- In the issue of the contest alll Christendom will be divided into two great classes
those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and those who worship
the beast and his image and receive his mark. Although church and state will unite
their power to compel "all, both small and great rich and poor, free and bond" (Revelation
13: 16), to receive "the mark of the beast" yet the people, of God will not receive
it.
The prophet of Patmos beholds "them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and
over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the
sea of glass, having the harps of God" and singing the song of Moses and the Lamb.
(Revelation 15:2,3)

- The worshipers of the fourth commandment, since this is the sign of God's creative power and the witness to his
claim upon man's reverence and homage. The wicked will be distinguished by their
efforts to tear down the creator's memorial and to exalt the institution of Rome.
