ATHEISTICAL FRANCE’S WAR AGAINST THE TWO WITNESSES – Part V
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendedth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them and kill them. 8 And their bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where our Lord was crucified. Rev. 11: 7, K.J.V.
“In the year 1793 . . . the gospel was, by a solemn act of the Legislature and the people abolished in France . The indignities offered to the actual copies of the Bible were unimportant after this; their life is in their doctrines, and the extinction of the doctrines is the extinction of the Bible. By the decree of the French Government, declaring that the nation acknowledged no God, the Old and New Testament wereslain throughout the limits of Republican France. But contumelies to the Sacred Books could not have been wanting, in the general plunder of every place of worship. In Lyons they were dragged at the tail of an ass in a procession through the streets . . . .

ATHEISTICAL FRANCE’S WAR AGAINST THE TWO WITNESSES – Part IV
And I will give power unto My two witnesses, and they shall prophecy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed with sackcloth. Rev. 11: 3, K.J.V.
We are counseled: “Let all who would understand the meaning of these things read the eleventh chapter of Revelation. Read every verse, and learn the things that are yet to take place in the cities. Read also the scenes portrayed in the eighteenth chapter of the same book.” – E. G. White, Last Day Events, p. 95 (15MR 18, May 10, 1906).
France’s Place in Prophecy. The beast of chapter 13 and 17 had ten horns each. France was: one of the ten toes of the great image shown to Nebuchadnezzar in a dream recorded in Daniel 2; one of the ten parts of the Western Roman Empire; one of the ten horns of the fourth terrible and exceedingly strong beast of Daniel 7: 7; one of the ten horns of the red dragon of Rev. 12: 3. In verse 9 this dragon is identified as “that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan.” “The dragon is said to be Satan; he it was that moved upon Herod to put the Savior to death. But the chief agent of Satan in making war upon Christ and His people during the first centuries of the Christian Era, was the Roman empire, in which paganism was the prevailing religion. Thus while the dragon, primarily, represents Satan, it is, in a secondary sense, a symbol of pagan Rome.”- Ibid, Great Controversy (1911), p. 438.

ROME’S HATRED TOWARD THE TWO WITNESSES- Part III
“Errors like straws, upon the surface flow;
he who would search for pearls, must dive below.”- John Dryden
If today’s Christian mainstream only knew half of what and how the Christian Bible has survived and flourished till now, and why it has been the object of calumny and so much mysterious hatred, listen to what Lord Byron said: “The best of prophets of the future is the past.” In short, history will repeat itself. Study and fall in love with your Bible now. The days of liberty to heed its instructions and obey God’s immutable Decalogue according to the dictates of conscience through the Holy Spirit, are numbered.
“In the sixteenth century the Reformation, presenting an open Bible to the people, had sought admission to all the countries of Europe. Some nations welcomed it with gladness, as a messenger of Heaven. In other lands the papacy succeeded to a great extent in preventing its entrance; and the light of Bible knowledge, with its elevating influences, was almost wholly excluded. In one country, though the light found entrance, it was not comprehended by the darkness. For centuries, truth and error struggled for the mastery.

THE TWO WITNESSES OF REVELATION CHAPTER 11- Part II
This writer’s attention was called by Professor Manuel Fauni to last week’s FMM (January 23 issue) wherein I wrote in the last sentence: “The seven last plagues (Rev. 15: 1, 8, 16: 1-21), are also called ‘the four winds of the earth,’ Rev. 7: 1-3, ‘the wine of the wrath of God unmingled with mercy,’ (Rev. 14: 9) ‘the wrath of Him who sits on the throne and of the Lamb ’(Rev. 6: 16, 17).”
Thank you. I stand corrected as it was prematurely added to the mix. Following sacred chronology of yet-unfulfilled prophecy no longer fixed by prophetic time after 1844, the 7 last plagues are God’s “righteous judgments” upon the finally impenitent (Rev. 15: 4), administered by the 7 angels John saw coming out of the temple of God in heaven. (chs. 15: 5, 5, 6: 16: 1).
“What then is the change of the Sabbath, but the sign, or mark, of the authority of the Roman [not Christian] Church—‘the mark of the beast.’
“The Roman Church has not relinquished her claim to supremacy; and when the world and the Protestant churches accept a sabbath of her creating, while they reject the Bible Sabbath, they virtually admit this assumption. They may claim the authority of tradition and the Fathers for the change; but in so doing they ignore the very principle which separates them from Rome—that ‘the Bible, and the Bible only, is the religion of the Protestants.’ The papist can see that they are deceiving themselves, willingly closing their eyes to the facts of the case.
As the movement for Sunday observance gains favor, he [the papist] rejoices, feeling assured that it will eventually will bring the whole Protestant world under the banner of Rome.

Spirit of Prophecy References on the Image of the Beast, Mark of the Beast
This is a reference issue for the reader on what Ellen G. White wrote regarding the Image of the Beast, the beast and the mark of the beast, when and how it is received. It is not exhaustive but certainly clearly represents her exhaustive Bible-based teachings on the subject as well as that of the other respected Protestant scholars and writers before and after her time.
We firmly subscribe to and propagate the truths of her writings to as many and as quickly as we can through our limited sphere and means, seeing the shortness of time, believing that “our reward is in heaven.” This follows the alphabetical listing of the Comprehensive Index to the Writings of Ellen G. White, Volume II, Pacific Press Publishing Association, Boise, Idaho, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, Prepared Under the Direction of the Board of Trustees of the Ellen G. White Estate.
