Introduction
Memory Text: “After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory” (Revelation 18:1, NKJV).
Final events
will unfold. Exactly when, exactly how¾we have not been told but enough has been told.
Revelation gives a lot of messages concerning these final events, we need to
know about these messages. The role of the Seventh-day Adventist is to preach
this message to the world, the message of the “everlasting gospel” of
Revelation 14:6, which is centered on Christ’s death for us, and our assurance
of our salvation in Him.
What admonition does Paul give us regarding the last days of human history?
‘The apostle Paul urged the believers at Thessaloniki to
“watch” and “be sober” in the context of the second coming of Christ. He also
declared that they were “children of light” (1 Thess. 5:5, NIV) and they were
not in darkness, so that this day [the return of Christ]” (1Thess. 5:4, NIV)
should overtake them “as a thief” (1 Thess. 5:4, NKJV)’
What does it mean to watch?
To watch is to be spiritually alert.
What does it mean to be sober minded?
To be sober minded is to be serious about the times that we
are living in and focused on the things that really matter.
What gives us divine insight into what is coming upon this world?
‘The prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, combined with the
modern gift of prophecy, give us divine insight into what is coming upon this
world.’
What does Daniel 2 provide for us for trusting in God?
‘Daniel 2 provides powerful, rational evidence that we can
trust God.’ What God says will happen, will indeed happen, as the sequences of
the kingdoms that came and went, as exactly predicted.
What’s God’s final appeal to His people?
God’s final appeal to His people is to flee the errors of
Babylon and walk in the light of eternal truth found in His Word.
What is the key to walking in the light of eternal truth and fleeing the
errors of Babylon?
The Bible
What is the message of the second angel?
The message is to accept truth rather than error, Scripture

presents a warning against the mark of the beast.
What are the schemes that seek to unfold in the end-time conflicts?

of economic upheaval, natural catastrophes, social turmoil, international political
crisis, and global conflict. The United States will eventually take the lead in
this global confederation.
What is the conclusion of the urgent appeal for Christ’s faithful
followers?
to keep the commandments of God through the living faith of
Jesus dwelling in our hearts (Rev. 14:12).

The angel comes down from heaven, having great authority,
and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
What is the angel in Revelation 18:1 commissioned to do?
‘The angel who comes down from the glorious presence of God
in the throne room of the sanctuary is commissioned to proclaim God’s last message
of mercy and to warn the inhabitants of the earth of what is coming upon planet
Earth.’
What do the great prophecies of the Bible’s last book reveal?
The great prophecies of the Bible’s last book reveal a

climax of human history and the final, ultimate triumph of the gospel.
What is the great controversy between good and evil in the universe also
about?
The great controversy is also about God’s honor and
reputation. Though Satan has declared that God is unjust, that He demands
worship and gives little in return. God, The One who created us plunged into
the snake pit of this world to redeem us.
What do the end-time people reveal?
His glory¾His
loving, self-sacrificing character to a self-centered, godless world, and the
earth is illuminated by the character of God.
How will the earth be filled with the glory of God?
The earth will be filled with the glory of God when we are
filled with the love of God and our characters are changed by redeeming love.
What is the last message to be proclaimed to a world engulfed in spiritual
darkness?
“ ‘Fear God and give glory to Him’ ” (Rev. 14:7, NKJV).

“It is the work of God in laying the glory of man in the
dust, and doing for man that which it is not in his power to do for himself.”¾Testimonies to Ministers
and Gospel Workers, p. 456.
Who or what is the heart and soul, not only of all the Bible but also of
the book of Revelation and of the three angels’ messages?
The Lamb “slain” (Rev. 5:6, 12; Rev. 13:8).
Who does the Lamb “slain” (Revelation 5:6, 12; Rev. 13:8) represent?
The Lamb “slain” represent Jesus Christ crucified.
Why must we place the Lamb that was slain at the very center of our doctrines,
mission and everything we do?
We should place the Lamb slain at the center of everything
we do so that the love revealed by the Lamb on the cross transform the way we
treat each other and move us to also care for the world.
