Chapter 6 Worshipping the Beast "If any man worship the beast and his image and receive his mark ... 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 ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor right, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." (Rev. 14:9-11) This is another part of the message of the Third Angel, which we studied last week. It brings to view a terrible fate for those who receive the mark of the beast, and full warning is given that none may blindly follow the path that has such an ending. The second coming of the Lord is unto salvation. (Heb. 9:28) It is the "blessed hope of believers." It brings the resurrection from the dead, and the reward of the righteous. But to the disobedient, the presence of the Lamb and of the holy angels brings destroying fire. 54
"Our God is a consuming fire." When Daniel beheld Him on His throne, "a fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him." (Dan. 7:10) The beast of Daniel’s vision was destroyed in this burning flame. (Verse 11.) So we read in the Revelation that, at the coming of Christ in His glory, the beast and the false prophet, that wrought deceiving miracles before him, were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (Rev. 19:20) There is a fire prepared for the devil and his angels. (Matt. 25:41) "For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; He hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it." (Isa. 30:33) It was this stream of brimstone that kindled the cities of the plain when God rained fire and brimstone from heaven upon them, and again, when Christ comes, He will "be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel." (2 Thess. 1:7, 8) 55
