  4. Early Church corrupted What is an image to the beast? “The result was the papacy, a church that controlled the power of the state, and employed it to further her own ends, especially for the punishment of "heresy."” Lost Spirit and power “When the early church became corrupted by departing from the simplicity of the gospel and accepting heathen rites and customs, she lost the Spirit and power of God; and in order to control the consciences of the people, she sought the support of the secular power. . . Sought support of secular power Great Controversy 443, 444 Result: Papacy

  5. What is an image to the beast? Religious power controls US government “In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends. . . Image of the beast formed

  6. What is an image to the beast? Protestant Churches ““The "image to the beast" represents that form of apostate Protestantism which will be developed when the Protestant churches shall seek the aid of the civil power for the enforcement of their dogmas.” Seek aid of civil power to enforce dogmas Image of the beast formed Apostate Protestantism Great Controversy 443, 444 =

  7. When Will the Image of the Beast Be Formed? Before probation closes “The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes, for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided.” Image of the beast formed 2Selected Messages, p. 81

  8. Bush Declares Obedience to the Pope “The best way to honor Pope John Paul II, truly one of the great men, is to take his teachings seriously, listen to his words and put his words and teachings into action in America.” Catholic News Service, March 24, 2001

  9. When Will the Image of the Beast Be Formed? “Satan will excite indignation against the humble minority who conscientiously refuse to accept popular customs and traditions. Men of position and reputation will join with the lawless and the vile to take counsel against the people of God. . . “. . .Wealth, genius, education, will combine to cover them with contempt. Persecuting rulers, ministers, and church members will conspire against them. With voice and pen, by boasts, threats, and ridicule, they will seek to overthrow their faith. . .

  10. “. . . By false representations and angry appeals, they will stir up the passions of the people. Not having a "Thus saith the Scriptures" to bring against the advocates of the Bible Sabbath, they will resort to oppressive enactments to supply the lack.. . . .”

  11. US Enact Sunday Law “When our nation shall so abjure the principles of its government as to enact a Sunday law, Protestantism will in this act join hands with popery; it will be nothing else than giving life to the tyranny which has long been eagerly watching its opportunity to spring again into active despotism.” “To secure popularity and patronage, legislators will yield to the demand for a Sunday law. . . On this battlefield comes the last great conflict of the controversy between truth and error.” Let us pass a Sunday Law Will Join Hands with Popery Give life to active despotism Testimonies vol. 5, pp. 450, 451 Testimonies vol. 5, p. 712

  12. “When Sunday observance shall be enforced by law, and the world shall be enlightened concerning the obligation of the true Sabbath, then whoever shall transgress the command of God to obey a precept which has no higher authority than that of Rome, will thereby honor popery above God. . . “He is paying homage to Rome, and to the power which enforces the institution ordained by Rome. He is worshiping the beast and his image.” Sunday observance enforced by law From this day on we will enforce the Sunday Law! Person enlightened on the Sabbath but instead disobeys Great Controversy p. 449 He is worshiping the beast and his image

  13. Mark of the beast already here? When Sunday observance is enforced by law “Sundaykeeping is not yet the mark of the beast, and will not be until the decree goes forth causing men to worship this idol sabbath. The time will come when this day will be the test, but that time has not come yet.” Sunday keeping becomes the mark of the beast SDA Bible Commentary vol. 7, p. 977 (1899).

  14. Sunday observance enforced by law “As men then reject the institution which God has declared to be the sign of His authority, and honor in its stead that which Rome has chosen as the token of her supremacy, they will thereby accept the sign of allegiance to Rome--"the mark of the beast.“ . . . “And it is not until the issue is thus plainly set before the people, and they are brought to choose between the commandments of God and the commandments of men, that those who continue in transgression will receive "the mark of the beast."” Person enlightened on the Sabbath but instead disobeys The Great Controversy, p. 605 He receives the mark of the beast SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 7, p. 977

  15. “But when the decree shall go forth enforcing the counterfeit sabbath, and the loud cry of the third angel shall warn men against the worship of the beast and his image, the line will be clearly drawn between the false and the true. Then those who still continue in transgression will receive the mark of the beast.” When Sunday observance is enforced by law From this day on we will enforce the Sunday Law! Loud cry warns men against worship of the beast Line of distinction drawn between false and true Evangelism pp. 234, 235 Those who continue to disobey God receive the mark of the beast
