What Is the Three Angels Message
Revelation 14:6-12
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.
The everlasting gospel is the Word of God and its His message that we are to spread to all the world to tell them of Jesus coming and to turn from the world and turn to Christ. are to be the light of the world, we are to be the watchman, warning of the impending destruction that is to come to all those that refuse to obey God and follow His Commandments.Those who wander after the beast and the church who rides it is at this very moment at work to deceive the nations and peoples with its lies, wonders, and miracles. Blinding all to the Word of God.
The woman in Bible symbolism is the Church, the beast is the symbol for a nation, and the 7 heads of the beast is the symbol for 7 mountains or hill.
Where in this world is a church and state that sits on 7 hills? These are the 7 hills of Rome. This is where the Vatican sits. The Vatican is a church and a state, its ruler is the pope, and like its rulers before it, whats to dominate the world and bring it to submission and obey its laws and not God's laws.
What Is the Mark of the Beast
The mark of the beast is Sunday the first day of the week. It is the counterfeit day of worship to Satan.
The Real and True Sabbath is Saturday the seventh day of the week which Satan hates and will persecute all who observe it. There will be many attempts by Satan to deceive you into thinking that the mark of the beast is something other than the 4th Commandment.
He will use microchip implants, bar code stamping, national ID cards to lull the people into believing it is one or all of these that is the mark of the beast.
Who Is This Woman
Now let us go back and take another look at this woman who rides the beast. This woman is Babylon, and Babylon is Rome where the Papacy sits.
This is the apostate church of the world and causes all who follow her to fall into ruin with her lies and deceits. She is the harlot church and all other churches who follow after her are her daughters of apostasy.
Revelation 17:3-5 says of this woman:
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
The Roman Church
Remember in symbol the woman is the church. What church has the colors of purple and red, has precious stones, gold and pearls, and has a golden cup used in ceremonies. The Roman Catholic Church.
Have you ever seen the inside of the Vatican? Amazing isn't it. Its vaults underground house many treasures of precious items. Its churches are decked with precious stones and gold. Its chalices which they drink the wine from on the sacrifice of their altars are made of gold. Think about it. How can anyone not see the similarities in Revelation and the Vatican.
We have established that the Woman is the Church and the Beast is a nation which is the Vatican church and state. The 7 heads of the beast are the 7 hills of which she sits on and the 10 horns on its head are the 10 kingdoms that are being established.
Map of the Ten Kingdoms
The 10 horns on the beast are these 10 kingdoms. This is the New World Order map which Satan is trying to bring into being through the power of the Vatican who controls all the worlds governments.Notice how in order to create these 10 kingdoms, they merge countries together. Each group will be governed by 10 kings of the Vatican's choosing.
Do you remember in the Book of Daniel the image of Nebuchadnezzar?
Remember the feet of mixture, iron and clay. Iron cannot cleave to clay, it falls apart.
Daniel 2:41-44
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the dingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
So we see that the 10 toes represent the 10 kingdoms. But they will not cleave one to another. How many times has Satan, through men tried to unite the European nations and never succeeded He will continue to try, but fail again, because God said it will never happen.
The Plagues of Revelation 16
The First: Sores upon those who take the mark of the beast.
The Second: Curse on the Sea all living things die in the sea.
The Third: Rivers and fountains of water turned to blood.
The Fourth: Man is scorched with great heat.
The Fifth: Darkness falls upon the seat of the beast (papacy) and they will gnaw their tongues in pain.
The Sixth: The River Euphrates dries up, making way for the kings of the east.
The Seventh: The air is filled with the Voice of Christ saying It is done.
Plagues Not Universal
According to Ellen White these plagues will not be universal. If you look at Rev.16:10 when the fifth plague of darkness falls upon the seat of the beast, we know that the beast is Rome, the Papacy. It has been known that the Vatican wants to place their seat in Jerusalem. Could it be that the darkness will fall there?
And what of the First plague of sores, that surely is universal, if those who accept the mark of the beast are all over the world, that would make this plague universal, would it not? It is something to ponder for sure. But regardless where they fall, they will fall and those not standing for Christ will feel their wrath.
These plagues are not universal, or the inhabitants of the earth would be wholly cut off. Yet they will be the most awful scourges that have ever been known to mortals. All the judgments upon men, prior to the close of probation, have been mingled with mercy. The pleading blood of Christ has shielded the sinner from receiving the full measure of his guilt; but in the final Judgment, wrath is poured out unmixed with mercy. {GC88 628.2}
In that day, multitudes will desire the shelter of God's mercy which they have so long despised. "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it." [AMOS 8:11, 12.] {GC88 629.1}
The people of God will not be free from suffering; but while persecuted and distressed, while they endure privation, and suffer for want of food, they will not be left to perish. That God who cared for Elijah will not pass by one of his self-sacrificing children. He who numbers the hairs of their head will care for them, and in time of famine they shall be satisfied. While the wicked are dying from hunger and pestilence, angels will shield the righteous, and supply their wants. To him that "walketh righteously" is the promise, "Bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure." "When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them." [ISA. 33:16; 41:17.] {GC88 629.2}
"Although the fig-tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls;" yet shall they that fear him "rejoice in the Lord," and joy in the God of their salvation. [HAB. 3:17, 18.] {GC88 629.3}
"The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil; he shall preserve thy soul." "He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust; his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation; there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling." [PS. 121:5-7; 91:3-10.] {GC88 629.4}
Did you know that there is another angel? The fourth angel.
Revelation 18:1-4
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. (see Ezekiel 43:2). And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon 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. (see Isaiah 13:19). 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, (or power). And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out off her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
