Will the beast power rule the world in the end as we have been shown in the modern scenarios?

Is this what the bible teaches? or is this one of the false prophecies Jesus warns us will come, in the last days right before the end ?

Matthew 24:3-4

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying,

Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you……..

Matthew 24:11-15

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by

Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

This is Jesus’ warning about what is going to happen in the end of the world, and if you go on in this chapter and the next, it seems he is emphasizing the fact; that we had better know the truth, for there will be many false prophets coming and will led away many.

But to answer our question; concerning the Beast Power ruling over the whole earth in the time of the end; we must take Jesus’ warning He gave us at the end of the above text; “to read and understand what Daniel the Prophet said concerning this abomination of desolation”; that would be standing in the holy place in the end of the world.

Well, what ever it is, it has to do with the time of the end, and it is a warning for those who read it, and that’s obviously those who are in the end time situation like us[1].

So lets go to Daniel for the answer to our question and see if this popular doctrine is a true or a false prophecy.

Notice what Paul writes concerning “the truth” and “the beast” and “the false prophecies” and “us”;

II Thessalonians 2:3-12

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a

falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so

that he as God sitteth in the temple of God , shewing himself that he is God.

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

I want to know the truth, don’t you, especially when it comes to all these questions, so I will not be “so deceived” that God gives me over to “the delusions” I know I will encounter, and I will believe them rather than believe the truth made plain in the bible and the bible only.

In Chapter 2; Daniel interprets a dream for the king of Babylon; “the first kingdom upon the earth to rule the whole world under one king”, and by the way, just like the modern doctrines we are talking about, say the beast will do in the last days; thus our study.

We all know this story of Daniel I hope, if not you can quickly read it up to verse 31, bringing us to where Daniel tells the king his dream and the interpretation God gives him; so lets read the dream and the interpretation here;

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was

This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together,

and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them

away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a

This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

Now God of course gave Daniel the interpretation of this dream and what the image meant[2];

Daniel 2:37-43

Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom,

And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls

of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all.

And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom

And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces

and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces

And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron,

the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron,

And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall

And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves

with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

Notice the image and the descriptions; and then look at the history books; only four kingdoms have been upon this earth with a “single king-ruler” at the head who ruled the whole earth under their command; and as God showed Daniel (and us here); only these four would ever come to control the whole world, because the ones that follow the last empire (Rome) will never be able to come together to make another world empire. Oh, it will have the same characteristics as Rome, even take her name, but it will never gain “world dominance” as the modern religionists claim the beast is going to in the end;

God is showing us here with his graphics; in the end, it will be (the stone that turns into a great mountain) “his kingdom” that will follow the ten toes, and “His kingdom” will be the next to rule “for ever” (vs. 44-) as that’s as far as his predications could go! Since it started from the top down and ended with the toes where else can the prediction go?

We have answered our primary question; whether the Beast will rule the whole world in the end or not, and obviously it will not! But lets explore this prophecy further, for it gives us clues about the end of the world and leads us to identify the “Beast Power itself” who is shown in our next text to come up there in the time “of the ten toes.” Wouldn’t you like to know who the bible says the beast power is?[3]

When Rome fell in 476 ad the ten tribes that brought her down came into power as a result.

Lombards –

Italy

Visigoths –

Spain

Daniel 7:2-11

Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven

The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were

plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man,

And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side,

and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it,

After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four

wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible,

and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces,

and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that

I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn,

before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold,

I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment

was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery

A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto

him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the

I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even

till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

Notice he saw four beasts in this dream and they represent the same four kingdoms; as he is told;

Daniel 7:16-17

I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told

These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth………..

Daniel 7:23

Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth……

This forth beast was Rome of course, but we will soon discover “the little horn power” that he saw coming up “among the 10” and “plucked up three by the roots”, is the famous “Beast Power” that comes on the scene of time after Rome falls, and right there among the ten kingdoms, and it destroys three of the original tribes that overthrew Rome just as the dream described to Daniel way back there in 605 bc and history recorded when they happened some 1000 years in the future.

