What is the burden of the threefold message of Rev. 14: 6-10?
Answer
"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. . . . Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city,
because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. . . . 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." Rev. 14: 6-10.
NOTE - Like the messages of Elijah and John, this is a call to repentance and reform-a call to
forsake false, idolatrous worship, and to turn to God, and worship Him, and Him alone. The first part of
this threefold message points out the true God, the Creator, in language very similar to that found in the
fourth, or Sabbath, commandment. This is the message now due the world, and that is now being
proclaimed to the world. See Vol. II, pages 55-66. Those who are proclaiming these messages constitute
the Elijah for this time, as John and his co-laborers did at the time of Christ's first advent.
