This document discusses the third angel's message from Revelation 14:9-12. It explains that the third message is a warning about worshipping the beast and receiving its mark. It says Jesus gave the prophecies in Revelation and the three angel's messages. The document analyzes what constitutes the mark and image of the beast. It argues that the mark is Sunday worship, which originated with the Catholic Church and was accepted by Protestants. It warns that a future Sunday law will enforce this and lead to persecution before Christ's second coming.
4. Christ Centered Prophecy
• One thing to remember is that Jesus gave the
prophecy
• Jesus is the author of the book of Revelation
• The Everlasting Gospel is the first of the three
angel’s messages
• The faith of Jesus, as our challenge to duplicate,
is the last thing mentioned at the end of the Third
angel’s Message.
• Jesus is the first and the last or the alpha and the
omega in the book of Revelation.
5. The Last Warning Message
• Rev. 14:9-12 “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud
voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his]
mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
•
14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which
is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he
shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy
angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: (Damnation, suffering and
death at the second coming of Jesus and at end of Millennium)
•
14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and
ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and
his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
•
14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
6. The Attainments of the Saints
• 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here
[are] they that keep the commandments of
God, and the faith of Jesus.
• 1. Keep the Commandments, Sabbath
• 2. Duplicating the faith of Jesus
7. Blessed are the Dead
• 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven
saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the
dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from
their labours; and their works do follow
them.
• A special blessing on last day martyrs.
8. The Last Warning Message
• Thus far we have studied the first and second
angel’s messages. The third one is a warning to
everyone in the world, if they do not follow the
admonition that has been given in the first two
messages, the Mark of the Beast will be upon
them and they will be lost eternally. This is a call
to forsake Babylonian Christianity and come out.
• First, the message is given with a loud
voice.
10. If any man worship the beast and
his image
• Rev. 13:14 tells us that it is United States,
Protestantism, that is to make an image to the Beast.
By tracing the Beast power through Daniel 7 and
Revelation 13 we know the Beast power is the Roman
Papal Church.
• How do you make an image to a religious institution?
It must be something that has to do with religion. Thus
we would have to see what the Papal Church has made
popular in the world, that Protestantism has accepted,
and enforces the world to accept, as Revelation 13:15
tells us the entire earth is involved in this image.
11. The Image
• What has the Papal Church made popular within
Christianity that is contrary to scripture or the Law
of God? That is the question….
• Let us take a look at her teachings and see what it
might be. What could be enforced onto the entire
world that would show homage to the Papal
power?
12. Roman Catholic Dogma
The Pope is called “The Holy Father”
“Another god on earth”
• Infant Baptism
• Pray to the dead Saints - especially to Mary
• Transubstantiation (Priest can create his Creator)
• Purgatory
• None of the above would have an effect on the countries of the world.
• There is only one doctrine that originated with the Papacy that is in all
Christianity and effects all the world, and it effects commerce also.
This one is different.
• The Papacy has given to the world “Sunday” as a day of
worship
13. The Image
• The reason the Bible is against Sunday sabbath is because it is
contrary to the Law of God. To keep Sunday is to break the Law, the
4th Commandment, and to break the Law is a sin.
• The Papacy has given to the world Sunday as a day of worship and to
keep Sunday instead of Sabbath is paying homage to the Papacy and
recognizing her power and authority above the power and
authority of God Himself.
• Here is where the image comes in. United States, Protestantism, has
accepted Sunday as a day of worship. When United States makes a
Sunday Law that will CONTROLL WORSHIP as well as
commerce, (see Rev. 18) and the trading she does with every country
in the world, then the image will be enforced.
14. An Image
• An image has to be identical to the original.
• The hours of the Catholic Sunday is from
mid-night to mid-night.
• The Protestant Sunday is the same.
• The true Sabbath is from sunset to sunset.
15. Papal Authority God’s Authority
• The Papacy has given to the world Sunday
as a day of worship and to keep Sunday
instead of Sabbath is paying homage to the
Papacy and recognizing her power and
authority above the power and authority of
God Himself.
16. “Catholic Belief” p.45
Rev. Joseph Faa Di Bruno, D.D. (Catholic)
• “Through these two divine streams (the
Bible and tradition) are in themselves, on
account of their divine origin, of equal
sacredness, and are both full of revealed
truths, still, of the two, tradition is to us
more clear and safe.”
17.
18. God’s Authority
• The Ten Commandments – the fourth
• Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
• Ex. 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy
work:
• 20:10 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:
• 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.

