As we have learned about the 1st beast fulfilling the characteristics of Rome, we will connect historical facts with Biblical truths regarding the 2nd beast, which history shows that when the Vatican whore was robbed of her persecuting powers against God’s commandment-keeping Christians during the dark ages, it was then where history records the following, “French troops commanded by Napoleon Bonaparte defeated the papal troops and occupied the Papal States in 1796. In 1798, upon his refusal to renounce his temporal power, Pius was taken prisoner and transported to France.” It was that historical event which fulfills the prophetic statement of Revelation 13:10, “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.” Furthermore, it ends the 1260 murdering rampage of Rome against God’s commandment-keeping people as stated in the Bible (Daniel 7:25; 12:7; Revelation 11:2-3; 12:6, 14; 13:5).
The office of Popery (the 1st beast) has spent ages trying to destroy the work of God, even at the start of the birth of Jesus (Matt. 2:16). It is clear by the historical fruits of the Roman Empire that Satan gave them their wicked power as the Bible proclaims in the following verse…
Revelation 13:2 – …and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
However, when this power was put to rest for a season because of Napoleon fulfilling Bible prophecy in 1798, there was another country that was forming in another part of the world, which would later give help and life to the image of the first beast. This beast (nation) would have some of the same characteristics at the end of her rule.
Revelation 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.
It is here where John saw in the book of Revelation a new beast coming up to power that would echo the dragon’s voice, and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work as the first beast just as Satan likes it. This nation would be patterned after Rome. It would wage war against the true commandment-keeping church of God in the last days and it would try and destroy the law of God. This beast is represented as having lamblike horns. The preceding 1st beast had risen from the sea (populated region of the world – Rev. 17:15); but this 2nd beast comes up out of the earth (desolate).
The “two horns like a lamb” well represent the character of the American Government, as expressed in its two fundamental principles, which are Republicanism and Protestantism. These principles are the powers and prosperity of the nation. This prophecy of Revelation 13 clearly declares that the power represented by the beast with lamblike horns shall also cause “the earth and them which dwell therein” to worship the antichrist Pope—there symbolized by the beast “like unto a leopard.” The beast with two horns is also to say “to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast;” and it is to command all, “both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,” to receive the mark of the beast, Revelation 13:11-16.
Those who first found an asylum on the shores of United States rejoiced and gave thanksgiving that they had reached a land that was free from the antichrist Pope and the tyranny of the kingly rule that did what the Pope said; this is the exactly what America has become. They determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty, which has worked in behalf of Rome that would establish a false worship system. That worship system would pay homage to the antichrist Pope on his Sunday, and not the God of the Bible. The God of the Bible is the Lord of the Sabbath day, which was for man and not just the Jews alone, Mark 2:27-28.
Furthermore, when the United States shall enforce Sunday observance, which Rome claims as the special acknowledgment of her supremacy, then it will be at this time where people will begin to receive the Mark of the Beast (the Mark of Rome). Does Rome boast of their mark? See the following passages…
“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act… And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things.” H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons. Nov. 11, 1895
“Sunday is our MARK or authority. . .the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact” Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1,1923.
Do they plan on enforcing their false worship system?
This prophecy foretells a restoration of the Roman Catholic beast’s power – Revelation 13:3,
“I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” The infliction of the deadly wound points to the downfall of the papacy in 1798. History shows that “French troops commanded by Napoleon Bonaparte defeated the papal troops and occupied the Papal States in 1796. In 1798, upon his refusal to renounce his temporal power, Pius was taken prisoner and transported to France.” After this, says the prophet John, “his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” We can clearly see how the world is in love with the Papacy. Paul states plainly that the “man of sin” will continue until the second advent of Christ, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8.
To the very close of time, the Pope will carry forward the work of deception for Satan. And John the revelator declares, also referring to the papacy: “All that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life.” Revelation 13:8. In both the Old and the New World, the papacy will receive homage through the Sunday institution that rests solely upon the authority of the “MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH”. –Revelation 17.
Note:
1. 1st beast is Rome.
2. 2nd beast is America.
