Big Words of Caution!
Brace yourself, this is a document which consists of big words. Get a damp
cloth, wipe the musky dust and mildew from off of your dictionary and be
prepared to search for some big intellectual sounding words. (Yes in an age
of google and wikipedia searches)
You know what? I do not want you to become weary in not finding these
words. I would put up the definitions for you.
Here are the "Big Words":
1. Nicolaitanism
2. Abomination
3. Antinomianism
4. Mark-of-the-Beast-ism
5. Desolation
What do these 5 words have in common?
They are all things which God hates.
Knowing what God hates, helps us to understand Him better, that we may
become more aligned with doing the things which He loves.
Four out of these big words, if practiced, would lead to eternal
consequences. Those who practice it deliberately, would be in danger of
not being heard by God (1John 5:16; Jeremiah 7:16).
The first big word is "Nicolaitanism". Before using Google, Wikipedia or
YouTube to do personal research, I must warn you. If you do that, you may
not be able to finish this document, simply because it's so much
information elsewhere to read. I would like to encourage you to at least
follow through what is here and then do your own research to determine if
what was said here is true.
People say that the identity and deeds of the Nicolaitans were not made
clear in the Bible. It resulted in many writings of different speculative
interpretations of who the Nicolaitans could have been and what those evil
deeds were. A simple online search about the Nicolaitans would lead the
reader to see all the different interpretations about their origins, what their
evil deeds were. All records of this group seem to conflict with each other
with the exception of a few who have similar testimonies that the
Nicolaitans cannot be traced to any fault or apostasy of the proselyte of
Antioch, Nicolas, in Acts 6:5.
Many ignored the attempt of aiming to identify the group, and instead
delved into the meaning of the greek letters of the name, "Nicolaitans".
We would not go into speculative theories. What I love about God is that He
does not change. Can we look at the fact that there is a principle involved?
It can be found all through the scriptures from the beginning of time and it
would continue until the end of the world. There is one interpretation which
is the Truth of the matter. The Bible makes it very clear.
Here is a Biblical account of the Nicolaitans:
Writing to the church of Ephesus, Jesus, said:
Revelation 2:6 KJV B ut this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the
Nicolaitans, w
hich I also hate.
That God hates these deeds, He means, these deeds are something
detested and hateful in God's eyes. He cannot stand it. His ways and eyes
are pure and He cannot behold or look at iniquity as seen in Habakkuk 1:13.
Let's look at this principle of ‘God hating things,’ from the perspective of
what we call the Old Testament. If we have been reading the Bible for a
little while, we would have come across a certain big word. We may not
have known what it meant, but, we just knew that it could not be anything
good. We know that lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: But they that
deal truly, are His delight (Proverbs 12:22). This brings us to our second big
word: A
bomination. Understanding this second big word helps us to
understand how much God hates the principles, deeds and ways of the first
big word, N
icolaitans.
What is an Abomination?
Webster's Dictionary: A bomination 1. (n.) The feeling of extreme disgust and hatred;
abhorrence; detestation; loathing; 2. (n.) That which is abominable; anything hateful,
wicked, or shamefully vile; an object or state that excites disgust and hatred; a hateful
or shameful vice; pollution. 3. (n.) A cause of pollution or wickedness.
Here we see that God repeatedly used a particular word, in the Old
Testament to describe His hatred of certain deeds of human beings. So far,
we know that God hates all lies, but He loves the truth according to
Proverbs 12:22. What else does He hate?
Proverbs 28:9 KJV He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even
his prayer shall be abomination.
In the context of a worshipper, God says that He even hates the prayer of
those who ignore His Law. Isn't prayer a good thing? The Bible tells us to
never stop praying (Luke 18:1; Ephesians 6:18). God says through Paul, that
we should "pray without ceasing" in 1Thessalonians 5:17. Prayer is a good
thing. When is it unacceptable? According to Proverbs 28:9, when one turns
their ear or attention away from God's Holy Law. When one stifles the
conviction of the Spirit, Who points the believer to the evidence based truth
of God's Word, even their prayer is hated by God.
