Mark of the Beast.

By Roswell F. Cottrell

My former impression, that the mark of the beast is the counterfeit sabbath of Rome, has been strengthened of late by hearing a dealer say, that, if he should keep the Sabbath, he would beggar his family. Here we have it. No man might buy or sell save he that had the mark of the beast, or his image, or the number of his name. The mark of the beast, and the seal of the living God, will soon draw the dividing line between the servants of God, and those false and hypocritical professors of religion who will say, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name cast out devils, and in thy name done many wonderful works. Then will the King say to them, Depart from me ye workers of iniquity for I never knew you.
May truth prevail. Let us continue in the word of Christ, that we may know the truth, and the truth may make us free. I would not be found fighting against God, or any part of his truth. I wish to be prepared for every trial. Nothing but the truth can sanctify and prepare me. If it is the will of God to pour out his Spirit in the latter part of the last days, comparable to the latter rain, the will of the Lord be done. Let God be true. ROSWELL F. COTTRELL.