3. The Mother of Harlots is the Roman Catholic Church.
4. Her daughters are likened to false prophets that would be like frogs catching their victims with their tongues in smooth preaching that is found in Protestant America
The Roman beast and the Catholic Church
The America beast and the modern day fallen apostate Protestantism
Those are the powers working to secure the world to worship the Antichrist Pope, and those that do will receive the “Mark of the Beast”!
The 2nd beast of Revelation 13
There are three things that we need to look at here. Frist, we need to understand what a beast is. Daniel 7:23, "Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces." So, a beast is a nation/kingdom. Remember that there are leaders that lead these nations or kingdoms. For instance, you have the President of the United States. Or you have the Prime Minister of countries that use that title. It is the same as it was for the nation Rome with the Ceasars as it is with the Vatican beast and their Antichrist Pope who claims to be a god on earth. "Beast coming up out of the earth" - This prophecy is chronologically linked with the Pope's captivity in 1798 AD, and his death in 1799 (Revelation 13:10, "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword."), with an uprising of another beast or nation. Remember, the first beast that came up out of the sea? Sea has water in it. So then, what does water mean? Revelation 17:15, "And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." Waters mean peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. So, if this beast rises up out of the earth then that has to mean that it raised in a not so populated area on the planet. How do we know? The Bible would have said so by using the term sea again. Most of the world's population was in Europe and surrounding areas during the beginning of this earth’s history. But for America, we can see that very little human life had inhabited it. "he had two horns like a lamb" - The first clue we can figure out here is that this beast or nation is describedto have two horns. What dohorns represent in Bible prophecy? Meaning: #1 = POWER AND STRENGTH Scriptural facts: Meaning: #2 = KING OR KINGDOM Daniel 8:5,21; 22, "And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power." So, we can understand that when the Bible talks about horns in prophecy, it is referring to power/strength and kings or kingdoms. When we look at America, what two powers are like the first beast (Rome)? Answer: Church and State! However, the second beast did right in the beginning when it established the separation of Church and State. Why? The Word of God tells us that these two do not mix. The Word of Truth tells us that we need to not have these two yoked because the Church belongs to God and the State belongs to the world. Where in the Scripture does it say that these two powers are to be separated? Matthew 22:17-21, "Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites? Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's." "Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men," Acts 5:29. "he spake as a dragon" - This nation would also speak like a dragon. It would look like a Christian, but it would speak like a dragon eventually. America would have a Christian beginning but would eventually be taken over by the character of the dragon, Matthew 7:16. What does a dragon represent in Bible prophecy? Symbol: = DRAGON Isaiah 27:1, "In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea." Revelation 12:7-8, "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven." Revelation 12:9, "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." So, the dragon is Satan, the Devil. When you see the history of the seven churches,you can see how they all started out Christlike, but overtime the enemy (Satan) infiltrates everything and takes it over. Just like he did in America. When the Protestants fled to America to escape religious persecution from the Pope and the Dark Ages, where the Papacy slaughtered millions of God’s children, America started out obeying God, His law and keeping the faith of Jesus that is found only in the Godhead was eventually persuaded by the lies of Rome in SUNday keeping and trinity belief. How did this happen? The Jesuit order of the Vatican infiltrated the pulpits of America, the government, institutions and such to bring the country into the ranks and beliefs of Romanism. In the beginning of America, they had laws in place that would prohibit Catholic from partaking in government affairs, jobs and such. They changed it over time because the families that were Catholic were sent over by the Papacy to pose as Protestants. If you remember, Thanksgiving was a celebration that took place with the Indians to give thanks to the God of Heaven for delivering them from the kings of Europe that were under Roman Control. They were very happy that they did not have to worry anymore about the hellish treatment they received from the beast in Rome. But now today, if you take a look America, you can see how the Vatican was hard at work. Look at our Government buildings and such. They are of Roman design. Everything is becoming Romanized. The dragon is rebuilding Babylon on a world scale which will soon be destroyed. The Trinity of Hell
"Here is something MANY people miss regarding the Dragon, the Vatican, and the USA. Satan always mocks the Lord because God's design is perfect, and he knows it. So he uses Heavenly structured methods, but of course he does so with satanic wickedness. Notice these three tables that illustrate the actual mockery of the Godhead by Satan and his cohorts." |

