Image Of The Beast In America? 🇺🇸🇻🇦

Donald J. Trump and JD Vance being elected for the next President and Vice President for the United States of America is no coincidence. We are already seeing moves heading in a very specific religious direction, and Trump hasn’t even entered into office yet. How does this tie in to the image of the beast? The first beast [the Papacy] has two main characteristics of which we will examine. Since the image to the Papacy must be an image or exact replica of it, we must study the characteristics of the first beast, to get a clear, accurate understanding of the image:—

Revelation 17:3 says, “..I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast,..”

1. That the Papacy is a church (woman, 2 Cor. 11:2; Jeremiah 6:2) combined/bonded and controlling (sitting upon) a nation (beast, Daniel 7:23). 

2. That this union clothes the church with civil power, so that the nation enforces her laws and sustains her institutions.

This union is what permitted the Papacy to punish the true people of God in ages past. The Romish church was combined with the state, but it had power over the state. The church must rule the state. If the Vatican was only a church without civil power, they could not punish and coerce the consciences of men and women by law. And, if the Vatican was just a civil ruling power without being a church to enforce decrees, traditions, and canons, it would simply be a secular power. Both characteristics are essential to the beast power of the papacy. The image of the beast must have these two characteristics.

“For professing faith contrary to the teachings of the Church of Rome, history records the martyrdom of more then (100 Million) one hundred million people. A million Waldenses and Albigenses [Swiss and French Protestants] perished during a crusade proclaimed by Pope Innocent III in 1208. Beginning from the establishment of the Jesuits in 1540 to 1580, nine hundred thousand were destroyed. One hundred and fifty thousand perished by the Inquisition in thirty years. Within the space of thirty-eight years after the edict of Charles V against the Protestants, fifty thousand persons were hanged, beheaded, or burned alive for heresy. Eighteen thousand more perished during the administration of the Duke of Alva in five and a half years.”–Brief Bible Readings, p. 16.

Revelation 13:13-15 says, “And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men [false miracles, spiritualism], 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; [satanic false miracles deceive the people into making the image] saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they [the people, U.S. citizens] should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 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.”

“When the Protestant churches shall unite with the secular power to sustain a false religion, for opposing which their ancestors endured the fiercest persecution; when the state shall use its power to enforce the decrees and sustain the institutions of the church—then will Protestant America have formed an image to the papacy, and there will be a national apostasy which will end only in national ruin. – The Signs of the Times, March 22, 1910

“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 image to the beast represents another religious body clothed with similar power. The formation of this image is the work of that beast whose peaceful rise and mild professions render it so striking a symbol of the United States. Here is to be found an image of the papacy. When the churches of our land, uniting upon such points of faith as are held by them in common, shall influence the State to enforce their decrees and sustain their institutions, then will Protestant America have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy. Then the true church will be assailed by persecution, as were God’s ancient people.” 4SP 278.1

“The essential characteristics of the beast as before shown, are church and state, or religious dogmas enforced under penalties by civil authority. No government or church could or would become a persecutor of the people of God without these essentials. So the papacy, the power symbolized by the leopard beast, enforced her decrees by civil authority, and for refusing to obey many were put to death. An image to the Papal beast need not necessarily clothe with civil authority the decrees of one church, but it must combine these two essentials, religious dogmas enforced by law.” – The Present Truth, December 19, 1885, pg. 317

“Saying to them that dwell on the earth, that “they should make an image to the beast.” Here is clearly presented a form of government in which the legislative power rests with the people, a most striking evidence that the United States is the nation denoted in the prophecy. But what is the “image to the beast”? and how is it to be formed? The image is made by the two-horned beast, and is an image to the first beast. It is also called an image of the beast. Then to learn what the image is like and how it is to be formed we must study the characteristics of the beast itself—the papacy. When the early church became corrupted by departing from the simplicity of the gospel and accepting heathen rites and customs, she lost the Spirit and power of God; and in order to control the consciences of the people, she sought the support of the secular power. The result was the papacy, a church that controlled the power of the state and employed it to further her own ends, especially for the punishment of “heresy.” In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends.” – GC 442.3, 443.1,2 

