This angel is seen flying in the midst of heaven, “saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.... Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”{4BC 1152.5}

Denne ses flyvende under himlens midte, "han råbte med høj røst: »Hvis nogen tilbeder dyret og dets billede og tager dets mærke på sin pande eller på sin hånd, så skal han drikke af Guds harmes vin, som er skænket ublandet i hans vredes bæger; og han skal pines med ild og svovl for de hellige engles og for Lammets øjne. . . . . Her gælder det om udholdenhed for de hellige, der holder fast ved Guds bud og troen på Jesus.
