Beast Mark and the Sabbath

A Beast

On the previous page we found that the Roman Catholic Church (the Antichrist system) boasted about changing the Sabbath Day of God from the seventh day to the first. Could this be the mark of the beast? Well the Papal church did say it was her "mark" of authority to change God's Law.

"Of course the change (from Sabbath to Sunday) was her act ..... and the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters." (signed by H.F.Thomas, Chancellor for Cardinal Gibbons, in a letter dated Nov. 11, 1895)

"Sunday is our MARK of authority ... the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact." (Catholic record of London, Ontario, Sept. 1, 1923)

Sabbath and the Mark Linked

If you study the little horn power in Daniel 7, you will find an antichrist system who thinks it has power to change God's Laws. This little horn antichrist power is none other than the Papal Church of Rome (Roman Catholic Church). Now if we look at a verse in Revelation 14, we will see a connection with the Sabbath Commandment.

Revelation 14:6-7 ...'And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, 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 the fountains of waters.'

The three angels of Revelation 14 represent God's people (messengers) on earth proclaiming His truth during these end times. Notice the words that this messenger uses above - 'worship him that made heaven, earth, the seas and waters'. Now look at the Sabbath Commandment.

Exodus 20:11 ...'For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.'

Do you see the connection there? There is a group of people (God's true church) on earth, who are represented by these angels in Revelation 14, and they are giving a warning to the world to worship the God who created the heavens, the earth and the seas, and to keep the Sabbath Commandment.

This issue of the mark of the beast is all to do with worship. Who will we choose to worship and obey? Will we choose to worship and obey God, and keep His Commandments, including the Sabbath commandment? Or will we choose to worship satan by obeying the Roman Catholic Church and keep her sunday sabbath instead?

REMEMBER!! It is only those who keep God's Commandments and the faith of Jesus that do not receive the mark of the beast, as confirmed in Revelation 14:12

Revelation 13:16 ...'And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.' ... So the mark is in the forehead or hand. Now apply this to the Sabbath Commandment ... Exodus 20:8 .....'Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

Where do we remember? In our FOREHEADS (our minds).

Exodus 20:9-10 .....'Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.'

With what do we work? Our HANDS!

Are you seeing this important truth? Those who choose to obey the Roman Catholic Church and keep their sunday sabbath instead of "remembering" and keeping God's seventh day Sabbath will receive the mark of the beast (Roman Catholic Church) in their foreheads. Those who do remember God's true sabbath, but under pressure bow to the Papal church because of not being able to "buy or sell" (Rev 13), will receive their mark in the hand.

See 666 number of the beast for more information about this mysterious number.

Does this mean that those who keep sunday as Sabbath have the mark now? I don't believe so, because God is calling His people out of these sunday keeping churches ... Revelation 18:4 ...'And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.' ... And if God has people still in the Roman Catholic Church and other sunday keeping protestant churches, then they do not have the beast's mark yet. But when the Sunday Law is enforced throughout the world, then we will have a big decision to make. Do we reject that law, no matter how bad it gets and keep God's Law and receive His seal, or do we accept the Sunday Law of the Papal church under pressure and receive the beast's mark? Friend, very soon we will all have a choice to make, and some are already making that choice, because this Sunday law has already been passed in Croatia. No matter how much pressure you are put under, eternity is waiting for you if you just trust in God and keep His Commandments, including the Sabbath commandment, and keep the faith of Jesus Christ.