Daniel 7:19-26

Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others,

exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured,

And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before

whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things,

I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High;

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 the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall

rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints

of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his

But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to

The power we read about here; that subdues three whole nations; is shown to “be functioning” during the years between 476 ad (when Rome fell) to the end of time.

In fact a time frame is given for his rule, did you see it? A time frame of; “a time, times, and the dividing of time”.

How long is this prophetic period ? Remember now it’s a prophetic time frame. If only we had Sir Isaac Newton, the numbers man, with us today he could figure it out for us couldn’t he ?

Of course he could, and he did ! Notice his words I copied from his book I have in my library;

Notice the top of the above page (114); this period (time, times, dividing of time) equals 1260 years of real time!

Did you also read where Newton even identified the power who not only reigned for this 1260 year period but was also responsible for plucking up, or genocide the three nations God said it would.

How simple it is to identify the beast power! Martin Luther and all the forefathers knew this too, why didn’t you?

Is this true historically; that the church of Rome (the Papacy) ruled for 1260 years during some time after 476 ad for the next 1260 years?[4]

You had better believe it, and a trip to the public library confirms it (the electronic encyclopedias are to vague and conflicting to use, even though you can find the truth from history there, its buried, and in the end you discover is not a reliable reference source and a lot of the researchers are bios).

In the early part of the 6^th century, as the Emperor of what was left of Rome, Justinian, was trying to bring the nations still loyal to the Roman ideal together to form another world power, (against Gods prophecy of course which said; ‘no other nation would ever rule again’) Justinian sought to align himself with the now powerful Papacy who had gained power by her destruction of the heretics, or arian nations she so called (including the three little horns she plucked up[5]), she was becoming so powerful that the Emperor gave the Pope religious power over all areas of the hopeful empire in 508 ad. Eventually, in just 62 years after Rome fell, in 538 ad, the Papacy, not even by choice[6], assumed full control over the rag tag empire of Rome (not a world power incidentally) thus the church is called the “Roman” Catholic Church.

From 538 ad - 1260 years until 1798 ad (exactly) the church of Rome controlled the political and religious sector of society under her power, and if you read the last scripture given above you can see how God perfectly revealed her actions during that time, when she persecuted the saints by the multi-millions, she changed Gods law and time in one act; by changing the worship day from the Sabbath of time and creation, to Sunday, and completely genocide three whole nations out of existence just as God predicted.

And, if this prophecy came true so precisely, so will the predictions John wrote about her as the beast of Revelation 12,13&14 (notice the time frames given there) when she, after a recovering from a seemingly deadly wound (in 1798ad), regains her power over our mixed up world, and when she does; it’s predicted she “will” once again return to her original posture, and the persecution will return, and the whole world will wonder after her as they already do, via her doctrines and her day of worship.

This doesn’t seem possible, but as we have briefly seen; God predicts nations arising and falling, and if there is anything we can count on as true, it must be the word of God, if not what?

BEASTS JUSTIFICATION FOR KILLING HERETICS

Daniel had another dream that seals the dependability of prophecy and establishes the bible historically in time. Archeology has proven time and time again the bible is an accurate account of history, and this dream Daniel was given takes us from a well established period of time 600 years+ before Christ, and brings us up to 1800 years+ after his death. Had the people of Jesus’ day just studied the scriptures through this “one prophecy alone” they could have known the very year of the Messiah and been prepared to usurer Him in. Unfortunately God saw into the future and saw their rejection and crucifixion of His Son and had Daniel write it down for their warning and for our faith in prophecy.

Lets take a quick look at this prophecy, and when we do, we will find how it connects exactly with what we have studied thus far.

And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great,

And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the

Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily

And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression,

and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered.

Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint

which spoke, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the

transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden

And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the

And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision. Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright. And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be. The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and

Persia

. 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. And in the “latter time of their kingdom”, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days. And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

Now most of chapter 9 tells of how Daniel is praying and pleading for the answer to the vision, as we saw, he had only been shown in part and was told to shut up the vision for it was to far off in the future for him to worry about knowing what it meant. But Daniel was persistent, and if you take a few moments to read his prayer you will see why his heart was so heavy; he thought the vision had something to do with the rebuilding of the sanctuary that had been destroyed by king Nebuchadnezzar, but he was soon to see, yes, it was connected with that event, but the time frame he herd mentioned (the 2300 days) did truly stretch in the very distant future even into ours!

In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem . And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

Now before we move on to the interpretation of this prophecy given to Daniel lets look at a few important aspects of Daniels prayer;

Notice in the above text; how Daniel was studying prophecy from the scriptures he had (the book of Jeremiah), and from this particular prophecy, Daniel was able to determine that the delivery of his people from the present desolation against Jerusalem, was to come to and end in his very near future, and so he pleads with fasting and sackcloth thinking that the 2300 days related to this prophecy. It does, but only as a starting point and thats all, however he does get his answer to his prayer about the restoration of the sanctuary of Jerusalem .

The closing of Jeremiahs prophecy begins the 2300 year prophecy. So lets go to the heavenly interpretation of this prophecy; and one more thing; if you read the prayer of Daniel here between verses 3 and 21 it only takes a couple of minuets, but notice verses 21-23 how the angel Gabriel flew from heaven to earth in that couple minuets! Take about travel at the speed of light - what about thought!! Sorry I just had to point that out.

Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. Seventy weeks are determined (cut off from) upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy[19]. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Look at that last statement here are the very words Jesus used in Mathew 24:14 when he said what was it ? “When ye therefore see the abomination of desolation” as spoken by the prophet Daniel, know and understand what I am saying; well this is it we are to know so we are on track now and soon we will see how this prophecy ties to the other ones we were studying.

Look at this chart it gives you a graphic of how all these dates given above fit;

457 is the date given for the “going forth of the commandment to restore and re-build Jerusalem ” look at Ezra 7 where that decree is given and look at the center column of my bible;

457 is one of the most sound archeological dates we know. 483(days or years)-457-1/2bc (going forth was in the fall of the year)=26-1/2ad add 1 year for no year zero (going from bc to ad time)=27-1/2ad the time when Jesus was baptized in this year and then he would to preach (confirm the covenant) for 3-1/2 years bringing us to 31 ad.

A trip to the library is in order again to find the “book of calendars”(in all libraries); This book equates the Gregorian calendar with the Hebrew:

This page tells us that the Passover falls (and can be calculated for any year past or future-like easter) 163 days “preceding” the Jewish new year; The next page tells us that in the year 32ad the Jewish new year fell on Monday Sept 22

If we graph this (as I have) we find that by going back 163 days from that date we find that the Passover for the year 31ad fell on “Saturday” agreeing with the biblical record. If we use 31ad and go back 163 days Passover for that year falls on Monday. Etc.

go prove it your self and you will find its true, and it proves or supports the prophecy as exact, and the Messiah came right on time according to the prophecy making the rest of the prophecy accurate.

If the prophecy came true exactly in Jesus’ time with his baptism, crucifixion, and the rejection of the Jews (stoning of Stephen the first myrter after Jesus) giving over the ministry to the gentiles, then the date of 1844 must be just as true and accurate (see Yom Kippur) and the event that happened then (in 1844ad) was to be the beginning of the “anti-typical day of judgment” taking place in heaven right now (that’s another subject I take up in my “Yom Kippur” study).

And this is why, at the end of Daniels visions and writings, he was told about this period of time where he is pictured as “standing in his lot” with the others, inc. you and me, as every case will be herd before Jesus comes, and that’s how he can bring his reward with him (re Rev. 22:12).

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. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

From the time the abomination of desolation[20] is set up 508ad+1290 (days or prophetic years)=1798ad but in another 45 years (1335-1290) all this knowledge I have presented here was to be understood in the year of 1844ad.

