What is God's final warning against false worship?
Answer
If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 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." Rev. 14: 9, 10.
NOTE - During probationary time God's wrath is always tempered, or mingled, with mercy. Thus
the prophet Habakkuk prays, "In wrath remember mercy." Hab-3: 2. God's wrath unmixed with mercy is
visited only when mercy has done its final work, and evil has gone to the limit, so that there is "no
remedy." See Gen. 6:3; 15:16; 19:12, 13; 2 Chron. 36:16; Matt. 23:37,38; Luke 19:42-44; 2 Peter 2:6; Jude
