By John Thiel, Fourth Angel’s Message, study 1, mp3

The work of this angel comes in at the right time to join in the last great work of the third angel’s message as it swells to a loud cry. And the people of God are thus prepared to stand in the hour of temptation, which they are soon to meet. I saw a great light resting upon them, and they united to fearlessly proclaim the third angel’s message. {EW 277.1}

To proclaim the third angel another angel came. We examine this other angel of Revelation 18 to see it another movement. Another angel comes to give strength to the third angel’s message. The angels, first, second and third were actually movements that were proclaiming this message. The three angels and the Revelation 18 are to be seen as exactly what they are to represent.

The Seven Churches

Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

The seven churches are one church that has been passing through the different periods of time. What is an angel?

Revelation 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

Here is the first church period Ephesus. He is writing to the angel of that church period. What do we identify as the angel of the church? When we talk of the angels we are reading of this;

Malachi 2:7 For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he [is] the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

The word angel what does it mean? Angel (Aggelos) is the Greek word for messenger. God is speaking to the messengers, the priests who proclaim the message to the people. The angels of Revelation 14 are the ministry to the people.

The angels are represented as flying in the midst of heaven, proclaiming to the world a message of warning, and having a direct bearing upon the people living in the last days of this earth’s history. No one hears the voice of these angels, for they are a symbol to represent the people of God who are working in harmony with the universe of heaven. {2SM 387.1}

This is a ministry that works in harmony with the universe of heaven. They are these angels.

Men and women, enlightened by the Spirit of God and sanctified through the truth, proclaim the three messages in their order. {2SM 387.1}

As we are studying the three angel’s messages we mustn’t forget we are studying that which pertains to the people living in this period and they are the ministry living in this message – men and women that work in harmony with the universe. If anyone claims to be a minister of the Lord they must work in harmony with the three angel’s messages. Our study at this moment is to recognise the movements that we have been studying in the past and also this movement of Revelation 18 as it’s another movement. Observe the Revelation 18 angel;

Sardis

Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

Here is the angel of the church of Sardis. In our study of the seven churches we identified this is the period of 1798 to 1833. In this period the angel was the ministers of the protestant churches because they had a name that they lived, but they are dead. At this period of time from1798 to 1833 the ministry of the protestant organisations are identified.

Philadelphia

Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

From 1833 there was a ministry that was proclaiming this message. This angel is the Advent movement of the first and second angel’s messages which was headed particularly in America by William Miller. This message was not only proclaimed by William miller but by others as well. This is the angel, the first angel’s message is identified in the angel of Philadelphia.

A Great religious awakening under the proclamation of Christ’s soon coming is foretold in the prophecy of the first angel’s message of Revelation 14. An angel is seen flying “in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.” “With a loud voice” he proclaims the message: “Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come: and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” Verses 6, 7. {GC 355.1}

This was the great religious awakening under the first angel’s message.

Like the great Reformation of the sixteenth century, the advent movement appeared in different countries of Christendom at the same time. In both Europe and America men of faith and prayer were led to the study of the prophecies, and, tracing down the inspired record, they saw convincing evidence that the end of all things was at hand. In different lands there were isolated bodies of Christians who, solely by the study of the Scriptures, arrived at the belief that the Saviour’s advent was near. {GC 357.1}

This movement of study and awareness was happening across Europe and America by people who were studying the prophecies.

In 1821, three years after Miller had arrived at his exposition of the prophecies pointing to the time of the judgment, Dr. Joseph Wolff, “the missionary to the world,” began to proclaim the Lord’s soon coming. Wolff was born in Germany, of Hebrew parentage, his father being a Jewish rabbi. While very young he was convinced of the truth of the Christian religion {GC 357.2}

He proclaimed what William Miller proclaimed in America but all across Europe.

