Word. You
can study this more in depth on our prophecy website, dealing with the 2300 DAY PROPHECY
OF DANIEL.

'worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.' - Do you
know what the angel is pointing us to here? He is pointing us to the CREATOR. And where do
we find the Creator revealed? We find Him revealed in the creation story and also in the 4th
commandment concerning the sabbath. So here we find EVOLUTION REJECTED! Also, this is a
call to keep the 4th commandment which states that the 7th day (our Saturday) is God's true
holy sabbath day. A commandment that has been 'forgotten' through the vain traditions of
men!

NOTE: Does the final message call us to worship the 'trinity' or '3 in 1 god'? No! It calls us to
fear God and worship HIM. Who is this 'Him'? It is the Father, the one true God (1 Corinthians
8:6, John 17:3, 1 Timothy 2:5) Please see our TRUTH ABOUT THE TRINITY page for more.

Exodus 20:8-11 ...'REMEMBER the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and
do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do
any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy
cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed
the sabbath day, and hallowed it.'

The 4th commandment is the only command that reveals who it is we worship. Keeping the
true 7th day sabbath (not Sunday) is a sign that we acknowledge God the Father as the Creator
and OUR GOD. It is a sign that we are giving allegiance to Him, rather than giving allegiance to
man and his 'traditions'.
Revelation 14:12 ...'Here is the patience of the saints, here are they that keep the
commandments of God AND the faith of Jesus.' - Here are the ones who have submitted to the
ways of Jesus Christ, and have allowed Jesus to dwell IN them and change their hearts
(Galatians 2:20) - Here are the ones who are clothed with the righteous garments of Christ.

Please see BIBLE EVIDENCE THAT THE 7TH DAY SABBATH COMMANDMENT IS STILL BINDING.

Second Angel's Message

Revelation 14:8 .....'And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that
great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.'

We see another warning of "Babylon" being fallen in Revelation 18:2-3 .....'And he cried
mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the
habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful
bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the
earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich
through the abundance of her delicacies.'

Now the majority of people wrongly identify who Babylon is, and therefore cannot respond to
this urgent message to come out of Babylon. If you look at our WHO IS THE WHORE OF
BABYLON page, you will see that the 'MOTHER of harlots' is none other than the Roman
Catholic Church. But is the pronouncement in Revelation 14:8 and Revelation 18:2 of Babylon
now being 'fallen' and 'becoming' the habitation of every foul spirit, a pronouncement of the
Roman Catholic Church? No. And I will tell you why.

The fact that this call is to a 'body' that is become fallen, means that at some point it was in
good standing with God. Yet the Roman Catholic Church has been in an apostate, 'fallen'
condition right from the very beginning of the church. So to say that the Roman Catholic
Church is 'now fallen' and has 'become' the habitation of devils, is just the same as saying that
Paganism, or Hinduism, or any other false religion has 'become fallen'. And that, as we know is
not possible, because these false religions have always been the 'habitation of devils'.

"And since the fall here introduced is a moral one, it must apply to some branch of Babylon
besides, or outside of, the Pagan or Papal divisions, for from the beginning of their history,
Paganism has been a false religion, and the Papacy an apostate one." (Uriah Smith, Daniel and
the Revelation, p.664)

"The message of Revelation 14, announcing the fall of Babylon must apply to religious bodies
that were once pure and have become corrupt. Since this message follows the warning of the
judgment, it must be given in the last days; therefore it cannot refer to the Roman Church
alone, for that church has been in a fallen condition for many centuries." (E.White, Great
Controversy, p.382-383)
So this specific end time call for God's people to come out of Babylon, isn't a specific message
for the Roman Catholic Church or any other false religion, because the call has always been for
people to come out of false religion, and to turn to the one true God. No, this call is a specific
call for God's very own people to come out of a 'body' that has BECOME fallen and has
BECOME the habitation of every foul spirit. And what 'body' is that? The fallen Protestant
churches, which have rejected truth and are uniting in this ecumenical movement with the
'mother whore', the Roman Catholic Church.

The churches have been progressively falling further into apostasy by "fornicating" with the
world and allowing the heathen world to influence their "worship". Part of this apostasy is the
teaching that we can be saved IN our sins, when the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus saves us
FROM our sins. In other words, when we truly come to Christ Jesus and accept His
righteousness for salvation, the evidence of our true faith is turning away from our sinful
nature and keeping the commandments of God. And the third angel confirms that the true
saints are those who are keeping God's commandments through Jesus Christ living IN them.
Thus they are accounted 'righteous' before God in Jesus.

