7/29/2019 The Mark of the Beast and the Oath of the Pope

The Mark of The Beast and the Oath of the Pope when he is crowned as:

Vicarius Filii Dei and how it equals 666

The Mark of the Beast is the most serious problem facing the world at thishour. In Isaiah 58:1, we read:

"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people theirtransgression, and the house of Jacob their sins." Isaiah 58: 1.

"And he shall speak great words against the most High. " Daniel 7.25.

"And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things andblasphemies. " Revelation 13:5.

1. God clearly portrays this power as one that is guilty of blasphemy, assumingthe titles and power that belong to God alone.

"I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed againstthem. " Daniel 7.21.

"And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcomethem." Revelation 13:7.

2. In these two verses God has pointed out that this power would persecute thesaints. History reveals that nearly 150 million people have been destroyed as aresult of this organization.

"I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another littlehorn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots."Daniel 7.8.

3. In ascending to power this organization was to destroy three of the ten rulingkingdoms and to rule over the remaining seven. History reveals that this isexactly what the Papacy did. It destroyed the Heruli in A.D. 493, the Vandals in

A.D. 534, and the Ostrogoths in A.D. 538, thus turning the pope into a temporalsovereign.

"And they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing oftime. " Daniel 7.-25.

4. God distinctly declares that this power was to rule with complete supremacyfor a period of 1260 years. Time represents one year; times, plural, representstwo years; and a dividing of times would be half of a year. Add them all

together; this is three and one-half years. Allowing thirty days to a Bible month,with twelve months to a year, we have 360 days in a Bible year. The rule ofprophecy, according to Ezekiel 4:6, is that a day stands for a year, for Godsaid, "I have appointed thee each day for a year. " Adding these all up, wehave 1260 days equaling 1260 years.

The Papacy began its temporal reign in A.D. 538 when it destroyed the thirdlittle horn, and it ended its unbroken supremacy 1260 years later, exactly asGod had predicted, when Berthier, the French general, took the pope prisoner.Thus the Word of God was fulfilled.

Now we come to the most amazing description of all.

God has given to us a number whereby this power can be identified.

"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 threescoreand six. Revelation 13:18.

When the pope is crowned he is given the official title of Vicarius Filii Dei,which means Vicar of the Son of God.

LATIN

V= 5 F= 0 D= 500

I= 1 I= 1 E= 0

C= 100 L= 50 I= 1

A= 0 I= 1

R= 0 I= 1

I= 1

U= 5

S= 0

112 + 53 + 501= 666

Latin, of course, is the official language of the Papacy, and therefore we would expect to find the

Roman numerals adding up his number. It is surprising why so few in this enlightened generationare unaware of the Bible prediction.

One of the most amazing facts is that you can do this in the Latin, in the Hebrew, or in the Greek.

It will all add up to the same-666.

Now we come to the last point of identity, the "mark of the beast"!
