[0:54] revelation chapter 14 verse number six
[0:56] the bible says and i saw
[0:58] another angel fly in the midst of heaven
[1:01] having the everlasting gospel to preach
[1:04] unto them that dwell on the earth
[1:06] and to every nation and kindred and
[1:08] tongue and people
[1:10] saying with a loud voice fear god and
[1:13] give glory to him
[1:14] for the hour of his judgment is come and
[1:17] worship him
[1:18] that made heaven and earth and the sea
[1:21] and the fountains of the waters
[1:24] as we look at our text we find this is
[1:26] the vision that john is having now the
[1:28] first part of the chapter
[1:30] as we mentioned last week we dealt with
[1:32] the lamb standing on mount zion
[1:34] with 144 000 and talking about that
[1:37] being a future reference we use the
[1:40] uh descriptive term last week that
[1:42] chapter 14 is like a table of contents
[1:45] for the following sections and there's
[1:48] chronological sequences are
[1:50] taking place in chapter 15 and 16 that
[1:53] we
[1:54] talk about the end of chapter 14 that
[1:56] are differently
[1:57] in time so here in chapter 14
[2:00] we find in verse 6 john sees another
[2:03] angel
[2:04] angel the word literally means messenger
[2:07] and so in fact if you were with us in
[2:10] chapters
[2:10] 2 and chapter 3 the angel of the church
[2:14] to the seven churches that word angel
[2:17] also means messenger now
[2:19] those messages there are not currently
[2:22] in the revelation reveal maybe we'll go
[2:24] back and do that
[2:25] but we preached a sunday night series
[2:27] through the seven churches
[2:28] and so maybe we'll try to go back and
[2:30] link those into the revelation revealed
[2:32] series so you can see them
[2:34] but we find here that this angel appears
[2:37] and he's
[2:38] flying in the midst of heaven now the
[2:40] heaven here
[2:41] references the second heaven we talk
[2:45] about in scripture three heavens
[2:47] first second and third heaven first
[2:50] heaven being the firmament
[2:51] the blue sky that we see the second
[2:55] being the outside of the firmament outer
[2:57] space area
[2:59] and then the third heaven being the
[3:00] heaven that is god's abode
[3:03] so this messenger is in the second
[3:06] heaven
[3:06] he's flying around and his message is
[3:09] penetrating into the first heaven and
[3:10] you're hearing it
[3:11] on earth so during this time there's
[3:13] going to be an angel
[3:15] that flies around so nearing the end of
[3:17] the tribulation period
[3:19] there's this angel who comes and he is
[3:22] proclaiming
[3:23] the everlasting gospel
[3:27] so he's preaching the gospel now
[3:30] that's unusual
[3:34] god's ministry of getting the gospel to
[3:37] the world
[3:38] had been since his time on earth
[3:42] through the propagation of the gospel
[3:43] through the church we call it the great
[3:45] commission
[3:46] in matthew 28 and mark chapter 16 the
[3:49] great commission
[3:49] given so that people can hear the gospel
[3:53] and so we find here though we'll know
[3:55] this is an interesting thing to help
[3:57] those that
[3:58] believe in a post-tribulational rapture
[4:02] there would be no need for the angel to
[4:04] declare the gospel if the church was
[4:06] still on earth
[4:08] but the church has been raptured out and
[4:10] the bible teaches and we hear
[4:12] bible baptist church believe the bible
[4:14] in a
[4:15] pre-tribulational rapture so before the
[4:19] tribulation begins
[4:21] now an interesting thing to remember is
[4:24] just because
[4:25] we believe in a pre-tribulation does not
[4:28] mean the church won't see
[4:30] tribulation against it there'll be days
[4:32] that it could be hard against and
[4:34] sometimes it seems like we're getting
[4:36] really close to that taking place
[4:38] here in the united states of america but
[4:40] just because the bible teaches
[4:42] pre-tribulational rapture doesn't mean
[4:44] the church isn't going to go through
[4:45] hard days
[4:47] so the pre-tribulational rapture takes
[4:49] place the church is
[4:50] taken out now god's formula for the 70th
[4:54] week of daniel the
[4:55] seven year tribulation period there's
[4:58] three gospel
[5:00] outputs that are mentioned one is one we
[5:03] talked about last week
[5:04] the 144 000 witnesses the jewish
[5:08] evangelists that are
[5:09] sent out to preach the gospel the second
[5:13] output of the gospel is the two
[5:14] witnesses we'll talk more about them at
[5:16] another time
[5:17] but the two witnesses in their ministry
[5:20] here upon the earth
[5:21] the third output of the gospel is this
[5:25] messenger angel here in revelation
[5:28] chapter 14.
