How is Sunday worship linked to 666?
“Here is wisdom. Let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. And his number is six hundred sixty-six.” – Revelation 13:18
History shows that Babylonian priests used amulets to represent the cosmos. One of the most prominent amulets was connected to the sun god. On the front of the amulet, we could see the image of the sun above the Babylonian lion.
On the back there was something known in numerology as the “magic square of the Sun,” which had six boxes horizontally and vertically, each box containing a number. When adding the results of the six boxes, we end up with the number 666.
It is interesting that the Roman Catholic Church venerates the day of the sun (Sunday) and claims that this is its mark of authority. In addition, many popes have used the title “Pontifex Maximus”, which in Latin means “supreme pagan priest,” a title given to the highest-ranking priests in Babylon. In conclusion, the number 666 is rooted in sun worship, and the Church has a history of pagan origin.
Which power will enforce the Mark of the Beast?
The Bible tells us which power will implement the mark of the beast, primarily in the book of Daniel, chapter 7:
Daniel 7:25 “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”
The Roman Catholic Church fits this description. This power is the same one that admits to having changed the solemnity of the Sabbath to Sunday:
“Sunday is our mark of authority… The (Catholic) Church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.” — Catholic Record, September 1, 1923, London
The Roman Catholic Church also removed the second commandment (not making graven images) in the official catechism. With these two characteristics, it fits perfectly with the verse in Daniel 7 that says: “and think to change times and laws.”

If there is a Mark of the Beast, there is a Mark of God
Since the Bible warns us about a mark of authority of the beast; it also tells us what the mark of authority of the living God is.
Genesis 2:3 And God blessed the Seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which He had done in creation.
This work, carried out in the FIRST WEEK of the world’s creation, has become a memorial that points us to the history of CREATION, and therefore points us to the CREATOR. Let’s see what the Bible tells us about this:
Exodus 31:17 (The Sabbath) is a SIGN forever between Me and the children of Israel; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He ceased and rested.
The Sabbath is a PERMANENT SIGN that shows us who the Creator is.
Have the Ten Commandments been abolished?
Perhaps one of Satan’s greatest lies was making the Christian world believe that the Ten Commandments have been abolished. This idea is completely ruled out, since our own Savior told us:
“For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled..” — Matthew 5:18
How will the Mark of the Beast be enforced?
The Bible tells us that the mark of the beast will have a primary factor: commerce.
“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 13:17)
Those who choose to stand firm with God and keep His holy Sabbath will be penalized and will have their ability to buy and sell taken away.
We currently live in a digital age in which we are getting closer and closer to conducting business only through bank transfers, credit cards, and other digital methods, while cash is disappearing.
With only digital means of commerce, it eventually becomes much easier for authorities to freeze bank accounts, leaving people without the ability to trade, especially if we reach a cashless society.

Earth's FINAL warning
“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and RECEIVE his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb’” — (Revelation 14:9–10)
As part of the messages of the three angels in Revelation chapter 14, we are shown that the final message is a WARNING not to receive the mark of the beast. Those who receive it will take part in and experience the wrath of God upon them, which is manifested in the seven last plagues.
“And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.” — (Revelation 15:1)
The Great Controversy.
“When Sunday observance shall be enforced by law, and the world shall be enlightened concerning the obligation of the true Sabbath, then whoever shall transgress the command of God, to obey a precept which has no higher authority than that of Rome, will thereby honor popery above God. He is worshiping the beast and his image.”

Total Onslaught Series
From the archaeological and historical evidence that demonstrates the Bible is a reliable and true document, to the most relevant end-time prophecies, the “Total Onslaught” series teaches us the methods of deception and assault used by Satan against Christ, and how the final events of this world will unfold.
