The image of the beast will be a State-Church union of America with Protestantism and Evangelicalism. Both entities will make concessions. The State will allow the Church to keep it's 501 C 3 tax exemption. The Church will soften it's stance on Homosexuality (already happening im abundance). This Image will be a copy of the Civil - Religious power that the Catholic Church has. Much of Protestantism and Evangelicalism share the same doctrines as the Catholic Church (Mystery Babylon) and this will unite them (already happening in droves). True believers in Jehovah and Jehoshua Messiah will be persecuted by the Civil-Religious union of America and Protestantism/Evangelicalism as well as by Papal Rome. The Protestants/Evangelicals and Catholics who do the persecuting will, think they are doing God's service but they will actually be a tool of Satan in bringing harm to the Remnant assembly of believers in these very last days.
Most Christian celebrity preachers/pastors will go along with the Antimessiah and False Prophet's plans for a worldwide New World Order. TBN will play a big part in this last days delusion as they are home to many false prophets. Rick Warren, Greg Laurie, Joel Osteen, Franklin Graham and Brian Broderson will be some of the false prophets Jehoshua warned us about in Matthew 24. Many popular worship bands will also play a part in this Apostasy of the Church (already happening) as they will hypnotize people with worldly type beats and lyrics that will have a veneer of worshipping the True and Living Elohim but will actually be giving homage to the Antimessiah and ultimately Lucifer.
The mark of the beast has to do with how and who we worship. The Sabbath will play a big part in this as the Papacy as well as many Protestants/Evangelicals and the World Meeting of Families are pushing for a National Sunday Law that will allow non religious folk to have a family rest day and religious folk to partake of their religious services without having to work. This Sunday observance will be an homage to the Papacy and the Catholic Church who changed the solemnity of the Sabbath to the so called "Lord's day" (Sunday). Just as the seal of the Living Elohim is spiritual, so will the Mark of the Beast be (spiritual). Part of the Mark of the Beast also has to do with what God we worship. Do we worship the god of Mystery Babylon (Sun worship in it's various forms, basically all false religions as daughters of the Great Whore- Roman Catholicism) or do we worship the True Living God Jehovah and His Son Jehoshua Messiah? Who and how we worship will ultimately determine if we receive the seal of the True and Living Elohim or the Mark of the Beast!
Revelation 13 (KJV)
1 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.
2 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.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 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.
12 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.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 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.
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.
16 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:
17 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.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
