a message of love ,mercy and compassion to all nations,tribes , different languages & peoples.
The 3 Angels` messages.Messages to be taken seriously?
“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. 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. 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.” – Revelation 14 v 6-12
Sounds scary and confusing ,right? Not anymore especially if you know the truth? What truth ?
We are all scholars and learners in this journey of life. Many scholars and different faith groups will argue about many things including the above quotation from Revelation 14 verse 6 to 12 . Despite our differences , It is time we stop judging one another and start to individually re-evaluate our lives ,values ,faith and beliefs. History has proven to repeat its self over and over again. Humanity will ultimately have to choose whom it will serve , the visible or the invisible good or evil powers. Some will argue and refuse to accept any existence of evil or good .
Let us sit down and talk about these subjects without anger ,fear or any emotions that will lead to violence and even death .
What DOES THIS MESSAGE MEAN?
01.
Literal or Symbolism ?
Know all basic facts and history.
The first angels message is important and a wake up call to a sleeping world ,figuratively. What is the book of Revelation? The book of Revelation is the last book in the bible .The book of Genesis is the first book and there are many other books before you reach the book of Revelation. Angels are recorded many times in the bible as holy spiritual beings that acts as messengers ,helpers and defenders to the faithful believers. The opposite of angels is demons ,unholy ,fallen angels that rebelled against their creator. Right ?
Surely no one had ever seen an angel preaching and never will an angel preach.What would an angel preach about? Does it know what it means to be human ,weak and heart broken?
02.
Everlasting gospel?
Also known as the Good news ? What was the bad news?.
Many faith groups claim to have messengers but what is the message that the messengers are bringing?
The book of Revelation is about revealing Jesus Christ.The book was written by a man called John who was punished by being cast away on a lonely Island after his eyes where taken out. His crime ? Simply for believing in Jesus Christ of Nazareth. John records that holy angels came to him to show him the things that shall come as the world will be coming to an end.
Is it possible that the everlasting gospel is the good news of salvation by faith alone in the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ? No more animal sacrifices , personal work but undeserved favor from above that can save humanity from eternal death and condemnation?
03.
What is to fear and give glory ?
Fear God and give him glory.
Someone may ask ,”why must i fear God if he is a loving God “? Do we fear our earthly loving fathers or mothers? Is it possible that the fear in this verse is a Godly fear that has a different interpretation? Instead of terror or traumatizing fear , does “Fear” mean “to show reverence” ? What is reverence ?Does it may be mean to recognize God as holy ,creator ,protector ,provider and Sustainer of life? If so ,do we give him glory due to him? Have we made a mockery of God ,the creator of heaven and earth?What is meaning of “The fear of God is the beginning of all wisdom” . Is it possible that “To fear God” is to forsake evil ways and to choose righteousness and holy living? Is it possible that wisdom is more than just knowledge but the ability to know that a tomatoe is a fruit but you can not mix it with fruits when making a fruit salad?
This verse is saying fear him and give glory because the hour of his judgement has come. Do we all need to understand these messages?
04.
Hour of judgement?
A Specific and exact period.
Where there is judgement ,there must be the judge , the accuser and the accused. In fair world , every case must be investigated and brought before a judge to consider the merits of the case.
Judgement is good news for the innocent. There is no condemnation to those who believe in Jesus Christ.Why ? Isnt this good news for those who believe in him? Did the bible provide a time frame for the whole world to be judged? Time is no more!!
05.
Worship the Creator?
A call to recognize that there is a creator?
Some will argue that the world was not created , even among those who believe in the bible.
From Genesis to Revelation , the Creator of heaven and earth revealed himself. He who brings life into the world will be responsible and care for his creation. Did God reveal his creatorship and authority over the earth and the heavens? Did God place a seal of his authority for us to see his authority? What will happen if we refuse his authority? Time is no more!!
06.
Babylon is fallen?
A literal city or a symbolic fallen system ?
This is the second angel`s message. What or who is Babylon?Why did it fall and when? These are important questions yet ignored by many.
Babylon was a beautiful literal physical city on earth. Later on it the name Babylon was used a symbolic term representing toxic pride , human exaltation instead of divine elevation. Babylon became a symbol of confusion and mixing of religious teachings . The good news is God called and is still calling his own to come out of Babylon ? How do you come out of something that you cant accept it is wrong and confusing?
07.
Do you want to know more?
Some will choose to learn more about this message while others will think and believe they already know the meaning?
To desire ,seek and learn the truth is a choice.What is the truth ?Whose truth is it?
When you understand the first and second angels messages,it will be easy to understand the third angels message.The questions about the beast ,the image of the beast will all start to make sense. Any religion that will force or go on a crusade against non believers will leave many people with unanswered questions. The choice is yours.
