Also in Exodus: “Thou shalt have none other gods beside me.”³⁷⁰⁹

³⁷⁰⁹ Ex. xx. 3.

³⁷¹⁰ Deut. xxxii. 39.
In the Apocalypse, moreover: “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting Gospel to preach over the earth, and over all nations, and tribes, and tongues, and peoples, saying with a loud voice, Fear God rather, and give glory to Him: for the hour of His judgment is come; and worship Him that made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all that therein is.”³⁷¹¹
