Loud Cry of the Third Angel, November 25
And after these things I saw another angel come down from
heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his
glory.
Revelation 18:1
.
I saw another mighty angel commissioned to descend to the earth,
to unite his voice with the third angel, and give power and force to his
message.
A work of worldwide extent and unwonted power is here foretold.
Great power and glory were imparted to the angel, and as he de-
scended, the earth was lightened with his glory. The light which attended
this angel penetrated everywhere, as he cried mightily, with a strong
voice, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habi-
tation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every
unclean and hateful bird.”
Revelation 18:2
. The message of the fall of
Babylon, as given by the second angel, is repeated, with the additional
mention of the corruptions which have been entering the churches since
1844. The work of this angel comes in at the right time to join in the last
great work of the third angel’s message as it swells to a loud cry. And
the people of God are thus prepared to stand in the hour of temptation,
which they are soon to meet. I saw a great light resting upon them, and
they united to fearlessly proclaim the third angel’s message.
Angels were sent to aid the mighty angel from heaven, and I heard
voices which seemed to sound everywhere, “Come out of her, my peo-
ple.” ... The glory of God rested upon the patient, waiting saints, and
they fearlessly gave the last solemn warning, proclaiming the fall of
Babylon and calling upon God’s people to come out of her that they
might escape her fearful doom.
The light that was shed upon the waiting ones penetrated everywhere,
and those in the churches who had any light, who had not heard and
rejected the three messages, obeyed the call and left the fallen churches.
