Gracious Father, we thank you for this day.

We thank you for having already blessed us.

We could go home tonight and already we would know that you were smiling upon us.

But Father, we have 1 seminar left And we have 1 more sermon in the evening.

We ask that you continue to bless Brother Skeet in that message.

And Lord, at this hard time of the day with the afternoon malaise coming upon us, we ask for your blessing.

Help us to stay awake and not just physically awake, but spiritually sober to the reality you are trying to get us to understand.

So Father, bless my brothers in a very special way we pray in Jesus' name.

Alright, some of these things are super basic, but some of them just try to be comprehensive with all about Seventh-day Adventism.

This is the Seventh-day Adventist logo, amen?

This is not, there's no conspiracy theory here, there's no Pentecostal, it's not an upside-down cross.

The 3 angels were never an official logo of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

In the late 90s, they decided so many local churches were having their own logos, rather than all these different spin-offs happening, the General Conference Communications Department said, hey, let's just have 1 logo that standardizes everyone, and when they see it, they'll just know that this is an Adventist church.

See bottom here, there is the Bible and the cross.

Everything that we do is based upon the scriptures and on Jesus.

And you see the flame, which represents the Holy Spirit.

The 3 components point to, does anyone know?

And there's a hidden globe in there representing that the 3 angels go to the whole world.

I think this is what really identifies us as Adventists.

But our practice in our finances and our decision making in our leadership structure reflects this.

And this is what gets me excited because I believe a lot of people in North America we're very myopic and we're very like, I live in Columbia and I'm a Columbian Abena.

I'm an Ellicott City Adventist Ellicott City That's all I know Ellicott City what happens is is when you're an Adventist and you embrace the 3 angels messages You are not an Ellicott City Adventist You are a global Adventist just by being sheerly part of the 3 Angels message.

That would make sense a little bit later on.

So you have these 2 entities going on in Revelation.

In Revelation 16 it mentions the 3 frogs And these 3 frogs are reflected in Revelation 13.

Right after that you have Revelation 14, you have the 3 angels.

And what basically Revelation is talking about is, you have 2 global movements in the last days before Jesus comes.

1 is all about being a frog and 1 is all about being part of the angels' movement.

The question is, do you want to be a chapter 13-er or do you want to be part of chapter 14?

I pray that you're all part of chapter 14.

Now some of you are like, yeah, I know this.

The question is, 3 Frogs, the book of Revelation is awesome because I was on a Delta flight once and I saw a safety video that was based on YouTube memes.

Now I was there and I saw it and I thought, dude, this is brilliant.

I was laughing, I thought this was brilliant.

The guy next to me was about 109 years old and he was watching the same exact video.

He does not know what YouTube is and he was saying, I don't understand any of this.

So I'm watching this thing, and this Hawaiian guy comes, and he's opening up the baggage compartment, or whatever that's called, overhead compartment.

I'm like, duh, that was an old YouTube video that used to be popular.

Then a little guy is helping his little brother and then the brother's like bit his fingers.

And while helping this and there's like a cat on a Roomba video and there's like a rainbow cat and whatever and some of these things were all YouTube videos that were popular from year 2000 to 2015.

Now me being cognizant of this previous context when I saw this video putting all those things together it all made sense to me but my friend next to me who has no context when he's watching this, he's like, what is this?

As Seventh-day Adventists, we need to understand the book of Revelation, but in order to understand the book of Revelation, the context is from Genesis to Jude When we only know from Genesis to Jude Revelation makes sense For someone who does not understand any of this and they're coming to Revelation They're like 3 frogs and get this I was jet-lagged 1 time and I was watching a sermon online, a non-adventist sermon on prophecy.

This guy was talking about the frogs of chapter 16, and he said, these 3 frogs are these genetically mutated beings the size of Godzilla.

They're going to be hopping around the earth and going to cause us havoc and I'm like, are you serious?

So there are some people who do not, who don't understand the context, they're going to understand Revelation not differently, they're going to understand it incorrectly because of that ignorance.

So, question is this, let me ask you all this.

Where do you see frogs in the Old Testament?

There's a plague, but there's 10 of those plagues and the frogs were just 1 of them.

Okay, a sickness, because there's sickness and boils going on.

Okay, they worshipped frogs, but they also worshipped the flies and all the other things.

Oh, I thought this was a seminar that you guys would breeze through.

The frogs represent, this was the last plague that the magicians could reproduce.

After this point on, they could no longer reproduce these frogs.

So, these frogs represent the last deception, a copy of the genuine, the last counterfeit of Satan.

So these 3 entities are going to go around the world and they're going to pretend to be like God and become like a gospel movement, but they won't.

Question, where do you see 3 angels in the Old Testament?

Okay, not, that's not, okay, you're mentioning 3 random angels in the Bible.

I'm mentioning, where is there a story about 3 angels?

They're, okay, they're destroying, but before that, they're not destroying Abraham.

That's what the sense of the warning there.

There are gonna be 2 spiritual worldwide movements 1 that deceives and 1 that warns.
