Then I SAW another ANGEL flying in midair, & he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language & people. He said in a loud voice, “Fear God & give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea & the springs of water.”
A SECOND ANGEL followed & said, “Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great, which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”
A THIRD ANGEL followed them & said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast & his image & receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels & of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever & ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast & his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name.”
This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God’s commandments & remain faithful to Jesus.
Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write: BLESSED ARE THE DEAD WHO DIE IN THE LORD FROM NOW ON.”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
Revelation 14:6-13
