Sabbath as a Sign
The Roman church caused people to receive the MARK of pagan ROME — the Sunday observed by the pagan Roman Empire — and the penalty for disobedience was DEATH! Fifty million or more were put to death — so says history.
The Sabbath commandment is the ONLY commandment the world will not accept in its MIND (forehead) and OBEY (by work, or rest, with the HAND). It is the ONLY commandment that can distinguish between those who have the MARK of the BEAST, or the SIGN OF GOD.
Now the book of Revelation is written mostly in symbols. The right hand symbolizes work or labor — the forehead, the intellect or mind. It has to do with what we BELIEVE, in the mind, and whether we OBEY, with the hand.
How ABOUT GOD’S SIGN? It also was received in the forehead, and the hand!
Regarding one of God’s annual Sabbaths, we read: ” … it shall be for a SIGN unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes [forehead], that the Lord’s LAW may be in thy mouth” (Ex. 13:9).
Deuteronomy 6:1, 6-8: “Now these are the COMMANDMENTS … and these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart … and thou shalt bind them for a SIGN upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.”
Deuteronomy 11:18: “Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a SIGN upon your hand, that they may be as front lets between your eyes.”
Also see Proverbs 7:2-3 and Revelation 7:3-4; 14:1.
There is absolute proof! Yes, the truth is very plain!
The Sabbath is God’s SIGN, standing, more than any commandment, for OBEDIENCE. It was symbolically in the HAND and in the FOREHEAD, just as the MARK of the Beast — the pagan SUNDAY- -was in the right HAND and in the FOREHEAD!
SUNDAY observance — Christmas, New Year’s, Easter, etc. this is the MARK of the BEAST!
The church did cause all under the “Holy Roman Empire” to receive this mark, during the Middle Ages. Not only were active church members caused to observe Sunday instead of the SABBATH, but it became a universal custom so that all the Western world — regardless of religious connection or belief, accepted Sunday instead of SATURDAY as the weekly day of rest. It has become universal in the Western world except for Judaism, Islam, a few sects in Christianity, and the comparative few whom God has called out of this world and into His true Church.
Has she stopped?
Just at present she has not the POWER to enforce this mark on everyone. But there will be a United States of Europe union of ten nations. It will be a UNION OF CHURCH AND STATE — and the church once again will sit astride “The BEAST.”
Now notice Daniel 7:21-22: “I beheld, and the same horn [papacy] made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; until the Ancient of days came [Second Coming of Christ] and judgment was given to the saints of the most High.”
Yes, the MARK OF THE BEAST once again will be enforced! No one will be able to hold a job or engage in business without it. Those refusing will once again be tortured and martyred — probably by the secret police of the political state — but at the behest of the church!
Today, ALL NATIONS are deceived by this paganism masquerading under the name “Christianity.”
Today, America, Canada, Britain — Israelitish nations. descended from the ancient so-called lost ten tribes of Israel — are actually in the ways of this “BABYLON.”
God’s last warning is this: “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)!
IF you are branded by this MARK rejecting the SIGN of God in your forehead and hand, you shall be tortured by God’s plagues without mercy! Yes, You!
But if you OBEY God — if you are watching, praying without ceasing — you shall be accounted worthy to ESCAPE — and come under GOD’S PROTECTION (Luke 21:36).