[5:29] now it's interesting in galatians
[5:32] chapter 1 verse 8 the bible says but
[5:34] though we
[5:35] or an angel from heaven preach any other
[5:38] gospel
[5:39] unto you than that which we have
[5:41] preached unto you
[5:43] let him be accursed and so this verse
[5:46] here is talking about
[5:47] those that are preaching another gospel
[5:50] so the apostle paul said even
[5:52] we or another angel now we know that
[5:54] there were demonic forces
[5:56] and angel demons are fallen angels
[6:00] that fell from heaven with lucifer and
[6:03] so
[6:04] there are demonic forces who are
[6:05] preaching another gospel
[6:08] now if you were with us last week during
[6:11] revival services here at bible baptist
[6:13] church or i'd encourage you to go back
[6:15] and check those great weekly brother
[6:16] dave mccracken
[6:18] go back and check the videos out for our
[6:20] revival service week
[6:21] and you'll find it centered around the
[6:23] gospel it was a revival of the gospel
[6:26] and
[6:26] we learned this important truth there is
[6:28] one gospel
[6:30] and the gospel can be defined in first
[6:33] corinthians
[6:34] for us in chapter 15 and 26
[6:38] words for i delivered unto you the first
[6:41] of all that which i also received how
[6:44] that
[6:45] how many in words corinthians 26
[6:49] read it out loud okay let's read christ
[6:52] died
[6:52] for our sins according to the scriptures
[6:55] and that he was buried and that he rose
[6:59] again the third day according
[7:03] that christ died for our sins according
[7:05] to the scriptures that he was buried
[7:07] and that he rose again the third day
[7:09] according to the scriptures that's the
[7:11] summation of the gospel
[7:13] the gospel the good news has always been
[7:16] about
[7:17] jesus christ and him coming to this
[7:20] earth
[7:21] and being the savior of all mankind
[7:24] so the everlasting gospel is the same
[7:27] gospel now there are those who defer say
[7:28] oh no
[7:29] this is not talking about salvation it's
[7:32] talking about
[7:33] what's happening in verse seven i do not
[7:36] believe that god would
[7:38] ever change the gospel message
[7:42] in order to operate differently
[7:44] dispensation we know that in the
[7:47] old testament time period in the
[7:48] dispensations of law and
[7:50] man human government and all of those
[7:52] and under the law period
[7:54] all of those dispensations has always
[7:57] been salvation by grace through faith
[8:00] it has always been that they were
[8:01] looking forward to the messiah
[8:03] in the age of grace we looked back to
[8:06] jesus
[8:06] and so on this the front side of the
[8:09] cross
[8:10] it was looking forward to the messiah on
[8:12] this side of the cross it's looking back
[8:15] to the savior of the world jesus christ
[8:17] and i'm excited here in a few weeks
[8:19] we're going to celebrate
[8:20] resurrection sunday and kind of
[8:22] emphasize that a little bit more that
[8:23] day but
[8:24] really every sunday's resurrection
[8:26] sunday because that's why we meet on
[8:28] sunday
[8:29] because he's alive and we get to
[8:30] celebrate that and i better get back to
[8:33] chapter
[8:34] 14 or else i'm going to go into
[8:35] preaching mode but there's this
[8:38] messenger the angel the mission he's
[8:40] empowered to preach that everlasting
[8:42] gospel on earth
[8:43] this is the only instance in which an
[8:45] angel had the ability to preach the
[8:47] gospel though
[8:48] in scriptures in acts chapter 10 verses
[8:50] three through six the bible says this
[8:53] he saw a vision talking about a a man
[8:56] here named cornelius who saw
[8:59] a vision about the ninth hour of the day
[9:02] an angel of god coming into him saying
[9:04] to him cornelius
[9:06] and when he looked on him he was afraid
[9:08] and said what is it lord
[9:09] and he said unto him thy prayers the
[9:11] nine alms are come up for a memorial
[9:13] before god
[9:14] and now send men to joppa and call for
[9:17] one simon whose surname is peter
[9:20] he lodgeth with one simon attainer whose
[9:22] house is by the seaside
[9:24] he shall tell thee what thou ought it is
[9:27] to do and so the request is given to
[9:30] cornelius an angel appeared
[9:31] the angel could have preached the gospel
[9:33] but instead
[9:35] he said go get peter and peter's going
[9:36] to tell you what to do and so