Any unity with these fallen churches is a rejection of God's truth and will see us receive of the
plagues. So this is a vital message to heed. COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE

Third Angel's Message

Revelation 14:9-12 .....'And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man
worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same
shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup
of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the
holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up
for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image,
and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are
they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.'

This is the most solemn end time message, and we must make every effort to search and seek
the truth on this matter. But we cannot look to man for understanding. We must look to God.
Fall on your knees before God and pray that He will guide you to His truth and open your eyes
on this matter.

It is amazing that so many people have been deceived into thinking that the mark of the beast
is simply some sort of microchip or ID card. This is more Hollywood fiction than Bible truth!
Yes, technology will be used to help enforce the mark. But this issue is much, much deeper
than just some material thing. The third angels' message above actually gives us the clue as to
what the mark of the beast will be. First the angel describes what will happen to those who
take the mark and end up "spiritually" worshipping the beast. Then he says something of great
importance and truth. He says that the "saints", the ones who DON'T take the mark, are the
ones "keeping the ten commandments of God and the faith OF Jesus".
The third angel's message is ALL about who we look to. Those who look to man for
understanding, help and power and give their allegiance to man, will be deceived by man and
end up receiving the beast's mark. Whereas those who look to Christ and Christ ALONE for
teaching, understanding, help and power and give their allegiance to Christ as their leader will
not be deceived and will not receive the beast's mark. This is vital - Please see our page WE
ARE COMPLETE IN CHRIST.

"Several have written to me, inquiring if the message of justification by faith is the third angel's
message, and I have answered, It is the third angel's message in verity ... God has light for his
people, and all who will accept it will see the sinfulness of remaining in a lukewarm condition;
they will heed the counsel of the True Witness when he says, 'Be zealous therefore, and
repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I
will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." (E.White, Review and Herald, April
1, 1890)

Why is 'justification by faith' the third angel's message 'in verity'? I thought it was all about the
'Sunday law'? Yes, the Papacy is pushing to enforce it's Sunday law around the world in
opposition to God's holy 7th day Sabbath. But what is the main crux of the third angel's
message? WHY will people receive the mark of the beast? Because they looked to man for
teaching, understanding and help. And they give their allegiance to man, due to their lack of
faith. Which means they cannot be justified and will receive the beast's mark. But those who
truly have faith in Jesus will look to Christ alone for teaching, understanding and help. They will
give their FULL allegiance to Christ and through their faith, will see the sinfulness of trusting in
man and remaining in a lukewarm condition. Therefore they will be LIVING the 'faith of Jesus'
and will be keeping the commandments of God as a result of their faith. THIS is the crux of the
third angel's message.

The 'saints' (Rev.14:12) are those who are clothed with the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST

Make no mistake, Satan is seeking to get his Sunday law enforced around the world, and he is
using clever tactics like this climate change movement and 'family time' to persuade the world
into 'keeping Sunday as a day of rest'. The arch deceiver has deceived the Christian world into
believing that we need not keep the 4th commandment anymore, or that it has been changed,
when in reality the seventh day sabbath is as important today as it was when God instituted it
at creation week. But guess what? Satan has also deceived 7th day Sabbath keepers into
following man and there will be MANY 'Sabbath keepers' today who will also receive the mark
of the beast! How?

The majority of Seventh-day Adventists and other 7th day Sabbath keepers today are following
MAN instead of Christ. They are putting their trust in man and his teaching, instead of
following God's Word and trusting in His teaching. And they are doing this by worshipping a
god that is of man's invention - the false trinity god! Instead of worshipping the one true God
of the Bible, THE FATHER, and HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. So even the majority of so called
'Sabbath keepers' are looking to man, instead of Christ and His truth. Can you see how this
issue is MUCH deeper than just the 'Sunday law'?
The time is at hand friend, and we can no longer put our trust in man, or ourselves. We MUST
put our complete trust in Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. We MUST look to Jesus alone
for teaching, understanding and power. We MUST surrender all to Him and give our allegiance
to Him alone. THEN our Heavenly Father can work with us through His Son and give us His
Spirit to help and guide us in the truth. THEN we will not be deceived by man or the beast, and
not receive it's mark.

Revelation 14:12 ...'Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith OF Jesus.'
