Revelation 14:6 - 7

“And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

Matthew 24:31

Before God would judge Jerusalem, the seat of Judaism, He would ensure that as many of them as possible had an opportunity to turn to Him and accept Christ. We observe that the New Testament states that this was accomplished immediately prior to the judgment of Jerusalem in AD 70.

because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

Colossians 1:5 - 6 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul,

became a minister.

Colossians 1:23

If the angels of Revelation 2 and 3 are generally accepted to be the overseers of the seven churches, then it is perfectly consistent to regard the angels which Revelation 14 and Matthew 24 refer to as being human messengers. This seems to be reinforced by the teaching of the New Testament that the Gospel is not preached by angels but by men. This point is made in Acts 10 where although an angel appeared to Cornelius, his message was not the Gospel but a direction to find a Gospel preacher.

After the Gospel is made available to every Jew, judgment comes to Jerusalem, which is referred to as “Babylon”.

And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

Revelation 14:8

Christ also warned all believers who would be in Jerusalem at the time of its invasion by the Romans to flee the city (Matthew 24:15–16). Thus Revelation states that the city would be inhabited by those who had the mark of the beast

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.”

Revelation 14:9 - 10

The Romans literally bombarded Jerusalem with fire and brimstone just as this verse predicted. But beyond the mere natural bombardment of Jerusalem there awaited an eternal fate for all those who refused to accept Christ, thus not only would they endure the torment of the Romans for their rebellion against Rome they would suffer