Revelation 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.” Understanding: “And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him" - As stated, America was taken over by the Jesuit order, which is working for the Pope. America does not demand worship to itself, but it is the Pope who demands worship. American Christianity is designed to lead others back to worshiping the first beast that it once fled from in the "Dark Ages." The world, the Christian professed world does in fact worship the Pope through SUNday worship. American Christianity is leading the world astray into SUNday exultation as prophesied about. God warns us of this in Revelation 14:9-10, "... If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God..." The Vatican in time past has forced those who would not bow before Baal/Pope. If they did not comply with their decree, they would in time kill them as they did in the "Dark Ages." America is falling in the footsteps of the first beast by doing the same thing. What I mean by this is they already have a law in place for SUNday. It is called the Blue Laws that Kennedy had in place. They just have not enforced it yet. They will in due season. When they do this, it is where you will see Revelation 20:4 will be fulfilled, Beheaded for the Word of God! By the way, guillotines have arrived in America. The officials of church and state will unite to bribe those who will not comply with their terms, persuade many with money and high worldly positions, or compel all classes to honor SUNday. The lack of divine authority that is found in the Word of God will be supplied by oppressive enactments of wicked men and women of the world to push for the dragon's goals in deceiving the human race. Political corruption, debase minds of the world are destroying the love of justice and is disregarding the Bible Truths in these last days. It is no longer a free America. The leaders and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will give way to the popular demands for a law to enforce Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, where many lives have been lost for freedom will have been in vain, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected in America or around the world. In the soon-pending conflict that stands before the commandment-keeping people who are strivingto gain access to the kingdom of God through Christ's power provided, shall fulfill the prophet's words: The dragon (satan) was wroth with the woman (true commandment-keeping church of God), and went to make war with the remnant of her seed (last day church who has come after the fall of Laodicea/SDA), which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ," Revelation 12:17. - emphasis supplied "whose deadly wound was healed” - In 1798, we saw how the Pope was captured and led into captivity for killing with the sword. So, how did it end in 1798, which then the 2nd beast came to power after the beast of Rome received a deadly wound? "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword..." Revelation 13:10. The Papacy for 1260 years killed/made war, by the "sword" (military) with the true church of God. And it all ended in 1798AD. Scriptural facts regarding sword: Isaiah 3:25, "Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war." During the month of February 10th, Napoleon Bonaparte in 1798AD did send General Louis Alexandre Berthier and his army into the seat of Satan (Revelation 2:13) Rome, Italy, which did end their rule with this deadly wound. "In 1798 General Berthier made his entrance into Rome, abolished the papal government, and established a secular one." -Encyclopedia Britannica 1941 edition. The beast received a deadly wound as it says in Revelation 13:3, "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death..." Pope dies: August 1799:Fact: A documented Roman Catholic source plainly states- "Half Europe thought... that with the Pope the Papacy was dead." -Joseph Rickaby "The Modern Papacy" Lectures on the History of Religion, Lecture 24, (London Catholic Truth Society, 1910), p.1. |
Revelation 13:13, “And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.” For many years, all eyes have been on America. One of the major events that took place in this was when the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 with President Reagan at the helm and the Pope hiding behind stage. During this time, we also saw the collapse of the Soviet Union Empire with Mikhail Gorbachev. And in the literal since of world events like the wars that American has been a part of, fire has come down "in the sight of men". Once instance in America’s history that no one will forget is when the United States bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 which has been estimated at death toll of half the population of 350,000. This is the American "voice" that "speaks as a dragon." This nation will soon deceive the world as prophesied about with her satanic sway. It is the same way that Hitler was able to do it or as the Vatican was able to do it through the German military. If you carefully study what Germany did, or what the Vatican did through Hitler, you will see a successful deception that takesplace in the last days through America to gain complete control over the world. The whore that sits in Rome has learned from her mistakes and does not plan to make anymore mistakes when the decree of Sunday worship takes center stage. This is a nation that everyone looks up to for money, food, life and even church. Many would claim that America is broke, but the fact is America was prospering for such a long time, but as the Vatican slowly gained access with her infiltration in the halls of DC, things have changed over the years. We