The prophecy of Revelation 13 declares that the power represented by the
beast with lamb-like horns shall cause "the earth and them which dwell
therein" to worship the papacy--there symbolized by the beast "like unto a
leopard." The beast with two horns is also to say "to them that dwell on
the earth, that they should make an image to the beast;" and, furthermore,
it is to command all, "both small and great, rich and poor, free and
bond," to receive "the mark of the beast."(1017) It has been shown that
the United States is the power represented by the beast with lamb-like
horns, and that this prophecy will be fulfilled when the United States
shall enforce Sunday observance, which Rome claims as the special
acknowledgment of her supremacy. But in this homage to papacy the United
States will not be alone. The influence of Rome in the countries that once
acknowledged her dominion, is still far from being destroyed. And prophecy
foretells a restoration of her power. "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."(1018) The infliction of the deadly wound points
to the downfall of the papacy in 1798. After this, says the prophet, "His
deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." Paul
states plainly that the man of sin will continue until the second
advent.(1019) To the very close of time he will carry forward his work of
deception. And the revelator declares, also referring to the papacy, "All
that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written
in the book of life."(1020) In both the Old and the New World, the papacy
will receive homage in the honor paid to the Sunday institution, that
rests solely upon the authority of the Roman Church.

For more than half a century, students of prophecy in the United States
have presented this testimony to the world. In the events now taking place
is seen a rapid advance toward the fulfilment of the prediction. With
Protestant teachers there is the same claim of divine authority for
Sunday-keeping, and the same lack of scriptural evidence, as with the
papal leaders who fabricated miracles to supply the place of a command
from God. The assertion that God's judgments are visited upon men for
their violation of the Sunday-sabbath, will be repeated; already it is
beginning to be urged. And a movement to enforce Sunday observance is fast
gaining gr
