THE ONE TRUE GOD IN THE THREE ANGELS MESSAGES

To complement this page, please also see these extra study guides in PDF format - The Three Angels Message and Who God Is

There is a very important set of messages that has been proclaimed to the world since the 1800's. And we find these messages in Revelation 14. These messages are of so great importance that they are shown as being proclaimed with 'LOUD VOICES'. Sadly today, the majority of churches have turned away and rejected these messages and have become the very thing that these messages warns about - "FALLEN BABYLON".

Not only that, the very church in which God chose to give these messages to the world, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, has now itself rejected the foundation of this end time warning, and that is to worship the one true God. The whole world, including the Seventh-day Adventist Church, has been deceived into worshipping the false trinity god of Babylon. So on this page, we are going to show that the very foundation of the three angels messages is the call to turn to the one true God of the Bible.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before we begin going through the three angels' messages. Let us make a note of something important. In Revelation 14:1 it says that the 'special group' of end time saints, the 144,000 are those who have the FATHER'S name written in their foreheads. Why do they specifically have the Father's name? Keep that in your mind as we go through the three angel's messages.

FIRST ANGEL'S MESSAGE - Revelation 14:6-7 ...'And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, fear God, and give glory to HIM; for the hour of HIS judgment is come: and WORSHIP HIM that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.'

This first message is a call to worship the one true God. But who is 'HE' which is to be worshipped? Is this the trinity god that is worshipped by the world's churches today? Well, this message seems to be pointing to a singular God, saying 'Him' and 'His'. Let's take a look at the rest of the Bible to see if we can find out who this God is.

John 4:21-24 ...'Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship HIM. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.'

This is very interesting. Jesus tells the Samaritan woman that she knows NOT who she worships. But 'we', Jesus says, speaking of the Jews KNOW who we worship. And who was it whom Jesus says is the 'God' who is to be worshipped? A trinity '3 in 1' god? No, THE FATHER. And what about the Jews? Did they worship a trinity god? Because Jesus said that the Jews knew who they worshipped. Let's take a look at a conversation between Jesus and a Jewish scribe to confirm this.

Mark 12:28-32 ...'And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. ... And the scribe said unto him, well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but HE.'

So who is the 'one Lord'? Who is the 'one God'? Who is HE that Jesus and this scribe is talking about? Well, just look back at what Jesus said to the woman at the well. The one God is the Father. It is 'HE' who is to be worshipped, which Jesus confirmed in John 4 above. And it is 'HE' whom the angel is pointing us to in the first angel's message. And we can confirm this in many other Bible texts, look:

Ephesians 1:17 ...'That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.'

John 17:1-3 ...'Father ... this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.'

1 Corinthians 8:4-6 ...'As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) but to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.'

John 20:17 ...'Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.'

1 Corinthians 11:3 ...'But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.'

1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 ...'For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.'

2 John 1:3 ...'Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.'

Ephesians 1:2-3 ...'Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.'

So who is 'HE' who is the one true God according to Christ and the apostles? A trinity '3 in 1' god? No, it is God the Father. This is the God whose 'judgment has come' as confirmed in the first angel's message. And who is the judge of all according to the Bible? Let's look:

Hebrews 12:22-24 ...'But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, AND to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant.'

1 Timothy 2:5 ...'For there is one God, AND one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.'

Romans 2:16 ...'In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men BY Jesus Christ according to my gospel.'

So who is the judge of all? It is God. And who is God according to Jesus and the apostles? It is God the Father. And God the Father judges the world THROUGH Jesus Christ His Son. To whom God has committed and given authority to judge the world (John 5:27). For Christ is the Mediator between God and man.

Yes, the first angel's message is also a message connected with the seventh day Sabbath, because it is pointing us to the Creator of heaven and earth, and the seventh day Sabbath is a sign of God's creation, a memorial to His creative work. So the Sabbath is a very important part of this message. But which is more important - the Sabbath or the GOD OF the Sabbath? Or course, the God of the Sabbath is more important than the Sabbath itself. And who is the God who created heaven and earth according to the Bible? Let's look at some more verses to see:

Ephesians 3:9 ...'And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things BY Jesus Christ.'