Therefore we can say that the deeds of the Nicolaitans were an
abomination in God's eyes. Saying that their deeds were abominable is the
same as saying that God hates their deeds. So what were these deeds,
which God hates back then?
Going back to a time before the Nicolaitans existed, the principle of their
deeds was condemned. Speaking through Jeremiah, God said to those
worshippers in Judah:
Jeremiah 7:8-10 KJV 8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. 9
Will ye s
teal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn
incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; 10 And
come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and
say, W e are delivered to do all these abominations?
In verse 8 we see that God was telling the worshippers, (which also applies
to us), "trust not in lying words that cannot profit." If there is no profit, there
is loss. Loss comes from satan, who came to steal to kill and to destroy
(John 10:10). He is also the father of lies (John 8:44), which God hates
(Proverbs 12:22). Reminding us of words which Jesus the Messiah
repeatedly said: "Let no man deceive you" Matthew 24:4,11. Yahshua
described Himself as the Way, the TRUTH and the Life (John 14:6). In His
truth, there is profit and inner peace (Isaiah 48:17,18). Messiah repeatedly
warned His listeners, "Let no man deceive you." In other words, 'do not
believe lies.'
Jeremiah continued in Jeremiah 7:9, describing a number of
commandments that were broken by the worshippers in Judah at that time,
describing them as abominations in Jeremiah 7:10. Remember that an
shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? G od
forbid." (Romans 6:15)
What is sin?
1John 3:4 KJV Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for
sin is the transgression of the law.
One of the closest disciples of Jesus, apostle John, who was taught by the
Messiah, taught exactly what he learnt saying:
1John 3:7-9 KJV 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth
righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth
sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose
the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the
devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
The deeds of a true believer in Messiah, is a pure, holy life filled with the
deeds of righteousness. Remember that the Messiah loves righteousness
and He hates iniquity according to Hebrews 1:9. Jesus hates wilful and
deliberate sins. He hates when christians take His Name on themselves
and still wilfully commit sins. He says, let everyone who takes His Name,
depart from sins and iniquity (2Timothy 2:19). If sin is lawlessness, what
does it mean to depart from sin? Think about it. Complete obedience.
Obedience, also means, obedience to the faith (Romans 1:5; 16:26).
Obedience to the faith is believing in Messiah as our only hope, as seen in
John 14:1. It then involves our obedience to His Commandments as seen in
John 14:15. As we believe in His sacrifice and intercession for us, obeying
His every word, the Holy Spirit is promised in John 14:16-23. The Holy Spirit
gives keeping power and fellowship with both the Father and Son.
Quickly they get to the point where they realize that something is wrong
with the teaching, but few admit that they question the truth of it. Even the
ones who admit that they question the teachings of their pastors, are
satisfied to let it slide as something of not such a big deal. Remember that
these are the things which God hates. He hates these deeds and He
commends those who hate these false teachings and deeds as well.
(Revelation 2:6,15)
It turns out that when the modern day Nicolaitans say that the Law of God
is done away with, what they really mean is that the Sabbath, to them, is
irrelevant. Most would agree that the other 9 Commandments are still
relevant, depending on who you speak with.
So far, we have seen what the apostle John said concerning Jesus'
teachings. What did James, another disciple of Messiah, teach?
James 1:22-25 KJV 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a
doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he
beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what
manner of man he was. 25 But w hoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty,
and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the
work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
James 2:10-12 KJV 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet
offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit
adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou
kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak ye, and so do,
as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
James 2:17-24 KJV 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being
alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me
thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also
believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without
works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he
had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought
with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture
was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto
him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Y e see then
how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Jesus’ disciple, James, according to what He learnt from Messiah, taught
that if you broke one commandment, you are guilty of breaking all. Think
about it. James definitely never forgot when Messiah taught that those
who taught and did the Law, were called great in the Kingdom of Heaven
(Matthew 5:17-20).
Peter, another apostle, who walked with Messiah for over three years,
foretold of people who would have taught Nicolaitan doctrines:
2Peter 2:18-22 KJV 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity,
they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those
that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise
them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a
man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 F or if after they
have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome,
the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been
better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after
they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto
them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The
dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her
wallowing in the mire.
