NOTE.—The threefold message of Rev. 14:6-12 is proclaimed in connection with the closing scenes of the great controversy between Christ and Satan. Lucifer has sought to put himself in the place of God (Isa. 14:12-14), and to secure to himself the worship which is due God alone. The final test comes over the commandments of God. Those who acknowledge the supremacy of the beast by yielding obedience to the law of God as changed and enforced by the Papacy, when the real issue has been clearly defined, will, in so doing, worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark. Such will take the side of Satan in his rebellion against the authority of God. 17. How many will yield to the demand to worship the beast? “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Rev. 13:8. 18. In the judgment-hour message, whom are all called upon to fear, glorify, and worship? “Saying with a loud voice, _Fear God, and give glory to Him_; for the hour of His judgment is come: and _worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters_.” Rev. 14:7. 19. Who will sing the song of Moses and the Lamb on the sea of glass? “And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and _them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name_, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are Thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of saints. Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? for Thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before Thee; for Thy judgments are made manifest.” Rev. 15:2-4. Satan’s Warfare Against The Church [Illustration.] The Death Of Christ. "He [Satan] persecuted the woman [the church] that brought forth the man child." Rev. 12:13. 1. Under what figure was the Christian church represented to the apostle John? “And there appeared a great wonder [margin, sign] in heaven; _a woman_ clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.” Rev. 12:1. NOTES.—Frequently in the Scriptures a woman is used to represent the church. See Jer. 6:2; 2 Cor. 11:2. The sun represents the light of the gospel with which the church was clothed at the first advent (1 John 2:8); the moon under her feet, the waning light of the former dispensation; and the twelve stars, the twelve apostles.
