    The Law of God

    [CD-ROM Editor’s Note: This is view of the 10-commandments (lacking the prefatory verse in Exodus 20:2) pictured on a scroll in a graphic.]

    I.

    Thou shalt have no other gods before me.SSP 207.1

    II.

    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.SSP 207.2

    III.

    Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.SSP 207.3

    IV.

    Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.SSP 207.4

    V

    Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.SSP 207.5

    VI.

    Thou shalt not kill.SSP 207.6

    VII.

    Thou shalt not commit adultery.SSP 207.7

    VIII.

    Thou shalt not steal.SSP 207.8

    IX.

    Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. X.SSP 207.9

    Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s. fuller significance of the trampling under foot of the law, and of the thinking to change the times and laws of Jehovah by an earthly power, filled the people of God with reverential awe; and again the two witnesses were exalted to heaven. The sealing work began at this very time, and those who were looking heavenward, saw the light streaming from that open door. Upon those to whom these rays are shining, the sealing angel places the mark of God. This sealed company make up the one hundred and forty-four thousand, who are a part of the host for whom the “four and twenty elders” are now waiting.SSP 207.10

    As the proclamation is made in heaven that the work is over, the commandments are again seen; this time written on the clouds of the sky in the eyes of all men,-a sign of the near approach of Christ.SSP 208.1

    Under the sounding of the seventh trumpet are the thunderings, lightnings, voices, earthquake, and hail, which will shake the very foundations of the earth. With the close of the third woe, the earth is freed forever from the least taint of sorrow and sin. The Lord has pledged His word that affliction shall not rise up the second time, but joy and peace will reign forever in the redeemed earth. MarginLeviticus 26:2.
    I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. Revelation 7:2.
    I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Revelation 7:4.
    The heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Psalm 50:6.
    My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. Psalm 119:172.
    For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
    Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17.
    What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. Nahum 1:9.
    SSP 208.2
