Question

Is the three-part pattern of the three angels' messages — (1) gospel call to worship the true God, (2) exposure of a false system, (3) warning of judgment — repeated throughout the Old Testament? Examine: Noah before the flood, Abraham and Sodom, Moses and Egypt, Elijah at Carmel, Josiah's reform, Jeremiah's ministry. Do these share the same structure as Rev 14:6-12?