22. Prompta Bibliotheca, Vol.vi, pp. 25-29
• The Pope is so great dignity and so exalted
that he is not a mere man, but as it were
God, and the vicar of God…
• The Pope is crowned with a triple crown,
as king of heaven and of earth and of the
lower regions….
23. Pope Leo XIII (1894)
• “We hold upon this
earth the place of
God Almighty.”
• This statement bypasses
Jesus and the Holy Spirit
1894
24. Papal Authority
•
•
•
•
15 Years Later - The Catholic Church
The Council Laodicea (336)
Changed the Sabbath into Sunday
Their council, to them had more authority
than God’s word spoken from Mt. Sinai, the
Ten Commandments
25. Papal Authority?
• Sunday is well ingrained as the change
from Sabbath, Saturday, to Sunday was
done over 1600 years ago. The majority of
Christians don’t even know of the change.
26. The Image
Webster’s Dictionary: image = exact likeness
The Papacy gave Sunday as a day of worship to the world.
This is the only thing that the world has accepted from the
Papacy. They made the change in the year 336, at the
Council of Laodicea. The world is now familiar with
Sunday as a day of worship for through the centuries it has
been commonly kept without question by Catholics and
Protestants alike. To make an image of this day of
worship would be to make a law enforcing this unbiblical
day of worship,demanding it to be kept or recognized
even if for the benefit of world commerce.
This the Bible predicts will be done by Protestant America.
(Rev. 13:14)
27. The Mark
• The Catholic Church has left their mark on the
world. It is very evident. The Catholic Church
is the Beast power revealed in the books of
Daniel and Revelation. The Beast has a Mark
and it is known as the Mark of the Beast. To
know who the Beast power is, is half of the
answer. To know that she has not given
anything else to the world but Sunday is the
other half of the answer.
28. Do the Roman Catholic members have
any say in their Church leadership?
• The Pope elects the
Cardinals and the Cardinals
elect the Pope.
29.
30. Quote by Father T. Enright,C.S.R.
“American Sentinal” N. Y. June 1, 1893, page173
• “The Bible says, remember that thou keep holy the
Sabbath day. The Catholic Church says, No! By my
divine power I abolish the Sabbath and command you
to keep holy the first day of the week. And lo, the
entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience
to the command of the holy Catholic Church.”
• *****************************************
• What do you think of this statement?
• Does the Pope have divine power?
• How can his divine power contradict God’s divine power?
31. Note How This Statement Is
Practiced
Is Mary really “a
Goddess “
as the Catholic
Church Teaches?
32. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH
• Does the Roman Church have the power to put Mary in
heaven?
• Does the Roman Church have the power to make Mary coredemptive?
• Did the Roman Church have the power to put evolution in
the place of creation?
• Did the Roman Church have the power to change three of
God’s Ten Commandments?
33. Pope Pius XIII
• Encyclical by Pope Pius XIII
“The first three chapters of Genesis, it says, must be
accepted as literally and historically true. The
creation and fall happened exactly as reported
there. There is no myth….”
*******************************
Pope John Paul II did not agree with Pius XII and
accepted Evolution.
34. Assuming Power
To assume such authority as to alter or change the eternal
Law of God is in actuality setting one self up above God,
indicating that God was not wise enough to make a perfect
Law.
This is a blasphemy. God tells us how and when to worship;
we don’t tell Him.
Also when Protestant America makes a Sunday Law she
likewise will be committing TREASON against God the
same as did the Papacy, by making a law against His Law.
NATIONAL APOSTASY will be recorded in the books of
heaven against America at that time.
That will be when God’s mercy and grace will be withdrawn.
Whenever you enforce a religious law, persecution follows on
those who do not agree.
This act just precedes the seven last plagues at the end of the
world
37. The Wrath of God
• The wrath of God is the 7 last plagues and they are
poured out without mixture of mercy.
• When the 7 last plagues come to an end, so does
the world come to an end.
• Those who have the Mark of the Beast or receive
the Image will be tormented day and night.
• This is why everyone is fearful of the Mark of the
Beast.
38. “THE MARK OF THE BEAST”
• Rev. 14:9 And the third angel followed them,
saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the
beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in
his forehead, or in his hand,
• 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the
wrath of God, which is poured out without
mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he
shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels, and in the presence
of the Lamb:
39. What is the Mark of the Beast?
• 14:11 And the smoke of their torment
ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they
have no rest day nor night, who worship the
beast and his image, and whosoever
receiveth the mark of his name.
• 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints:
here [are] they that keep the commandments
of God, and the faith of Jesus.
40. WHAT IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST?
• WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN
WHAT THE MARK IS?
• THE BIBLE IS THE ANSWER…..