You see the book of Daniel was closed (above text last part) and not to be opened until the end of the 2300 days in 1844ad. Once it was opened “in full understanding” it would no longer take a Newton or an Einstein to understand it, for all will be “blessed” by the knowledge now available to “even us”…….”Blessed is he that waiteth, and commeth to the 1335^th day prophecy spells out for their eyes will be opened…..

[1] ..and like Jerusalem…..Don’t let this comparison event Jesus used of the destruction of Jerusalem throw you, this whole chapter is dealing with the disciples question about the end of the world, and what it was going to be like. The Jerusalem example was to warn people that when a prophecy is given; some will heed its warnings and some will not, but worse some will be deceived away from the truth about how its going to happen (i.e. Left Behind-second chance theory-now accepted doctrine - even though its not biblical) and be caught off guard by the event as a thief….. See Octobers “what’s new” www.mosescats.com

[2] This is a perfect example of letting the bible interpret its self (re II Peter 1:20-21) we could stop here, and make wild accusations about what this image means, like some do with prophecies elsewhere, but no, Peter tells us the Bible must interpret itself and “scripture is of no private interpretation”. This stands in the face of modern religion which says; “each one of us relate to the bible individually and what it says to you it may not be saying to me. How dangerous this is, and it goes against scripture. Satan can move right in on a person who believes that or even a variation of this false doctrine.

[3] God gave prophecies one right after another to His prophets and each time He gave one on the same subject He “expands” the previous prophecy and “built upon it” as we will see.

[4] When you think about it where else in time; between the fall of Rome and now; can you place “1260 years” where a power ruled and it’s a power that still rules. In fact you can’t find any power except that of the Papacy that has ruled this long and is still identifiable.

[5] See attachments at end of this study.

[6] This is so important to note; for it shows the hand of the unseen working as the prophecy unfolds right on time. Keep in mind the church always has a choice , as we do, to turn around and lift God up. Just because God knows the future doesn’t mean He takes our choice (free will) away!

[7] The dragon is mentioned here and not the Beast Power, what’s the story? Satan acts through worldly agencies when he has control over these agencies as he did the Beast Power during that dark period of time (1260 years see verse 6 – same woman) in killing 80,000,000+ heretics because they would not succumb to her religion but stayed true to the word of God even in death.

[8] Rev. 19:10 tells us what the testimony of Jesus is.

[9] Notice this beast is a “composite” of the former beasts descriptions, lion, bear, leopard, but naturally behind then all was the dragon, that old serpent Satan (re chapter 12 Rev.). This beast is as the image “composed” of all the nations before if not in physician –form and shape each influencing the next until out of this ancestry comes the beast as one of the heads (every nation is represented at the table of the Vatican , and what other head has this type power under one voice ? Who is like the pope ? Who can make war against him ?)

[10] in 1798 French general Berthier marched into Rome and pulled the Pope off the throne for all the atrocities she had committed and swore the papacy would never rule again. Of course we all know what happened and how her deadly wound has healed and how her power is greater than ever today.

[11] Very important clue, linking this beast with the little horn of Daniel; 42 months are how many years ? 3 ½ right ? Sound familiar ? Look at Newton ’s book again; a time (1) plus times (2) plus a dividing of time (1/2)=3 ½ obviously God is identifying this power as the same, no doubt.

[12] What about this blasphemy against God ? Only God can forgive sin (re Mark 2:5-1) not the Priests or the Popes, that’s “blasphemy”, if man could do this it makes Jesus’ death insignificant and destroys the sanctity of the sanctuary wherein was salvation displayed to be in “Christ alone” the Lamb slain from the foundations of the earth (re Rev. 13:6-8). The article I attached from “Mary on line” tells how blasphemous this power is to try and make even Mary “co-matrix” with Jesus! Do you know what that means ? Even Mary could forgive sin! I suppose this is the next logical step since most all the prayers of the Roman Catholic constituency are through her now. Protestantism used to call that blasphemous, but now, great preachers like “Billy Graham” say things like the Pope is the conscience of the Christian world, and some have definite plans to merge with her under a Christian coalition, or the national council of churches etc. Pat Robertson even said something like this ‘by linking up with the Catholics “we” could have the power to set the politics. This sounds great but who do you suppose would be the influential head ? Ask Billy…..