To William Miller and his colaborers it was given to preach the warning in America. This country became the center of the great advent movement. It was here that the prophecy of the first angel’s message had its most direct fulfillment. The writings of Miller and his associates were carried to distant lands. Wherever missionaries had penetrated in all the world, were sent the glad tidings of Christ’s speedy return. Far and wide spread the message of the everlasting gospel: “Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come.” {GC 368.1}

We see the work of proclaiming the first angels message at the hand of these men of God. The advent movement that was the first angel was at first regarded with favour. As his work tended to build up the churches, it was for a time regarded with favor. . {GC 376.1}

The angel of Sardis was responding to the angel of Philadelphia.

But as ministers and religious leaders decided against the advent doctrine and desired to suppress all agitation of the subject, they not only opposed it from the pulpit, but denied their members the privilege of attending preaching upon the second advent, or even of speaking of their hope in the social meetings of the church. Thus the believers found themselves in a position of great trial and perplexity. They loved their churches and were loath to separate from them; but as they saw the testimony of God’s word suppressed and their right to investigate the prophecies denied they felt that loyalty to God forbade them to submit. Those who sought to shut out the testimony of God’s word they could not regard as constituting the church of Christ, “the pillar and ground of the truth.” Hence they felt themselves justified in separating from their former connection. In the summer of 1844 about fifty thousand withdrew from the churches. {GC 376.1}

Here you have a historic demonstration of one angel ministry giving way to another angel ministry. The angel of Sardis to the angel of Philadelphia. And the angel of Philadelphia being the first angel people. We saw the first angel together with the second angel or the 50,000 that left the churches recognised Babylon was the fallen. They then moved on from there and found there was another angel. After the period of 1833 to 1844, the disappointment, the expectation of Jesus coming, ended up with a company of people.

The Angel of Laodicea

Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

Here is another angel being written to. Who is this angel? It is the third angel. The angel that is identified as we studied in our previous series.

After Jesus opened the door of the most holy, the light of the Sabbath was seen, and the people of God were tested, as the children of Israel were tested anciently, to see if they would keep God’s law. I saw the third angel pointing upward, showing the disappointed ones the way to the holiest of the heavenly sanctuary. {EW 254.2}

Here is the account. 1844 passed, the people expected Jesus to come in 1844, and they were disappointed. Now comes the third angel pointing to the heavenly sanctuary, not to the earth.

As they by faith enter the most holy, they find Jesus, and hope and joy spring up anew. I saw them looking back, reviewing the past, from the proclamation of the second advent of Jesus, down through their experience to the passing of the time in 1844. They see their disappointment explained, and joy and certainty again animate them. The third angel has lighted up the past, the present, and the future, and they know that God has indeed led them by His mysterious providence. {EW 254.2}

Here you see the movement of the third angel coming into focus. We now see the picture of Jesus in the most holy place.

I saw the incense in the censer smoke as Jesus offered their confessions and prayers to His Father. And as it ascended, a bright light rested upon Jesus and upon the mercy seat; and the earnest, praying ones, who were troubled because they had discovered themselves to be transgressors of God’s law, were blessed, and their countenances lighted up with hope and joy. {EW 256.1}

What did they discover? They discovered the Sabbath because in the first and second message the Sabbath didn’t come into prominence but now in the third angel, they see the Sabbath. They realised they had been breaking Gods law but rejoiced because Jesus had been there to comfort them.

They joined in the work of the third angel and raised their voices to proclaim the solemn warning. But few at first received it; yet the faithful continued with energy to proclaim the message. Then I saw many embrace the message of the third angel and unite their voices with those who had first given the warning, and they honored God by observing His sanctified rest day. {EW 256.1}

Many who embraced the third message had not had an experience in the two former messages. Satan understood this, and his evil eye was upon them to overthrow them; but the third angel was pointing them to the most holy place, and those who had had an experience in the past messages were pointing them the way to the heavenly sanctuary. Many saw the perfect chain of truth in the angels’ messages, and gladly received them in their order, and followed Jesus by faith into the heavenly sanctuary. These messages were represented to me as an anchor to the people of God. Those who understand and receive them will be kept from being swept away by the many delusions of Satan. {EW 256.2}

This is the work that characterises these angels, the chain of truth. Here is a reason for us to understand the pure truth so that Satan cannot sweep away his people. We need to have knowledge often a pure train of truth. That is the characteristic of those who are the angel of the period of Laodicea the angel of the third angel’s messages, the people of God who are proclaiming that. We are now following the history through t other Revelation 18 angel. The condition of the people who came out of the disappointment out of the third angel, what is written of these people who were to represent the third angel’s message.

Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

In our research of the history of the movements, here we have from 1844, the third angel coming into focus and the very people who proclaim this message, but as time goes on, he tells them, I’m sorry you are meant to be full on for this message, it’s such a serious message but you are neither cold nor hot. That is the message to the angel that is here addressed – the movement of the third angel’s message and how that movement of people became slack.

As I have of late looked around to find the humble followers of the meek and lowly Jesus, my mind has been much exercised. Many who profess to be looking for the speedy coming of Christ are becoming conformed to this world and seek more earnestly the applause of those around them than the approbation of God. They are cold and formal, like the nominal churches from which they but a short time since separated. {EW 107.2}

In 1852, that message was already relevant. The angel, the movement that was to proclaim the third angels message became neither cold nor hot. This is further identified.

It is a solemn and terrible truth that many who have been zealous in proclaiming the third angel’s message are now becoming listless and indifferent! The line of demarcation between worldlings and many professed Christians is almost indistinguishable. Many who once were earnest Adventists are conforming to the world–to its practices{8T 118.4}

And through lack of zeal for the promulgation of the third angel’s message, many others, while not apparently living in transgression, are nevertheless as verily lending their influence on the side of Satan as are those who openly sin against God. Multitudes are perishing; but how few are burdened for these souls! There is a stupor, a paralysis, upon many of the people of God, which prevents them from understanding the duty of the hour. {8T 119.1}

Listless Stupor

Here are a people who are supposed to be working in harmony with the universe, they are meant to be the angel often third angel’s message but unfortunately they are listless and indifferent and a stupor and paralysis is upon them. That is the presentation of inspiration of these people.

We are in danger of giving the third angel’s message in so indefinite a manner that it does not impress the people. So many other interests are brought in that the very message which should be proclaimed with power becomes tame and voiceless. At our camp meetings a mistake has been made. The Sabbath question has been touched upon, but has not been presented as the great test for this time. While the churches profess to believe in Christ, they are violating the law which Christ Himself proclaimed from Sinai. The Lord bids us: “Show My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” Isaiah 58:1. The trumpet is to give a certain sound. {6T 60.1}

There demarcation between them and wordings is not vivid anymore. They are not working in harmony with the universe of heaven. The very message they are meant to be proclaiming with power is tame and voiceless. It is not being proclaimed in its vivid impact. God therefore speaks to the people of this angel. He spoke to the angel in the beginning of Laodicea and now he is speaking to the people with in this movement.

The Any Man in Laodicea

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Notice there were people who were worldly in the church and other people that are not living in transgression. Look, knock, knock, if any man open the door. I’m calling on any individual who will respond. Anyone who will open the door to the knock of Jesus. The experience will be fulfilled.

Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

This is the invitation. Here is where the message comes to those who open the door.

The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones. This message was to bring more prominently before the world the uplifted Saviour, the sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. It presented justification through faith in the Surety; it invited the people to receive the righteousness of Christ, which is made manifest in obedience to all the commandments of God. Many had lost sight of Jesus. They needed to have their eyes directed to His divine person, His merits, and His changeless love for the human family. All power is given into His hands, that He may dispense rich gifts unto men, imparting the priceless gift of His own righteousness to the helpless human agent. This is the message that God commanded to be given to the world. It is the third angel’s message, which is to be proclaimed with a loud voice, and attended with the outpouring of His Spirit in a large measure. {TM 91.2}

Behold I stand at the door and knock. Within the church there were individuals opening their heart they were messengers within Laodicea. As they opened their hearts to Christ and his righteousness, to the one who is knocking at the door, they proclaimed the message and what God commanded be proclaimed to the world.

