Sunday is the solution

The Solution

And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils…It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the SUNDAY sabbath; that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until SUNDAY observance shall be strictly enforced…”

-- Great Controversy, p.590

What is the

Mark of the Beast?

To understand what is the "mark", you need to identify first who is the "beast"?

The Mark of the beast is either literal or symbolic.

Mark of

the Beast

Who is the beast?

3 Clues

Who is the beast?

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Revelation 13:1

What is a beast in Bible Prophecy?

Beast

"Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth..."

Daniel 7:23

Sea

And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Revelation 17:15

The sea (body of waters) = nations, peoples, multitudes of people

What does blasphemy mean in Bible prophecy?

Blasphemy

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Revelation 2:9

Blasphemy in the Bible is to claim to be holy but in reality you are not. There are two clear examples in the gospels.

Claim to forgive sins...but can't

Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?

Mark 2:7

Mark 2:7

Explanation: The scribes claimed blasphemy on Jesus because of His claim to forgive sins which only God can do. Someone didn't know He was God eh!

The Catholic Papal System fits this description

It is widely known that the Papal Catholic System practices forgiving of sins

A claim to be God

The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”

John 10:33

Mark 10:33

Explanation: Notice here that the Jews claimed blasphemy because Jesus was only a man and claimed to be holy...the Holy God. (Which of course He actually is!)

The Catholic Papal System fits the description

The pope declared to be the Vicar of Christ which means "In place of Christ on earth". That is blasphemy!

Puzzle: Based on the previous subsections - What country (kingdom) in the world today, makes blasphemous claims, to be holy, a claim to forgive sins and a claim to be God? This same country (kingdom) emerged out of an already populated place (multitudes of people)?

There is one country in the world that fits all the descriptions of Revelation 13.

The Papacy?

Time of Trouble

The Latter

Rain Power

The Latter Rain

OVERVIEW

Jesus said in the last days there would be divine power given to God's people.

This divine power is known as the Latter Rain

It is also known as the final seal for God's people.

Literal Rain

The Latter Rain is the name of a particular 'rain' that was important for agriculture in the Old Testament.

That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

Deuteronomy 11:14

Power

But, the future latter rain has a Spiritual meaning...

Spiritual Rain

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

James 5:7

Spiritual Rain

Latter Rain

The Sealing of God's People

The Sealing

And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree

Revelation 7:1

Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Revelation 7:3

The Holy Spirit is

the Sealing Agent

What is the seal?

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Ephesians 4:30

Notice, the Holy Spirit ALWAYS brings the Truth to people to believe. (Ephesians 1:13)

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

John 16:13

But wait...there's more...

The Holy Spirit seals as you believe

The Truth Over Time

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Ephesians 1:13

Settling into Truth

The Sealing

Just as soon as the people of God are sealed in their foreheads—it is not any seal or mark that can be seen, but a settling into the truth, both intellectually and spiritually, so they cannot be moved—just as soon as God's people are sealed and prepared for the shaking, it will come. Indeed, it has begun already; the judgments of God are now upon the land, to give us warning, that we may know what is coming.

SDA Bible Commentary 4:1161.

The special truth for the final crisis

Remember, in Revelation 7:1 there was a group of people who were sealed in their foreheads.

The Truth at the end of Time

This same group is found in Revelation 14. The seal is also called The Father's name.

The Father's character

The Father's name is indicative of His Character. This is the way Hebrew names were attributed in the Bible - the name of the person, indicated their character.

What is the Father's name?

The character of God is best found in His immutable law. The moral law reflects the Father's character.

At the heart of the Father's law/character, is the sign or seal of God. Notice Ezekiel 20:12

The Final Seal

Just before the 7 last plagues fall, God's people will be sealed, by the Holy Spirit, through the final truth of the Sabbath.

The Sabbath truth contains the name, title and territory of God. Similiar to how the president of the USA has a seal.

The Final Seal

When is the

final sealing?

Early Writings, p. 59, Ellen White

When is the final Sealing?

Notice - the Latter Rain will take place at the start of the 'Little time of trouble'. However, Ellen White does state, no specific time is revealed. (See below)

This is similar to us knowing the 'season' of Jesus' coming but not the exact day or hour.

How to prepare for the Latter Rain