[9:38] this one instance in revelation 14 is
[9:41] the only instance i found in scripture
[9:43] recorded that an angel preaches the
[9:46] gospel
[9:47] here in chapter 14 verse number six
[9:51] but we find also as we mentioned in
[9:53] galatians 1
[9:54] 8 the verse about though we are an angel
[9:56] from heaven
[9:57] preach any other so the gospel's the
[10:00] same
[10:01] there's not a change to the gospel but i
[10:03] want you to notice who he's preaching to
[10:05] he says unto them that dwell on the
[10:07] earth and to every nation
[10:09] and kindred and tongue and people
[10:13] no one is left out isn't that amazing
[10:17] during the tribulation period when the
[10:19] beast of the antichrist the false
[10:21] prophet
[10:22] and satan is working at their best to
[10:25] deceive
[10:26] mankind god's still sending out gospel
[10:29] witness
[10:30] god's still preaching the gospel in
[10:32] other words i could say it to you this
[10:34] way there will be
[10:35] no excuse during the tribulation period
[10:38] for anyone to say i never heard the
[10:40] gospel the gospel will
[10:42] be preached during the tribulation
[10:45] period
[10:46] now the bible also teaches that those
[10:48] that have rejected jesus christ
[10:51] before the rapture of the church that
[10:53] they will be without excuse
[10:55] they will not have opportunity to be
[10:57] saved
[10:58] but those that are living here that had
[11:00] not heard up into this time
[11:02] will hear every kindred
[11:05] every nation every tongue and every
[11:08] people
[11:09] will hear from this angel the messenger
[11:12] of the gospel
[11:14] now that's a pretty powerful thing when
[11:16] you think about it
[11:17] every person will hear the gospel during
[11:20] the tribulation
[11:21] time but here's the emphasis saying with
[11:23] a loud voice so he's
[11:25] preaching the gospel but he's also
[11:27] giving emphasis to some areas
[11:30] it says to fear god and to give glory to
[11:33] him
[11:34] for the hour of judgment has come he's
[11:37] revealing to them
[11:38] yes you need to accept jesus christ as
[11:41] your
[11:42] god and as your savior you need to give
[11:44] glory to him
[11:45] for the hour of judgment is coming time
[11:47] is short
[11:48] there is the judgment of god that's
[11:50] coming the battle of armageddon is
[11:52] getting ready to place god's wrath is
[11:54] being poured out upon the earth
[11:56] there's a few moments left to be saved
[11:59] this gospel message is coming out
[12:02] but the parts here that he's emphasizing
[12:06] to them is
[12:07] to give glory to god now remember the
[12:09] antichrist
[12:10] give glory to me praise me the
[12:13] antichrist is saying serve me
[12:16] worship me or you be doomed be put to
[12:19] death
[12:20] jesus christ is saying worship me
[12:23] come to me or you're gonna be eternally
[12:25] damned in a lake of fire
[12:27] and so there's these deferring messages
[12:29] that are happening here
[12:31] and i think what is happening is that
[12:32] the angel is giving the message of the
[12:35] gospel
[12:36] but he's emphasizing and he's making it
[12:39] relatable to what exactly they're facing
[12:42] at that time
[12:44] also it says and worship him that made
[12:46] heaven
[12:47] and earth and the sea and the fountains
[12:49] of waters
[12:50] perhaps this is important because people
[12:53] have accepted
[12:54] evolution rather than creations account
[12:57] of god
[12:58] if these people are those who worship
[13:00] the
[13:01] creature more than create as romans 1 25
[13:03] tells us
[13:04] who changed the truth of god into a lie
[13:07] and worshipped and served the creature
[13:10] more than the creator who is blessed
[13:12] forever amen
[13:14] mankind during this time is going to buy
[13:16] into the lie they're buying into it now
[13:19] hook line and sinker
[13:20] that evolution that there's no creator
[13:24] that there's
[13:25] no purpose now i don't know about you
[13:26] but it's kind of depressing
[13:28] if you believe in evolution that you're
[13:30] a cosmic
[13:31] accident that some cosmic gases collided
[13:34] and made a
[13:35] cosmic belch that brought the world into
[13:37] existence
[13:39] and that you're an accident that's kind
[13:41] of discouraging
[13:43] that you have no purpose that you're
[13:46] born and then you die
[13:47] and there's nothing after that that's