are clearly losing money. We lost trillions of dollars when Bush was in office. Where did that all go? The whore of Rome is saving her stolen money from the hard-working Americans. When a nation like America or Israel of old was following the Commandments of God, they were blessed as a nation, but then when they would give way to the enemy of souls, then you have what you see today, a nation of corruption, greed and such. The blessings and protection from above are removed. The Vatican has to take the hard-working American dollar away somehow or else, how else is she going to fund the United Nations when the United States calls for Marshall Law, which will be to enforce SUNday worship? The United States is the beast that satan has clearly given power to. Really, can anyone make war with this beast or with the Vatican? Both these nations have been conquering nations for a very long time. Every time a nation has been in trouble, it has been America to come save the day. Everyone looks to America for help, for answers and such. Also, this United States has such a military force today that no other nation on the planet can match up to it. The technology is remarkable. The first beast is using this beast to serve her purpose. Satan is using both to serve his hellish purpose. |
Revelation 13:14, “And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” America is the one who gives the first beast life again after her deadly wound in 1798. That image that is of Rome is both political and religious. Church and State Can Cooperate, Says Pope |
Revelation 13:15, “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Again, America will give power unto the image of Rome, the image of the Vatican. Separation of Church and State. The reason or need for this to happen is because the church cannot enforce their beliefs unless the government is under her control. They need the laws of the land to be the church's so that they can use the State/military to make it happen. Just like they did in the "Dark Ages." SPEAK = LEGISLATION & CAUSE = ENFORCEMENT
Removing the separation of church and state! EVANGELICAL LEADERS PARTICIPATE IN PAPAL MASS

Revelation 13:16-17, “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.” When the United States takes their position in enforcing Sunday Worship, they will then cause almost everyone to receive the Mark of the Beast in the right hand or in their foreheads. How can the beast force you to receive the Mark of the Beast in your hand? In the Bible, the hand is a symbol of work. Think about this for a moment, will you? Is it really that hard to say no to Sunday worship? It is really that hard to follow God, which is the unpopular way of the world like it was in the days of Noah.Everyone needs to understand that the wage of sin is death, Romans 6:23. We need to strive, fight the Good FIGHT of faith and lay hold on eternal life. We fight by being obedient to God. Satan is trying to get us to break the law of God. We must repent from sin, for the kingdom of God is at hand. Heaven is a choice and it is yours to make. The way to heaven is narrow and a few find it because they don’t want to fight and overcome sin. This is not love for God. Only the strong will make it to heaven. Only the warriors for God will survive. But you can be that child if you truly die to self and give way to God the Holy Spirit which He will teach you to become Christlike. He will lead you into all truth. |
Revelation 13:18, “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.” Understanding: THE ANTICHRIST
Proof # 1: The Ten Commandments of the Bible total 295 words in length. However, the Roman Catholic ten commandments are a total of only 77 words. This is an open attempt to change the Law of God, regardless of the fact that Jesus Christ Himself declared in Matthew 5:18, “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law…” The Catholic church has removed 218 jots and tittles from the Law of God just as Daniel stated they would in Daniel 7:25. www.RemnantofGod.org
We are to be wise!!! You gain wisdom from reading your KING JAMES BIBLE.
Revelation 1:1The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass. The message is here for you to understand what is going on today. The antichrist has just been revealed to you with all the proof one needs. It is up to you as one who claims to loves Jesus to allow the Holy Ghost to work with you and let this truth sink into your heart before probation closes. |
There were 265 Popes that have existed. The 266th pope that is currently sitting in the Vatican City is none other than the infamous Mr. Ratzinger from Germany. This so-called god on earth was a soldier in Germany where he played his evil part in the Nazi holocaust. If you don’t know what the holocaust was, it was an attempt by the Roman Catholic Church through the military power of the country Germany to exterminate the Literal Jewish folks from the face of the earth. It was this same type of method that Rome used to persecute the saints of God for 1260 years during the Dark Ages or better known as the crusades. We can see how this was prophesied about in Rev 12:6 & 13:7 where the woman (true Church Revelation 21:2) fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days (1260years) because it was given unto him (Pope) to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him (Pope) over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. (1260 days = 1260 years. Ezekiel 4:6 I have appointed thee each day for a year.) 
Is this the true church of God? God forbid!!! My King James Bible tells me that we are to be like Christ, to conform to His Image, to love our neighbor, and to love our ENEMY.
