The Mark of the Beast

The Mark of the Beast.—There is much said in this paper concerning the mark of the beast. It is important. We need no other excuse in presenting it. Eight times Inspiration refers to it in the book of the Revelation. God gives the strongest of warnings against its reception, pronounces the direst penalties upon those who receive it. Ought not men to know what it means, especially when it comes before us in the book called "The Revelation"? Ought we not to know its meaning, that we may escape the awful penalties of its reception? Would God warn for naught? Does He mock us in the warning?—No, reader. It is all to be known, and it is possible for men to shun its reception and escape its penalty; for God means all He says, and "the secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him." The same book which contains the warning, also declares a blessing upon those who read the book and do what is contained therein. As God is no respecter of persons, the blessing is for every one.
