So now that you know that the first Beast of Revelation 13:1-10 is none other than the Roman Catholic Church, which is a political/religious(church/state system) that persecuted or killed millions of the saints of God during the dark ages and whose bloody reign of terror ended in 1798. To understand the order of events in the awful bloody reign of the first beast of Revelation 13:1-10 read this bit of historical data.
The Roman Church would reign for 1260 years before being "wounded unto death." Revelation 13:5, "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months."
Fact: "Vigilius...ascended the papal chair (538 A.D.) under the military protection of Belisarius." History of the Christian Church, Vol. 3, p. 327
Historical records reveal the papacy began its reign in 538 AD upon Emperor Justinian's decree, and under the military protection of Belisarius. And the Bible says the beast will rule for EXACTLY 1260 years before receiving a mortal wound. Now it's just a matter of simple mathematics. It is also a grand method by which to see the Lord glorified. If the prophecy is correct, 1260 years after 538 AD the Beast must receive a mortal wound. If you add 1260 years to the beginning year for the Roman Catholic church, 538 AD, you will arrive in the year 1798 AD. So, according to the Bible we are told the first reign of the Beast will last till the year 1798 . So, did it end in 1798, and how? First understand, according to the prophecy, we learn that, "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword..." Revelation 13:10.
Fact, The prophecy is telling us that the beast would be destroyed with the sword (sword = military) at the end of its reign of exactly 1260 years. Did this happen to Papal Rome in 1798...? YES IT DID! On February 10th Napoleon Bonaparte in that EXACT year 1798 A.D. sent his General Louis Alexander Berthier, with his army into Rome, Italy. It is recorded... "In 1798 General Berthier made his entrance into Rome, abolished the papal government, and established a secular one." -Encyclopedia Britannica 1941 edition

So if the reign of the first beast of Revelation 13:1-10 ended in 1798 and after that John recorded in Revelation 13:11-18 that he saw a second beast coming up right after the fall of the first beast, right around the year 1798. Now what Nation rose into existence right around the year 1798, that's right
you guessed it, it was the United States of America.
The United States or 2nd beast of Revelation 13 has a separation of Church and State power, unlike the Papacy or 1st beast of Revelation 13. The United States guaranteed freedom of religion for its citizens to worship as they please. But wait a minute, according to Revelation 13:11-18 this 2nd beast would begin exhibiting lamblike characteristics, but later would speak as a dragon or Satan. This 2nd beast would also make an image to the 1st beast of Revelation 13:1-10 and would cause all to worship the 1st beast and to receive a mark. Any one who refuses this mark he causes to be killed.
Yes I am plainly stating here that very soon the United States will join church with state, thus making an image to the 1st beast or Papacy, which joined church and state and killed millions of innocent christians during the dark ages. The 2nd beast or the United States of America will demand that every man, woman, and child worship according to the dictates of the State. This forced worship will be legislated from our Nation's capital. The rebellion with Satan in heaven was about true and false worship. Cain and Abel were at odds about true and false worship. The Israelites refused to give true worship(obedience) to God and the were rejected as his chosen people. It started in heaven with Lucifer not wanting to give true worship or obedience to God and it will end with mankind in rebellion against God, setting up their own false, apostate system in the worship of Satan himself.
But many people say that the Dark Ages happened a long time ago and doesn't reflect on the present day or modern Roman Catholic Church. Well, my friend check out the picture below and study it closely, then click on it to see the modern dogmas of the catholic church. Study the entire website and you will see that the catholic church still holds the same dark age dogmas that caused millions to perish for wanting freedom of religion. The only difference between the dark age period and modern day period is that back in 1798, the Papacy lost it's civil authority(power of the state) to put to death anyone who refused to follow the dictates of the Pope. The video below will plainly reveal the United States of America in bible prophecy.
(The following words were written over 100 years ago and some has been fulfilled, while some is yet to come. For that part that is yet to come, not a human soul will be able to escape the " Strong Delusions" or seductive miracles that Satan will bring upon this world, except those that keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Pay close attention and please do your own research).
The people of the United States have been a favored people; but when they restrict religious liberty, surrender Protestantism, and give countenance to popery, the measure of their guilt will be full, and “national apostasy” will be registered in the books of heaven. The result of this apostasy will be national ruin. 90The Review and Herald, May 2, 1893. Mar 216.2
By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. 91Testimonies for the Church 5:451. Mar 216.3
Through spiritualism, Satan appears as a benefactor of the race, healing the diseases of the people, and professing to present a new and more exalted system of religious faith; but at the same time he works as a destroyer.... Mar 216.4
While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation.... Mar 216.5
And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils. 92The Great Controversy, 589, 590. Mar 216.6
As men depart further and further from God, Satan is permitted to have power over the children of disobedience. He hurls destruction among men. There is calamity by land and sea. Property and life are destroyed by fire and flood. Satan resolves to charge this upon those who refuse to bow to the idol which he has set up. His agents point to Seventh-day Adventists as the cause of the trouble. “These people stand out in defiance of law,” they say. “They desecrate Sunday. Were they compelled to obey the law for Sunday observance, there would be a cessation of these terrible judgments.” 93The Review and Herald, July 16, 1901. Mar 216.7

This was the fate of millions of bible believing christians who dared to own or read a bible for themselves. They were burned alive along with their bibles. Paganism moved into the early christian church and took control, silencing all who clung to keeping the bible and not the traditions of the apostate church. True christians had to flee to the caves and mountains or worship in secret for fear of persecution or death. The only reason the Papacy doesn't persecute today is because in 1798 her civil or state power to execute so called heretics was taken away. The papacy is the 1st persecuting beast power of Revelation 13:1-10. The United States is the 2nd beast of Revelation 13:11-18 and will make an image to the 1st beast Papal Rome. Just as Papal Rome united church and state, then persecuted the saints of God, so will the United States make an image to Papal Rome by combining church and state, then persecuting the remnant people which keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Click on the picture above to examine some of the dogmas of the Catholic Church. Also I have included several videos about how the United States will very soon unite church(Catholicism) and state(United States) and deny religious freedom to it's citizens, just as the Roman Catholic Church did during the Dark Ages. At the beginning of this website you choose to take the red pill and now I will slowly bring you out of the Matrix(babylon or this world's false systems of worship) and show you the real world according to how the bible instruct us to worship. Look at these videos and let's continue down the rabbit hole and remember I only offer you the truth!
There's a storm of persecution coming in the near furture over which day , Saturday or Sunday, is the correct day for worshipping God. Religious Law's will be passed to force every man, woman, and child in the United States and the whole world to worship according to the dictates of the State, SUN-DAY WORSHIP will be strictly enforced. The controversy started with Satan in heaven over the issue of worship and will end over the question of whether to worship according to the dictates(traditions or sunday worship) of the state or worship according to the bible only. But know this, that very soon you will have to make a choice for one or the other, no middle ground. Make the wise choice to serve Jesus Christ as he laid out in his holy word that is fast fulfilling. That's it for now, see you on the next page!
