Mark of the Beast
The above linked article by the Catholic News Agency is a clear sign to those watching end time signs that we are very near enforcement of the mark of the beast.
To those who do not study end time prophecy and are therefore unaware, the Mark of the Beast involves worship (as has been the case with all of God’s people throughout history), which is the final test at the end of the great controversy to determine which side people have chosen to be on — Christ’s or Satan’s — there are only two sides and there is no middle ground. If Christ’s, then He will be their Lord and Savior, His Spirit will be in them, they will be following Him and will be found keeping the law of God (the Ten Commandments) at His return. “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12). If they are Satan’s, they will be denying Christ as Lord and keeping the counterfeit laws of Satan created by the first beast (the Roman Catholic Church/Vatican State) and enforced by the second beast (the United States), thereby rebelling against the law of God. (Revelation 14:9-11). There will be many people who see themselves as Christians who will be caught in an eternally destructive position if they do not wake up and get themselves on the right track before it is too late. Come out of the apostate churches, come out of worldliness and focus on Jesus and His word, if he is in fact your Lord. If you are not intentionally focusing on Jesus, by default you are focusing on the wrong lord. The prince of this world is not who you want to be following because you will follow him to your destruction. There is nothing in this world that is worth that end.
In Daniel 7:25 we are told: “And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws:…” The he of course is the little horn power of Daniel 7:7-8, for centuries plainly identified as the Roman Catholic Church/Papal Vatican power — the first beast of Revelation 13, 17 and 18. The law and times he thinks to change (he can only think to do it, as no man can actually change God’s immutable law), is God’s Ten Commandments, spoken by Him and written by Him in stone.
God first created the day in Genesis 2:3, when He rested (sabbath means “day of rest”), and blessed and sanctified it. His day of rest could not be changed, unless God destroyed everything, recreated everything and rested on, blessed and sanctified a different day.
We are told in Isaiah 58:13-14 “ If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day (God’s Day, His holy day, the day of the Lord, the Lord’s day); and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.” Believe me, as a most of my Church life Sunday keeper, now a Sabbath keeper, I can assuredly confirm, if you turn from the false day of worship (Sunday, the pagan venerable day of the sun god) and keep God’s holy day, as He has commanded us to keep it, you will find yourself blessed in ways that you have never been blessed before in your Christian life. More importantly, you will avoid the mark of the beast, which if you receive it, will lead to your eternal destruction. Revelation 14:9-10.
As identified in Exodus 20:8-11, the Sabbath, the Lord’s Day, God’s holy day of rest, is the seventh day, Saturday (no matter how the dragon/Satan through the beast system may induce nations to change their calendars so that Sunday becomes the seventh day of the week, as it has already accomplished through most of Europe (Portugal, France, Spain, Germany, UK, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, Austria, Belgium, Denmark and also Greece and Mexico), God’s holy day of rest, His Sabbath that He told us to remember, is Saturday. “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 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: 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.”
Then we have Mark 2:27-28 where Jesus said unto them “The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.” Jesus is the Lord of the sabbath because He created it, as He created all things (John 1:1-3), and as He kept it during His life and ministry on earth, so expects us to keep it also (John 14:15).
The beloved apostle John was given the Revelation of Jesus Christ on the Sabbath Day while in exile on the Isle of Patmos. “ I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.” Revelation 1:10-11.
This is a list, not exhaustive, of the languages that use the word sabbath or a derivative thereof for the day of the week we call Saturday, the seventh day of the week, the Sabbath of the LORD our God. Although some calendars may have been changed, and he will attempt to change them all, the beast has much work ahead of him to do away with all reference to the true Sabbath day of rest created by God Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, the sea and all that in them is. Unfortunately, a lie repeated often enough becomes truth, even when truth is staring people in the face. The bigger the lie, the more readily people accept it, especially if it is spoken by someone who has placed himself in position to be President of the planet, as reported, presumably tongue in cheek, by Huffington Post in 2015 concerning Pope Francis. They probably had no idea how accurate a portrayal of him they publicized.
