not be quenched.

[am] the LORD your God.

and how thou canst not bear them which are evil:
and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles,
and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast
borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake
hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I
have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left
thy first love.
9. REVELATION 2:20

and their faces toward the east; and they
worshipped the sun toward the east.

and that cry for all the abominations that be
done in the midst thereof.

mount, and the two tables of the testimony [were]
in his hand: the tables [were] written on both

work of God, and the writing [was] the writing
of God, graven upon the tables.

High,…and think to change times and laws.
24. HOW DARE HIM [BEAST] CHANGE
GOD’S TIMES AND LAW?
Does the Roman Catholic church claim to change
God’s Law?
- September 1, 1923, the catholic record: “Sunday is
our mark of authority” “The church is above the
bible; and this transference is proof of that fact.”
- Translated from Lucius Ferraris, prompta
bibliotheca (ready library), “ papa,” art. 2.
“The pope is of so great authority and power that he
can modify, explain, or interpret even divine
laws...the pope can modify law, since his power is
not of man, but of God, and he acts as vicegerent
[deputy/magistrate with delegated power] of God
upon earth.”
25. Catechism of the council of Trent (Donovan's
translation, 1867), part 3, chap. 4, p. 345
“It pleased the church of God, that the religious
celebration of the Sabbath day should be transferred
to ‘the lord’s day.”
-Council of Trent: McHugh and Callan Translation
(1937 ed.), p. 402. “Question. How prove you that
the church hath power to command feasts and
holydays? “Answer. By the very act of changing
the Sabbath into Sunday, which protestants allow
of; and therefore they fondly contradict
themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly, and
breaking most other feasts commanded by the
same church.”
26. A Doctrinal Catechism (3d ed.), p. 174.
“Question. Have you any other way of proving that
the church has power to institute festivals of
precepts?
“Answer. had she not such power, she could not
have done that in which all modern religionists
agree with her; -- she could not have substituted
the observance of Sunday the first day of the
week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh
day, a change for which there is no scriptural
authority.”
27. The converts catechism of the catholic
doctrine (1946 ed.), p. 50.
“Question. Which is the Sabbath day?
“Answer. Saturday is the Sabbath day.
“Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead
of Saturday?
“Answer. We observe Sunday instead of
Saturday because the catholic church
transferred the solemnity from Saturday to
Sunday.”
28. WHO’LL MAKE AN IMAGE OF/TO THE
BEAST?
The Second beast [land beast] or America [USA]
What does an image to the beast mean?
What is this image expected to do?
7. The church controls or dictates to the state and
advices her to enforce her demands.
8. It will enforce the mark of the beast.
29. 1. The forehead [frontlet] mind…believes the
beast is right.
2. Right hand: Carries out the work of the beast
ECCLESIASTES 9:10
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it]
with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor
device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the
grave, whither thou goest.

31. A CLOSER LOOK: ISRAEL
EXODUS 31:16
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the
sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their
generations, [for] a perpetual covenant. It [is] a
sign between me and the children of Israel for ever:
for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth,
and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
EXODUS 19:8
And all the people answered together, and said, All
that the LORD hath spoken we will do….
Read the book of EZEKIEL
32. LUKE 16:10
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful
also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is
unjust also in much.

and livelihood, what makes you think you will be
willing to loose your life for JESUS CHRIST?
