WHO IS THE ANGEL OF REVELATION 14: 6?

MESSENGERS HERALD NEWS LUKE 7: 24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? JAMES 2: 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out another way?

ACTS 6: 15 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel. MATTHEW 24: 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

JOHN 4: 23, 24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

FAILURE TO COME OUT OF BABYLON. . . ? JOHN 8: 42, 43 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 2 THESSALONIANS 2: 10 -12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
