To understand exactly what the Mark of the Beast is spoken of in Revelation 13: 16-17, which states: 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:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. This Mark is not a physical thing like a RFID chip or tattoo barcode because Revelation 13 is not speaking of literal beasts, just as Revelation 17 is not speaking of a literal woman. ( The RFID Chip and the barcode will be tools used for identification, and to control buying and selling). So this Mark will have to do with spiritual things like worship and will affect being able to buy or sell. Now think of which day of the week that has traditionally involved worship and not being able to buy or sell by law? Did you get it, if not just keep reading and you will. Sunday blue laws are connected with worship and not being able to buy or sell.
This "Mark" belongs to the first beast of Revelation 13:16-17, which is none other than the Roman Catholic Church. This "Mark" is something that distinguishes the Roman Catholic Church from God's true church. But first I will give a definition of the word "mark:" Because the word mark and sign are interchangeable!
1. a visible impression or trace on something, as a line, cut, dent, stain,or bruise:
a small mark on his arm.
2. a badge, brand, or other visible sign assumed or imposed:
a mark of his noble rank.
3. a symbol used in writing or printing:
a punctuation mark.
4. a sign, usually an X or cross, made instead of a signature.
5. an affixed or impressed device, symbol, inscription, etc.,
6. a sign, token, or indication:
to bow as a mark of respect.
7. a symbol used in rating conduct, proficiency, attainment, etc., as of pupils in a school.
This is very important because God's sign or mark is his seventh-day sabbath which
falls on every Saturday. This is also very important because Exodus 31:13 reads: Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations: that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.
So what is the MARK of the first beast(Roman Catholic Church) of Revelation 13:16-17? You will hear the answer straight from the mouth of the Beast. Below are some quotes made by the Roman Catholic Church or Papacy concerning Sunday worship and with whom it originated:
1.Letter from C.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons on October 28, 1895: Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act…And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters.
2. S.C. Mosna, Storia della Domenica (1969): 366-367: Not the Creator of the Universe in Genesis 2:1-3, but the Catholic Church “can claim the honor of having granted man a pause to his work every seven days.”
3. “The Question Box,” The Catholic Universe Bulletin (August 14, 1942): 4: The (Catholic) Church changed the observance of the Sabbath to Sunday by right of the divine, infallible authority given to her by her Founder, Jesus Christ. The Protestant claiming the Bible to be the only guide of faith, has no warrant for observing Sunday. In this matter, the Seventh-day Adventist is the only consistent Protestant.
There you have it, the God who created the heaven and earth set the 7th day sabbath as His sign or mark. But Satan working through the medium of the Papacy set up Sunday as his mark to steal worship that only belongs only to the God of heaven and the earth for himself. In other words when you worship on Sunday contrary to God's command to keep the 7th- day(Saturday) holy, your worship is in vain and in fact honors Satan. Just as God accepted Abel's worship, because he was obedient and rejected Cain's worship because he was disobedient; Cain offered a bloodless sacrifice which God could not accept. Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin(Heb. 9:22). Please watch all of the next video, it is a personal testimony about the ark of the covenant, amazing!