41. THE MARK!!!!!
•
•
•
•
•
•
Rev.14:12 Identifying the Saints
The Saints keep the Commandments
Those who don’t - have the Mark!!!!
This is God’s definition of what the Mark is…..
Rev. 14:9 “If any man….
Catholics or Protestants or Heathen
42. The Wrath of God
• The seven last plagues consist of the wrath of God
on those who have the Mark of the Beast or accept
the Image.
• The grievous sore, water into blood, the scorching
heat of the sun, the plague of darkness, the
greatest earthquake the world is ever seen.
• These plagues reduce drastically the population of
the earth perhaps by billions
43. The Nations Were Angry
• Rev. 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy
wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they
should be judged, and that thou shouldest give
reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the
saints, and them that fear thy name, small and
great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy
the earth.
• The nations will be eliminating each other and
in the process will be destroying the earth.
Billions will be wiped off the face of the earth.
44. The Image
• It is the IMAGE that enforces the Mark.
• Note where the Image comes from.
• Rev. 13:11 “And I beheld another beast coming up out of
the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake
as a dragon.
• 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast
before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell
therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was
healed.
• The image comes from another source than does the
Mark.
45. THE IMAGE
Protestant America is predicted to make laws:
•
•
•
•
•
•
1. The IMAGE,
2. CAN’T BUY OR SELL
3. THE DEATH DECREE
The Image enforces the Sunday Law
The IMAGE gives power to or enforces the MARK
Thus Protestantism becomes the final persecuting power!
46. The Actual Fall of the Two
Babylons
• At the same time!
• 1.The Catholic Phase
– Daniel 11:45 “And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the
seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and
none shall help him.
– This will be the second deadly wound to the Papacy
•
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the
great prince which standeth for the children of thy people:
and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was
since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at
that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall
be found written in the book.
Daniel 12:1
47. Daniel 12:1
• This action takes place as
probation comes to a close when
Michael stands up.
48. The Fall of the Second Babylon
• The Protestant Phase
– Revelation 18:8 – 19
• The demise of United States starts when she
makes an image of the Mark or her Sunday
Law.
– The unbiblical Sunday Law causes the final
showdown and persecution will follow on those
who uphold the Law of God.
49. The Two Babylons
• The Catholic and Protestant phases come to
an end at about the same time or as
probation closes.
• Catholicism in the Middle East
• Protestantism in America
50. THE TWO BABYLONS
• The fall of the two Babylon’s are very
similar.
• Both Babylon’s fall because of religion
• Both Babylon’s fall quickly …
suddenlyspeedily
• The fall is permanent no recovery
51. Jeremiah 51:6 - 8
• Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver
every man his soul: be not cut off in her
iniquity; for this [is] the time of the LORD'S
vengeance;.
• Rev. 18:2-4 Babylon is fallen…. Come out of her
my people …. Be not partakers of her sins.
• 51:7 Babylon [hath been] a golden cup in the
LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the
nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the
nations are mad.
• 51:8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed:
52. AFTER THE SUNDAY LAW
• The Sunday Law causes everyone in the world to decide
for or against the Law of God.
• This will be the final decision for all mankind
• After this decision there will be no one else to save.
• This is when probationary time closes on mankind.
• This is when the plagues start to fall on those who have the
Mark or the image and are still in Babylon.
• At the end of the plagues comes the end of the world.
53. The Conclusion of the Plagues
• Rev.16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into
the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of
heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
• 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and
lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was
not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an
earthquake, [and] so great.
• 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts,
and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came
in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of
the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
54. The great city was divided into three parts

The three phases of Christianity are:
1. Catholicism
2. Greek Orthodox Church
3. Protestantism

1. Catholicism
2. Protestantism
3. Spiritualism
56. THE SEVENTH PLAGUE
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
1. It is done!!!
2. Great Earthquake
3. The great city divided in three parts
4. Babylon comes into remembrance
5. Every Island fled away
6. Mountains not found
7. Hailstones
57. Isaiah 30:27,28
• Behold, the name of the LORD cometh
from far, burning [with] his anger, and the
burden [thereof is] heavy: his lips are full of
indignation, and his tongue as a devouring
fire:
• 30:28 And his breath, as an overflowing
stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck,
to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity:
58. The Saints
“The Last Night on Earth”
•
Isa. 30:29,30 “Ye shall have a song, as in the night [when]
a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when
one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the
LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
• 30:30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to
be heard, and shall show the lighting down of his arm, with
the indignation of [his] anger, and [with] the flame of a
devouring fire, [with] scattering, and tempest, and
hailstones.
• Hailstones are the last item on the agenda before Jesus
appears in the clouds.
