After a one week delay due to snow, Pastor Kevin reviews the mission of the three angels of Revelation 14. These angels are used by God to preach the gospel during the last 3.5 years of the Tribulation.
This section of scripture makes it clear that all those who fear God and refuse to take the Mark of the Beast will be killed by the Antichrist. God says, “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on” (Rev 14:13). Why are they blessed?
The rest of Chapter 14 depicts Jesus with a sickle ready to harvest the grapes of wrath on the earth. God has been patient and merciful for thousands of years, but now it is time to judge the wicked as Jesus prepares to physically return and set up His kingdom.
The first four verses of chapter fifteen introduce the angels who will be dispensing the seven bowls of God’s wrath. Next week’s study will cover these final plagues that come upon those who have rejected God as creator and instead have worshiped a man who is possessed by Satan himself.
