The Book of Revelation seems to many people as mysterious and scary, but, you know something, it's really a love letter from Jesus Christ. It could be understood if we let the Bible interpret itself.

In Revelation 14:6-12, we find the warning not to receive the mark of the beast. What does this mean? Read on because this document contains a letter to a friend explaining what this warning means and what we must do to prepare for the soon return of Jesus Christ.

While exiled in the island of Patmos on the Aegean Sea, John the Revelator, perhaps feeling lonely and abandoned, saw in vision what would transpire on this earth before the return of his beloved Jesus Christ. He saw Heaven, New Jerusalem, the heavenly Sanctuary, the ark of the covenant which contained the original moral law of ten commandments, and Jesus, the High Priest, officiating in behalf of His people. He saw the judgment scene and the seven last plagues falling upon those who rejected salvation and received the mark of the Beast.

A loving God sends His warning messages to earth's inhabitants symbolized by three angels flying in the midst of heaven. This warning is found in Revelation 14:6-12:

"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 water.

"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.

"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."
