I truly ♥ you, my family of friends ... Im politely asking you to consider the following ... TY for considering the following ... The Next Item on the Agenda ~ by RJW Gods love for a lost, despairing world is seen in the message of three mighty angels who fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach … to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people, telling [1] that the hour of His judgment has come, [2] that Babylon is fallen, that is, apostate, fallen Christianity that should lighten the earth with truth but instead has embraced self-worshipping paganism in its heart, and [3] dont worship the beast and his image, [or] receive his mark (Rev. 14:6-12). The first message arose on time just after the end of the 1260 years that came in 1798, was given a first public presentation in 1831; a tragic rejection by the entrenched Protestant hierarchies made the fall of Babylon message relevant by 1844, and the identification of the mark of the beast has been proclaimed ever since. But note: these three great angels can fly only in the midst of heaven, like a helicopter flying over the treetops; better than travel by oxcart, yes, but severely limited in their effectiveness. They use all the marvelous increase of knowledge provided by modern technology, satellite preaching, for example; but straining their resources to the limit, they could preach on for hundreds of years more, frustrated in their best efforts unless another angel, a fourth, comes down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth [is] lightened with his glory, and he [cries] mightily with a loud voice … (18:1-4). The most poignant drama of 6000 years is seen in modern Israels disdaining a most precious message when its beginning came in the closing decades of the 19th century. Consequent on that tragic unbelief has been the loosening of the grip of those four angels of chapter 7 who had been commissioned to hold the four winds of the earth until the sealing angels have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads (vss. 1-3). In simple language, the Savior of the world has thereby been frustrated in His purpose to bring to a triumphant close His great controversy with Satan. The next item on the agenda: repentance for Gods own people.