Matthew 11:25 ...'At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.'

Acts 4:24-27 ...'And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against His Christ. For of a truth against Thy holy child Jesus, whom Thou hast anointed.'

Acts 14:15 ...'And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein.'

1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 ...'For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.'

So who is the God whom the first angel's message is calling us to worship? Who is the Creator and 'Lord of heaven and earth'? It is clearly God the Father. And He created all things through His very own Son, Jesus Christ. God the Father is clearly the 'HIM' who the first angel is warning the world to worship, not some '3 in 1' trinity god.

"A knowledge of God is the foundation of all true education and of all true service. It is THE ONLY REAL SAFEGUARD against temptation. It is THIS ALONE that can make us like God in character. This is THE KNOWLEDGE NEEDED BY ALL who are working for the uplifting of their fellow men. Transformation of character, purity of life, efficiency in service, adherence to correct principles, ALL DEPEND UPON A RIGHT KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. This knowledge is THE ESSENTIAL PREPARATION BOTH FOR this life and for the life to come. The KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY is understanding. Proverbs 9:10. Through a KNOWLEDGE OF HIM are given unto us 'all things that pertain unto life and godliness.' 2 Peter 1:3. 'This is life eternal,' SAID JESUS, 'that they might KNOW THEE THE ONLY TRUE GOD, AND JESUS CHRIST, whom THOU hast sent.' John 17:3." (E.White, Ministry of Healing, 1905, pp. 409-410)

Ephesians 1:17 ...'That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.'

"The Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father, is truly God in infinity, BUT NOT IN PERSONALITY." (E.White, Ms116, 1905, par.19)

"Our heavenly Father IS THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE, and Christ is the divine Son, the One equal with the Father." (E.White, Ms49, 1906, par.26)

SECOND ANGEL'S MESSAGE - Revelation 14:8 ...'And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.'

In Revelation 17:2 we are told that the 'Mother of Harlots', which is Roman Catholicism, has made the world 'drunk with her wine', representing the false teachings that the Roman Catholic Church has deceived the world with. And the various Protestant churches which have rejected truth in favor of holding onto Roman Catholic tradition, have now become 'fallen' and part of Babylon. Yes, the Roman Catholic Church has deceived the various churches into keeping Sunday holy instead of the Lord's 7th day Sabbath. But there is an even bigger deception with which Rome has deceived the world. Look at what Jude says:

Jude 1:3-4 ...'Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, AND our Lord Jesus Christ.'

And this is exactly what Babylon has done through the trinity god teaching. She has deceived the churches into 'DENYING the ONLY LORD GOD', which Jesus Himself confirmed in John 17:3 was His Father. And has deceived the churches into replacing God the Father with a '3 in 1' trinity god that the Bible never speaks of. Not only that, the Roman Catholic Church has deceived the various churches into denying Christ as the literal Son of God.

Yes, the Roman Catholic Church has deceived the various denominations with the false Sabbath (Sunday). But she has also deceived the denominations with an even greater deception. And that is getting them to worship a false god! The trinity teaching did not originate from the scriptures, but rather from early church bishops, during the 3rd and 4th century, who were steeped in Greek and Platonic philosophy. And now virtually the whole world has been made drunk with Babylon's wine.

THIRD ANGEL'S MESSAGE - Revelation 14:9-12 ...'And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, 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: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, AND the faith of Jesus.'

Revelation 13 also warns us about the mark OR name OR number of the beast. And this is something that many people miss. So many professed Christians are just focused on the MARK of the beast, that they forget we can also be deceived by the 'name OR number' of the beast too. Now we have another page dealing with this, so please take a look at our page - mark OR name OR number of the beast for more information.

Now the last verse of the third angel's message is very interesting. It tells us that the saints, the one's who are not deceived by Babylon and the beast, are the one's 'keeping the commandments of God AND the faith of Jesus.' Remember the 144,000 earlier in Revelation 14 have the FATHER'S name in their foreheads? Well, these are the one's in the very last days keeping God's commandments and the faith of Jesus. And what is the very first commandment?

