The Standard of Judgment, October 17


The Standard of Judgment, October 17 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. - James 2:12. HB 318.1 Every individual's work passes in review before God and is registered for faithfulness or unfaithfulness. Opposite each name in the books of heaven is entered with terrible exactness every wrong word, every selfish act, every unfulfilled duty, and every secret sin, with every artful dissembling. Heaven - sent warnings or reproofs neglected, wasted moments, unimproved opportunities, the influence exerted for good or for evil, with its far - reaching results, all are chronicled by the recording angel. HB 318.2 The law of God is the standard by which the characters and the lives of all will be tested in the judgment. Says the wise man: "Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment." (Ecclesiastes 12:13, 14.) The apostle James admonishes his fellow Christians: "So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty." (James 2:12.) HB 318.3 Those who in the judgment are "accounted worthy" will have a part in the resurrection of the just. Jesus said: "They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, . . . are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection." (Luke 20:35, 36.) And again He declares that "they that have done good" shall come forth "unto the resurrection of life." (John 5:29.) The righteous dead will not be raised until after the judgment at which they are accounted worthy of "the resurrection of life." Hence they will not be present in person at the tribunal when their records are examined and their cases decided. HB 318.4 Jesus will appear as their advocate, to plead in their behalf before God. "If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." (1 John 2:1.) "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us." "Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them." (Hebrews 9:24; 7:25.) - The Great Controversy, 482. HB 318.5

The question may then be, what is the beast? Answer Daniel 7:17,23

“These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.”

“Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.”


What is the Mark? It is the sign of his authority.

This kingdom states they changed the original Bible Sabbath to Sunday, and this is the sign or mark of their Authority. No more need to speculate as to what is the Mark of the Beast.
Jesus says Malachi 3:6, I am the Lord,I change not; & Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday,& today,& forever."

What is his Image? Answer Revelation 13:12 “And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. Revelation 13:14,15,

“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”


The Image is a copy of the original. A Nation doing the same thing, or the work of the original. When the Sunday Sabbath is enforced by copycat nation, then the Image to the Beast will have been formed, and civil penalties will result for dissenters.


The sign of allegiance which is shown by our thinking, in our foreheads, and the work, belief, shown by our worship.
