Question

What commandments are in Revelation and what do they mean? Investigate Rev 12:17, Rev 14:12, and Rev 22:14 (TR). Study the Greek grammar of entolas tou theou ("commandments of God"). Examine the dual identification marks of God's end-time people (commandments + faith/testimony). Investigate the three angels' messages connection (Rev 14:6-12) and whether "commandments of God" in the context of end-time judgment points to the moral law.
