What Is the Significance of the Third Angel of Revelation 14?

Revelation 14:9-12 describes an angel warning the people of the earth about the Mark of the Beast. I explain the significance of this warning.

The Third Angel of Revelation 14 Video Transcript

Revelation 14 records the announcement of three angels. The third angel will warn the people of the earth to not accept the Mark of the Beast. The angel will state that those who accept the Mark of the Beast will face eternal punishment:

"(9) 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, (10) 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: (11) 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. (12) Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." (Revelation 14:9-12)

The timing of this announcement is likely going to come during the Great Tribulation when people will face pressure and be tempted to accept the Mark of the Beast.

Some will reject the Mark of the Beast and will die to remain loyal to the Lord instead of pledging their loyalty to the Antichrist.
