Scripture

The Three Angels

6 And I saw another angel flying through the sky, carrying the eternal Good News to proclaim to the people who belong to this world—to every nation, tribe, language, and people. 7 “Fear God,” he shouted. “Give glory to him. For the time has come when he will sit as judge. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all the springs of water.”

8 Then another angel followed him through the sky, shouting, “Babylon is fallen—that great city is fallen—because she made all the nations of the world drink the wine of her passionate immorality.”

9 Then a third angel followed them, shouting, “Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark on the forehead or on the hand 10 must drink the wine of God’s anger. It has been poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath. And they will be tormented with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb. 11 The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for they have worshiped the beast and his statue and have accepted the mark of his name.”

12 This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus.

Observation

Hell will be a place of torment that will have no relief. It will be torment 24/7 and it will last forever and ever. The last time I checked “forever and ever” is a very long time.

Hell is a real place and people will go there unless we share the Good News with them that God has planned something better for them.

Verse 12 is the verse for me today, “This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus.”

Application

I will obey God’s commands and I will maintain my faith in Jesus.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me share the Good News with people today. Give me the opportunity to be your witness. Help our people obey Your commands and maintain their faith in Jesus. I pray that You help those that are overwhelmed with life. Help them to maintain their faith in Jesus.