Peter is saying that these are people who teach that they are free from the
Law of God. They boast of their freedom from the Law of God, and that
they are under grace. They turn from God's Holy Commandments. Claiming
to be washed by Jesus’ blood, they go back rolling in the mud of sin. They
claim to be washed and free to go back and get dirty. Thinking that they
have liberty from God's law, they become slaves of corruption. Remember
James the apostle, describes God's Law as the Law of liberty (James 1:25;
2:12). And that is because, true freedom, and true emancipation, is
Freedom from the slavery and bondage of sin. The slavery of sin is
lawlessness (1John 3:4). Therefore, God's Law is indeed the Law of liberty.
What did Paul teach? Did Paul teach anything different to Messiah or the
three closest apostles of Messiah?
Romans 2:12-15 KJV 12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also
perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged
by the law; 13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the
doers of the law shall be justified. 14 For when the Gentiles, which have
not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not
the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law
written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their
thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
Let's see an instance when the Gentiles demonstrated that the Law was
written in their hearts, according to what Paul just said:
Acts 13:42-44 KJV 42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue,
the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next
sabbath. 43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews
and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to
them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. 44 And the next
sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
In the early church, the gentiles (Non-Jews) knew about the Sabbath. They
also knew that the Sabbath for Christians is on the 7th day of the week. It
has always been a part of God's Truth. Therefore, in the New Testament,
the Sabbath was understood and no one questioned it (Hebrews 4:9,10).
Even though all Gentiles knew of this truth way past the first century, close
to its end, in approximately 90AD, Messiah gave the apostle John this
Message in Revelation 2:6. It means that during the triumph of God's truth,
error was already starting to creep into the church. God in His mercy, sent a
message of warning and testimony that none will be left without the truth.
Between the years of 313AD to 538AD, God again sent a message for those
during this church period. In Revelation 2:15,16, we see that this church
didn't only practice these lawless deeds, they started to teach these errors.
This was the church period named Pergamos, and it was during this time
that they started to teach it. W
hat happened during this period allowing it
to be boldly taught?
One of the first aims of the apostate church was the exaltation of Sunday as the chief
sacred day. And no sooner had the Catholic Church made herself sure of the
recognition and support of the state, than she secured from the emperor an edict
setting apart Sunday especially to the purposes of devotion. As the sun was the chief
deity of the pagans, and as the forms of sun-worship had been so fully adopted by the
apostate church, it was an easy task to secure from the sun-loving and
church-courting Constantine, a law establishing the observance of the day of the sun
as a holy day. Accordingly, March 7, A.D. 321, Constantine issued his famous Sunday
edict, which reads as follows:—
"Constantine, Emperor Augustus, to Helpidius: On the venerable day of the sun let the
magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the
country, however, persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue
their pursuits; because it often happens that another day is not so suitable for
grain-sowing or for vine-planting; lest by neglecting the proper moment for such
operations, the bounty of heaven should be lost. (Given the 7th day of March, Crispus
and Constantine being consuls each of them for the second time.)
The title which is given to the day by Constantine in the edict, is venerabili die solis
—venerable day of the Sunday. This was the pagan religious title of the day, and to
every heathen was suggestive of the religious character which attached to the day as
the one especially devoted to the sun and its worship.
It was by virtue of his office and authority as Pontifex Maximus, or supreme pontiff of
the Roman religion, and not as emperor, that the day was set apart to this use;
because it was the sole prerogative of the Pontifex Maximus to appoint holy days. As
Duruy says in his "History of Rome:"—
A law of the year 321 ordered tribunals, shops, and workshops to be closed on the day
of the sun, and he Constantine sent to the legions to be recited upon that day, a form
of prayer which could have been employed by a worshipper of Mithra, of Serapis, or of
Apollo, quite as well as by a Christian believer. This was the official sanction of the old
custom of addressing a prayer to the rising sun. In determining what days should be
regarded as holy, and in the composition of a prayer for national use, Constantine
exercised one of the rights belonging to him as Pontifex Maximus; and it caused no
surprise that he should do this. BEST August 30, 1897, page 275.14 - BEST August 30,
1897, page 276.4
The history records show us exactly how the truth of God's Law was made
less and less prominent. It was foretold by the Bible.
