“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast and his image, and received the mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” Revelation 14:9-11 King James Version.
“When Christ entered the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary to perform the closing work of the atonement, he committed to his servants the last message of mercy to be given to the world. Such is the warning the third angel of Revelation 14. Immediately following its proclamation, the Son of man is seen by the prophet coming in glory to reap the harvest of the earth.” Spirit of Prophecy The Great Controversy Between Christ & Satan, Vol 4, 1884, Ellen G. White, p. 273.1.
The Last message of mercy is to turn our eyes and worship the One True God and His Son while keeping the Seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday). The warning is not to worship the false trinity god and the false Sunday rest day (they go hand in hand) imposed by Rome and the United States. We are to warn the brethren and people of the world of the consequence of disregarding this solemn message.
Those who drink from the apostate and unbiblical doctrines of Rome will receive the wrath of God without mercy.
Turning our eyes to the One True God the Father is looking at His Son Jesus Christ who is our example and our perfect righteousness. His complete obedient life to the will of the Father can be ours by faith. His perfect submission to the Father can be ours by faith. His victory over sins and reliance on the Father’s mercy can be ours by faith. As we turn our eyes to Jesus, the Son of God, we become transformed. Changed into His likeness by His faith. Jesus is highly exalted and all authority is given Him by the Father. Thus we can be like Jesus. Faith in turning away from sin. Not loving the world but loving His Word. Doing the Father’s will and not ours. Our only part in this is to make a choice to live by faith the faith of Jesus Christ. Our free will must yield to the Spirit of Christ. Left to our own folly we will be lost.
The message of mercy then is to seek the Lord now when time is still at hand. There will be a closing time and no more mercy will be given.
The followers of Jesus Christ are given this message to give to the world. Our lives will be peculiar than the world. Our words and actions will rebuke the world of sin. Our testimony will bring relief and soothe the confusion of those who seek the truth. Christians are called to represent Jesus Christ now as they are lead by His Spirit. Noah, Elijah, John the Baptist, John the beloved, the rest of the prophets, apostles and the early SDA pioneers, the remnants are tasked to give this message and warning. And to those who read this message you are called to join in this proclamation of mercy to a merciless world.
There is only one God who sent His Son to this world. God is love. His law is love. A loving Christian is a messenger of mercy to a dying world.
Sincerely in the Blessed Hope.
