Age of Iron and Clay



To be short, simple, accurate and understandable is what we’re striving for within this passage. The goal is to make our desired conclusion understandable to even any eight grader. Our purpose is to figure out which kingdom within Daniel 2:32-35, our current world is actually in, what the mark of the beast is, what 666 is and who the antichrist is. Remember, the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation were written down in different context, time, language and scribes-but both pointing the same direction, and that is “what is actually going to take place in the future according to God.” In case there’s a handful of you readers who are not familiar with the interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and Daniel’s vision within the book of Daniel (which relates to John’s vision in Revelation), we’re going to briefly explain the prophecy in a general perspective. The head of fine gold according to Daniel 2:32, the beast that looked like a lion with eagles’ wings according to Daniel 7:4, represent the kingdom of Babylon which according to history ruled from 605 BC to 539 BC. The chest and arms of silver according to Daniel 2:32, the beast that looked like a bear with three ribs in its mouth between its teeth according to Daniel 7:5 represent the kingdom of the Medo-Persia which according to history ruled from 539 BC to 331 BC. The belly and thighs of brass or bronze according to Daniel 2:32, the beast that looked like a leopard which had four heads and four wings on its back according to Daniel 7:6, represented the kingdom of Greece which according to history ruled from 331 BC to 168 BC. The legs of iron according to Daniel 2:33, the fourth beast, dreadful, terrible, exceedingly strong, which had iron teeth and ten horns according to Daniel 7:7, represented the kingdom of Rome which according to history ruled from 168 BC to 476 AD. Firstly, this study is going to be based on “a” particular kingdom within the prophecy found in the books of Daniel and Revelation within The Holy Bible. The following analysis will be about the kingdom represented by the feet partly of iron and partly of clay according to Daniel 2:33, the terrible, exceedingly strong beast with iron teeth and ten horns according Daniel 7:7 and the beast that came out from the earth which had two horns like a lamb but spoke like a dragon according to Revelation 13: 11.
King Nebuchadnezzar's dream















Let’s initiate our journey at the very start of the kingdom partly of iron and partly of clay. Daniel 2:33 reads, “its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.” After the fall of the Roman Empire around 476 BC, this particular kingdom of iron and clay will rule the earth until the second coming of Jesus Christ previously as stated in Daniel 2:34. So the question here would be, “Who is the kingdom of iron and clay? Is it just one nation or a handful of nations?” Answer; “The Divided Nations of Europe.” Let’s start from scratch… In the European history, there are three traditional divisions of Western history: Antiquity, Medieval period, and Modern period. The decline of the Roman Empire is one of the traditional markers of the end of Antiquity and the beginning of the European Middle Ages. Let’s define all three terms. Antiquity is any period of time before the middle ages-is the period in which both Greek and Roman society flourished and wielded great influence throughout Europe, North Africa and Middle East. In European history, the Middle Ages, or Medieval period, lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance (The Renaissance is a period from the 14th to the 17th century, considered the bridge between the Middle Ages and modern history. It started as a cultural movement in Italy in the Late Medieval period and later spread to the rest of Europe. Some good examples were the development of perspective in oil painting and the recycled knowledge of how to make concrete) and the Age of Discovery (Age of Discovery was a period of European global exploration that started in the early 15th century with the first Portuguese discoveries in the Atlantic archipelagos and Africa, as well as the discovery of the Americas by Spain in 1492, and the discovery of the ocean route to the East in 1498, and by a series of European naval expeditions across the Atlantic and later the Pacific, which continued until the 18th century-it is sometimes regarded as the bridge between the Middle Ages and the Modern era.) The Modern period also referred to as Modern history or modern era which began during the 16th century, is the period of time “after” the Middle Ages-it can be further narrowed down to early modern period and late modern period after the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution (The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840-this transition included going from hand production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, improved the efficiency of water power, the increasing use of steam power, and the development of machine tools. It also included the change from wood and other bio-fuels to coal. Textiles were the dominant industry of the Industrial Revolution in terms of employment, value of output and capital invested; the textiles industry was also the first to use modern production method).



