​​Welcome  to    Joy By Surprise

Just prior to the return of the Messiah, the whole world is going to hear three specific messages. They contain the final warnings man is given before the seven last plagues are poured out on the human race. It is absolutely vital that you understand and accept these three messages; because failure to do so will result in trouble at the very least, and the loss of eternal life at the worst. The three messages are proclaimed as it were by "three angels flying in the midst of heaven." Angels are messengers of Elohim.

The First Angel's message is a call to worship the Creator, the One who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the fountains of waters. The first angel's message is referred to as the Everlasting Gospel. You may think that you already know the Everlasting Gospel, but compare your knowledge with these facts:

• "Fear YaHuWaH " This means to hold Him in reverential awe; to put your faith in His only begotten Son and to treat His Holy Word, the Torah, with respect.
• "And give glory to Him" This is self explanatory. It means to render to the Most High the praise, honor and obedience which is His due.
• "And worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." This command calls attention to a fact repeatedly mentioned in the Scriptures: that the universe was created by YaHuWaH Almighty!
  Psalm 102:25 says: Of old hast Thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.
  In Isaiah 45:12 YaHuWaH says: I have made the Earth, and created man upon it: I, even My hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their army have I commanded.

There is no room here for the false teaching of evolution: no place for the popular notion that man is the end product of a long line of missing links and a direct descendent of apes. This angel's message, which is a vital part of the Everlasting Gospel, calls for faith in a Creator Elohim!

How does the true believer of the creation account in the first chapter of Genesis demonstrate his/her faith in the Creator? The answer is:

By keeping the Sabbath commandment which is a memorial of the creation.

Did you notice that reference to the creation? It is virtually the same as in the First Angel's message:

And worship Him that made Heaven, and Earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

In other words, this angel calls upon earth's inhabitants to worship the Creator: to jettison their fatal attraction with the false theory of evolution and to keep the Sabbath commandment which commemorates the creation of our universe!

Are you willing to accept that first stunning fact?

The second angel's message is a call to purity and sanctification. It is a call to all believers to forsake the sins of Babylon the Great. For not only will Babylon fall (collapse into ruins); but she has already fallen in a drunken stupor of fornication and vice.

Fornication is illicit sexual intercourse. At its lower, physical level it involves sexual acts between unmarried couples. At its higher, spiritual level it involves the human race bowing down before evil spirits and demons who have absolutely no right to accept the worship of mankind.

The second angel's message is a call to "Come out of Babylon," the spiritual capital of violence and sexual depravity. This angel's message is a call for purity of body and soul. At a time when moral standards are collapsing, when adultery, fornication, rape, homosexuality, incest and child-abuse are rampant - and even glamorized by the media - this angel's message calls believers to forsake these popular sins and to come apart to worship YaHuWaH Almighty.

Are you willing to accept that second stunning fact?

Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots, is a devilish metropolis on high from which Satan directs his rebellion against YaHuWaH the Almighty Elohim of Israel. Every concept and act of depravity has its origin in Babylon the Great, or rather in the mind of its ruler - Satan! Babylon's total collapse is forecast in Revelation chapter 18. When it occurs the stock-markets of the world will crash - never to recover! World trade will come to a shuddering standstill and gold will become worthless. Read about it in Revelation chapter 18 and James 5:1-6.

The third angel's message is without a doubt the most awesome warning the world will ever receive. It is a warning every soul must understand and heed. Failure to do so will result in fearsome punishment. Let me quote the passage in full:

Bible warnings must not be lightly dismissed. It is undoubtedly the greatest folly to think that there is no YaHuWaH. The Bible says:

The Third Angel warns against accepting the Mark of the Beast. He goes on to describe the torment of those who receive the Mark: "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of YaHuWaH, 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:"

'What kind of talk,' you may well ask, 'is this? Surely this angel cannot be serious! What is the Mark of the Beast anyway?' The answer - very briefly - is as follows: The Mark of the Beast is Satan's counterfeit of YaHuWaH 's Sign or Signature. One way it manifests itself is in the observance of heathen religious festivals (Sunday observance, Ash Wednesday, Easter, Christmas etc.) which Satan has foisted on the unsuspecting Christian Church. See our articles on Sunday, Christmas/Easter and the Mark of the Beast.

• The First Angel's message was a call to worship and obey the Creator, whose Sign is the true Sabbath days in the Sacred Calendar.
  

  Ezekiel 20:11

  And I gave them My statutes, and shewed them My judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them. 12: Moreover also I gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am YaHuWaH that sanctify them.

• The Third Angel's message is a terrifying divine warning to all the earth not to accept the Mark.

Are you willing to accept that third stunning fact?

And what will be the result of these three angel messages? Sad to say the vast majority of earth's inhabitants will reject them. Comments such as: 'pathetic, farcical' and 'ridiculous' will fill the air. It will be a testing time indeed. The options are plain to see:

• Have faith in the Creator and keep His Sabbath days.
• Or believe in the theory of Evolution and keep whichever festival you please.

How will the human race react to the messages of the three angels? The answer, I repeat, is: the vast majority of mankind will contemptuously reject their messages. But, thanks be to YaHuWaH, a few will accept. They will begin to keep YaHuWaH's Sabbath commandments: those He has specified in the Torah. Sad to say, however, these believers will become a target for persecution. Just like the prophets and martyrs of old, they will be treated with disdain and many will even be put to death. However, some protection from the demons of the Abyss is promised to the faithful.

Obedience to YaHuWaH is not popular these days. Millions of Christians believe that the Torah of YaHuWaH - including the Ten Commandments - is obsolete: it's been done away with: it has been nailed to the cross: it's been replaced by Faith in the Lamb. The moment one mentions the importance of obedience, a cry goes up: 'Oh, you're preaching salvation by Works.'

The truth is: Faith in YaHuWaH has always been the prerequisite to obedience. Indeed obedience is not possible without faith: and most certainly forgiveness is not possible without the blood of the Lamb. The whole sacrificial system of ancient Israel, which pointed to Calvary, is testimony to this fact. But what of obedience now? With these telling words the third angel points out those who do accept his message. They keep the commandments of YaHuWaH and also have faith in YAHUSHUA the Messiah. Will you be among them?
