As time continues to march on for Mankind, we go on through life as if Jesus will never return.  In fact, many mock the notion that Jesus will ever return and say,"Where is the coming of this Jesus?".

 

 

 

Life moves on and we marry and give in marriage, buy homes, eat, party and plan for our futures just like it was in the days of Noah.  But things are changing in this world and in the chapter of Revelation, God is calling His children to draw close to Him and warning us that the soon return of Jesus is close.

 

 

 

As events in the world become more hectic and turmoil throughout the Earth continues, God is giving Mankind One Last Warning before the second coming of Jesus.

 

In Revelation, this Last Warning is referred to as "The Three Angels Message".

 

"The Three Angels Message" of Revelation are three urgent End Time warnings sent by God in the final days on Earth.  What God is telling Mankind is that time is running out for the inhabitants of this planet and that "It's Time" to fear God, "It's Time" to give God glory, "It's Time" for God's hour of judgment and "It's Time" to make your decision for Christ and draw near to Him.

 

 

 

 

The First Angel

 

 

This is the message of the first Angel and he is saying to the World, fear or give reverence to God because He is the Creator of all things and His judgment has come.  God is giving His last call to the World for repentance and this last call is not going to occur in the future, but rather is occurring right now. 

 

We were created for the purpose of worshipping God by giving Him honor and glory in our words and actions.  But as you can see, most of Mankind is not doing so and our world is spinning out of control with evil because we are giving into our own desires and actions, which is the direct opposite of what God is asking of us.  God is calling Mankind back to a true worship of God as Creator. 

 

 

 

 

God is asking us once again, to have a sacred stewardship of our lives.  The simple statement "the hour of His Judgment has come" gives urgency of God's call to Mankind for repentance because time is running out and the final judgment of Mankind is soon to be rendered.

 

The reference in Revelation 14:7 to "the hour of His Judgment has come" also refers to God's investigative judgment in the Heavenly sanctuary.  You see there is a sanctuary in Heaven and in this Sanctuary Christ ministers on our behalf by making available His atoning sacrifice that He offered once and for all on the cross.

 

Christ became our High priest and began our intercessory ministry at the time of His ascension after His resurrection

 

In the history of Man something very interesting happened in 1844, at the end of the prophetic period of 2300 days outlined in the Book of Daniel, Christ entered into the second and last phase of His atoning ministry.  It is the work of the Investigative Judgment, the ultimate disposition of all sin, typified by the cleansing of the ancient Hebrew sanctuary on the Day of Atonement. 

 

 

 

This Investigative Judgment reveals to all Heavenly Intelligences, who among the dead are deemed worthy to have part in the first resurrection.  It also makes manifest to the Heavenly hosts who among us, which are among the living, are abiding in Christ by keeping His commandments and have our faith in Jesus.  This Investigative Judgment signifies to the Heavenly Intelligences just who is ready for entry into God's everlasting  Kingdom.

 

Note: To fully understand the Sanctuary Judgment, you will need to study what the Jewish ceremonies were in the Jewish Temple.  [Read Exodus 25:8, Exodus 40, Hebrews 9:1]

 

 

The Second Angel

 

 

 

 

This second Angel's message is a very important message to Mankind.  This Angel is exclaiming that "It's Time" to come out of Babylon, or the apostate churches referred to in Revelation concerning the Harlot Church and her daughter churches.

 

So what is Babylon, as it pertains to what Revelation is referring to? From early history, Babylon came to represent Man's defiance towards God.  In the story of the Tower of Babel, the tower symbolized man's attempt for salvation by Man's own works or devices.  It became a monument to apostasy and a symbol of the center of Man's rebellion against God. 

 

It should also be pointed out here that Satan worked in the background as the invisible king to this city, Babylon, and this Babylonian system was Satan's master plan for ruling over the human race.  In other words, Satan wants to deceive Mankind into believing salvation can be obtained by works, or anything man imagines, but he does not want you to obtain salvation through faith in Jesus.  God is warning Mankind against all forms of humanly originated forms of worship or Man devised religions.

 

Babylon also symbolizes the apostate Christian church, the Roman Catholic Papacy, which changed allegiance from God to the State or Civil Government as it's means of protection and support. This is known in Biblical terms as spiritual fornication.  Note: The Catholic Papacy plays a large part in End Time Bible Prophecy.

 

See: Who or What is the Antichrist?

 

 

 

The Third Angel

 

 

This Third Angel's message is God's most solemn warning against worshipping the beast and his image -- which all who reject the gospel of the cross and righteousness by faith will ultimately do.