Back to the surface generally speaking, the kingdom of iron and clay within Daniel 2:33 is actually referring to the divided nations of Europe during the Middle Ages or Medieval period during 476 AD leading up to the Modern period or Modern era, up until the present day today. Also, the dreadful, terrible, and exceedingly strong beast with iron teeth and ten horns according to Daniel 7:7 also referred to this same kingdom which Daniel 2:33 described as the feet of iron and clay. So what does the ten horns on that particular beast represent? Well Daniel 7:24 reads, “The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones. And shall subdue three kings.” Now we can see very clearly that the ten horns are ten kings which shall arise from that kingdom. After the empire of Rome fell, ten divisions came out of the empire during it’s fall around 476 AD;
1.    The Saxons, originating the English nation,
2.    The Heruli
3.    The Alamanni, originating the German nation,
4.    The Visigoths, originating the Spanish nation,
5.    The Suebi/Suevi, originating the Portuguese nation,
6.    The Lombards, originating the Italian nation,
7.    The Burgundians, originating the Swiss nation,
8.    The Ostrogoths, disappeared in 538 AD.
9.    The Byzantine/Eastern Roman Empire, disappeared in 1453 AD.
10.                       The Franks/Frankish, disappeared in 507 AD.



Let’s take the time to look at the last three nations on our list above which disappeared according to history. These three nations or tribes represented the three horns that were uprooted which gave way for the little horn according to Daniel 7:24;


a.    
Symbol of The Ostrogoths
The Ostrogoths (Latin: Ostrogothi or Austrogothi) were a branch of the later Goths (the other major branch being the Visigoths). The Ostrogoths, under the ruling of Theodoric the Great, established a kingdom in Italy in the late 5th and 6th centuries. Theodoric the Great died in 526 AD which initiated a period of instability in which persuaded the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian to declare war on the Ostrogoths during 535 AD in an effort to restore the former western provinces of the Roman Empire. Well according to history, the Papacy destroyed the Ostrogoths during 538 AD. 




b.   

The Byzantine Empire or Eastern Roman Empire was the predominantly Greek speaking continuation of the eastern part of the Roman Empire during late antiquity and the Middle Ages.
Flag of the Byzantine Empire
Its capital city was Constantinople (modern day Istanbul which was originally founded by Byzantium). Well according to history the Ottoman Turks (modern day Turkey) during 1453 AD where the reason the Byzantine Empire fell under the reign of Mehmed the Conqueror.




c.     The Franks or Frankish were originally led by dukes (military leaders) and reguli (petty kings).
The old Frankish Kingdom
According to history, the Franks fell to the Salian Merovingians during 507 AD.




So with that in mind, now let’s take a look at the movements leading toward the creation of the little horn which lead to the subduing of the three horns or kings according to Daniel 7:24, and the beast that came out of the sea according to Revelation 13:1-10-which is in fact the same kingdom, empire or nation.
The Beast that came out of the sea according to Revelation 13.
With the influence of Constantine during 280-337 AD, Christianity became a “religious of power.” Define Papacy… The Papacy is the position or the authority of the pope (the period of time when the pope is in power). The Papacy was influenced by the temporal rulers of the surrounding Italian Peninsula; these period is commonly known as the Ostrogothic Papacy (the Ostrogothic Papacy was the period from 493 to 537 AD where the Papacy was strongly influenced by the Ostrogothic kingdom-if the pope was not outright appointed by the Ostrogothic King. The selection of pope during this period was strongly influenced by the Ostrogothic king Theodoric the Great. Remember, the Ostrogoths was one of the horn or kings which gave way for the little horn or the Papacy, according to Daniel 7:24), Byzantine Papacy (the Byzantine Papacy was a period of Byzantine domination of the papacy from 537 to 752 AD, when popes require the approval of the Byzantine Emperor episcopal consecration-which is the ordination of a new bishop. Let’s not forget that Byzantine was one of our nations subdued by the little horn according to Daniel 7:24) and Frankish Papacy (from 756 to 857 AD the papacy shifted from the orbit of the Byzantine Empire to the kings of the Franks. Please note that the Frankish empire was one of the empire subdued by the little horn according to Daniel 7:24). Please take note: “DUE TO THE ROMAN QUESTION (The Roman Question was a dispute regarding the temporal popes as rulers of a civil territory in the context of the Italian Risorgimento, which ended with the Lateran Pacts between King Victor Emmanuel 3 of Italy and Pope Pius XI in 1929), arising from the Italian unification (the Italian unification was the political and social movement that consolidated different states of the Italian peninsula into the single state of The Kingdom of Italy during the 19th century), resulted in the loss of the Papal States and creation of Vatican City.”



