Does GOD Care About the Human-race?
Most humans ask the question; does GOD care about humanity? Obviously the answer is yes, GOD does care about the human-race. First, we know this because God sends a special Angel who is a brother to John to show us HE cares.
The time is imminent for all people to focus their hearts on getting to know GOD. Simply put, the Angel gives John some very important advice. in order that mankind focus on preparing themselves for the return of Yeshua. The focus of mankind should be on the following revelations of the Angel.
1. The Angel is a brother to the prophets
2. The Angel is a brother to those who do the Commandments of God.
3. Time is winding down for human-race.
4. The Angel tells us to worship GOD.
The Angel is a brother to the Prophets.
The Prophets; Moses, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi; these are the major prophets. Moreover, you will also find minor prophets in the books of 1 and 2 Kings and Chronicles. When you read any one of these books about the prophets, the significant thing about them is that GOD spoke directly to them. With every prophet, GOD spoke directly to him, and gave him oral instructions on what to say and what to do in order to carry out GOD’s purpose. Additionally, we see that as GOD has HIS Prophets, Similarly, Yeshua, our Messiah, also has His own Prophets.
The Angel is a brother to those who do the Commandments of GOD.
Webster’s dictionary denotes the word “Keep” to be a verb, meaning an Action word. It requires you to perform some action towards the subject. The subject, in this case, is the Book of Revelation. The action to be performed on this book, is that we keep the words of the book. In this case the word “keep” is defined as follows: To be faithful to. Especially by appropriate conduct. To Fulfill, to Observe.
In short, we are to be doing something in our lives that will manifest our faithfulness in observing the words of this book. By performing whatever is required of our behavior or our actions towards the words of the book. By doing so, the Angel will be recognized as fellow servants to us, and we to him, it is a reciprocated relationship. In other words, we are ALL in this performance task together as we work at being diligent in performing the words of this book.
Time is winding down for the human-race.
In Other words, the events of this book are happening now. More then 2000 years have passed since Yeshua’s crucifixion. The human-race is running out of time to get their souls right with GOD..
Consequently, we are living at the starting point of the 7th Angel pouring out his bowl on the earth. For instance, when we read of the plagues being poured out from the Angels in heaven we see that many of them have already happened, and are continuing to happen. And we are currently living through, and experiencing the events of the result of the 6th Angel having already poured out his bowl on the earth.
The Angel says to worship GOD.
Angel tells us to worship GOD, he did not tell us to worship Yeshua (aka Jesus). From a Christian perspective, I was taught that Yeshua and GOD are one in the same. And to worship Yeshua, is the same as worshiping GOD. However, as I’ve read through all of the Gospels of our Canonize Bible, as well as all the writing of the Apostles, there is absolutely no place within these books where we are told to worship Yeshua. In fact, Yeshua, himself, tells us that we are only to worship GOD.

In summary, the Angel is in essence telling us that it is vitally important that we know who we are worshipping. As a result of this, the Book of Revelation provides us with an important glue. This glue helps guide us with identifying whether or not we are truly worshiping GOD or someone impersonating.
