Mark of the Beast

Says the great deceiver: “We must watch those who are calling the attention of the people to the Sabbath of Jehovah; they will lead many to see the claims of the law of God; and the same light which reveals the true Sabbath, reveals also the ministration of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary, and shows that the last work for man’s salvation is now going forward. Hold the minds of the people in darkness till that work is ended (until probation/ salvation closes), and we shall secure the world and the church also. “The Sabbath is the great question which is to decide the destiny of souls. We must exalt the Sabbath of our creating (false Sunday worship). We have caused it to be accepted by both worldlings and church-members; now the church must be led to unite with the world in its support. We must work by signs and wonders to blind their eyes to the truth, and lead them to lay aside reason and the fear of God, and follow custom and tradition.”
{4SP 337.3}
(emphasis added)

“History will be repeated. False religion will be exalted. The first day of the week, a common working day, possessing no sanctity whatever, will be set up as was the image at Babylon. All nations and tongues and peoples will be commanded to worship this spurious sabbath. This is Satan’s plan to make of no account the day instituted by God, and given to the world as a memorial of creation.”
ST May 6, 1897, par. 14

Apostate Protestans have united with the Beast’s false Sunday “Sabbath” as predicted in Revelation Chapter 13.

The Mark of the Beast
Who is the Antichrist

A Warning to the American People

“You knew, or ought to know, that Sabbathkeepers keep separate from all these bodies and parties. All these secret societies are the work of Satan. They tend not to godliness.”
 {Lt4-1867.2}

The message was against Freemasonery, and the influence this society has upon all who belong to it. The low religious standard of those who are connected with secret societies was presented in clear lines. {EA 23.2}

Those who have a connection with secret societies, who take secret vows, are binding themselves up with the tares, although they may think that they are the pure grain. This class do not discern their danger; they do not feel the necessity of separation from the world in order that they may stand in the light as the children of God. {Lt28-1888.39}

“The world is a theater. The actors, its inhabitants, are preparing to act their part in the last great drama. God is lost sight of. With the great masses of mankind there is no unity, except as men confederate to accomplish their selfish purposes. God is looking on. His purposes in regard to his rebellious subjects will be fulfilled. The world has not been given into the hands of men, though God is permitting the elements of confusion and disorder to bear sway for a season. A power from beneath is working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama,—Satan coming as Christ, and working with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in those who are binding themselves together in secret societies. Those who are yielding to the passion for confederation are working out the plans of the enemy. The cause will be followed by the effect. {RH September 10, 1903, par. 4}

How does the Bible depict one avenue by which folks will be deceived into accepting the Mark (Sunday worship in place of Sabbath worship) of the Beast (papacy)?

BY HER SORCERIES (DRUGS!) WERE ALL NATIONS DECEIVED!

Drugs introduced into the body disrupts a person’s ability to think with mental clarity, causing a lack of wise discernment, which opens the door to be easily deceived. Does a drunk driver have clear discernment? Drugs are connected to witchcraft and are a curse.

Do you believe the Bible?

“… for by thy sorceries (pharmakeia/ pharmacy) were all nations deceived.” Rev 18:23

“A similar work will be accomplished when that other angel, represented in [Rev 18:1], gives his message. The first, second, and third angels’ messages will be repeated. The call will be given to the church, “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” [Rev 18: 4.]
“Babylon, the great, is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. … Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: for her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.” [Rev 18: 2-5.] 
Take each verse of this chapter, and read it carefully, especially the last two: “And the light of the candle shall shine no more in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy SORCERIES  were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.” [Rev 18: 23, 24.]  {Ms92a-1898.11-13}
“Among the converts in Samaria was one Simon, who, by the power of Satan through sorcerers, had gained great fame among the people. “To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with SORCERIES.” But when he saw a greater power manifested by the apostles in healing the sick and in converting souls to the truth, he thought that by uniting with the believers in Christ he might do wonders equal to those accomplished by the apostles. He hoped thus to add greatly to his fame and wealth, for he made merchandise of his sorceries and Satanic arts, pretending to impart their secrets to others. “
{3SP 302.1}

And who is behind it? What are the characteristics of the beast?


