<p>14:7 <em>He said with a great voice: Fear God and give Him glory For the hour of His judgment comes, and worship Him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters</em>- Conversion is a call to worship our creator, not merely assent to a set of theology. In the latter day context, the call is to worship <em>God</em> rather than the beast, who demands total worship (13:12,15). This is a last minute appeal: &quot;For the hour of His judgment is come&quot;. Like many Old Testament prophets, is this a last minute appeal for repentance in order to avert Israel and the world's final judgment? Perhaps it will succeed, explaining why some potential judgments like the seven thunders do not come (see on 10:4). &quot;When your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness&quot; (Is. 26:9); for &quot;the Lord is known by the judgment which he executes&quot; (Ps. 9:16). Israel's condemnation was to be &quot;an instruction&quot; unto the surrounding nations (Ez. 5:14,15). And Israel herself will know that &quot;I am the LORD&quot; in their final condemnation, as Ezekiel so often prophesied. This clearly associates God's judgment with a learning process. &quot;When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise&quot; (Prov. 21:11). Thus the nations are intended to learn from the experience of Israel&rsquo;s condemnation (Hos. 2:10). The repentance of Egypt will be because &quot;the Lord shall smite Egypt... and they shall return to the Lord&quot; (Is. 19:18-22).</p><p>Heaven, earth, sea and waters have all featured in the descriptions of the judgments which have so far fallen upon the earth / land promised to Abraham. The world is bidden accept that the God who brought such turmoil upon them was also their creator.</p>
