The angel's interpretation in this chapter does not leave the apostasy
triumphant:
"The judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to
consume and to destroy it unto the end."
Then the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of the Most
High, "and all dominions shall serve and obey Him."
"O, how shall we stand that moment of searching,
When all our sins those books reveal?
When from that court, each case decided,
Shall be granted no appeal?"

men." Matt. 15:9.]

THE BIBLE SABBATH
"He answered and said, Every plant, which My heavenly Father hath not
planted, shall be rooted up." Matt. 15:13.
The scribes had come to Jesus with the complaint, "Why do Thy disciples
transgress the tradition of the elders?" Jesus answered them with
another question, "Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by
your tradition?"
They had thought that Christ was introducing novelties, preaching new
things, contrary to established church custom and practice.
