Mark of the Beast: Deceived by the SDA? 666!
How can you buy and sell with a Sunday? Does the Seventh Day Adventist interpretation of the mark of the beast, mentioned in Revelation 13:16-18, really fit in with what the prophecy says? Are you aware of ‘RFID implants’ which can be used for cashless transactions?

If you believe that the mark of the beast is a visible mark, i.e. a microchip, in your hand or a barcode on the forehead, then the seal of God also must be a visible mark or seal. Would you agree? But not so! God said, I quote,
"Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them." (Ezekiel 20:12)
For example, Cardinal Gibbons said, in Faith of Our Fathers, 92nd ed., p. 89, freely admits, “You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we [the Catholic Church] never sanctify.”
Also, “The Catholic Church, … by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday” (The Catholic Mirror, official publication of James Cardinal Gibbons, Sept. 23, 1893).
“Protestants do not realize that by observing Sunday, they accept the authority of the spokesperson of the Church, the Pope” (Our Sunday Visitor, February 5, 1950).
“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change [Saturday Sabbath to Sunday] was her act... And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things” (H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons).
The Catholic Church claims that “the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact” (Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1, 1923).
God has a church, and His church is as described in Revelation 14:12, "Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.", including the fourth commandment. Also, it worth noting that the fourth commandment is the ONLY commandment of the ten which begins with the word "Remember". And it is the only commandment in which God identifies Himself, "for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it." (Exodus 20:11)
So, no; you are utterly wrong! As the seal of God is not a visible seal, so is the the mark of the beats, is not visible. Regarding the microchip, it seems to be the tool which the beats power will use to enforce the no buying and selling. Whereas the true mark of the beast is worship. In Revelation 14:7 and 9-11 we read, I quote,
"7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
9 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,
10 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:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."
I would highly suggest you study the Word of God with diligence. And concerning the Sunday law, is already happening, climate change is about global Sunday law. Whether you believe what Ellen Gould White said, that's entirely up to you, but everything she said are coming to pass. And if you don't believe that Sunday observance will be enforced, study history. For example, in the US it has already happened centuries ago. Again, please study history as history will repeat itself; as Solomon said, "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9).