Vatican City
Vatican City officially the Vatican City State is a walled enclaved within the city of Rome. With an area of approximately 44 hectares (110 acres)-it is the smallest internationally recognized independent state in the world by both area and population. Or in other words, Vatican City is the world’s smallest country or nation-which has its own laws, its own government, its own police, its own bank, its own jail, its own top level domain (www.vatican.va), prints its own stamps and issues its own license plates, which only its citizens can drive within its borders, etc.., which makes it similar to any other country in the world (but not so in its own ways). Vatican City has its own thrown known as The Holy See. The Holy See is a legal cooperate person or entity according to the International Law. Basically whenever you hear the term “The Holy See”, think of Catholic Church In-cooperated in which the pope is the CEO. The King of Vatican City has absolute unchecked power within the borders of the country, and his presence makes Vatican City one of only six remaining absolute monarchies in the world (the six remaining monarchies in the world are Vatican City, Brunei, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Swaziland).The Kings absolute power is why Vatican City can’t join the European Union because only democracies are allowed. Vatican City does strictly speaking, have a legislative branch of government staffed by cardinals appointed by the pope. The King of Vatican City can overrule their decisions at any time for any reason. So why do we not hear at any time about the King of Vatican City? Answer: It’s because the king and pope are two different roles which are happened to be occupied by the same person at the same time. Because the pope is elected, the king is all powerful and they’re the same guy, Vatican City is considered the world’s only elected, non-hereditary, and Absolute Monarchy. Vatican City can benefit the papacy simply because the papacy’s headquarters is in fact “at” Vatican City-and the laws of Vatican City applies to the papacy’s global reach. Citizenships in Vatican City is strangest in the world due the pope’s dual role as religious leader and monarch-while other countries gain new citizens with the ever popular human reproduction, Vatican City does not! No one in Vatican City is born a citizen! The only way to become a citizen is when the king of Vatican City appoints you as one-and the king appoints you as one if you work for the pope (who is also the king of Vatican City). Thus simply saying, if you quit your job to the pope, the king will revoke your citizenship. This rule means, Vatican City doesn’t have a real permanent population. All these citizens work for the pope as cardinals, diplomats, the pope’s body-guard, the Swiss-guards, or other Catholic related jobs. This resulted in “the” subduing or the so called “done away of” the three horns or kings from the three kingdoms, nations, tribes or empires or the old papacy system which are previously mentioned above. 



Now let’s see how the Papacy concluded the Prophesy according to Revelation 13:1-10 and Daniel 7:25, 26. According to Revelation 13:1-10, the sea represent multitudes, peoples and tongues-an area of vast population. According to Daniel 7:25, this kingdom or empire shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of The Most High, and shall intend to change times and laws. Now let’s see what the Papacy did especially during the Middle Ages;

a.     Early in the fourth century, the religion was legalized by Edict of Milan considering the early persecution of Christians during the Antiquity period.
Edict of Milan
The term “Edict of Milan” was the February 313 AD agreement to treat Christians benevolently (with understanding, sympathy, kindness and generosity) within the Roman Empire. Western Roman Empire Constantine 1, and Lucinius, who controlled the Balkans, met in Milan and among other things, agreed to change policies toward Christians following the Edict of Toleration (the Edict of Toleration by Galerius was issued in 311 AD in Serdica by the Roman emperor Galerius, officially ending the persecution of Christians) by Galerius issued two years earlier. Mind you, this was the foundational strategy in which the surviving Roman Empire during the Middle Ages implemented in order to gain control over the Christians which during the antiquity period were persecuted by the Roman Empire.