The Revelation 18 Angel

The call of Jesus if any man will open the door was being heeded in the experience of the Laodicean ministry. There were some who opened their hearts to that. With that opening of the heart, came the Revelation 18 angel. We see another angel coming into focus in this history. Jesus says you are lukewarm but if anyone open the door I will come into him and the message can be proclaimed with power.

Revelation 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

The earth was lightened with his glory. Jesus says I am the light of the world. He knocks on the heart of those who are in the third angel’s message.

The time of test is just upon us, for the loud cry of the third angel has already begun in the Revelation of the righteousness of Christ, the sin-pardoning Redeemer. This is the beginning of the light of the angel whose glory shall fill the whole earth (RH Nov. 22, 1892). {7BC 984.6}

The Message of Christ Our Righteousness

We are pursuing the movements to the Revelation 18 angel movement. Within the ranks of the Laodicean people, Jesus is standing at the door knocking and if any man opens the door, Jesus will come in.  That is none other than what we have been reading in the Waggoner and Jones message. It was the message of Christ our righteousness.  The revelation of the righteousness of Christ, the sin-pardoning Redeemer, This is the beginning of the light of the Revelation 18 angel.  As this angel in the ministry of Waggoner and Jones messages came to the third angel people, the Laodicean angel, what did they do with this Revelation 18 angel message? This is just one description as there are many.

An unwillingness to yield up preconceived opinions, and to accept this truth, lay at the foundation of a large share of the opposition manifested at Minneapolis against the Lord’s message through Brethren [E.J.] Waggoner and [A.T.] Jones. By exciting that opposition Satan succeeded in shutting away from our people, in a great measure, the special power of the Holy Spirit that God longed to impart to them. {1SM 234.6}

They had become tame and voiceless and careless and now came this other angel at the right time to give power and force to a message that was being stupefied. As he comes to do this, what happens?

The enemy prevented them from obtaining that efficiency which might have been theirs in carrying the truth to the world, as the apostles proclaimed it after the day of Pentecost. The light that is to lighten the whole earth with its glory was resisted, and by the action of our own brethren has been in a great degree kept away from the world. {1SM 234.6}

Another Movement

What happened again in history? The need of another movement because the movement that was meant to be the third angel people rejected the light from heaven. As they rejected it, this angel was being rejected. It could not continue to work with the angel that rejected that angel. The forecast that this Revelation portrays to us is frightening for this third angel people.

Men who are entrusted with weighty responsibilities, but who have no living connection with God, have been and are doing despite to His Holy Spirit. They are indulging the very same spirit as did Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, and as did the Jews in the days of Christ. (See Matthew 12:22-29, 31-37.) Warnings have come from God again and again for these men, but they have cast them aside and ventured on in the same course. Read the words of Christ in Matthew 23:23: “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! This prophecy was literally fulfilled by the Jews in their treatment of Christ and of the messengers whom God sent to them. Will men in these last days follow the example of those whom Christ condemned? {TM 79.1}

These terrible predictions they have not as yet carried out to the full; but if God spares their lives, and they nourish the same spirit that marked their course of action both before and after the Minneapolis meeting, they will fill up to the full the deeds of those whom Christ condemned when He was upon the earth. {TM 79.2}

The Minneapolis meetings were the meetings by Waggoner and Jones. The warning and the forecast is that the people that were rejecting Waggoner and Jones messages would be doing the same thing that the Jews did to Jesus.

