Según Apocalipsis 1:1, «apocalipsis» significa «revelación». Dios «codificó» la revelación del futuro del mundo en el apocalipsis para que las personas puedan entenderlo solo a través de una relación con Dios y el estudio de su palabra (Lucas 8:10).

El Sello de Dios en el Apocalipsis es el día santo, el sábado. La Marca de la Bestia, por otro lado, es el número 666, que representa el orgullo humano de ponerse en el lugar de Dios.

- Pergamum (Revelation 2:12-17): located where 'Satan's seat' is; needs to repent of allowing false teachers (2:16)
- Thyatira (Revelation 2:18-29): known for its charity, whose "latter works are greater than the former"; tolerates the teachings of a false prophetess (2:20)
- Sardis (Revelation 3:1-6): admonished for - in contrast to its good reputation - being dead; cautioned to fortify itself and return to God through repentance (3:2-3)
- Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7-13): known as steadfast in faith, keeping God's word and enduring patiently (3:10)

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.” And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon[f] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. 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 ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
It is important to proclaim the three angelic messages because they bring with them the individual responsibility of each one in the last crisis, calling the people to come out of error.
