3 Angels - a last call for conversion
Before Jesus returns to Earth everyone has to hear about him. It the task of the saints -the Christians in Jesus and in Spirit- to spread the Gospel, but also the task of the Angels; they are put to work to proclaim the soon return of Jesus.

In Revelations 14: 6-13 we can read a very important message of three angels; they proclaim a last call of conversion for the world. A last call for worshipping GOD. Please read with me:

'And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having eternal good tidings to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people; and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.

And another, a second angel, followed, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, that hath made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

And another angel, a third angel, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand, he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; 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 goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name.

Here is the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard the voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.’

The first angel
‘Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.’

This angel carries an eternal message; a message for all people on the Earth. No one exluded! His message is a call for:

Worshipping GOD; giving GOD glory

Acknowledging GOD as the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the sea and all wells of water.

Not 'just a message'. These two incentives are meant for all people; they belong together. Together they form a kind of seal for those that ultimately belong to GOD in Jesus and in Spirit.

In John 4:23 we can read about how to worship GOD:
'But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers'.

True worshippers will be lead by the Holy Spirit of GOD and the Spirit will lead them to truth. They willnot be mislead by the world and the pagan gods and false teachings of the world. True worshippers will keep the Commandments of GOD and the faith of Jesus (Revelations 14:12).

1 John 2:3-4 tells us what being faithful to Jesus is about:
'And hereby we know that we know him [=Jesus], if we keep His [of GOD] Commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected.

All those that belong to GOD and keep the Commandments of GOD and the faith in the Son of GOD are prepared to kneel before GOD and to acknowledge HIM as the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Keeping the Sabbath-day holy [4th Commandment!] plays a very important role in this worship of GOD.

The Sabbath-day -sunset Friday till sunset Saturday- is all about the Creation and memorising it; keeping the Sabbath-day holy means acknowledging and thanking GOD as our Creator!

Exodus 20: 8-11 tells us about the 4th Commandment of GOD and why to keep it holy
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'.

Many 'christians' don't believe that GOD created all we know (Genesis) and consequently they don't acknowledge GOD as our Creator and they do not worship GOD the way GOD asks us to worship HIM.

Those 'church-christians' keep the first day of the week -the Sun-day of the trinity-sun-god of Babylon- holy instead of the Seventh-Day of GOD to holy GOD. Whatever reasons given to justify the behaviour of those 'church-christians': the Seventh-Day is the Day of GOD; not the Sun-day!

How would you like it when your closest friends would celebrate the birthday of your greatest opponent as your birthday???

How would GOD like it when people celebrate all HE created with keeping the day of the devil holy???

Further more: many 'church-christians' are not willing to worship GOD or to respect his Will at all; this would only be a nuisance and also damaging to their own status and glory...

The call for (final) conversion is not meant for unbelievers only, but most certainly also for 'church-christians' that honour themselves and/or unbiblical church-teachings!

Fear God and give him glory; HE made the heaven and the earth!

Babylon the great, that hath made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

The second angel
(verse 8) 'And another, a second angel, followed, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, that hath made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication'.

Revelations 17:3-6 pictures Babylon beschreven as a woman; a mother of harlots. And the verse also says, that she is drunken with the blood of the followers of Jesus
'And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication, and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of those put to death because of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder'.

Revelations 18:7-20 pictures the fall of Babylon
The great town and the wealthy empire wil be completely burned with fire. But untill the Judgement of GOD and the carrying out of the verdict it influences the whole world and our daily life. GOD asks us to come out of Babylon and to not take part in her sins:
‘And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues'.