The perils of the last days are upon us. Satan takes the control of every mind that is not decidedly under the control of the Spirit of God. Some have been cultivating hatred against the men whom God has commissioned to bear a special message to the world. They began this satanic work at Minneapolis. Afterward, when they saw and felt the demonstration of the Holy Spirit testifying that the message was of God, they hated it the more, because it was a testimony against them. {TM 79.3}

Isn’t it interesting how human nature does that? If they oppose something and then realise it was right, they dig their heels in more.

They would not humble their hearts to repent, to give God the glory, and vindicate the right. They went on in their own spirit, filled with envy, jealousy, and evil surmisings, as did the Jews. They opened their hearts to the enemy of God and man. Yet these men have been holding positions of trust, and have been molding the work after their own similitude, as far as they possibly could. . . . {TM 79.3}

History Repeated

These were the leaders of the Adventist church that were opposing the work of Jesus in the message of Christ our righteousness. They were doing what the Jews did to Jesus. They still had opportunity like the Jews before the stoning of Steven. So these had opportunity. The terrible rejection by the SDA leaders has not been experienced yet but if they reject Gods spirit they will fill up their cup. God still gave them opportunity with the messages that were coming to them.

Those who cooperated with Waggoner and Jones, the Revelation 18 angel, this ministry were being heavily opposed by the leaders of the church. As it was being so heavily opposed, we come to 1903. What have they been doing up to 1903 as they oppose this angel? You can imagine how Ellen G White felt as these terrible battles were going on. She wrote letter after letter to the leaders to respond to this work but they didn’t. In one of the counsels of the General Conference where Sr white did not attend, she received a message. After all this time she was waiting for the church to respond to the Revelation 18 angel.

After I received word in regard to the excellent meeting of confession and unity that had been held in Battle Creek I was writing in my diary and was about to record the thankfulness I felt because a change had come, when my hand was arrested, and there came to me the words: “Write it not. No change for the better has taken place. Teachings that are turning souls from the truth are being presented as of great worth. Doctrines are being taught that lead into bypaths and forbidden paths; doctrines that lead men to act in harmony with their own inclinations and to work out their unsanctified purposes; doctrines that, if received, would destroy the dignity and power of God’s people, obscuring the light that would otherwise come to them through God’s appointed agencies.” {8T 231.2}

This is God speaking to her. She was about to write it and because the people would respond to her writings, the angel held her hand. What I have read is exactly what churns to my stomach in reference to any variation of the pure doctrines that God has been given where they deviate a little. Here is God telling her that is what happened in Adventist ranks. While it appeared they were submitting to it, wasn’t going on at all.

According to the inspiration words there was no change. It was resistance to the pure doctrines established under the three angel’s message. Therefore the inevitable results of the rejection on that angel by the angel of Laodicea would be that there would be a split in the organisation relationships of the Laodicean people which is portrayed;

“Be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh” (Matthew 24:44). This is our message, the very message that the three angels flying in the midst of heaven are proclaiming. The work to be done now is that of sounding this last message of mercy to a fallen world. A new life is coming from heaven and taking possession of all God’s people. But divisions will come in the church. Two parties will be developed. The wheat and tares grow up together for the harvest. {2SM 113.3}

The work will grow deeper and become more earnest to the very close of time. And all who are laborers together with God will contend most earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. They will not be turned from the present message, which is already lightening the earth with its glory. {2SM 114.1}

Because the leadership was opposing and by 1903 nothing better had come about, it creates two parties and as we go to the very end, the battle becomes more earnest and the contention more earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. The Revelation 18 angel was already lightening the earth will become more intense as time goes on. The battle between the true and the false. Two parties are developed and that will continue to go to the very end. This is what is to be expected. That there will be a company of people who will not turn from the present message that was given to Waggoner and Jones and all its ramifications that it will be lightening the earth with its glory. The challenge that E.G. White gave back then is a challenge for us today.

Are You Among That People?

