COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE!
If you have read and studied the entire contents of this book you should have an understanding of God’s true Biblical seventh-day Sabbath, the beast, its image, the lamb-like beast, and the mark of the beast crisis. Let’s go back to the third message of Revelation chapter 14 to complete this study.
Second part of the third angel’s message:
10 “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:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever 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.”
In summary, those who receive the mark of the beast are those who submit to the enforcement of the Sunday “sabbath” law. They will: 1) Receive the wrath of God; 2) Be tormented with fire and brimstone; and 3) Have NO REST. This is serious business. Why? All those who receive the mark of the beast, who were at one time drinking the wine of Babylon, will in the end drink the wine of the wrath of God that will be mixed with no mercy.
Revelation 15:1 - “And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.”
The seven last plagues as described in Revelation chapter 16 is the “wrath of God.” Those who receive the mark of the beast will drink this cup that will be poured out on all who have rebelled against God’s call to repentance and truth in the last days. It will be poured without the mixture of grace and mercy. It will be FULL STRENGTH! In Revelation chapter 16, the “cup of his indignation” filled with the wrath of God will be poured into seven vials or cups that will be poured out unto the earth one by one - the seven last plagues. Revelation 16:1 says, “And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials [cups] of the wrath of God upon the earth.”
Fire and brimstone is a description of “hell” when God will execute His judgment on the wicked, those who choose to hold on to sin and reject God’s plan of salvation and mercy. Hell is not burning in a pit deep under the earth with the Devil in charge of it. That is fiction. When God rains hell fire and brimstone from heaven the wicked will not burn throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity. The Bible does not teach that the wicked will receive eternal life in hell. Only those faithful to Jesus will receive eternal life in the Heavenly kingdom. The wicked will perish. “The smoke of the torment” of the wicked will eventually dissipate and be gone forever. The book of Malachi teaches that hell fire will not burn forever, but it will burn all the wicked until their punishment is complete. Malachi 4:1, 3 says, 1“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 3And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.” To add to that 2 Peter 3:10 says, “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” God
