White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 472. However, the judgment is not only for … Continue reading –>

The second and third angels’ messages of Revelation are a warning to all who do not heed the divine call of the first angel’s message. If people continue on their wrong path, they will partake of God’s seven last plagues, which are seen as “the wine of the wrath of God” (Rev. 14:10), and this … Continue reading –>
