Revelation 14:6-12: The Three Angels' Messages
Bible prophecy is being fulfilled by the day. In these present times, the end times, the Three Angels' Messages are ever-present, urgent reminders that the return of Jesus is nigh, even at the doors. These messages give us clear indicators to look for, to prepare for the last events.
The First Angel's Message - True Worship
The first angel is calling God's people to true worship in Him, because the hour of His judgment is come.
The Second Angel's Message - False Worship
The second angel is warning against false worship. Spiritual Babylon is fallen and has made the nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
The Third Angel's Message - The Mark and The Seal
Jesus is warning us that the wrath of God is going to be poured out in full. It won't be held back.
True worship is the keeping of the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus and patience through life's trials and/or the end time tribulation.
False worship is worship of the image of the beast and the mark of his name—via one or more of the following:

The First Angel's Message - True Worship
The first angel is calling God's people to true worship in Him, because the hour of His judgment is come.
Revelation 14:6-7 And I saw another angel fly 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, saying with a loud voice, 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.
The Second Angel's Message - False Worship
The second angel is warning against false worship. Spiritual Babylon is fallen and has made the nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Revelation 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The Third Angel's Message - The Mark and The Seal
Jesus is warning us that the wrath of God is going to be poured out in full. It won't be held back.
Revelation 14:9-11 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his 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 for ever 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.
Conclusion
True worship is the keeping of the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus and patience through life's trials and/or the end time tribulation.
False worship is worship of the image of the beast and the mark of his name—via one or more of the following:
- A falling away from Christianity in some way (lukewarmness or coldness; Laodicea; Revelation 3:14-22).
- A church or doctrine that goes against the keeping of the commandments of God, or has changed the commandments of God to suit its own purposes.
- A church or doctrine not founded in faith in Jesus (His testimony), but deviates from it in some way(s).
- A church or doctrine guilty of fornication; either adultery or the worship of idols (Strong's G4204), or both.
