Chapter 4—The Third Angel’s Message ^{*See also chapter 5, “The Angel of Revelation 18,” which describes the “loud cry” power and glory that is to accompany the final proclamation of the three angels’ messages at the end of time.}

Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. —Revelation 14:9-12, NKJV3AM 75.1
