THE HARVEST (Rev. 14: 6 – 20)
We are now shown the great ingathering of the harvest: those to life and those to death.
Three angels go forth bringing proclamations of the judgments to come.
The 3 Proclamations
Life - God`s hand of mercy is still stretched out to those who will repent.
`Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth –
to every nation, tribe, tongue, & people –
saying with a loud voice,
“Fear God and give glory to Him,
for the hour of His judgment has come;
and worship Him who made heaven & earth, the sea & springs of water. `
(Rev. 14: 6 & 7)
Destruction - Those who have followed the false religion will see it destroyed.
`And another angel followed, saying,
“Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city,
because she has made all nations drink of the wine
of the wrath of her fornication.”
(Rev. 14: 8)
Death - Those who follow and worship the Global leader will suffer the wrath and judgment of God.
Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,
“If anyone worships the beast & his image,
and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand,
he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God,
which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation.
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 ascends forever and ever;
and they have no rest day of night, who worship the beast and his image,
and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
