The Closing Gospel Message. A Warning Against False Worship
[Illustration.]
The Third Angel. "If any man worship the beast and his image, ... the same
shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God." Rev. 14:9, 10.
1. What indicates that the messages of the judgment-hour and the fall of
Babylon are two parts of a threefold message?
“And _the third angel followed them_, saying with a loud voice.” Rev.
14:9, first clause.
2. What apostasy from the worship of God is named in this message?
“If any man _worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark_ in his
forehead, or in his hand.” Same verse, last part.
3. What is to be the fate of those who, instead of worshiping God, engage
in this false worship?
“_The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured
out without mixture into the cup of His indignation_; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and
in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up
forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the
beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” Verses
10, 11. See Isa. 33:13-17; 34:1-10; 1 Cor. 3:13; Heb. 12:29.
4. How are those described who heed this warning?
“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Verse 12.
5. What description is given of the beast against whose worship this
closing warning message is given?
“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the
sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and
upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like
unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as
the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and
great authority.” Rev. 13:1, 2.
