7. What is the final message that Jesus asks His followers to give to the world? Revelation 14:6-7.
NOTE: ‘John in the Revelation foretells the proclamation of the gospel message just before Christ’s second coming. He beholds an angel flying “in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come.” Revelation 14:6, 7. In the prophecy this warning of the judgement, with its connected messages, is followed by the coming of the Son of man in the clouds of heaven. The proclamation of the judgement is an announcement of Christ’s second coming as at hand. And this proclamation is called the everlasting gospel. Thus the preaching of Christ’s second coming, the announcement of its nearness, is shown to be an essential part of the gospel message.’ Christ’s Object Lessons, page 227.
8. What does it mean to give glory to God? Matthew 5:16. Compare 1 Peter 2:12; John 15:8.
NOTE: ‘We have suffered loss to our own souls, and have failed to reveal to others, by our words and in our character, what Christ is and will be to everyone who comes to Him believing. He is “made unto us wisdom and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.” To give glory to God is to reveal His character in our own, and thus make Him known. And in whatever way we make known the Father or the Son, we glorify God.’ Signs of the Times, October 17, 1892.