“The acts ascribed to this power are mostly future. He exerciseth all the power of the first beast, before him, that is, in his presence, as the original word signifies; showing that these two powers, the papal beast, and the two-horned American, protestant beast, are contemporary. This power is to be a wonder-working power, to be accomplished as we understand through the agency of Spiritualism, the wonders to be wrought for the express purpose of deceiving the people preparatory to the erection of the image. The image is to be an image to the papal beast. That was a church clothed with civil power. An image to it would be something resembling it. Must we not understand therefore that the image will be the church of this country, the protestant church, clothed with power to punish heretics, and enforce its dogmas on pain of death.”  [ARSH November 11, 1862, page 188.11]

“A time is coming when the law of God is, in a special sense, to be made void in our land. The rulers of our nation will, by legislative enactments, enforce the Sunday law, and thus God’s people be brought into great peril. When our nation, in its legislative councils, shall enact laws to bind the consciences of men in regard to their religious privileges, enforcing Sunday observance, and bringing oppressive power to bear against those who keep the seventh-day Sabbath, the law of God will, to all intents and purposes, be made void in our land; and national apostasy will be followed by national ruin” – The Review and Herald, December 18, 1888

“The world and the church are married. The ruling powers of earth have taken it upon themselves to compel the conscience of God’s people who keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus. They will seek by force to make them yield obedience to and worship the image of the beast, in keeping the spurious Sabbath, the child of papacy. But this final act of apostasy will bring upon the world and the church of doom of which the prophet writes, “In one hour she is made desolate. Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. With what pride Satan looks upon the world whom we numbers as his subjects. With the union of church and state, he is ruler as far as it is possible for him to being the world. The great rebel who originated rebellion in heaven, is worshiped and the church rules the state, and a corrupt harmony exists, satanic in its principles and workings, and superhuman power is manifested by the whole confederacy of evil. But his rebellion has an end; for the wicked are consumed by the brightness of his coming whose right it is to rule.”  8LtMs, Ms 104, 1893, par. 19, 20

“The two-horned beast was to make “an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword and did live,” [Revelation 13:14,] therefore it is to be, when made, an image of the Papal beast. In order for it to be an image of that beast, it must resemble it, in many respects at least. That beast was a church clothed with civil power and authority to dictate in matters of religion, and to put the saints of God to death. The image, then, must be another church, clothed with civil authority to do the same work. This will be clearly seen by comparing verse 15, with Daniel 7:25-28; Revelation 13:1-5. And as the two-horned beast causes the image to be made, and gives it life, we conclude that it can be no other than the Protestant churches clothed with authority “to speak,” as the Papal church has done, and to carry its decrees into execution by laws and severe penalties.” [BEARF 19.3] Brief Exposition of the Angel of Revelation 14

So now that Donald J. Trump and his VP JD Vance, have officially been elected as the President and Vice President of the Unites States of America, what does this mean? Trump, has high respect for the Catholic Church, and his VP is a Roman Catholic convert himself. On his campaign trail Trump promised:

1. Unprecedented power to Christians, & to bring back Religion and the church-goer
2. A Faith Office in the White House, directly in the Oval Office and directly tied to Trump himself.
3. Promising a strong, prosperous America, and that we are heading into the “golden age” of America

JDVANCE, Trump’s Vice President, as second in command, has ties to PROJECT 2025
– JD Vance has direct ties to Project 2025, run by ‘The Heritage Foundation’, a political policy plan and playbook with Sunday sabbath laws.
– JD Vance states while at Heritage Foundation Event: “This organization (Heritage Foundation/Project 2025) is going to play a major role in helping us figure out how to govern, at the white house, at the senate, at the house, all across our great country.”
– Proposal to enforce Sunday sabbath laws with no buying and no selling (sound familiar?) – starts at 27:00 minutes in, JD Vance spoke at this exact event!
– Jonathan Berry, Author of Project 2025 Sunday sabbath laws, speaks on these laws, start at 46:00 minutes in the video.
– Trump at the Al Smith Dinner: “I am totally in favor of religion, and I also like the Catholic Church a lot.”
Not to mention just these things, there is many talks and conversations happening about sunday sabbath laws for the world and our nation.
(This is not Trump or Vance, but a major heads up, as the question of Sunday enforcement is being widely agitated: Mike Winger and Joel Webber discuss forcing Sunday sabbath laws on the nation and the entire world. Starts at 54:50 in the video. Stephen Wolfe, author of ‘The Case for Christian Nationalism’, says we need to force people to rest of Sunday. Starts at 17:30 minutes in the video.)

This is why I say it is no coincidence that Trump and Vance have been elected as the next leader and co-leader of America. This is right in line with Bible prophecy. Are we ready for what’s to come?
