"Having the everlasting gospel to preach"

Text: Revelation 14:6

ANGELIC INVOLVEMENT IN PREACHING

The End Times would see many unexpected features. In this text, we read about an angel involved in preaching the everlasting gospel of God.

“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel
to preach to those who dwell on the earth—
to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—
saying with a loud voice,
‘Fear God and give glory to Him,
for the hour of His judgment has come;
and worship Him who made heaven and earth,
the sea and springs of water.'”
Revelation 14:6-7