Paul repeatedly predicted, under inspiration, a falling away from the faith:
1Timothy 4:1-2 KJV 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter
times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and
doctrines of devils; 2 S
peaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience
seared with a hot iron;
2Timothy 3:1-8 WEB 1 B ut know this: that in the last days, grievous times
will come. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful,
arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3
without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control,
fierce, not lovers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of
pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 h olding a form of godliness, but
having denied its power. Turn away from these, also. 6 For some of these
are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded
down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning, and never able
to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Even as Jannes and Jambres
opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind,
who concerning the faith are rejected.
2Timothy 3:13 WEB B ut evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse,
deceiving and being deceived.
If I were a Thessalonian, waiting for Messiah's return, I would have been
startled to hear this following prophecy. During the first century, the apostle
Paul in His writings to the Thessalonians, told the saints, who were looking
for the immediate return of the Messiah, that He would not come unless
there first came a falling away. Paul said:
2Thessalonians 2:1-4 KJV 1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye
be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word,
nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 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; 4
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.
Since before 100AD, Paul was teaching the saints that there would be a
"falling away" or an "apostasy from the truth." He taught that before
Messiah comes to take the saints to heaven, there would have to be a
major corrupt change taking place. He taught that there would come a time
when error would become more popular than the truth. As you read the full
chapter, you would notice that the only persons who would believe the lie
without repentance, are those who simply want to hold on to the lie, while
refusing to accept and fall in love with the truth.
In Matthew 24:15, Messiah foretold the second fulfillment of this prophecy,
calling it the "Abomination of Desolation." Two big words in one sentence.
We already know that an abomination is something which God hates. W hat
does the word, "Desolation" mean?
Webster's Dictionary : D
esolation
(n.) The act of desolating or laying waste; destruction of inhabitants; depopulation.
(n.) The state of being desolated or laid waste; ruin; solitariness; destitution;
gloominess.
(n.) A place or country wasted and forsaken.
According to the definitions above, we can see that "Desolation" is not
good. We can see that it mainly means destruction. Therefore, there was to
be something being set up, which God hates, and it would eventually lead to
destruction. Presently, believing falsehood causes a spiritual desolation
from the high standards of primitive godliness. The reason that spiritual
desolation happens in those who believe error, is that the belief of the truth,
"Sanctifies and purifies the soul." (John 17:17)
In Matthew 24:15, Messiah also pointed to the book of Daniel, that we may
understand what this "Abomination of Desolation" is. Let us look at a few
verses in the book of Daniel.
Bible was banned and it became law that lay (common people) people
should not read the Bible for themselves. The priests were the only ones
allowed to interpret the scriptures. During this time, error, corruption and
vice grew.
Those who believed and taught the truth had to live in rocks and caverns.
They had to hide out in the mountains. (Research the Waldenses).
Though the Roman Church was in the heights of error, God still mercifully
raised men who were sincere and seeking for truth.
During the Dark Ages, between the years of 538AD and 1798AD, when
Martin Luther, protested against the false doctrines of the Roman church,
which he was a part of, there arose, as a part of this great protestant
movement, a man who started teaching the same thing. This time, they
weren't called Nicolaitans as seen in the Bible, but they were called
Antinomians.
This brings us to another big word.
What is another word to describe that which the Nicolaitans believe?
Antinomianism.
Webster's Dictrionary: Antinomian
(a.) Of or pertaining to the Antinomians; o pposed to the doctrine that the moral law is
obligatory. (n.) One who maintains that, under the gospel dispensation, the moral law
is of no use or obligation, but that faith alone is necessary to salvation. The sect of
Antinomians originated with John Agricola, in Germany, about the year 1535.
In 1535, John Agricola, believed and taught the error, that the Moral Law
was not an obligation for a Christian to perform. Here we see that even
among the protestants, things were not perfect. Martin Luther never taught
the importance of the Sabbath, and the Papal Church recognized that fact,
mocking protestants for it, saying:
"Protestants...accept Sunday rather than Saturday as the day for public worship after
the Catholic Church made the change...But the Protestant mind does not seem to
realize that...In observing the Sunday, they are accepting the authority of the
spokesman for the church, the Pope." (Our Sunday Visitor, February 15, 1950.)
