REVELATION REVEALED+

These are my notes and historical quotes which revolve around the Mark of the Beast. Feel free to print and distribute as this is one of the characteristics of the end days warning to the world (Revelation 14:6-9). 

GOD’S MARKSeal of God
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord they God: For in six days the LORD [All capitals = His Name] made [Title = Creator] heaven and earth [His territory],the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it” Exodus 20:8-11
Note
All seals through history, for the use of authority and validating laws, consisted of three elements which are: Name, Title, and Territory. Without all three, there was no authority and the Law was void because no one would know who the law came from; and if they had authority.

Mark of God
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, they manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it” Exodus 20:8-11
Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a SIGN between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a SIGN between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God. Ezekiel 20:12, 20
Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verly my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a SIGN between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Exodus 31:13
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for A PERPETUAL COVENANT. Exodus 31:16
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. Exodus 31:17Note
Sign in these scriptures comes from the Hebrew word owth; which is a sign, a token, a MARK, A DISTINGUISHING MARK

God’s Promise of Sabbath Keepers
If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable; and shalt honor Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. Isaiah 58:13

Kept Also by the Gentile (Stranger)
Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve Him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the Sabbath... Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer:... for mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people. Isaiah 56:6-7

Placement of God’s Mark
And it will be, if you will listen carefully to MY COMMANDMENTS which I command you today, ... Take heed to yourselves that your HEART MAY NOT BE DECEIVED, and you turn aside and serve other gods, and worship them, ... Therefore you shall lay up these my words in your hearts and in your souls, and BIND THEM FOR A SIGN UPON YOUR HAND, so that they may be as FRONTLETS BETWEEN YOUR EYES. Deuteronomy 11:13-20And these words which I command you this day shall be in your heart. And you shall carefully teach them to your sons... And you shall BIND THEM FOR A SIGN UPON YOUR HAND, and they SHALL BE AS FRONTLETS BETWEEN YOUR EYES. Deuteronomy 6:6-8
And it shall be for a SIGN UNTO THEE UPON THY HAND, and for a memorial BETWEEN THY EYES, that the LORD’s Law may be in they mouth:... Exodus 13:9
Note
Placement of God’s mark is on the hand AND on the forehead which is our actions and our thoughts. Thus, the only difference between God’s mark and the mark of the beast is that the mark of the beast is on the hand OR the forehead which accepting in one or other (action or thought) would make one luke warm in their service to God. 

MARK OF THE BEAST
BEGINNING KNOWLEDGE OF THE MARK OF THE BEASTIn order to understand the Mark of the Beast, we must first understand WHO the beast is. Once we understand WHO the beast is, we then look at their mark.
God is not interested in micro-chips and bar codes, He’s interested in your worship and your loyalty to Him.
SUNDAY WORSHIP
Sunday... so called because this day was anciently dedicated to the sun, or its worship. Webster’s International Dictionary, 19th edition.
Sunday (Dies Solis of the Roman calandar, ‘day of the sun, being dedicated to the sun), the first day of the week. Schaff-Herza Encyclopedia, Sunday.
Sabbath... A Hebrew word signifying rest... Sunday was a name given by the heathens to the first day of the week, because it was the day on which they worshipped the sun”John Eadie, D.D., LL.D. A Bible Cyclopedia, p. 561
FULFILLING PROPHECY - CHANGING TIMES AND LAWS
Prophecy
And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and PLOT TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS. And they shall be given unto his hand until a time and times and one-half time. Daniel 7:25
History and Fulfillment
He can pronounce sentences and judgements in contradiction to the rights of nations, to the law of God and man... He can free himself from the commands of the apostles, he being the superior, and from the rules of the old testament. Decretal, de Translat. Episcop, Cap
The Pope has the power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ.” Decretal De Translat. Espiscop. Cap
The Pope’s will stand for reason. He can dispense above the law; and of wrong make right, by correcting and changing laws.” Pope Nicholas, Dist. 96, Quoted in “Facts for the Times.” pp 55,56. 1893
Q. Which is the Sabbath day?
A. Saturday is the Sabbath day
Q Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday. The Convert’s Chatechism of Catholic doctrine (1957, p 50)
She took the pagan Sunday and made it the Christian Sunday... and thus the pagan Sunday, dedicated to Balder, became the Christian Sunday sacred to Jesus Cath. World, March 1894, P 809Pope Pius 1566 commanded by council of Trent. “It pleased the church of God that the religious celebration of the Sabbath day should be transferred to the Lord’s day (Sunday)” Chatechismus Romanus, 1867, Chap. 3The Church, ... after changing the day of rest from the Jewish Sabbath, or seventh day of the week, to the first, made the third commandment refer to Sunday as the day to be kept holy as the Lord’s Day. Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol 4. p 153.
PLACEMENT OF THE MARK OF THE BEAST
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.Revelation 13:16-17Note
There is a difference in the mark of God and the mark of the beast in that which the mark of God is to be on the hand (works) AND forehead (thoughts) while the mark of the beast is to be on the hand (works) OR the forehead (thoughts) as one or the other, though not fully into the wrong system, makes on luke warm. This fact is shown in a quote of the beast system itself, in the following statement.Reason and common sense demand the acceptance of One or the other of these alternatives: either Protestantism and the keeping holy of Saturday, or Catholicity and the keeping holy of Sunday. Compromise is impossible. The Catholic Mirror, December 23, 1893

