"The worshipers of God will be especially distinguished by their regard for 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.

In the issue of the conflict all 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," to receive the mark of the beast, yet the people of God will not receive it. Revelation 13:16."
