3.- Blasphemy is to claim the prerogative of God (John 10:33)
a.- “Hence priests are called the parents of Jesus Christ:such is the title that St. Bernard gives them, for they are the active cause by which he is made to exist really in the consecrated Host”. Ibid p. 32
b.- “Thus the priest may, in a certain manner be called the creator of his Creator, since by saying the words of consecration, he creates as it were, Jesus in the sacrament.”Ibid.
c.- “All names which in the Scripture are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that he is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope”. On the Authority of Councils, 1619 ed, book 2 ch. 17
d.- “We hold upon this earth the place of God almighty”. The Great Encyclical Letters of Leo, XIII, p. 304
e.- “Thou art the shepherd, thou art the physician, thou art the director, thou art the husbandman; finally, thou art another god on earth” Christopher Marcellus Oration in the Fifth Lateran Council, Session IV (1512) in Mansi SC, Vol. 32, Col. 761(Latin)
As you can see when one examines the Roman Catholic quotations cited, there can be no question that the papacy has spoken great words against the Most High, blasphemed God, and combined paganism with Christianity.
E.- Makes war with the saints
More people were killed by the papacy during the Dark Ages than by Hitler in World War II:
“That the Church of Rome has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among mankind, will be questioned by no Protestant who has a competent knowledge of history”. History of the Rise and Influence of Rationalism in Europe. Vo. 2 p. 32, W.E. H. Lecky, author.
F.- Think to change the times and the law. I’ll explain this one later on.
G.- To reign for 1260 years
The Papacy had established its power in A.D. 538 when the last of the three powers was subdued. The decree of Justinian making the popes head of the church and corrector of heretics, issued in A.D. 533, took effect in 538, when no power stood in the way of the Pope having full supremacy. Exactly 1260 years later, in 1798, Berthier, the French general under Napoleon invaded the Vatican and took the pope prisoner ending the temporal sovereignty of the Pope. His long reign lasted exactly 1260 years.
IDENTIFICATION MARKS FROM REVELATION
A.- It received its power, seat and great authority from the Dragon
The dragon primarily represents Satan (Revelation 12:9). However, the devil works through various agencies, in this case, pagan Rome. The Roman emperors moved the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinople, thereby leaving the Pope the chief power in the West. They put the power of the Caesars behind in Christianity. Truly Pagan Rome gave the Papacy his power, seat, and great authority.
B.- It received a deadly wound
When Berthier, the French general, took the Pope prisoner in 1798, he inflicted the deadly wound. Many thought the Papacy had come to its end and could never recover. Indeed it had received a deadly wound.
C.- The deadly wound was healed
In 1929 Mussolini once again restored the Vatican to the Pope, making him again a secular as well as a religious ruler. Today the Vatican is recognized by many governments on earth. Even the United States of America sends an ambassador to the Vatican, recognizing the Vatican State as secular as well as religious state. As one observes the developing Papacy today, one sees indeed the whole world wondering after this power.
D.- People worshipped this power
One only has to watch the acts of the obeisance that people pay to the head of the papacy to know that this power is an object of reverence and worship. During his 1260 year reign, few earthly governments dared defy this power. He held the keys to life and death for thousands of individuals.
E.- It spoke great words and blasphemy
F.- It was to reign for 42 months (Same as 1260 years or days )
G.- It made war with the saints
H.- All the world worships it today
Please for the fulfillment of the above four marks of identification, see points D, E and G under Daniel 7.
I.- And of course it has a number that adds up to 666
Notice that Revelation 13:18 does not say the number 666 is written out. Rather it says that to discover the number of the beast, one must count the number of the beast, or add it up. An ancient custom was to use the Roman numeral system on people’s names, adding up the various totals of the letters. That would then be the person’s number. The Bible says the beast has a number, and the numbers add up to 666. One of the official titles of the head of the Roman Church in Latin is VICARIVS FILII DEI, meaning “Vicar of the Son of God”. Please notice below that the numerical value of the letters of his name add up to the Biblical 666:
V- 5 F- 0 D-500
I- 1 I- 1 E- 0
C-100 L-50 I- 1
A- 0 I- 1 -------- 112
R- 0 I- 1 501 53
I- 1 ----- 501
V- 5 53 -----
S- 0 666
------
112
So the Papacy fits the sixth point. As we can see this is the actual 666 is has nothing to do with computer chips or credit cards. The actual fact the it says that some will have the mark in their foreheads or in their hands is simply that they will consciously accept this power decree of false day of worship this will symbolically will receive the mark in their forehead because with your mind you make decisions. Those who will receive it in their hands means that they will not accept what the power is saying but they'll not performed any work on that day establish as the mark of the beast which is Sunday worship. Be advice that the mark has not been established yet. NO ONE HAS THE MARK EVEN THOUGH THEY WORSHIP ON SUNDAY. (SUN DAY DAY OF THE GOD SUN, ESTABLISH BY EGYPTIAN BROUGHT INTO CHRISTIANIRY BY CONSTANTINVE MARCH 7 327 AD.)
