Do it not; no creature is to be worshipped.

And of thy brethren; that is, and the fellow-servant of thy brethren.

Worship God; and him only shalt thou serve. Matthew 4:10.

The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy; the grand scope and end of the spirit of prophecy is to bear witness concerning Jesus. With this spirit John was endowed as well as the angel. They were in this respect alike; one therefore was not to worship the other, for they were fellow-servants-each by prophecy making known the testimony of Christ. As no creature in heaven or on earth is to be worshipped, as men are commanded to worship God only, and as both men and angels do worship Christ, and that in obedience to divine command, it is certain that he is God. John 1:1; Hebrews 1:6; Revelation 5:13.