But what is the “image to the beast”? and how is it to be formed? The image is made by the two-horned beast, and is an image to the first beast. It is also called an image of the beast. Then to learn what the image is like, and how it is to be formed, we must study the characteristics of the beast itself, —the papacy.  
{GC88 443.2}

Some of the known side-effects of drugs create an inability to discern with full mental clarity; this would include vaccines of which C—d has been shown to contain ingredients/ adjuvents that can be connected to the “electronic” world and thus, affect the mind.

Danger of Church and State Uniting.
Protestants (image to beast) will lead out in the great apostasy of which will also include the professed leaders among God’s remnant chruch.

We are in danger of becoming a sister to fallen Babylon, of allowing our churches to become corrupted, and filled with every foul spirit, a cage for every unclean and hateful bird;
{21MR380.1} Written September 6, 1886, from Basel, Switzerland, to G. I. Butler

 “The fearful results of a union of Church and State, the inroads of Spiritualism, the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal power,—all will be unmasked. By these solemn warnings the people will be stirred. Thousands upon thousands have never listened to words like these. In amazement they hear the testimony that Babylon is the church, fallen because of her errors and sins, because of her rejection of the truth sent to her from Heaven.”
 {4SP 424.1}

as churches rejected light from heaven
(1st AM), they fell from the favor of God –churches opposing first message placed themselves where they could not see the light of the second angel’s message.
58GC 140

Babylon symbolizes the fallen churches, and her fall denotes apostasy from God.”

How will Rev 13:17 (economic boycott- restrictions upon those who will not accept the MARK of the beast: false Sunday Sabbath) possibly be implemented?

And he (USA via civil power) had power to give life unto the image (apostate Protestants) of the beast (papacy), that the image of the beast (apostate Protestants) should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed (death decre). And he (apostate Protestant churches uniting with civil power) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive (after Sunday law enforced and accepted) a mark in their right hand (for actual service for the “beast”, the mark wiull be requited. see Rev 5:2, 16:2, 19:20; 20:4 ), or in their foreheads (a sign of acceptance of the beasts’ false Sunday): And that no man might buy or sell (economic boycott), save he that had the MARK, (acceptance of Sunday law) or the name (his character/ mindset) of the beast, or the number of his name (Trinity: Vicarius Fili Dei- 666, on pope’s mitre/ tiara) Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.
Rev 13:15-17 (emphasis added)

“To receive this mark means to come to the same decision as the beast has done, and to advocate the same ideas, in direct opposition to the word of God.”- 
Ellen G. White 7BC 979.12

“But since the Sabbath was appointed by the Creator, that man might recognize him as Creator, and since it is purely a matter of worship and of recognition of the true God, it follows as a matter of course that the rest must be upon the particular day which God has designated as the Sabbath. Otherwise God is in reality ignored. Worship implies submission. Submission is indicated by obedience. When a man refuses to obey another, it is because he considers himself equal to, or superior to that other, and of course there would be no thought in his mind of worshiping such an one. So if men really worship God, they will submit to his will in all respects. If they willfully disobey him, they show that their worship is only a form, and that they think more of themselves than they do of him.” {March 24, 1887 EJW, SITI 182.5}

Rome Admits to Changing the Day of Worship…

Catholic Church Speaks:
“Practically everything Protestants regard as essential or important they have received from the Catholic Church… The Protestant mind does not seem to realize that in accepting the Bible and observing the Sunday, in keeping Christmas and Easter, they are accepting the authority of the spokesman for the church, the Pope.”
(Our Sunday Visitor Feb 5, 1950)

Which Day Will You Choose?

What Is the Seal of God

Just as soon as the people of God are sealed in their foreheads—it is not any seal or mark that can be seen, but a settling into the truth, both intellectually and spiritually, so they cannot be moved—just as soon as God’s people are sealed and prepared for the shaking, it will come. Indeed, it has begun already.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 4:1161 (1902). {LDE 219.4}Just as soon as the people of God are sealed in their foreheads—it is not any seal or mark that can be seen, but a settling into the truth, both intellectually and spiritually, so they cannot be moved—just as soon as God’s people are sealed and prepared for the shaking, it will come. Indeed, it has begun already.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 4:1161 (1902). {LDE 219.4}
The seal of the living God is placed upon those who conscientiously keep the Sabbath of the Lord.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:980 (1897). [This statement and others like it should be understood in the light of passages quoted earlier in the chapter, indicating that God holds people responsible only for the knowledge they have or which they could obtain.] {LDE 220.1}
Those who would have the seal of God in their foreheads must keep the Sabbath of the fourth commandment.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:970 (1899). {LDE 220.2}