A few years later, in 1798AD, the Papal Roman Church received a “deadly
wound,” when French troops commanded by Napoleon Bonaparte, took
Pope Pius captive, and took him as a prisoner to France, where he died a
year later. From that year, the truth of God's Word was clearer to those who
desired to obey. Knowledge was increased as seen in Daniel 12:4.
Therefore, modern day Nicolaitans, have no excuse for still believing lies.
Though error is still widely popular, the truth is clear and open for the study
of all.
The abomination of the Papacy is all about them casting the truth of God's
Word to the ground. The truth that God's Law is immutable and true
forever. The commandments are truth (Psalm 119:151). The Law is Truth
(Psalm 119:142). So when the truth is cast to the ground in Daniel 8:10,
also seen as the changing of God's Law in blatant blasphemy as seen in
Daniel 7:25, we see that replacing God's truth with a lie is an abomination
as seen in Daniel 11:31 and Proverbs 12:22. David prayed to God asking
Him to remove from him, the way (deeds) of lying, and to graciously reveal
unto him His Law of truth (Psalm 119:29). God hates all lies. God loves the
truth. God's Law is truth and not lies. Therefore, the deeds of the
Nicolaitans can also be described as the "way of lying" (Psalm 119:29).
David continued to pray in other places, desiring truth over lies. In each
place, rather than lies, he preferred the understanding and practice of God's
Law (Psalm 119:104,128). He said: "I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I
love" (Psa 119:163). By him saying that he hates and abhor lying, but loves
God's Law, is it not that he is saying that he loves the truth? John the
disciple of Messiah said, "Whoever says that they know God and keeps not
His Commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in him." (1John 2:4). The
same apostle John, said, that outside of heaven's gates and in the lake of
fire are "Whoever loves and makes lies" (Revelation 21:8,27; 22:15), yet
inside of heaven's gates, are those who "do God's commandments"
(Revelation 22:14), which again confirms that God's Law is the truth. God
hates the deeds of lying and He loves the deeds of truth. What do we love?
We discussed Nicolaitanism. We discussed what an abomination is and
also the definition of Antinomianism. We discussed the meaning of
Desolation. We have a final “big word of caution” to discuss and this is
called:
Mark-of-the-beast-ism. T he Mark of the Beast. What is it?
It is pretty simple when we understand that God does not change. He is the
same yesterday today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)
God gave a solemn warning in Revelation saying:
Revelation 14:9-11 KJV 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a
loud voice, I f any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his
mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 T he 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.
One thing is for sure, based on what we just read, G od really hates the
mark of the beast. He really really really hates it. Most people today get
caught up with all the different sources of information which they read.
They hear of this interpretation and then another. After all of the
information viewed at multiple sources, they may even end up more
confused than they have ever been. What I love about God is this: His
requirements are very simple. Love Him with all your heart, soul, strength,
and love your neighbours as yourself.
You love Him with all of your heart by obedience to the first four
commandments. You love your neighbours as yourself by obedience to the
last six commandments. It is that simple. If you obey these simple
requirements, the mark of the beast would simply be a test and our faith in
Messiah and obedience to Him would be rewarded. We humans are the
culprits who complicate things.
God says to "hate that which is evil and love the good" (Amos 5:15), but we
"love that which is evil and hate the good" (Micah 3:2).
God spoke through Jeremiah saying:
Jeremiah 4:22 KJV For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they
are sottish children, and they have none understanding: t hey are wise to do
evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
And we seem to be comfortable without knowledge. God said in Hosea 4:6,
that His people are "destroyed for a lack of knowledge." When we read
further in the chapter of Hosea 4, we discover that it is all about the
knowledge of His Law.
