About this image

A lone monk raises his hammer and nails a parchment of ninety-five theses to the great oak door of the Wittenberg Castle Church, golden light bleeding through the seams of the door while the medieval street falls into cold shadow. It is the moment the Reformation began, when one man's conviction that the just shall live by faith reopened the Scriptures to the people, and the gospel of the first angel began to shine again after centuries of darkness. Powerful sda prophecy art for Reformation Sabbath sermons, church history lessons, and Great Controversy series, available as a high-resolution digital download for teaching slides and church media.

Bible background: The Three Angels' Messages

In Revelation 14, John sees three angels flying in the midst of heaven, each carrying a message for every nation, kindred, tongue and people just before Christ returns to reap the harvest of the earth. Seventh-day Adventists understand these messages as God's final call to the world.

The first angel carries the everlasting gospel and calls everyone to fear God, give Him glory and worship the Creator, because the hour of His judgment has come. The second announces that Babylon is fallen. The third warns against worshipping the beast and his image or receiving his mark, and describes God's people as those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