[13] Obviously the same persecuting power of the little horn, just another mark.

[14] Worship here takes a whole new connotation when you think about the attached article on “heretics” to follow. Worship and the day she set (Sunday) is the bases for her power and authority this is most obvious. How much of the world respects her day ? Go to a lot of the mainly Muslim countries who do not adopt her day but you find on “Sunday” all the shops are mysteriously closed ? strange….Why even something known by a few as the Sunday blue laws on still on every law book of our land just waiting to be re-instated (as I take up in one of my “what’s new” months) these statutes even though not enforced everywhere, are strangely on every law book of even this land of “religious freedom and so called separation” just waiting the reinstitution of power the bible predicts the beast will have “even in this land” and the reason is we (apostate Protestantism) “build the image to her” defined in the last part of this chapter. I know its hard to accept or see this now, but its inevitable (as we have seen Gods word come true), and the stage is already set, not only by law, but through the blindness of “apostate Protestantism” who have forgotten how her forefathers “gave their life at the stake” for their freedom from persecution (see “Watchman” on www.mosescats.com ). The old saying rings true more than ever “forget your past and you are apt to repeat it”

[15] Very important footnote; If you noticed all the other beasts mentioned came up out of the water (meaning out of the people, they inherited their ancestry by building upon each other) but this one comes up out of the earth ! When you read the following verse it all fits together that this is the USA and her protestant foundations, but as history is showing us every day, as a religious and sovereign power (Christian based) we are building that image as we speak. This is so obvious based on all the data, only the nominal bible student never gets it, it takes a “prayerful and forward motion” for these type awakenings to reality on our part. Daniel fasted and in sackcloth plead for the truth what do we care sometimes….

[16] This is the biggest clue of all; Where did God want to place his Ten commandments (inc. the forth) in man, under the “old covenant” (re Deut 6) why in the forehead and hands read it. What about under the “new covenant”? where does He want to place his law in us ? (re Hebrews 9,10) in the same place (inc, His day of worship) read it. Here’s the bomb; Where does the beast power want to place his worship ? In the very same place! Friends there’s the battle ground for our soul, and nearly the whole world is passive about it, and do not realize the consequences surrounding their decision to follow God or the beast, but chapter 14 of revelation tells the story of the results of such a decision. Spelling out graphically (prophetically) a vivid picture of this battle of conscience. Here my friends is displayed those who” worship” God or have the mark of the beast “which has to do with worship” see if you can find the clues and do it prayerfully……

[17] in the word God gave for His worship day you find His name “Abba” he wants us to place in our foreheads in opposition to the beasts day of the “Sun”…and don’t let anyone tell you it stands for “son” that’s blasphemy against the truth Gods spells out plainly herein.

[18] This in context is obviously the last day message; Therefore every thing we glean from it and even the warning that follows is ultra important for us here in the end. Notice particularly the identification of the end time saints and what marks them, and putting the whole of this study into perspective contrast them with those who receive the mark of the beast. When you compare remember it has to do with worship and God is specifically calling our attention to his document containing his way of worship and this is all possible to understand if we accept it with the faith of Jesus which makes it all possible. What more can be said ? There is “so” much more and I can’t wait to put it all on my site so that its plain and simple this is my prayer…..

[19] this was a warning to the nation of Israel – they failed to acknowledge and thus didn’t usurer in the Messiah but crucified Him. What do we do today when we ignore or misinterpret ate prophecy given to us as a warning and a blessing?

[20] This is what Jesus was asking us to “know and understand” there in Mathew 24:15 starting our study. This is my friend the last day message and the gospel for the last days John saw going to all the world in Rev. 14:6-
