Revelation 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, 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: 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.
Why is Rome dubbed the "New Babylon"? It is because the ancient rites, secret religious teachings and practices were conferred upon the new Roman world at the time of the setting up of their world conquest in history. The Babylonian priests who were scattered because of the fall of their kingdom, went out into the world and spread their teachings and mysteries and Rome became the new dispensary of that religion.
Why was the religion of Babylon a mystery? What purpose was mystification serving if the religion was legitimate and for the glorification of the only true God? The reason is because it was to glorify Satan through the worship of the dead, animals, planetary bodies, and man himself in the persons of kings and queens, etc... This is where the worship of departed loved ones began, and why when the LORD lead the Israelite people of old, the Babylonians fashioned a counterfeit to counteract it. It was a direct threat to their way of life, and the reason Semiramis mystified it was because Satan inspired her to draw the minds and attention of men through the temptation of curiosity. When something becomes mysterious through exclusion of the common people, the priests of the religion become honored and venerated and their word is regarded as sacred and god. Whomever they confer the blessing of being worthy of worship, the people follow suit and give homage and honor and glorify as god. This is where the whole idea of popedom came from. This is why it is called, the New Babylon. This is why the woman riding the beast in Revelation has, "MYSTERY BABYLON THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS" written on her forehead.
The Roman Catholic Church says:
ReplyDeleteThe "MYSTERY" of the Trinity is the central teaching upon which all others are based. We know the Harlot riding the Beast has "MYSTERY BABYLON THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS" written on her forehead. We know the 144,000 have the Father's name written on their forehead. We know that those who hold the Trinity will also hold Sunday as sacred and profane the 7th-day Sabbath. So, this must be what is meant by receiving the mark, the name, the number of the name, in the right hand or in the forehead. The breaking of the Sabbath is something done against the authority of God, but the Trinity is something held in the mind, or in the forehead, about God and Christ.
So in the forehead=Trinity
In the right hand=Sunday
In the forehead=Non-Trinity
in the right hand=Sabbath.
Make sense?
Okay... I have the passage from U. Smith's Daniel and the Revelation which deals with this subject. I mean, is there anything more important for us to know at this moment?
ReplyDeleteQuote from: Daniel And the Revelation
Only a few more particulars respecting the 144,000, in addition t...o those given in Revelation 7,
will claim our attention:
They have the name of the Lamb's Father written in their foreheads. In Revelation 7, they are said to have
the seal of God in their foreheads. An important key to an understanding of the seal of God is thus
furnished, for we at once perceive that the Father regards His name as His seal. That commandment of the
law which contains God's name is therefore the seal of the law. The Sabbath commandment is the only
one that contains the descriptive title which distinguishes the true God from all false gods. Wherever this
was placed, there the Father's name was said to be. (Deuteronomy 12: 5, 14, 18, 21; 14: 23; 16: 2, 6; etc.)
Therefore whoever truly keeps this commandment has the seal of the living God.
So, by this reckoning, the whole of the SDA Church would be saved, and all the Jews too right? What would be the problem if they weren't? Well, the Jews reject the son of God, which, by implication must not deal with the Sabbath right? And Catholics don't admit to rejecting the son of God, but their doctrine of God implies that Jesus is not a literal begotten son, which therefore prevents them from receiving the Father's name in their forehead. So, you tell me now, who is going to be able to fulfill the implications of these marks and why? It is only if the seal of God contains His name in the doctrine of Christ, and if the people with a correct understanding of the Father and son and also choose to keep the Sabbath commandment as it is written.