[13:49] kind of discouraging
[13:50] unless you believe the creation account
[13:53] that the hand of god in the word of god
[13:55] that there was a creator
[13:56] involved in the process and that he
[13:58] fearfully and wonderfully made us in our
[14:01] mother's womb and that life was brought
[14:04] to you and i when we were in our
[14:06] mother's womb and by the way that's
[14:08] where life
[14:08] starts is at conception that's where
[14:11] life starts god created
[14:14] babies to be born he gave them a heart
[14:16] he gave them life he gave them breath
[14:19] in their mother's room that's a real
[14:21] person in there
[14:22] but you know this world that we live in
[14:24] they've shifted from that
[14:26] they said it's just a bag of molecules
[14:29] and a bunch of different cells they
[14:31] don't
[14:31] recognize it as human life and they've
[14:34] depreciated that
[14:36] and they worship the creation more than
[14:38] the creator they're more concerned about
[14:40] the dying tree
[14:42] or the animal that's dying out and not
[14:44] about
[14:45] life and human life and taking care of
[14:48] people
[14:49] and so the sadness is that the creature
[14:52] has been worshipped more than the
[14:53] creator and so the message given here
[14:57] is the grace of god the salvation of god
[15:00] to give him glory but also worship him
[15:02] because he made heaven
[15:03] and earth and the sea and the fountains
[15:06] of waters
[15:07] and at that time when this message is
[15:09] being delivered it's in the tribulation
[15:11] period
[15:12] guess what's happened water's turned to
[15:13] blood the grass has been scorched
[15:16] the trees have been burned there's a lot
[15:18] of terrible stuff happening upon the
[15:20] earth
[15:21] to the creation now i look forward and
[15:24] it's just a thought for you to think
[15:25] about
[15:26] is that after the period of the
[15:28] tribulation period
[15:30] when the earth has been scorched and
[15:33] problems have come across it
[15:34] the under the plagues that god has
[15:37] poured out the
[15:38] seven vol bold judgments the seven
[15:41] trumpet judgments and
[15:43] all of the judgments that have taken
[15:44] place there
[15:46] there's a period of time during the
[15:47] millennial kingdom when all that's
[15:48] restored
[15:50] and god's blessings come back and all
[15:52] those things happen because of the god's
[15:55] wonderful grace and his manifestation of
[15:58] power
[15:58] over creation and so satan which is
[16:02] designed
[16:02] his plan is to get men's eyes off of god
[16:06] satan is the author of the evolution
[16:09] theory now charles darwin pinned the
[16:12] words down on paper
[16:14] but satan was in the process because
[16:16] evolution helps get your eyes off of god
[16:19] and gets them somewhere else and that's
[16:22] always been satan's plan to distract
[16:25] and detour people from the message of
[16:29] god
[16:29] and the grace of god and the gospel of
[16:32] god
[16:33] so the challenge here the angel
[16:36] preaching is to get your eyes back on
[16:38] your creator
[16:39] and that's none other than jesus christ
[16:41] we know in john 1 1
[16:42] in the beginning was the word and the
[16:44] word was with god and the word was
[16:46] god verse 2 the same was in the
[16:48] beginning with god
[16:50] and all things were made by him
[16:53] in john 1 14 it says then the word
[16:55] became flesh and dwelt among us
[16:57] and we beheld his glory as the only
[16:59] begotten of the father full of grace and
[17:01] truth course
[17:02] john 1 14 reveals us jesus christ is god
[17:05] and he was in the beginning and he was
[17:07] involved in creation code we could
[17:08] simply say
[17:09] jesus christ is the creator of the world
[17:13] he's the author of salvation he's the
[17:15] mediator between god and man
[17:17] what a wonderful thought that you and i
[17:21] can think about today that god's formula
[17:25] for salvation is always available
[17:30] even in hearing the earth's darkest days
[17:32] during the tribulation period
[17:35] god's still in the business of sharing
[17:38] the gospel with people
[17:39] so that they can have hope and they can
[17:41] be saved
[17:43] i want to thank you for taking the time
[17:44] to tune in today next week we'll talk
[17:46] about the second angel
[17:48] that appears in revelation chapter 14.
