Amén 🙏 I will not take the mark of the beast I'd rather die for Christ and be in heaven eternity of life than taking that Mark no way Jesus Christ with me in heaven Yahweh praise God 👑🇮🇱✝️🙏
Thanks for your question, Jon Smithh. Here's our humble answer... In the book of Revelation, specifically in Revelation 13:16-18, there is a description of a future event where people are forced to receive a mark on their forehead or right hand. The mark of the beast as a symbolical representation of allegiance to a power or system that opposes God's truth and principles. It is seen as a counterpart to the seal of God mentioned in Revelation, which represents loyalty and obedience to God's commandments. The mark of the beast is often associated with themes of worship, economic systems, and spiritual conflict. In the context of Seventh-day Adventist Church, base on the revelation of the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, the Mark of the Beast will be received in the future when the time comes that Sunday Worship will be enforce by means of human and legal law.
Glad you found Elder Ted's message helpful, @HCD1906! Your positive feedback is uplifting. May you continue to find inspiration and clarity in the messages shared. Peace be with you 🕊️.
@samuelburgess7046, in Revelation 13, there is talk of a wounded beast that is healed and regains power, causing the world to marvel. This symbol has different interpretations in Christian beliefs, ranging from historical to future events. Whichever view you hold, seek understanding through prayer and studying the Scriptures with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Remember to honor God in all we do as we await the fulfillment of His promises. - James 1:5.
Thank you, @user-zw7mh6iv8p! We love hearing your appreciation for the gospel and three angels' message. It's a powerful reminder of God's love, justice, and hope in Him. Keep the faith strong with John 3:16.
You're absolutely right; by observing the world around us and studying the Scriptures, we can gain insights into the signs of the times. "But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good," 1 Thessalonians 5:21. May your studies bring you closer to understanding God's plan for us. Stay blessed!
Good word. Especially in these times when the church is being attacked from so many directions. Conferences ordaining female ministers who accept unscriptural lifestyles. SDA members in congress endorsing abortion. We need to pray seek God's wisdom in these situations. Help Lord. God bless. Come quickly Lord Jesus.
Happy Sabbath brothers and sisters. There is a misconception here, the 2nd beast of Rev 13 is not a lamblike beast, it is a beast with lamblike horns. Conflating the two would be an error in my opinion. The beast is still a beast, a ferocious, violent and wild beast like the beasts of Daniel 7, Revelation 11 and 13. The only difference with this 2nd beast of Rev 13 is the horns of it are lamblike, not the beast itself is lamblike, only the horns. I hope this is clear.
@dannyptyltd, your point brings valuable clarity to the discussion around the symbolism in Revelation 13. It’s important to carefully consider the imagery and descriptions given in Scripture to fully grasp their meanings. "Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance," Proverbs 1:5. Thank you for highlighting this distinction.
Anyone in any church can be “legalistic” if they follow God’s law in order to be saved. Only Jesus’ sacrifice makes our salvation possible. But when we’ve been forgiven and saved from sin, we’re very thankful and we love Jesus because He first loved us. Because Jesus said, “if you love Me, keep My commandments”, that’s what we’d do, naturally. And we make the clear distinction between God’s moral law (written in stone with God’s own finger) and Jewish ceremonial law (written by Moses on parchment). God’s moral law never changes (for example, it’s never okay to murder or worship other gods). Matthew 5:17-19 The seventh day Sabbath shows up in the Ten Commandments, not with the ceremonial law.
1. It is listed and identified as a a feast day in Leviticus 23, and therefore ceremonial in nature 2. It was given to the children of Israel, throughout their generations in Exodus chapter 31 (no moral law has such limits placed upon it) 3. Nehemiah lists it as an ordinances with other laws in regard to the temple and sacrifices 4. The prophets Isaiah and Hosea speak of God being weary of Israel’s Sabbaths, of a time when they will cease (moral law is never treated in that manner), and they always include the Sabbath in the context of ceremonial laws (new moons, festivals, animal sacrifices) 5. Jesus clearly speaks of the Sabbath as a ceremonial law in relation to the temple in Matthew 12, He never uses it in a moral context 6. Paul speaks of the Sabbath as a ceremonial law which was a shadow that pointed to Christ. 7. The Jews themselves recognize that the Sabbath is a ritual law, the only one in the Decalogue
We agree with the sentiment that following God's law should not be done in an attempt to earn salvation. It is through Jesus' sacrifice and grace that our salvation is made possible. Salvation comes as a gift from God, not as a result of our own efforts or adherence to the law. There is indeed a distinction between God's moral law, summarized in the Ten Commandments, and the ceremonial laws given to the Israelites for specific purposes during the Old Testament times. The moral law-the Ten Commandments-contains timeless principles that reflect God's character and are still applicable today. The seventh-day Sabbath, as given in the fourth commandment, is a part of the moral law. Adventists believe that the Sabbath is a special sign of God's covenant relationship with His people and a day for rest, worship, and communion with Him. It is a distinctive element of Adventist belief, emphasizing the continued relevance of God's moral law. Thanks for your comment. May God bless you more!
@@jonsmith8116 Sorry, I know you are not asking me, but here’s one verse: “I am the Lord your God: Walk in My statutes, keep My judgments, and do them; hallow My Sabbaths, and they will be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.” Ezekiel 20:19-20
@@jonsmith8116 It’s very easy to confuse Jewish feast days (also called sabbaths) with the Seventh Day Sabbath. These feast days were pointing forward to the Messiah (shadow of things to come). The 7th day Sabbath was established at Creation, before Jews/Hebrews/Israelites existed, and before the fall into sin, so it’s not related to any of that. Exodus 16:28 shows that God was reminding the Israelites (before the 10 Commandments were given), not telling them for the first time. In Isaiah 66:22-23 God speaking first person through the prophet tells us that in the new earth, “all flesh” (not just Jews) will gather to worship Him on the Sabbath. This is between humans and our Creator forever.
@ErichsvonMansteinn, your perspective on the influence and legacy of the Roman Empire, including its relationship to Western civilization and potentially the United States, adds depth to our understanding of historical and prophetic interpretations. It’s a reminder of how history and prophecy can intertwine, inviting us to look deeper into both.
1. His Number - 666 Latin...VICARIUS FILII DEI. Satan's greatest creation to this date. Roman Catholic Church. 2.His Name - Cain... He will come in the name Jesus, seeing the world knows him by this false name, not even 500 yrs old. 1 John 3:12. Revelation 17:9-11. Our Creator came in the Hebrew name YAHOSHEA יהושע ( YESHUAH ישוע) Aramaic. John 5:43. 3. His Mark- Two crossed sticks. The last letter in the Hebrew alphabet is the Taw. ת Its symbol is two crossed sticks. Its meaning is a Mark, a Covenant. See Roman Catholic Church... they put the Mark, the Cross on their forehead... a sign of things to come. Genesis 4:15. Exodus 20:4. Deuteronomy 5:8-9. Revelation 13:15-18,14:9-11.

It's not the gospel
Thanks for expressing your thoughts, Jon Smith. Please, elaborate to our friend your sentiment in a respectful way.
May God bless you more.
It would be a honor to die for my savior jesus
'twill be the great trial for us....but
🎵 God will take care of you🎵
The simplicity of the gospel has nothing to do with being obsessed with Saturday worship. Nothing. The simplicity of the gospel is faith in Christ.
Happy day
Happy Sabbath. It's clear, sign of the times, just look around you and investigate together with the scriptures.
You're absolutely right; by observing the world around us and studying the Scriptures, we can gain insights into the signs of the times.

One size fits all? Quite a dangerous view, really. There are times abortion may be legitimate
