The "three angels' messages" are a series of messages found in Revelation 14, which Ellen G. White describes as central to the mission and identity of God's people in the last days. Here are the key points from her writings: - The three angels of Revelation 14 symbolize the work of those who proclaim the first, second, and third angels’ messages. These messages serve as a warning to the world and are especially relevant for people living in the last days (LS 429.1; 6T 17.4). - The angels are not literal beings heard by human ears, but represent God's people, enlightened by the Spirit, who proclaim these messages in their order. - The first angel's message announces the approach of the hour of God's judgment. - The second angel's message warns of the fall of Babylon, which represents false systems of worship. - The third angel's message warns against worshiping the beast and his image, and emphasizes the importance of keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus (EW 254; 1SG 165.2; 5T 383.2). - These messages are described as an "anchor" for God's people, protecting them from Satan's deceptions (EW 256.2). - The messages are linked together and are to be proclaimed to all the world, preparing people for Christ’s second coming (6T 406.5; 5T 455.2). - Ellen White emphasizes that these messages are not just historical, but are to have a powerful influence on religious experience as long as time lasts. For a more detailed account, Ellen White refers readers to her book The Great Controversy, especially chapters such as “Heralds of the Morning,” “A Warning Rejected,” and “God's Law Immutable” (EW 303.3). In summary, the three angels' messages are a call to worship God, reject false worship, and keep His commandments, forming the core of the Adventist movement’s prophetic mission.
