Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Prophecy foretold America, the land of religious freedom(lamb) will compel(force) conscience and if we see these things we must know the time is at hand. Speaking as the DRAGON means using FORCE on people. It is Satan who uses force but God does not force you to do what He wants you to do.
Pandemic-19 is being used as the bridge to the Sunday law enforcement. As Winston Churchill once said “Never let a good crisis go to waste”, this pandemic crisis is being used by Sunday law advocates as dress rehearsal for National Sunday law enforcement.
United States has started threatening Liberty of conscience by forcing vackxine requirements on everyone whether you like it or not.
What happened to the freedom of choice in the United States constitution? It has been amended spiritually left with the physical amendment at Congress. God’s people must wake up and prepare for what’s soon coming upon the world as an overwhelming surprise.
When the Government is enforcing Mandates against your Liberty of Conscience, that means What?
In Daniel 1 the Health Crises came over WHAT GOES IN THE BODY,
And in Daniel 3
The WORSHIP Crises Came
Look at this news excerpt from NBC News
Biden calls on private companies to issue vakcine requirements
“The president had previously voiced his support for vackxine requirements in workplaces, but his message Monday marked a more direct appeal to private employers to play a bigger role in boosting the vackxination rate in the U.S.
“If you’re a business leader, a nonprofit leader, a state or local leader who has been waiting on full FDA approval to require vackxinations, I call on you now to do that,” Biden said. “Require it.”
This crisis is not being wasted but they are using it to achieve their purpose.
Every person must have his freedom of choice, freedom to exercise his God given right to think and make independent choices. If anything mar this right then trouble follows.
There is one power that has been using force on people in the past. The Papacy, the first beast uses force and it is prophesied United States, the second beast will do the same.
It is sad many people don’t see anything wrong with what’s propagating even God’s church not discerning signs of the time because they are in bed with the government.
It is a dangerous thing to side with the government in these trying times especially when liberty of conscience is threatened.
When you see America starting to use force( mandates ) know that it is ready to speak as a dragon and form an image to th beast.
God’s people must wake up to the danger at hand. Blessed are they that see and hear what’s coming.
Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The United States Will Pass a Sunday Law
When our nation shall so abjure the principles of its government as to enact a Sunday law, Protestantism will in this act join hands with popery.—Testimonies for the Church 5:712 (1889). LDE 128.2
Protestants will throw their whole influence and strength on the side of the papacy. By a national act enforcing the false sabbath they will give life and vigor to the corrupt faith of Rome, reviving her tyranny and oppression of conscience.—Maranatha, 179 (1893). LDE 128.3
Sooner or later Sunday laws will be passed.—The Review and Herald, February 16, 1905. LDE 128.4

The prophecy of Revelation 13declares that the power represented by the beast with lamblike horns shall cause “the earth and them which dwell therein” to worship the papacy—there symbolized by the beast “like unto a leopard”…. This prophecy will be fulfilled when the United States shall enforce Sunday observance, which Rome claims as the special acknowledgment of her supremacy…. LDE 129.2
Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth, and even in free America rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance.—The Great Controversy, 578, 579, 592 (1911). LDE 129.3
Arguments Used by Sunday-Law Advocates
Satan puts his interpretation upon events, and they think, as he would have them, that the calamities which fill the land are a result of Sundaybreaking. Thinking to appease the wrath of God these influential men make laws enforcing Sunday observance.—Manuscript Releases 10:239 (1899). LDE 129.4
This very class put forth the claim that the fast-spreading corruption is largely attributable to the desecration of the so-called “Christian sabbath” and that the enforcement of Sunday observance would greatly improve the morals of society. This claim is especially urged in America, where the doctrine of the true Sabbath has been most widely preached.—The Great Controversy, 587 (1911). LDE 129.5
Protestantism and Catholicism Act in Concert

How the Roman church can clear herself from the charge of idolatry we cannot see…. And this is the religion which Protestants are beginning to look upon with so much favor, and which will eventually be united with Protestantism. This union will not, however, be effected by a change in Catholicism, for Rome never changes. She claims infallibility. It is Protestantism that will change. The adoption of liberal ideas on its part will bring it where it can clasp the hand of Catholicism.—The Review and Herald, June 1, 1886.LDE 130.2
The professed Protestant world will form a confederacy with the man of sin, and the church and the world will be in corrupt harmony.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:975(1891). LDE 130.3
Romanism in the Old World, and apostate Protestantism in the New, will pursue a similar course toward those who honor all the divine precepts.—The Great Controversy, 616 (1911). LDE 130.4
Sunday Laws Honor Rome
When the leading churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence the state to enforce their decrees and to sustain their institutions, then Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitably result…. LDE 131.1
The enforcement of Sundaykeeping on the part of Protestant churches is an enforcement of the worship of the papacy…. LDE 131.2
In the very act of enforcing a religious duty by secular power, the churches would themselves form an image to the beast; hence the enforcement of Sundaykeeping in the United States would be an enforcement of the worship of the beast and his image.—The Great Controversy, 445, 448, 449 (1911). LDE 131.3
When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.—Testimonies for the Church 5:451(1885). LDE 131.4
Rome Will Regain Her Lost Supremacy
As we approach the last crisis it is of vital moment that harmony and unity exist among the Lord’s instrumentalities. The world is filled with storm and war and variance. Yet under one head—the papal power—the people will unite to oppose God in the person of His witnesses. This union is cemented by the great apostate.—Testimonies for the Church 7:182 (1902). LDE 131.5
Laws enforcing the observance of Sunday as the Sabbath will bring about a national apostasy from the principles of republicanism upon which the government has been founded. The religion of the papacy will be accepted by the rulers, and the law of God will be made void.—Manuscript Releases 7:192 (1906). LDE 132.1
A day of great intellectual darkness has been shown to be favorable to the success of popery. It will yet be demonstrated that a day of great intellectual light is equally favorable for its success.—The Spirit of Prophecy 4:390 (1884). LDE 132.2
In the movements now in progress in the United States to secure for the institutions and usages of the church the support of the state, Protestants are following in the steps of papists.Nay, more, they are opening the door for the papacy to regain in Protestant America the supremacy which she has lost in the Old World.—The Great Controversy, 573 (1911). LDE 132.3
A National Sunday Law Means National Apostasy
To secure popularity and patronage, legislators will yield to the demand for a Sunday law By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness…. LDE 132.4
As the approach of the Roman armies was a sign to the disciples of the impending destruction of Jerusalem, so may this apostasy be a sign to us that the limit of God’s forbearance is reached.—Testimonies for the Church 5:451 (1885). LDE 133.1

LDE 133.4
National Apostasy Will Be Followed by National Ruin
When our nation, in its legislative councils, shall enact laws to bind the consciences of men in regard to their religious privileges, enforcing Sunday observance, and bringing oppressive power to bear against those who keep the seventh-day Sabbath, the law of God will, to all intents and purposes, be made void in our land, and national apostasy will be followed by national ruin.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:977(1888). LDE 133.5
It is at the time of the national apostasy when, acting on the policy of Satan, the rulers of the land will rank themselves on the side of the man of sin. It is then the measure of guilt is full. The national apostasy is the signal for national ruin.—Selected Messages 2:373 (1891). LDE 134.1
Roman Catholic principles will be taken under the care and protection of the state. This national apostasy will speedily be followed by national ruin.—The Review and Herald, June 15, 1897. LDE 134.2

When the state shall use its power to enforce the decrees and sustain the institutions of the church—then will Protestant America have formed an image to the papacy, and there will be a national apostasy which will end only in national ruin.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:976(1910). LDE 134.4