We learnt before that Messiah loves righteousness and He hates iniquity, in
Hebrews 1:9. The Mark of the Beast therefore, is sin and iniquity. I t is an
abomination to God. The Bible teaches that there is going to come a time,
when the Second Beast of Revelation 13, the USA, under the influence of
modern day Nicolaitans also known as Antinomians, will enforce a Sunday
law, which breaks the 4th Commandment. When Christians, knowing the
truth about the Sabbath, choose to obey this enforced decree, they would
have demonstrated contempt for God's Law. They would have
demonstrated a rejection of God's Kingdom Governing Law. When this is
done, after all clear evidence is given, those who choose to obey the
government’s decrees over God, would receive the mark of the beast. It's all
about righteousness vs unrighteousness. Truth vs Lies. God vs Satan.
A beast represents a kingdom or country. The mark represents the
country's authority to tamper with the requirements of God's Law. That
tampering is blasphemy. When that is done by countries all around the
world, in addition to persecution of those who do not obey their injunctions,
this n
ational abomination would lead to n ational desolation. As it becomes
worldwide, it becomes world wide desolation.
The Beast risen out of the sea in Revelation 13:1-10, says:
The Mark of the Beast is about authority. If you, knowing the truth, obey the
Sunday Decree enforced by the United States’ fallen Churches in union with
the US government, you receive the mark of the authority of the Papal
beast. It is as simple as that.
What happens when a Sunday Law is enforced with a death decree?
Isaiah 24:5-6 KJV 5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;
because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken
the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth,
and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the
earth are burned, and few men left.
Isaiah 24:19-20 KJV 19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean
dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. 20 The earth shall reel to and fro
like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression
thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
In other words, the enforcement of a Sunday Sabbath would become the
abomination that leads desolation. It would force many to accept mass
Nicolaitanism and mass Antinomianism, which at that time would be the
event of Mass-Mark-Of-The-Beast-Ism, which would lead to
Mass-desolation. The Wrath of God without mixture.
What is another way to describe the desolation of the Wrath of God?
Revelation 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous,
seven angels having the s even last plagues; for in them is filled up the
wrath of God.
What exactly are the Seven Last Plagues?
1. Revelation 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.
2. Revelation 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the
sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul
died in the sea.
3. Revelation 16:4-7 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the
rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And I heard
the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and
wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have
shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them
blood to drink; for they are worthy. And I heard another out of the altar
say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy
judgments.
4. Revelation 16:8,9 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the
sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men
were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God,
which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give
him glory.
5. Revelation 16:10,11 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the
seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they
gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven
because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their
deeds.
6. Revelation 16:12-16 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the
great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the
way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw three
unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and
out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false
prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go
forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather
them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come
as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest
he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them
together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
7. Revelation 16:17-21 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into
the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven,
from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and
thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as
was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake,
and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the
cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance
before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of
his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not
found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone
about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of
the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
“These plagues are not universal, or the inhabitants of the earth would be
wholly cut off. Yet they will be the most awful scourges that have ever been
known to mortals. All the judgments upon men, prior to the close of
probation, have been mingled with mercy. The pleading blood of Christ has
shielded the sinner from receiving the full measure of his guilt; but in the
final judgment, wrath is poured out unmixed with mercy.” {GC 628.2}
Eventually:
Matthew 13:41,42 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and t hey
shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do
iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth.
The good news in the drama is that many would choose in principle to
become a part of the movement called, Seventh-Day Adventism.
I am not speaking about a human policy type of religion with offices, and
buildings. I am speaking about the Bible religion of primitive godliness.
Even the SDA hierarchical structure would crumble at that time. Bible
religion would make those who believe, true Seventh-Day Adventists,
because they would keep the Seventh Day Sabbath and be looking joyfully
for the Second Advent of Messiah. That position of hopeful expectation is
what makes one a Seventh-Day Adventist, not having your names on the
SDA church books, but in the Lambs Book of Life.
At the end of the warning concerning the mark of the beast, God pointed to
a group of people who do not receive that mark of the beast:
Revelation 14:12 KJV Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that
keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
He also pointed to those who will enter into heaven saying:
Revelation 22:12-14 KJV 12 A nd, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is
with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 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.
In conclusion, Jude said to all readers:
Jude 1:3-4 KJV 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the
common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you
that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered
unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were
before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the
grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and
our Lord Jesus Christ.
