The document discusses whether 666 is the mark of the beast. It provides biblical references to define key terms like waters, beast, dragon, and lamb. It argues that the mark of the beast is Sunday worship, as revealed in passages commanding no buying or selling without the mark. The mark will be enforced in the forehead or right hand, mirroring how God's law was to be bound as a sign. Currently, no one has the mark of the beast, but when Sunday laws are enforced, it will become clear who worships the beast by disobeying God's command to keep the seventh-day Sabbath. God will protect those who keep his commandments from plagues when they fall on those with the mark

Charagma khar'-ag-mah

graven, mark.
Revelation 13:1
King James Version (KJV)
13 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a
beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and
ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon
his heads the name of blasphemy. 9 And here is the
mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven
mountains, on which the woman sitteth .Revelation
17:9

9. 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.

11. Revelation 17:4
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet
colour, and decked with gold and precious stones
and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of
abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

14. Rev 13:16 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:
Rev 13:17 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.

16. Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change
the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy
day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday.
"The Day of the Lord" (dies Dominica) was chosen, not
from any directions noted in the Scriptures, but from
the Church's sense of its own power. The day of
resurrection, the day of Pentecost, fifty days later, came on
the first day of the week. So this would be the new Sabbath.
People who think that the Scriptures should be the
sole authority, should logically become 7th Day
Adventists, and keep Saturday holy.

our Fathers, 88th ed., pp. 89.
"But you may read the Bible from
Genesis to Revelation, and you will
not find a single line authorizing the
sanctification of Sunday. The
Scriptures enforce the religious
observance of Saturday, a day which
we never sanctify."

19. James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore (1877-1921), in a
signed letter.
"Is Saturday the seventh day according to the Bible and the Ten
Commandments? I answer yes. Is Sunday the first day of the week and
did the Church change the seventh day -Saturday - for Sunday, the first
day? I answer yes . Did Christ change the day'? I answer no!

"There is no word, no hint, in the New Testament
about abstaining from work on Sunday .... into the
rest of Sunday no divine law enters.... The
observance of Ash Wednesday or Lent stands exactly
on the same footing as the observance of Sunday."
Bishop Seymour, Why We Keep Sunday .
We have made the change from the seventh day to
the first day, from Saturday to Sunday, on the
authority of the one holy Catholic Church."

21. “... those who follow the Bible as their guide, the
Israelites and the Seventh-day Adventists have the
exclusive weight of evidence on their side, whilist
the Biblical Protestant has not a word in self defence
of the substitution of Sunday for Saturday.” Catholic
Mirror, Sept.9, 1893
“The Adventists are the only body of Christians
with the Bible as their teach, who can find no
warrant in its pages for the change of day from
the seventh to the first. Hence their
appellation, “Seventh-day Adventists.” Catholic
Mirror, Sept. 9, 1893

23. The mark of the Beast is?
SUNDAY
WORSHIP

24. Rev 13:16 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:
Rev 13:17 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.

25. Deu 6:5-8 And thou shalt love the LORD thy
God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy might. And these words, which
I command thee this day, shall be in thine
heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently
unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when
thou sittest in thine house, and when thou
walkest by the way, and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind
them for a sign upon thine hand, and they
shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

26. Exo 13:8-9 And thou shalt shew thy
son in that day, saying, This is done
because of that which the LORD did
unto me when I came forth out of
Egypt. And it shall be for a sign unto
thee upon thine hand, and for a
memorial between thine eyes, that
the LORD'S law may be in thy mouth:
for with a strong hand hath the LORD
brought thee out of Egypt.

29. Does any one have The Mark of the Beast ?
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.
No one has yet received the mark of the beast. The testing time has not
yet come. There are true Christians in every church, not excepting the
Roman Catholic communion. None are condemned until they have had
the light and have seen the obligation of the fourth commandment. 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. {Ev 234.2}

30. Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that
they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in
through the gates into the city.

Rev 13:11-12 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. 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.

31. 2Co 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the
word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the
sight of God speak we in Christ.
Rev 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial
upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and
grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of
the beast, and upon them which worshipped his
image.
A fearful time is ahead for those who have the
“mark of the beast” and those who worship his
image. When the seven last plagues are
poured out they directly affect them.

32. Psalm 91:9,10 Because you have made the LORD, who is my
refuge, even the Most High,your dwelling place, no evil shall
befall you, nor shall any plague come near
your dwelling.
Rev 7:1-3 And after these things I saw four angels standing on
the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the
earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the
sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from
the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a
loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the
earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea,
nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in
their foreheads.
Protection for God’s people

36. Rev 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from
heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great
is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of
every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Rev 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,
and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her
delicacies.
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,
my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of
her plagues.
Rev 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered
her iniquities.
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow
me:
