Revelation 14:6-7

“I saw an angel flying in midheaven, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth.” (Revelation 14:6)

Following the glorious portrayal of the Lamb standing with his people on Mount Zion celebrating their victory, we encounter a series of judgments on those who follow the beast: three angelic messages of judgment (14:6–13) followed by two visions of judgment (14:14–20). In 14:6–13 three angels issue proclamations of coming judgment (14:6–11) with the first one being more of a warning to worship God or else. These angelic messages are followed by a call to endurance for the saints and the announcement of blessing on those who die in the Lord (14:12–13). Outline c. Proclamations of judgment and reward (14:6–13) i. First angel: Proclaiming the eternal gospel (14:6–7) ii. Second angel: The fall of Babylon (14:8) iii. Third angel: Judgment of the beast’s followers (14:9–11) iv. God’s people called to endurance (14:12) v. Second beatitude: Blessing on those who die in the Lord (14:13)