 

The Third Angels message reveals that those who submit to human authority in Earth's final crisis will worship the beast and his image instead of the true God.  At the end of time, there will be two classes of people.  One class will advocate or accept the gospel of human devising and will worship the beast and his image bringing upon them the judgments of God. 

 

The second class of people will live by the true gospel of Jesus Christ and His atonement for sin on the cross.  They will keep the commandments of God and will have the faith of Jesus. (See Revelation 14:9, Revelation 12:17)

 

So what is this mark referred to in Revelation?  This mark will be a sign of allegiance to a Man made gospel or belief that salvation can come from Man's own devices.  In the Last Days, Satan will push for a Mark to show where your allegiance lies.  The Antichrist will again arise on the scene of human history and he will force a mark on everyone to show his authority over church matters and justification.  Justification is how we are saved.

 

Now this mark is not a real physical mark on your hand or forehead, but rather a show of allegiance to Man's devised religion.  In essence this mark will be the acceptance or Mark of authority of the Catholic Church Papacy system. 

 

This mark will be Forced or Legislated and those who take the mark are doomed to destruction at the end  of time. This mark will not be a chip under your skin or bar code or a computer in Belgium.

 

On a brief historical side track, in 321A.D. Constantine the Great, who favored the Roman Catholic Church above all other Christian Churches, established the observance of Sunday as a legal duty, enacting that all courts of justice, inhabitants of towns, and workshops were to be at rest on Sunday (venerabili die solis), with an exception in favor of those engaged in agricultural labor. ("Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th ed., art. "Sunday").  The Apostate Catholic Church Papacy adopted this day of Sunday observance as well in order to bring pagan worshippers into the Christian church and to accommodate pagan religious practices, the culture of that time. The Catholic Church has since made claim that the act of changing God's day of worship is their Mark of authority over religious matters and shows that they can change the Laws of God.

 

There is no directive from God anywhere in the Bible to change the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday.  This was done exclusively from the arrogance of Man and not God.

 

Most Christians do not realize they are not keeping all of God's commandments because they are not worshipping on the Sabbath day which God has commanded us to keep.  Remember, the 4th commandment starts with the word "Remember".  But we've forgotten and chosen to follow the substituted day of worship from Saturday to Sunday.  We've unknowingly changed our allegiance.

 

See: The Ten Commandments

 

In the final days before Jesus returns, mankind will have to make a decision on who they will give their allegiance to and who has authority over Mankind...  Either worship of God on His Sabbath, or the Apostate Catholic Papacy day of worship of Sunday.  This will be a litmus test of who you trust for your salvation and who has true authority over Mankind. (I.E. Satan or God)

 

 

Please do Not Worry --- Yet!  

 

Now before you worry that you have already received the Mark of the Beast because you attend church on Sunday, you have to understand that this FUTURE mark is FORCED.  This mark is received in your hand through your actions of Sunday observance and in your mind, i.e. heart, through your belief in who has authority over salvation.    In other words, will you go along with the Roman Catholic Papacy day of Sunday observance rather then worshipping God on His day of worship, Saturday?

 

We are not yet at the Mark of the Beast timeframe in Human history but there will come a time where you will not be able to buy or sell unless you show allegiance to this Antichrist figure.  This will show who has authority over you, Man or the true God. 

 

Will you serve Man's observance of worship or God's chosen day of worship?  This is a very important matter and God is serious about His day of worship that He has sanctified.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a fact most people do not know...  Numerous States in the United States have on their books what is called Sunday Blue Laws.  These laws are designed to enforce religious standards, particularly the observance of Sunday as a day of worship or rest, and places restrictions on Sunday business practices.   Now these laws are on many State books, not to be voted on, but rather have already been passed but are not currently being enforced to date.

Looking at today's political and religious heretical climate, this day isn't too far off in the near future.  Who will you give your authority to, God or Satan?

 

 

 

 

So what must we do to make sure we are ready for the events about to be unleashed onto Mankind?  God says, "It's Time" to draw closer to Him and He wants His children to move into a more intimate relationship with Him so that we are able to stand in the days ahead.

 

We do this by seeking God with all our hearts, mind and soul and by reading His scriptures.  In other word, we need to sincerely seek a relationship with God. By moving closer to Jesus,  we can procure God's protection and guiding hand in our life.  If your current walk with Jesus is luke warm, I suggest you re-evaluate where you are with God.  The troubled times coming dictate the necessity of a closer walk with Christ. 

 

Please do not be fooled, perilous times are racing towards this planet, and the soon imminent return of Jesus is closer than we think, will you be ready?

 

 

 

 

 

 

On a Final Note

 

If you do not have a relationship with Jesus, please consider turning your heart and life over to God...
