5. What was the result of the mission labours of these untrained men and women? Acts 17:5-6.
NOTE: ‘To scatter His representatives abroad, where they could work for others, God permitted persecution to come upon them. Driven from Jerusalem, the believers “went everywhere preaching the word.”’ Acts of the Apostles, page 105.
6. Which last-day message will again turn the world upside down? Revelation 14:6-12; Revelation 18:1-2.
COMPILER’S NOTE: The messages of all three angels eventually combine to present to the world one final appeal of the everlasting Gospel. In the writings of Ellen White, she refers to this combined message as ‘the third angel’s message’. It is the teaching of Revelation 14:12 which is the summary of the Gospel, with its appeal, and the final test through the issue of true worship.
NOTE: ‘The proclamation of the third angel’s message [Revelation 14:6-12], along with the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus [Revelation 12:17] is the burden of our work. The message is to be proclaimed with a loud cry, and is to go to the whole world.’ Colporteur Ministry, page 138.
COMPILER’S NOTE: The ‘loud cry’ refers to the power accompanying the message of the Angel of Revelation 18:1-4, and his emphasis on the issues of fallen Babylon and the very strong and final appeal to all who will listen, to come out of Babylon, not to partake of her sins, thus avoiding bringing the plagues upon one’s self.
