1. In order to break the false sense of security which deludes the conscience of so many people, God sends a second angel, whose message, reported in the book of Revelation chapter 14, is more aggressive: «Babylon is fallen, is fallen!» Now, what does Babylon symbolize?
   All the nations of the earth.
   False prophets.
   The angels of the great dragon.
   The apostate religio-political system reigning in the last days.

2. The message of the second angel of Revelation chapter 14 corresponds with the «loud cry», that is, God’s last warning before the close of probation, inviting every sincere person to come out of Babylon. In which chapter of the book of Revelation can we find the message of this «loud cry»?
   In chapter 10.
   In chapter 13.
   In chapter 18.
   In chapter 21.

3. According to Revelation chapter 18, one of the reasons for the fall of Babylon is that she «is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit.» Indeed, this apostate religious system teaches many false doctrines, one of which leaves the door wide open to all the deceiving wonders of spiritualism, the favorite weapon of Satan. What is this false doctrine?
   Transubstantiation.
   Immortality of the soul.
   Infallibility of the pope.
   Salvation by works.

4. The Papacy, symbolized by the beast rising from the sea, recovered its political power in 1929, and its influence in 1948: thus was healed the beast’s deadly wound. After that, the book of Revelation adds this astonishing prediction: «And all the world...»
   «... made an alliance against the beast.»
   «... payed no attention to the beast.»
   «... began to fear the beast.»
   «... wondered after the beast.»

5. The book of Revelation reports that shortly before the return of Jesus, the influence of the Papacy will lead to the creation of a worldwide apostate religio-political coalition. This spiritual Babylon will rule the whole world, and will make all the nations drink of her wine. Now, according to the Word of God, what does the wine of Babylon symbolize?
   The persecution against God’s people.
   The intoxicating promise of gaining wealth and power.
   All the seductive, but deceitful and false doctrines.
   Wine, literally.

6. In a symbolic language, the sixth vial of Revelation says that the fall of Babylon is closely linked to the drying up of her waters. Since these waters symbolize «peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues», which events will contribute to drying up the waters of spiritual Babylon? (Check off all the right answers.)
   The loud cry, proclaimed by the 144,000 before the close of probation.
   The establishment of a worldwide ecumenical movement.
   Satan’s imitation of the return of Jesus Christ.
   The nations realizing that they have been deceived by Babylon.

7. The Scriptures present many situations in which God warned His people, before carrying out a mass destruction of men. Among these warnings, we find the following ones (check off all the right answers):
   The announce of the Flood.
   The announce of Sodom and Gomorrah’s destruction.
   The announce of wicked men’s destruction, in the days of Moses.
   The announce of Jerusalem’s destruction, in A.D. 70.

8. By carefully studying the passage of Revelation which presents the «King from the east», we understand that this prophetic character represents...
   ... Moses.
   ... Elijah.
   ... Cyrus.
   ... Jesus Christ.

9. When we read the book of Revelation, what do we learn about the length and intensity of God’s judgment against Babylon the great whore?
   This judgment will be a slow process that will last 1000 years.
   This judgment will be progressive, and will last about one century.
   This judgment will be progressive, and will last a few years.
   This judgment will be sudden, and completed in a very short time.

10. The Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians reminds us that we must make sure that we are entirely free from Babylon, as we prepare ourselves to proclaim the message of the second angel. This same epistle then adds, «Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us ourselves from all of the flesh and spirit, perfecting in the fear of God.» It is now up to us to respond to God’s invitation.