All those that do not leave Babylon personally Babylon will be receiving plagues and judgement; if you stay in Babylon this means that you will receive plagues and judgement!
Leaving Babylon can only be done in worshipping GOD according to His Will and Commandments with the Spirit and with the faith of Jesus.
All inhabitants of the Earth will be seduced by Babylon. Many people - Kings, merchants and leaders- will follow Babylon and her wealth instead of following GOD in simplicity and respect. They will also try to lure people into Babylon; even without them realizing it.
Pacts are drawn up and alliances are formed and many (church-)organisations are lured and drawn into Babylon; they all are made to drink the wine of her fornication.
The call of the angels is meant for all people personally, so do not think that you are save in your church-organisation. You have to investigate yourself, you have to embrace a biblical fundament yourself, you have to worship GOD yourself and to leave Babylon yourself so you won't take part of her sins and to not receive the plagues that GOD will bring her!
Still: manay 'church-christians' will fall for her sins and stay put. They have fallen and they are blinded with the sins of Babylon:
Pride,
Adultry, Seduction, Persecution,
Sorcery and evil powers.
Her sins have reached even unto heaven!
GET OUT OF BABYLON PERSONALLY;
DO NOT WAIT UNTILL YOUR CHURCH OR THE ORGANISATION YOU BELONG TO WILL DO IT FOR YOU, BECAUSE THAT WILLNOT HAPPEN!!! YOU WILL BE DECEIVED WHEN YOU KEEP ON WAITING!!!

The third angel
(verse 9-11) 'And another angel, a third angel, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand, he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; 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 goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name'.

A choice with huge consequences...
What the third angels tells us really is a consequence of what will happen if you do not listen to the message of the other angels. All people that don't worship GOD and do not keep [all of] His Commandments will automatically stay in Babylon personally. They will worship Babylon (the pagan god of Babylon) and take part in her sins.
Instead of receiving the seal of GOD they will receive the mark of the beast [satan]; either on their hands [in doing] or on their foreheads [in thinking]. Babylon will influence them and turn them into a product of satan. And then there will be no way back!
After the last call for conversion there will be no more Mercy!
What follows after the choice...

For all those that stay in Babylon: Gods Wrath and 7 plagues without any mercy...
After this last call GOD will pour out the seven bowls with the seven plagues over Babylon and all people that received her mark; the mark of the beast. GOD will show no mercy with them. Now Jesus is still active as our Mediator/High Priest before GOD and we can still receive Mercy through his intervention, but when GOD starts with His Wrath this intervention will seize.
Everyone that will receive the plagues willnot have any rest; not at day and not at night and eventually they will be consumed by fire.

Revelations 21:8 - after the plagues being thrown in the fire
'But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death'.

All those leaving Babylon have to be patient..
The period after the pouring out of the plagues will be a very difficult time; also for the true Christians. The Bible tells us what is expected in the patience of those Christians:

Revelations 14:12 - Keeping the Commandments of GOD and the faith of Jesus
'Here is the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.'.
Revelations 14:4-5 - They follow Jesus and are first fruit to GOD and Jesus
'These are they who have not made themselves unclean with the woman; they are like virgins. These are they who go after the Lamb wherever he goes. These were taken from among men to be the first fruits to God and to the Lamb'.
All people that went out of Babylon didnot become dirty but kept the Commandments of GOD and the faith in Jesus. They are the true virgins for the Lamb and the fruit of GOD ánd the Lamb.
The following promises will apply to them:
Revelations 14:13 - Christians in Jesus and Spirit will come to life
'And a voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Put in writing, There is a blessing on the dead who from now on come to their end in the Lord: yes, says the Spirit, that they may have rest from their troubles; for their works go with them'.
Revelations 20:4-6 - All that testified of Jesus and died will live again!
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: over these the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Revelations 20: 6 - They will be priests of GOD and Jesus and ruling with them
'Happy and holy is he who has a part in this first coming: over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will be ruling with him a thousand years'.
One way or the other everyone will change according to her or his choice; accordingly GOD will look at this person and judge him or her and the fruit of his or her life. The Bible tells the following about foundations, heart and fruit: Revelations 22:11-12 - Rewarded according to works in Jesus and Spirit!
'He that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness still: and he that is filthy, let him be made filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness still: and he that is holy, let him be made holy still'.
'Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to each man according as his work is'.
