The document discusses the third angel's message from Revelation 14:9-12 warning about worshipping the beast and receiving its mark. It analyzes parallels between Daniel and Revelation to identify symbols representing world powers. It argues that the United States represents the second beast from the earth in Revelation 13:11 that gives power to the first beast and will one day enforce Sunday worship. The US is characterized by separation of church and state but there are signs this distinction may erode over time.

wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture
into the cup of his indignation; …and they have no
rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his
image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his
name. Here is the patience of the saints: here [are]
they that keep the commandments of God, and the