We must contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints
because:
Proverbs 28:4 KJV T hey that forsake the law praise the wicked: b ut such as
keep the law contend with them.
Is the Law of Faith?
Galatians 3:11-12 KJV 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the
sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12 A
nd the law is
not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
Does Faith make the Law void?
Romans 3:31 KJV Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid:
yea, w
e establish the law.
The need for us to have Faith in Jesus the Messiah, establishes the
Everlasting, Unchangeable Nature of the Law of God. It is Holy, Just, Good
Romans 7:12. We cannot in our own strength keep the Law of God. We
need the power of the Messiah living in us.
If we knew that a loved one hates something, would we wilfully do exactly
what that loved one hates? I am guessing that your answer is no. If we
loved that person, wouldn't we do only those things which please that
person? Of course we would. How much do we love God? It's really an
issue of love.
(This is the love of God that he keeps His Commandments - 1John 5:3).
(If you love me, keep my commandments - John 14:15).
(We know that we have the petition which we ask in prayer because we
keep His Commandments and do those things which are pleasing in His
sight - 1John 3:22).
For all who know these truths, God said to us:
Isaiah 58:1 KJV C ry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and
shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
Why should we cry aloud and preach this truth?
Isaiah 30:9,10 LXXE 9 For the people is disobedient, false children, who
would not hear the law of God: 10 w ho say to the prophets, Report not to
us; and to them that see visions, Speak them not to us, but speak and
report to us another error;
God says to us again, through Paul:
2Timothy 4:2-4 KJV 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;
reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 F or the time
will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own
lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And
they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto
fables. (Lies)
2Thessalonians 2:11-12 KJV 11 And for this cause God shall send them
strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 T
hat they all might be
damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
God pleads with us, even offering precious promises if we accept:
Proverbs 1:22-23 WEB 22 “How long, you simple ones, will you love
simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and
fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my
spirit on you. I will make known my words to you."
If we reject His exhortation, this would be His Word to us in our desolation,
when mercy is over:
“In that day, multitudes will desire the shelter of God's mercy which they
have so long despised. “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I
will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord: and they shall wander from sea to sea,
and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the
word of the Lord, and shall not find it.” Amos 8:11, 12.” {GC 629.1}
Proverbs 1:24-32 WEB 24 "Because I have called, and you have refused; I
have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention; 25 but you have
ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof; 26 I also will laugh
at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you, 27 when
calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a
whirlwind, when distress and anguish come on you. 28 Then they will call
on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not
find me, 29 because they hated knowledge, and didn’t choose the fear of
YHWH (GOD). 30 They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my
reproof. 31 Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be
filled with their own schemes. 32 For the backsliding of the simple will kill
them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.
He promises:
Proverbs 1:33 WEB But whoever listens to me will dwell securely, and will
be at ease, without fear of harm.”
Written to the soon to be saints, in hope of the soon return of our Living
Saviour and Master, Jesus the Messiah,

What has the Catholic Church said about the New World Order?
85. “If an authentic economic order is to be established on a
world-wide basis, an end will have to be put to profiteering, to national
ambitions, to the appetite for political supremacy, to militaristic
calculations, and to machinations for the sake of spreading and imposing
ideologies.”
88. “Christians should cooperate willingly and wholeheartedly in
establishing an international order that includes a genuine respect for
all freedoms and amicable brotherhood between all.”

"Should all stores close on Sunday to allow staff a day off to recuperate?"
"Just putting this out there for consideration: Once we kick COVID-19's
butt, I'd suggest that everything be closed on Sunday's again so that we
can appreciate the importance of what taking a pause in our busy lives
really means. I think our body, mind and soul would thank us."

Just as we suspected a number of years ago. Call for a Sunday law to help
'combat climate change'! https://www.markofbeast.net/page3.htm
"Sunday has just become a little less busy in Poland, thanks to a new law
banning most commercial shopping that took effect in March. And
Poland's move, which bucks the prevailing trend in secularized countries
toward an ever-more commercialized Sunday, could provide a
constructive example for the United States, where the network of
state 'blue laws' that once restricted Sunday business activities has been
substantially reduced."
