The Image Of The Beast
We have restored on the WLC website, in the Scriptures quoted the Names of the Father and Son, as they were originally written by the inspired authors of the Bible. Click here to download the Restored Names Version (RNV) of Scripture. The RNV is a non-WLC resource. -WLC Team |
SPECIAL NOTE: Throughout our content, the term[s] “Sunday law”, or change “from Saturday to Sunday”, “Sabbath to Sunday”, “change the 4th commandment” or “change times and laws”, point directly to the already completed “image to the beast” as detailed in this eCourse.
Before you go through this eCourse lesson, kindly study and keep in perspective, the NEWLY REVEALED LIGHT PUBLISHED IN THIS LINK: https://www.worldslastchance.com/end-time-prophecy/image-to-the-beast-already-made.html
The leopard-like beast, the lamb-like beast, and the image of the beast are three powers described as symbols in Revelation, chapter 13. The lesson we are about to study focuses on dramatic events in the political and religious world.
The Lamb-Like Beast
1. Who represents the leopard-like 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. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” Revelation 13:1-2.
2. As the first beast [Papacy] was being led away into captivity, what did John see?
“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.” Revelation 13:11.
There are very clear identification marks associated with the second beast and by these we can be sure as to who the power is:
-
It rises to power when the Papacy receives a deadly wound.
-
This power rises out of the earth, an area that is the opposite to the sea, from which the first beast arises. [Sea or waters represent peoples and nations. When troubled, they represent strife and warfare.]
-
It rises silently, like a plant growing out of the earth. This is the meaning of the Greek word 'anabaino' translated 'coming up'.
-
It is lamb-like. This means that it is youthful, innocent, harmless and gentle.
-
It has two symbols of power (horns) that are lamblike. Yahushua is represented as the Lamb of Yahuwah.
-
It ultimately possesses world-wide influence.
-
After the healing of the deadly wound, it enforces papal policy.
-
It promotes the formation of 'the image to the beast'.
-
It enforces obedience to 'the image to the beast.'
-
The form of enforcement is characterized by a particular mark, 'the mark of the beast'. The only power that fulfills ([or will fulfill] these points is the United States of America. (Condensed from Cooke, When Religious Persecution Returns, page 3.)
SPECIAL NOTE:
The formation of ‘the image to the beast’ has been completed with the establishment of the International Date Line [IDL] and enforcement of the Gregorian calendar by the USA as civil calendar for all international treaties with the USA. All countries in the world have adopted this. BTW, the last country to adopt it was Saudi Arabia at the end of 2016. WOW! Kindly see details in this link: https://www.worldslastchance.c
The establishment of the image to the beast is outlined in Rev.13 as a 2-step process:
First step is spelled out in verse 14: 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."
This first step was fulfilled by USA calling for adoption of the International Date Line, and enforcement of Gregorian dates in all treaties entered with the USA by any country.
Verse 14 is completely fulfilled already.
Now to the second step of this process outlined in verse 15: "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
How will the US 'give life' to the image of the beast? And how will the image of the beast speak so that those who do not worship the image will be killed?
The fulfillment of this second step will be when [again] the US will lead the world in exalting Gregorian Sunday as a world-wide day of rest/worship. This step could not be taken without first enforcing on the whole world the use of the Gregorian calendar. The Gregorian calendar needed the IDL to function everywhere. This was done. Then it needed its use to be enforced everywhere. This was also done by the USA. So now we are awaiting the second step which we believe will take place during the 1st Woe.
Very soon, we think right after 1st Woe, the pope will force the whole world to exalt Sunday, which is the mark of authority of the Papacy / Roman Catholic Church. Having succeeded in getting the world to adopt its Gregorian calendar, the RCC will again successfully compel the world [via US] to honor its Sunday.

