3 Angel's Messages Simplified

1st Angel's Message:

Called to the True WORSHIP of God

2nd Angel's Message:

Called away from the False WORSHIP of God

3rd Angel's Message:

The showdown over the 2 forms of WORSHIP of God

As innocent Abel fell before Cain (who received a mark) so too will spiritual Abel (via martyrdom) fall before spiritual Cain (with the mark of the beast) in the end......over WORSHIP of God...

Not as Cain,

who was of that wicked one,

and slew his brother.

And wherefore slew he him?

Because his own works were evil,

and his brother's righteous.

1 John 3:12

1st Angel's:

* The Judgment has begun (Redeemer)
* The last part is nearly verbatim from the 4th Commandment, the Sabbath Commandment, about WORSHIP (Creator)

2nd Angel's:

*The call is to God's people in all the Churches in Apostasy - to come out of spiritual Babylon...before it's too late.
*Her "fornication" with the world was through blending paganism with Christianity. Her (Babylon's) key doctrines reflecting that are Sunday Sacredness (in place of the Sabbath) and Immortality of the Soul.
*The "kings" and "merchants" of the earth are obviously the politicians and global corporations who have pushed her agenda.

3rd Angel's:

*The "image" of the Beast, by the Law of Inverse Relationship, would be opposite of the "image" of God, reflected to us (according to Paul) in His Son. That was reflected in obedience--obedience to the death of the Cross as Paul tells us....hence the "image" to the Beast is one of DISOBEDIENCE to God.
*The "worship" they pay, the venerating or obedience to this "image" of the Beast is that they go along with it.
*The Mark of the Beast in the "forehead" and "hand" symbolically means that they believe in it (forehead) or go along with it just because they want to eat (hand) as those who don't co-operate can't buy or sell. ...and all the world wondered after the beast. Revelation 13:3