True observance of the Sabbath is the sign of loyalty to God.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:981 (1899). {LDE 220.3}

The fourth commandment alone of all the ten contains the seal of the great Lawgiver, the Creator of the heavens and the earth.—Testimonies for the Church 6:350 (1900). {LDE 220.4}

The observance of the Lord’s memorial, the Sabbath instituted in Eden, the seventh-day Sabbath, is the test of our loyalty to God.—Letter 94, 1900. {LDE 220.5}

A mark is placed upon every one of God’s people, just as verily as a mark was placed over the doors of the Hebrew dwellings to preserve the people from the general ruin. God declares, “I gave them My sabbaths, to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them” [Ezekiel 20:12].—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:969 (1900). {LDE 220.6}

What Is the Mark of the Beast

John was called to behold a people distinct from those who worship the beast or his image by keeping the first day of the week. The observance of this day is the mark of the beast.—Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 133 (1898). {LDE 223.4}
The mark of the beast is the papal sabbath.—Evangelism, 234 (1899). {LDE 224.1}
When the test comes, it will be clearly shown what the mark of the beast is. It is the keeping of Sunday.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:980 (1900). {LDE 224.2}
The sign, or seal, of God is revealed in the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath, the Lord’s memorial of creation…. The mark of the beast is the opposite of this—the observance of the first day of the week.—Testimonies for the Church 8:117 (1904). {LDE 224.3}
“He causeth all, both small and great, … to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads” (Revelation 13:16). Not only are men not to work with their hands on Sunday, but with their minds are they to acknowledge Sunday as the Sabbath.—Special Testimony to Battle Creek Church (Ph 86), 6, 7 (1897). {LDE 224.4}

When the Mark of the Beast Is Received

No one has yet received the mark of the beast.—Evangelism, 234 (1899). {LDE 224.5}
Sundaykeeping is not yet the mark of the beast, and will not be until the decree goes forth causing men to worship this idol sabbath. The time will come when this day will be the test, but that time has not come yet. The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:977 (1899). {LDE 224.6}
God has given men the Sabbath as a sign between Him and them as a test of their loyalty. Those who, after the light regarding God’s law comes to them, continue to disobey and exalt human laws above the law of God in the great crisis before us, will receive the mark of the beast.—Evangelism, 235 (1900). {LDE 225.1}
The Sabbath will be the great test of loyalty, for it is the point of truth especially controverted. When the final test shall be brought to bear upon men, then the line of distinction will be drawn between those who serve God and those who serve Him not. {LDE 225.2}
While the observance of the false sabbath in compliance with the law of the state, contrary to the fourth commandment, will be an avowal of allegiance to a power that is in opposition to God, the keeping of the true Sabbath, in obedience to God’s law, is an evidence of loyalty to the Creator. While one class, by accepting the sign of submission to earthly powers, receive the mark of the beast, the other, choosing the token of allegiance to divine authority, receive the seal of God.—The Great Controversy, 605 (1911). {LDE 225.3}

Enforcement of Sunday Observance Is the Test

None are condemned until they have had the light and have seen the obligation of the fourth commandment. But when the decree shall go forth enforcing the counterfeit sabbath, and the loud cry of the third angel shall warn men against the worship of the beast and his image, the line will be clearly drawn between the false and the true. Then those who still continue in transgression will receive the mark of the beast.—Evangelism, 234, 235 (1899). {LDE 225.4}
When Sunday observance shall be enforced by law, and the world shall be enlightened concerning the obligation of the true Sabbath, then whoever shall transgress the command of God to obey a precept which has no higher authority than that of Rome, will thereby honor popery above God. He is paying homage to Rome, and to the power which enforces the institution ordained by Rome. He is worshiping the beast and his image. {LDE 226.1}
As men then reject the institution which God has declared to be the sign of His authority, and honor in its stead that which Rome has chosen as the token of her supremacy, they will thereby accept the sign of allegiance to Rome—“the mark of the beast.” And it is not until the issue is thus plainly set before the people, and they are brought to choose between the commandments of God and the commandments of men, that those who continue in transgression will receive “the mark of the beast.”—The Great Controversy, 449 (1911). {LDE 226.2}
