“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” We are plainly shown that two parties will exist at the appearing of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. In which party do we wish to be found? “Behold, I come quickly,” Christ says, “and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” This is the destination of commandment keepers. Should we not all wish to be among that number who have right to the tree of life, and who enter through the gates into the city? {TM 133.2}

»Og dragen vrededes på kvinden og gik bort for at føre krig mod de andre af hendes slægt, dem, der holder Guds bud og bevarer Jesu vidnesbyrd.« Vi er tydeligt vist at to partier vil eksistere ved Herrens og vor Frelser Jesus Kristi´ tilsynekomst. I hvilket selskab ønsker vi blive fundet? »Se, jeg kommer snart,« sagde Kristus, »og jeg har min løn med mig for at gengælde enhver, efter som hans gerning er. Jeg er Alfa og Omega, den første og den sidste, begyndelsen og enden. Salige er de, som tvætter deres klæder, for at de kan få adgang til livets træ og gennem portene gå ind i staden.« Dette er ankomststedet for lovlydige. Skulle vi ikke alle ønske at blive blandt dem der har ret til livets træ, og som går gennem portene ind i staden?
