How to Avoid the Mark of the Beast

How then can I avoid receiving the mark of the beast?
This is the most important question. God, in His infinite love, has warned us not to worship the beast and thereby receive his mark. Those receiving the mark of the beast "shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture {without mercy} into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone...who worship the beast {honour papacy through Sunday observance} and his image {USA enforcing Sunday observance}, and whosever receiveth the mark of his name" Rev. 14:10-11.

These are very solemn words from God. His wrath is in proportion to the offense. By honouring, Sunday, originated by Satan through the papacy, you are preparing to receive the mark of the beast. Satan wants to deceive as many as he can into honouring this counterfeit day. To perfect his deception, he chose Sunday, the day of Christ's resurrection knowing that most people would believe that Sunday observance is more appropriate than Saturday, since it honours the resurrection of Christ. But the only way not to receive the mark of the beast is to refuse honouring a day that was not chosen of God. The only day which God has ordained as holy is Saturday Sabbath and by honouring it you will receive the "the seal of the living God" Rev. 7:2.

If you want to honour the death and resurrection of Christ, the Bible distinctly says you do so by baptism (total immersion). See Romans 6:3-5. By entering into the water (being buried) you acknowledge His death. By coming out of the water (arising) you acknowledge His resurrection.

What about the billions of Christians in the past who honoured Sunday instead of Saturday - did they unknowingly receive the mark of the beast? And what about the Christians today who sincerely think Sunday is the Bible Sabbath?

Most Christians of past generations observed Sunday, thinking they were keeping the Bible Sabbath; and today there are true Christians in every church, including the Roman Catholic Church, who believe that Sunday is the Lord's Day. None are accountable for their errors since the light has not been brought to them. For the Lord "winks" at our times of ignorance. See Acts 17:30. We are only judged by the light we had the opportunity to receive. But, when the universal Sunday law is enforced, the issue will be clear before all, and then whoever shall transgress the command of God, to obey a precept which has no higher authority than that of Rome will receive the mark of the beast.

Soon, each person will face this test with eternal stakes, to keep the commandments of God or the papacy.

Where will you stand?
