| | Since I don't want you to fall for the mark of the beast that's coming in some number of years (I think 2027, from Feast of Jublilee tallies, will mark 6,000 years since creation, according to some calculation(s)?), it's important to understand exactly what that mark is. First off, what is the first beast of Revelation 13? None other than Papal Rome, which ruled supreme for a prophetic time, times, and half a time that equals 1,260 prophetic days. (Rev. 12:6, 14) Of course, a prophetic day means a literal year (Ezek. 4:6), so 1,260 literal years. The Code of Justinian in 538 A.D. gave Papal Rome its supreme power that lasted until 1798, when Louis-Alexandre Berthier, by the order of [[Napoleon Bonaparte]], seized the pope captive. | | Since I don't want you to fall for the mark of the beast that's coming in some number of years (I think 2027, from Feast of Jublilee tallies, will mark 6,000 years since creation, according to some calculation(s)?), it's important to understand exactly what that mark is.

| − | The second beast of Revelation is none other than the United States of America. So how do we know that the end is nigh? Remember that the second beast is describe as a theocracy (Rev. 13:15); a beast is a kingdom (Dan. 7), a ''civil'' power; when a civil government decrees religious worship, it becomes a theocracy. Which group here in the U.S. is clamoring for a theocracy? None other than the Christian Nationalists, whose end agenda will be a Sunday Law demanding the nation worship the day of the sun rather than the biblical seventh-day Sabbath. (there is no Bible verse substantiating Sunday observance; this is a complex subject to dive into separately, however) | + | The second beast of Revelation is none other than the United States of America.