What is Yahuwah’s True Original Calendar?
The scriptures which point us to Yahuwah’s calendar are listed in the link - http://www.worldslastchance.
Yahuwah’s true Sabbath is not a named day, it is a NUMBERED day in His calendar and observed from dawn to dusk when it arrives where you are. It can be identified ONLY by using His true, original Luni-solar calendar established at creation.
There is an explanation of the Luni-solar calendar along with printable pages without dates [which you can fill in] available at - http://www.
WLC Calenar Apps: https://www.worldslastchance.com/wlc-free-apps.html
Type in your MAP LOCATION [your City or State and country] click enter, then click the calendar at the top of the page. You can freely use it online, download or print all the dates you need. Go to 'Learn' and study all topics in the Table of Contents. It is best that you observe the moon over a period of time while using this guide to become familiar with the different phases of the lunation cycle.

A Persecuting Power
3. Who could enforce this image of the beast?
Answer: We can see that the image would be enforced by a protestant religious ecclesiastical power united with the civil power of the state to force obedience to the rules and commands of the church, just like it previously was the norm with Papal Roman Catholicism.
"The image is made to the first or leopard-like beast, which is the one brought to view in the third angel's message. By this first beast is represented the Roman church, an ecclesiastical body clothed with civil power, having authority to punish all dissenters.
The protestant churches waive their differences in doctrinal beliefs and unite with the Catholic Church upon the same common points of faith and shall call upon and influence the civil authorities to enforce their rules and commands.

4. What must occur before any of the protestant churches can fully unite with the Roman Catholic Church?
Answer: So before any of the protestant churches can fully unite with Roman Catholicism they must first refuse to obey Yahuwah's light and truths and choose apostasy and Satan's darkness instead. And the greater the light they reject, the greater the apostasy and darkness that will occur. And the greater the apostasy, the more closely will that church resemble Rome.
5. What are some of the names of the protestant churches?
Answer:
--Seventh-day Adventist
--Episcopal
--Presbyterian
--Lutheran
--Nazarene
--Methodist
--Pentecostal
--Baptist and etc.

6. Of all these different protestant churches which we named, have all of them rejected the light of Heaven and Yahuwah's truth to choose darkness and apostasy instead?
Answer: Yes.
Great Wonders
7. How does the second beast [Protestant America] resemble the first [Papacy or Roman Catholic Church]?
“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.” Revelation 13:12.
Here is a striking figure of the rise and growth of the United States of America. And the lamb-like horns, emblems of innocence and gentleness, well represent the character of its government, as expressed in its two fundamental principles, Republicanism and Protestantism. The Christian exiles who first fled to America, sought an asylum from royal oppression and priestly intolerance, and they determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty. Millions from other lands have sought its shores, and the United States has risen to a place among the most powerful nations of the earth.
8. What means will be used to induce people to worship the first beast [Papacy or Roman Catholic Church]?
“And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.” Revelation 13:13.
9. What is the purpose of these wonders and miracles?
“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; 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.” “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause Yahuwah shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.” “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.” Revelation 13:14. Compare 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 & Revelation 16:13-14.
Receiving The Mark
10. How will the worship of the beast and its image be enforced?
“And he causeth 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.
Special Note: ‘The change in the fourth commandment’ is far greater than just the change from ‘S-turday to S-nday’, but involves the change of the whole calendar and establishment of the International Date Line as explained earlier in this lesson.
11. What threat will hang over those who refuse to conform to these laws?
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15.
Answer: Death decree.
12. What is the crowning act of this image beast power?
Special Note: ‘changed the Sabbath to S-nday’ is far greater than just the change of the day, but involves the change of the whole calendar and establishment of the International Date Line [IDL] as explained earlier in this lesson.
13. What is Satan not permitted to counterfeit?
Answer: Satan is not permitted to counterfeit the manner of Yahushua’s advent.
The Law And The Testimony
14. Who only will not be deceived?
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24:24.
“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause Yahuwah shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10, 11.
15. What two texts should keep us from falling into these deceptions?
“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20.
“And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.” John 14:29.
Is it your heart desire to follow Yahuwah regardless of any and all human pressure to follow another master?
As you prayerfully study these crucial end time matters, kindly also consider this practical step in your preparation to counter the coming mark of the beast: https://www.worldslastchance.com/end-time-prophecy/free-bitcoin.html