MARK OF THE BEAST - ACCORDING TO THE BEAST
Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act... And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters. Letter in discussion of the change of Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, Oct 28, 1895, from C.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons
Sunday is our MARK of authority... The Church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact. Catholic Record. September 1, 1923The Bible says remember the thou keep holy the Sabbath day. The Catholic Church says NO! By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week. And lo the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church. Father Enright, American Sentinal June 1893
MARK OF THE BEAST USED TO IDENTIFY TRUE CHRISTIANSOn the venerable Day of the Sun let the Magistrates and people residing in the cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. Edict of Constantine, AD 321Christians shall not Judaize (keep Sabbath) and be idle on Saturday (Sabbath original) but shall work on that day; but the Lord’s day they shall especially honor. Council of Laodicea, Canon 29

MARK OF THE BEAST USED FOR BUYING AND SELLING
The bishops and priest take care and to forbid under pain of excommunication, every person from presuming to give reception or at least assistance to the followers of this heresy, which first began in the country of Tholouse, whenever they shall be discovered, neither were they to have any dealings with them in buying or selling; that being so deprived of the common assistance of life, they might be compelled to repent of the evil of their way.
Whosoever shall dare to contravene this order, let them be excommunicated, as a partner with them in guilt. As many of them as can be found let them be imprisoned by the Catholic princes and punished with the forfeiture of all their substance.
The King of Arragon banished all the Waldenses in 1194 as a consequence. Synod of Tbolouse AD 1163: Decree against Sabbath keepers
CHANGING OF SABBATH TO SUNDAY IN SCRIPTURE
Sunday is a Catholic institution, and it’s claims to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles... From the beginning to the end of Scripture there is not a single passage which warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first. Catholic Press (Sydney) August 25, 1900
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. James Cardinal Gibbons, The Father of our Fathers, p. 89
The Christian Sabbath is therefore to this day the acknowledged offspring of the Catholic Church, as spouse of the Holy Ghost, without a word of remonstrance from the Protestant world. The Cath. Mirror Sept. 23, 1893
Note
They are mocking Protestants for not keeping Saturday Sabbath; saying if they follow Sunday, they follow the authority of the Catholic Church (the beast)If Protestants would follow the Bible, they should worship God on the Sabbath Day. In keeping the Sunday they are following a law of the Catholic Church. Albert Smith, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, replying for the Cardinal in a letter dated February 10, 1920
Protestantism, in discarding the authority of the Roman (Catholic) Church, has no good reason for its Sunday theory, and ought logically to keep Saturday as the Sabbath. John Gilmary Shea, in the “American Catholic Quarterly Review”, January 1883
Not the Creator of the Universe, in Genesis 2:1-3, but the Catholic Church “can claim the honor of having granted man a pause to his work every seven days. S. C. Mosna, ‘Storia della Domenica”, 1969, pp. 366-367Reason and common sense demand the acceptance of One or the other of these alternatives: either Protestantism and the keeping holy of Saturday, or Catholicity and the keeping holy of Sunday. Compromise is impossible. The Catholic Mirror, December 23, 1893
From the apostles time until the council of Laodicea, which was about 364, the holy observation of the Jew’s Sabbath continued, as may be proved out of many authors; yea not withstanding the decree of the council against it. “Sunday a Sabbath,” John Lea, p163 London: 640
That the Sabbath was kept, ‘notwithstanding the decree of the council against it’ is also seen from the fact that Pope Gregory I (AD 590-604) wrote against Roman citizens (who) forbid any work done on the Sabbath day. Nicene’ and post-Nicene Fathers “Second Series, Vol XIII p 13

BEAST VIEW ON PROTESTANT AND SABBATH
APOSTATE IS KEEPING SUNDAY WORSHIPBut the Protestant says: How can I received the teachings of an apostate Church? How, we ask, have you managed to receive her teachings all your life, in direct opposition to your recognized teacher, the Bible, on the Sabbath question. The Christian Sabbath (2nd Ed; Baltimore; The Catholic Mirror, 1893) p29-30

“CONSISTENT PROTESTANT”
... those who follow the Bible as their guide, the Israelites and the Seventh-Day Adventists have the exclusive weight of evidence on their side, whilst the Biblical Protestant has not a word in self defense for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday.Catholic Mirror, Sept 9,m 1893
The Adventist are the only body of Christians with the Bible as their teacher, who can find no warrant in its pages for the change of day from the seventh to the first. Hence there appellation, “Seventh-Day Adventists. Catholic Mirror Sept 9, 1893
The (Catholic) Church changed the observance of the Sabbath to Sunday by right of the divine, infallible authority given to her by her Founder, Jesus Christ. The Protestant claiming the Bible to be the only guide of faith, has no warrant for observing Sunday. In this matter the Seventh-Day Adventist is the only consistent Protestant. The Question Box, The Catholic Univers Bulletin, (August 14,1942) p4
