THE PERFECT STORM, page 65
The great kingdoms that have ruled the world were presented to the prophet Daniel as beasts of prey, rising when the “four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.” Daniel 7:2. In Revelation, an angel explained that waters represent “peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.” Revelation 17:15. Winds are a symbol of war and strife. The four winds of heaven striving upon the great sea represent the terrible scenes of conquest and revolution by which kingdoms have attained to power.
After describing the leopard-like composite beast of Revelation 13:1-10, the prophet continues: “I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed....saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” Revelation 13:11-14.
But what is the “image to the beast”? and how is it to be formed? The image is made by the two-horned beast, and is an image to the first, leopard-like beast. This beast with two lamb-like horns also “causeth [commands] 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, 17.
To learn what the image is like, how it is to be formed and how the dreadful “mark” may be required, one must consider the characteristics of the beast. When the early church became corrupted by departing from the simplicity of the gospel, and accepted heathen rites and customs, she lost the Spirit and power of God. Then in order to control the consciences of the people, she sought the support of the secular power. The result was the Papacy, a church that controlled the power of the state, and employed it to further her own ends, especially for the punishment of “heresy.” Get a copy here
NO KING AND NO POPE - [The Perfect Storm, page66]
Whenever and wherever the church has obtained secular power, she has employed it to punish dissent from her doctrines. Protestant churches that have followed in the steps of Rome by forming alliance with worldly powers, have manifested a similar desire to restrict liberty of conscience. An example of this is given in the long-continued persecution of dissenters by the Church of England. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, thousands of non-conformist ministers were forced to leave their churches, and many, both of pastors and people, were subjected to fine, imprisonment, torture, and martyrdom.
The Bible declares that before the coming of the Lord there will exist a state of religious declension similar to that in the early centuries. Said Paul, There shall “come a falling away…and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 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, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4.
So, a great apostasy will corrupt the last-day church. The “man of sin” (Antichrist) will prepare the way for the image to the beast and the mark that will be required of all men and all nations. The Christian exiles and brave settlers who first fled to America from the Old World, sought asylum from royal oppression and priestly intolerance, and they determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty.
The Declaration of Independence sets forth the great truth that “all men are created equal,” and endowed with the inalienable right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” And the Constitution guarantees freedom of religious faith, every man being permitted to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. In time, Republicanism and Protestantism became the fundamental principles of the nation.
These principles would become the secret of America’s power and prosperity. As a result, the oppressed and downtrodden of the world have turned to this land with interest and hope. Millions have sought its shores, and the United States has risen to its place among the most powerful nations of the earth. Get a copy here
