1. The word «Church» comes from the Greek word «ekklesia», which means «». Now, according to the Acts of the Apostles, there is indeed a Church which belongs to God: «The added to the church daily such as should be .»

2. Many passages in the Bible confirm that the one and only leader of God’s Church, the head of the body, is:
   the apostle Peter.
   the Pope.
   the Virgin Mary.
   Jesus Christ.

3. In Bible prophecy, a Church is symbolized by a woman. The description of this woman reflects the spiritual condition of the Church she symbolizes. In the book of Revelation, we find such a symbolic description: «Come here; I will show to you the judgment of the great (...), having a golden cup in her hand full of and filthiness of her .» This impure woman thus symbolizes a Church which has turned away from God, and which disobeys Him.

4. The book of Revelation also reports that this impure woman is «sitting on a scarlet colored beast». What does that mean?
   The Church is experiencing a lightning growth.
   The Church has made a political alliance with the State.
   The Church has launched out into farming.
   The Church always follows its instinct in decision-making.

5. Still in the book of Revelation, we find another woman, which is described as follows, «And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the , and the under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve .» This pure woman symbolizes a Church which remains faithful to God, and which obeys Him.

6. The book of Revelation reports that Satan persecuted the pure woman for 1260 years, and then «went to make war with the remnant of her seed». According to this same passage, what are the characteristics of the people who belong to the remnant of the woman’s seed? (Check off all the right answers.)
   «They perform signs and miracles.»
   «They keep the commandments of God.»
   «They keep the tradition of men.»
   «They have the testimony of Jesus Christ.»

7. In the book of the prophet Isaiah, God announces what His Church, the remnant Church, will do in the last days: «They that shall be of you shall build the old waste places: you shall raise up the foundations of many .» The rest of the passage immediately identifies the foundations which shall be raised up by God’s people: «If you turn away your foot from the , from doing your pleasure on My holy , (...) I will cause you to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.»

8. Revelation chapter 14 presents the triple message which the remnant Church must proclaim throughout the world. This triple message contains all the following elements, except one. Which one?
   The coming of God’s judgment.
   The fall of Babylon.
   The call to unite all the Churches.
   The warning against worshipping the beast.

9. In every denomination, there are sincere believers who, when they discover the truth clearly revealed in the Word of God, will join God’s remnant Church. This is what Jesus tells us in the Gospel according to John, «Other sheep I have, which are not of this : them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one and one .»

10. Finally, the book of Revelation presents God’s solemn call to each one of us, « the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit! (...) out of her, My , that you be not partakers of her , and that you receive not of her plagues.» It is up to us whether we answer God’s call or not.
