NOTE.—The cup of the Lord, which contains the new covenant in the blood of Christ, and the cup of the wine of the wrath of Babylon are both offered to the world. To drink of the former, that is, to accept the teaching of the true gospel, is to receive everlasting life; but to drink of the wine of Babylon, that is, to accept the false gospel taught by the Papacy, will result in drinking of the wine of the wrath of God from the cup of His indignation. The true gospel means everlasting life; the false gospel means everlasting death. 11. Under what threatened penalty is the worship of the image of the beast enforced? “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and _cause [decree] that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed_.” Rev. 13:15. NOTE.—For an explanation of the image of the beast, see reading on “Making an Image to the Beast,” page 271. 12. What universal boycott is to be employed, in an attempt to compel all to receive the mark of the beast? “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and _that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name_.” Verses 16, 17. NOTE.—Regarding the mark of the beast, see reading on “The Seal of God and the Mark of Apostasy,” page 416. 13. Who is the real power operating through the beast and his image, and demanding worship? “The _dragon_ gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” Verse 2, last part. 14. Who is this dragon? “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the _Devil_, and _Satan_, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Rev. 12:9. 15. How did the devil seek to induce Jesus to worship him? “And the devil, taking Him up into an high mountain, showed unto Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto Him, _All this power will I give Thee_, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. _If Thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be Thine._” Luke 4:5-7. 16. How did Jesus show His loyalty to God? “And Jesus answered and said unto him, _Get thee behind Me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve_.” Verse 8.
