Homes, families, jobs and security are suddenly disrupted and controlled
by the enemy. People in such crises realize they may be dead by nightfall.
Who can measure the trauma and anguish involved?
While the final countdown for this earth nears the zero hour, every person
on earth is making decisions that will determine his eternal destiny.
Millions are wondering which way to turn, what choices to make.
Satan is determined to draw the multitudes of earth into his camp. His
philosophies and theories seem to have a bewitching effect upon people.
His movement is unveiled in Revelation 11. It is engulfing millions.

But God has a grand message of hope and deliverance for people in these
desperate hours. Further, He promises that His message will sweep across
the entire world quickly in our day. His magnificent message is found in
Revelation 14.
Christ's and Satan's movements are diametrically opposed. The gospel of
Christ is the basis for the first; atheism and secularism supported by the
evolutionary theory, is the basis of the second.
The theory of evolution has swept into and captured the national school
systems even in Christian countries, in spite of the fact that God
condemns it as "science, falsely so called" and 'philosophy and vain
deceit." I Timothy 6:20; Col. 2;8; 11 Peter 3:3-6.
God's message provides a joyous way out of today's confusion, heartache
and crisis. Satan's plan is to lead us to personal trauma, woe and
destruction.
In today's seminar, we see what Revelation tells us about the two
movements. It is difficult to properly stress the importance of this seminar
subject. We will look at Revelation 11 first.
GOD'S TWO WITNESSES
1. Who are God's two witnesses who suffer shameful treatment?
Revelation 11:3, 4
The two olive ______________ and the two ______________
NOTE: The two olive trees refer to the Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:3-6).
The two candlesticks refer to the Bible, God's Word (Psalm 119:105,
130). So the two witnesses, olive trees and candlesticks, all refer to
the same thing—the Bible, which was given by the Holy Spirit (2
Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21). These two witnesses refer to the Old and
New Testaments of the Bible (John 5:39; Luke 24:27).
2. How long were God's people and the two witnesses persecuted?
Revelation 11:2, 3
______________ months or ______________ days.
2 7
Revelation 14:14
"I looked, and behold a white ______________ , and upon the
cloud one ________ like unto the ______________ of man."
NOTE: Jesus returns in the cloud as soon as His three messages reach
every person on earth. He won't come back until all people have heard
and clearly understand His wonderful plan of salvation.
16. How long will it take for God's messages to reach everyone?
Romans 9:28
"He will finish the ______________, and cut it ______________ in
righteousness."
NOTE: This is a promise! God Himself will Cut short the time
required for the three angels' messages to go to the whole world with
great power. We are the people who will live to see the King return!
Are you ready?
17. Why will many be lost when Jesus returns? Hosea 4:6
"My people are _____________ for _________ of ______________
because ________ hast rejected ______, I will also ______________
thee."
NOTE: Many will be lost because God gave them information or
knowledge and they refused to hear it. People who were lost in Noah's
day "knew not" for the same reason: they wouldn't listen! (Matthew
24:37-39).
JESUS CALLS HIS SHEEP
18. As one of Jesus' sheep, what will I want to do? John 10:27
Jesus says, "My ______________ hear My ______________ ...and
they _________________ Me."
12. The first part of God's message for today is? Revelation 14:7
"Fear ________ and give ____________ to Him; for the __________
of His __________________ is come; and _____________ Him that
made ____________ and ____________“
NOTE: The message is opposed to evolution. It says, "Worship the
Creator because the hour of His judgment is here." We will study the
judgment message in Lessons 14 and 15. (Did you know the judgment
has already begun)? Lesson 10 made it clear that God asks His people
to keep His Sabbath as proof that they accept Him as Creator.
13. What is the second part of God's great message today?
Revelation 14:8; 18:2-4
"Babylon is ______________" "Come ________ of her _______
people, that ye be not __________________ of her ________, and
that ye receive ______________ of her ___________________”
NOTE: The second point of the message is, "Babylon has fallen. Get
out quickly or you will be involved in her sins and will receive of her
plagues."
14. What warning does the third part of God's message give?
Revelation 14:9, 10
"If _______ man worship the ___________ . . . and ______________
his mark...the same shall ______________ of the ______________ of
the ______________ of God."
NOTE: God is saying here that if a person receives the mark of the
beast, he is lost and will receive the plagues.
GOD WILL FINISH HIS WORK
15. What happens when God's great messages reach the world?
6 3
NOTE: Forty-two prophetic months and 1260 prophetic days are the
same (42 times 30 equals 1260). They equal 1260 literal years
because in prophecy a prophetic day equals a literal year (Ezekiel
4:6).
3. When did the 1260 years of persecution occur?
Ans: __________________________________________
History affirms a 1260-year period from 538 A.O. to 1798 A.D., when
the Christian church persecuted Bible-believing Christians.
4. What warnings are pronounced against those who attack God's
Word? Revelation 11:5, 6
“____________________________ devours them."
NOTE: People who hurt or do violence to the Holy Scripture will in
the end be destroyed by fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8; Revelation 22:18,
19).
5. Who finally killed the two witnesses? Revelation 11:1
"The ______________ that ______________ out of the bottomless
______________ .”
NOTE: The beast from the pit is Satan (Revelation 20:1-3). However,
as in Revelation 12:3, 4 the beast also represents an earthly kingdom
through which Satan successfully worked (Revelation 12:3, 4, 7-9).
6. How long would the two witnesses remain dead? Revelation 11:9
______________ days, which represents ______________ years.
NOTE: Satan despises the Bible because it exposes his evil plans and
uplifts Jesus. He tries to keep us from studying the Bible at any cost,
so let's promise God to spend some time in Bible study each day.
7. What nation did Satan use to "kill" the Bible? Revelation 11:8 "A little leaveneth the ______________ lump."
Ans: __________________________________________ NOTE: A little evil can become big very quickly. The reign of