Exodus 20:3 ...'Thou shalt have no other gods before ME.'

So we are to have no other 'gods' (PLURAL) before 'Me' (SINGULAR). We have already established that the Father is the one true God. So who is the 'ME' in the first commandment? It is God the Father. He is that 'singular' God whom the world is to worship. But what does the trinity god teaching do? It replaces God the Father, a singular God, with a PLURAL '3 in 1' god, which the first commandment tells us not to do. So who are the one's keeping the commandments of God? It is those who believe in and worship the one true God, the Father.

What about the 'faith of Jesus'? Well, what did Jesus proclaim in John 17:3? He proclaimed His Father to be the 'ONLY TRUE GOD'. Not only that, Jesus confirmed that He was the true, literal Son of God the Father, look:

Matthew 16:15-18 ...'He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.'

"Peter declared, 'THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.' ... Peter had expressed the truth which is THE FOUNDATION OF THE CHURCH'S FAITH, and Jesus now honored him as the representative of the whole body of believers." (Desire of Ages, 412-413)

Upon what was Christ to build His church? Upon the very confession of FAITH, which Peter confessed, that Jesus Christ is in fact the TRUE, REAL, LITERAL Son OF the living God, the Father. And if you look at our page IS JESUS THE LITERAL SON OF GOD? you will see that the Bible does confirm this fact. But what does the trinity god teaching do? It says that Jesus is NOT the literal Son of God the Father. So not only does the trinity god teaching break the first commandment. It rejects the faith of Jesus in saying that Christ is not the real Son of God. This is a very serious matter friends. Just look at what denying the true Father and Son relationship is:

1 John 2:22-23 ...'Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.'

'Oh but the trinity does not deny the Father and Son'. I'm afraid it does my friend. If you actually look at the trinity teaching, you will see that it says Jesus never had a beginning and has always existed alongside the other two beings. And what does this mean? It means that according to the trinity teaching, Jesus CANNOT be the real Son of God. And if you look at our IS JESUS THE LITERAL SON OF GOD page, you will see an official quote from the Seventh-day Adventist Church saying that Jesus is NOT the real Son of God! And according to 1 John 2 above, this is ANTICHRIST! A teaching direct from that 'antichrist' church, the Roman Catholic Church.

"BE NOT DECEIVED; MANY WILL DEPART FROM THE FAITH, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. We have now before us the alpha of this danger. The Omega will be of a most startling nature. WE NEED TO STUDY THE WORDS THAT CHRIST UTTERED IN THE PRAYER that He offered just before His trial and crucifixion. 'These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might KNOW THEE THE ONLY TRUE GOD, AND JESUS CHRIST, WHOM THOU HAST SENT." (1 Selected Messages, 196-198)

Sadly today, we have church leaders saying that the Father and Son truth has nothing to do with the three angels' messages, and they fail to realize that this is the very foundation of these messages. And worshipping the one true God is also the foundation to keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Remember, the saints, as confirmed in Revelation 14:1 are sealed with THE FATHER'S NAME in their foreheads. Signifying that they are the one's worshipping 'the only true God' (John 17:3), 'the only Lord God' (Jude 1:4), the 'one God - THE FATHER' (1 Corinthians 8:6). The trinity is a false god friend, and it is being used in this ecumenical movement to unite the different church bodies into Babylon, to be led by that 'mother', the Roman Catholic Church. Please study this for yourself. Pray and ask God to open your eyes to this.

If you are thinking, 'where is the Holy Spirit', then please see our page - WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?

"WE ARE IN DANGER OF BECOMING A SISTER TO FALLEN BABYLON, of allowing our churches to become corrupted, and filled with every foul spirit, a cage for every unclean and hateful bird; and will we be clear UNLESS WE MAKE DECIDED MOVEMENTS TO CURE THE EXISTING EVIL?" (E.White, MR, vol.21, par.380)