You must remember that this angel represents the people that have this message to give to the world. Are you among that people? {RH, August 18, 1885 par. 14}

The angel of Revelation 3 spoke to the angel of the Laodicean church. They rejected the Revelation 18 angel at the hand of Waggoner and Jones and the split in the church took place. The ones who fight for the truth and the ones who continue as Laodicean. The challenge is that the Revelation 18 angel represents the people just like the first, second and third angel. If they don’t give those messages anymore, it’s another angel who gives the messages. Are you among that people? That is the challenge. We hear that this angel is another movement because the movement of the third angel repulsed him so it becomes a separate company. Separate companies move on in this work and it becomes more intense as we come closer to the end.

Of Babylon, at the time brought to view in this prophecy, it is declared: “Her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.” Revelation 18:5. She has filled up the measure of her guilt, and destruction is about to fall upon her. But God still has a people in Babylon; and before the visitation of His judgments these faithful ones must be called out, that they partake not of her sins and “receive not of her plagues.” Hence the movement symbolized by the angel coming down from heaven, lightening the earth with his glory and crying mightily with a strong voice, announcing the sins of Babylon. {GC 604.1}

These people are another movement now moving together in teamwork. As they move forward they are identified as a movement. Just like the SDA church was a movement, William and his associates were a movement and now they are a movement. The other angel opens his heart and lets Jesus in. That is a movement that functions together. This people move forward while the Seventh Day Adventist church leadership rejected this message;

The end of all things is at hand. God is moving upon every mind that is open to receive the impressions of his Holy Spirit. He is sending out messengers that they may give the warning in every locality. God is testing the devotion of his churches and their willingness to render obedience to the Spirit’s guidance. Knowledge is to be increased. The messengers of Heaven are to be seen running to and fro, seeking in every possible way to warn the people of the coming judgments, and presenting the glad tidings of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. The standard of righteousness is to be exalted. The Spirit of God is moving upon men’s hearts, and those who respond to its influence will become lights in the world. Everywhere they are seen going forth to communicate to others the light they have received as they did after the descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. And as they let their light shine, they receive more and more of the Spirit’s power. The earth is lighted with the glory of God. {RH, July 16, 1895 par. 10}

The angel lightens the earth with the glory of God is actually the people who are responding to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  As they go forward from strength to strength.

But O, sad picture! those who do not submit to the influence of the Holy Spirit soon lose the blessings received when they acknowledged the truth as from Heaven. They fall into a cold, spiritless formality; they lose their interest in perishing souls: they have “left their first love.” And Christ says unto them, “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” He will take his Holy Spirit from the church, and give it to others who will appreciate it. {RH, July 16, 1895 par. 11}

Here is the forecast from her time:

There is no greater evidence that those who have received great light do not appreciate that light, than is given by their refusal to let their light shine upon those who are in darkness, and devoting their time and energies in celebrating forms and ceremonies. {RH, July 16, 1895 par. 12}

A church may continue as an organisation but be void of the spirit of God.  To liven it up they say we have to celebrate but it’s all empty and meaningless.

Thoughts of the inner work, the necessary purity of heart, are not entertained. The absence of harmony with God becomes apparent. The light grows dim, goes out; the candlestick has been removed. There is much exercising of man-made authority by those to whom God has not given his wisdom because they did not feel the need of the wisdom from above. {RH, July 16, 1895 par. 12}

What happens when there is no wisdom from above? There is manmade authority. The message continues with the faithful, the Revelation 18 angel and the ongoing work which we will continue to study. This angel will shine and the whole earth will be lit by his glory. We read it in Revelation 18:1 which is the parallel of Isaiah;

Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

That is the Revelation 18 angel. The glory of God shall be seen on those who don’t reject this message. Over the next four studies, we will explore the detail and the light of the angel of Revelation 18. Here we identify another movement and organisation because the first organisation that had the privilege of receiving the Revelation 18 when Jesus was knocking on the door, had the candle stick removed and they are no longer the active agency and it is the faithful ones that continue as a people. There comes another movement in terms of organisational acceptance in Gods eyes.

Amen.
