The definition for image is to have a replica, a
copy or a seal. It is no different in this situation.
What three identifying marks does the Seal of the
U.S. Government possess? A) Name - Donald Trump B) Title - President and C) Territory over which he
resides – the United States of America.
This entity has sought to copy the image or sign of
God; however, it has created a false image, for its followers.
What is God’s image? The answer is found in Exodus
20:8-11; God’s seal reads thus: A) Name – Lord God; B) Title – Creator and C) Territory
over which He resides – Heaven and earth, the sea and all that dwells
therein. God’s image is the 7th-day
Sabbath.
It was predicted in Daniel
7:25 – “He shall speak pompous words against the Most High... And shall
intend to change times and law.” The beast
has intended to change the day of worship, from the 7th day,
Saturday to Sunday, the first day of the week; also, instead of worshipping
from sunset to sunset, which is how God reckoned time - to midnight to midnight.
The beast’s image is Sunday worship.
Next week, we will look at its origin and elaborate this, a
little bit more.
