Alright. So Joseph is asking if the three Angels messages, Revelation 14 614 eight and 14 nine already happened, does that mean the beast in Revelation 13 did also? So let’s leave that question out because I think think that is a really good question. And so first it starts off with that big, if the three Angels messages already happened, doesn’t mean the Revelation 13 did also. So I think all those verses are related.
Speaker 1
Maybe we’ll take a quick look. Revelation 13 is where we first sort of see the Mark of the beast and you’ll get his number six, six, and white people talk about that. And then we come to Revelation 14 and we’re being warned, given three different warnings. One angel is telling us, fear God, give glory to him for his hour of judgment has come. And then there’s another angel that will come and say, hey, Babylon is falling as fallen.
Speaker 1
And then the third angel comes in Revelation 14 and says basically, you don’t want the Mark of the beast, don’t get the Mark of the beast. It’s really bad. And that’s what the three go for.
Speaker 1
I think we’ve talked about before, but where does the beast of Revelation 13 come up? There’s two beasts, the beast that comes out of the sea. I believe that beast has already appeared, has already been around for 1000 plus years. And that beast just sort of went on the decline around the year 18 because of the interventions by the French. Ironically, and the same French actually recognized the United States that very year as a nation.
Speaker 1
It was the first country to recognize the US as a nation. So that was a very important year in that sense. One beast declining, a new beast on the rise.
Speaker 1
And shortly thereafter, I believe then we see these three Angels messages coming into play, where we have this big movement, a grand awakening, even in the US in the 1800s really took off. And by the way, my other days, if I said 18 hundreds, it was 1798, that’s when the first beast decline. And then the second beast, the land beast, the United States emerges as a new country. And then in the 1800s, we see the beginning of these three Angels messages being proclaimed. You had people who were out there identifying that, hey, creation is really important, the Bible is really important.
Speaker 1
And now is the time when the judgment is beginning. God now has moved into the Holy place like you see in the day of Atonement. And now the books, the records are being gone through. And we’re in this very special time, the entitypocal time represented by the day of Atonement. So that’s why that first message is saying in part and then it’s also tennis.
Speaker 1
Creation is going to be an important thing. I think most people would have never doubted for a long period of time that the world was created. But it’s around this age of enlightenment that suddenly now it’s a big deal. It’s a big deal to believe in evolution. And atheism really takes off during this period.
Speaker 1
It began a little bit in the 700s, but now Darwinism becomes a thing around this 1844 time period.
Speaker 1
So it’s going on. Evolution takes off now. It’s a big thing. We’re being warned about with that first angel, the second Angel, Babylon has fallen, has fallen. I believe that came around the same time.
Speaker 1
It’s hard to give you without massive history lesson, exact times of it. But again, people start realizing that there are certain corruptions within certain elements of Christianity and are saying, guys, we need to move beyond this. We need to go back to keeping the Bible as the Bible teaches itself to be. We need to start looking back at, are we supposed to be keeping the Sabbath? Have we lost truth about what death really is?
Speaker 1
And we talked about last time, how there is no hell where you’re burning forever and ever. But hell is that in time where God is just going to let his consuming fire of his glory consume everybody. So we have all these false doctrines that got into Christianity over the period of the dark ages and these have to be rolled back and that is, I believe, a part of this second Angel’s message calling us to get out of Babylon. Babylon is corrupt. We have false Christianity that’s within come out of false Christianity, come into the true Christianity.
Speaker 1
God wants us to dwell in a true Christianity that properly represents the loving character of God. And then we get into the last part of revelation 14, which would be, well, not the last part of revelation 14, but the last of the three Angels messages, which is watch out for that Mark of the beast. We’ve gone into detail about it before. Hasn’t come yet. This element of the Mark of the beast.
Speaker 1
No, we don’t believe that’s happening yet. There’s going to be a test. It’s all about this big test. Are you going to choose to worship God and receive God’s seal? The seal and Mark of God, which the Bible tells us keeping his Commandments is the sign of the seal that were on his team that were his.
Speaker 1
And then we have on the other side listening to man, listening to the instructions of man, doing what man says as opposed to what God says. Are you going to worship as man says we should worship God? Are you going to worship God as God says we should worship him? That’s going to be the very, very important thing. So do we have a law, a part of God’s Commandments, something that’s telling us how to worship God?
Speaker 1
Think about that. In fact, the Sabbath is, we’re told a sign of God’s people, I think we’ve talked about that before. So I don’t believe we’ve come to this ultimate test yet where you’re going to prove your allegiance to God or just cave to the compelled false worship. Right now we don’t see this time period where if we don’t worship God as the government and Church tell us, we’re going to die. But look at all the censorship we’re seeing, look at all the people being deplatformed because they’re saying things that the mainstream says, no, that’s dangerous.
Speaker 1
Don’t listen to that. We’re not too far probably from seeing the Bible being banned. We’re not too far from then seen after that. Compelled worship. Compelled false worship.
Speaker 1
So it hasn’t happened yet, but it’s soon going to happen and pay attention to people in Revelation 14, this special group 144,000 these are the people that can stand in the presence of God. These are the ones that are not there yet. I think this is why God hasn’t come yet. He needs his people ready. And when they’re ready, they’re and they can properly represent God to the world.
Speaker 1
And the world just can’t stand and wants to kill them. God’s going to intervene and everything is going to come to an end.
