In view of the judgment, what exhortation is given?
Answer
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this
is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether
it be good, or whether it be evil!' Eccl. 12: 13, 14.
NOTE - A comparison of Rev. 14: 7 with Eccl. 12: 13,14 suggests that the way to give glory to
God is to keep His commandments, and that in giving the judgment hour message, the duty of keeping the
commandments would be emphasized. This is plainly shown in the description given of the people who are
gathered out of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people as the result of the preaching of this message, in
connection with the other messages which immediately follow and accompany it. Of this people it is said,
"Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." Rev. 14:12.