b.    Constantine also made and signed a decree which changed the day of worship from Sabbath to Sunday around 313 AD. This is totally against God’s Word The Holy Bible. Genesis 2:2, 3 reads, “And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.” Or in other words, keeping the wrong day of worship and not the seventh day which is the Sabbath is entirely wrong and a sin against God’s Commandments. Exodus 20:8 reads, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”

c.     But sad to say, there is a history of individuals’ Christian denominations suffering persecution at the hands of the Papacy under the charge of heresy-particularly during the 16th century Protestant Reformation as well throughout the Middle Ages when various Christian groups deemed heretical were persecuted by the Papacy.
An illustration of how Christians were persecuted by the Papacy
The Dark Ages during the Middle Ages started during 476 AD to 1000 AD-it was created by Italian humanists and was originally intended as a sweeping criticism of the character of Vulgar Latin (Late Latin literature). Or in other words, it was created to sweep clean and destroy the Holy Scripture from the hands of individuals or Christians.

d.    The Gregorian calendar, also called the Western calendar and the Christian calendar. It is internationally the most widely used civil calendar.
The Gregorian Calendar
It is named after Pope Gregory XIII, who introduced it in 1582. Protestants and Eastern Orthodox countries continued to use the traditional Julian calendar and adopted the Gregorian reform after a time, for the sake of convenience in international trade. The last European country to adopt the reform was Greece, in 1923. So what does this have to do with Revelation 13:1-10 and Daniel 7:25, 26? Well, this was the foundation in which the Papacy stood upon to change the day of worship from Sabbath to Sunday (meaning, according to the Papacy, Sunday was the real Sabbath since the Calendar was modified).

e.     In the teaching of the Catholic Church, an indulgence is “a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfaction of Christ and the saints. Or in other words simply speaking, the process of salvation was bound up with money-meaning, Christians had to pay the Catholic Church for the forgiveness of their sins and acceptance by Jesus Christ. This was previously mostly encouraged by Innocent III (or Lothar of Segni which reigned from 1198-1216 AD). According to Luke 7:48-50, Jesus Christ is the only one who can forgive us our sins because He is God (God The Son in our trinity God Head). Mind you, only Jesus Christ can intercede for us since He is faultless or without sin or righteous-the true vine that connects us to the tree of life if we accept Him according to John 15, the way, the truth and the life according to John 14. Jesus Christ even told us not to “judge” according to Mathew 7… But sadly, this is what the papacy is doing when Jesus Christ or God should be doing all the judging.

Before we move on to the next beast, let’s consider Revelation 13: 3 which reads, “And I saw one of his heads as it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.” During 1798 AD, French troops had marched into Rome and had taken Pope Pius VI prisoner. They placed the sickly pontiff in the citadel of Valence where he died on August 29, 1799.



Now let’s take a good look at the second beast that came out of the earth according to Revelation 13: 11-18. This will be our main focus… Revelation 13: 1 reads, “Then I saw another beast coming out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.”
The Beast that came out of the earth according to Revelation 13.
 Now let’s take the time to define each entity within this context. Like all other beast which we previously saw in Daniel chapter 7 and Revelation 13:1-10, “beast” here within this scenario represent an empire, nation or kingdom. This second beast that came out of the earth represents the United States of America. Now let’s take a look on how every puzzle to our conclusion appropriately fall into place, metaphorically speaking. The Earth which the beast came out from according to Revelation 13:11 represent an unpopulated area or group of people. According to history, indigenous peoples lived in what is now the United States for thousands of years before European colonists began to arrive, mostly from England after 1600.  In most cases, the main cause for people arriving from parts of Europe to America was to avoid persecution by the Papacy and freedom of religion. But there are also other cases where criminals and general refugees were seeking refuge for any reason that has nothing whatsoever to do with the persecution of other Christians (which we now refer to as Protestant Christians) and freedom of religion.

The beast had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. United States of America stood for liberty of concise and freedom of worship (which seemed like a nation formed by the hand of God for the refuge of Christians suffering persecution in Europe), thus symbolized by the lamb in Revelation 13:11. The two horns within Revelation 13:11 represented The United States and The Confederate States of America previously when they both were not united to form the current United States of America (which they did unit after the Civil War fought from 1861 to 1865 to determine the survival or union for the Confederacy).  Also additionally speaking, in the United States there have always been two main political parties dating way back to the Civil War and the time of Confederate States and The United States prior to the Civil War, according to history. Since the 1860’s, these two parties have been the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. The Democrats have always been the largest party in the Senate. Or in other words, part of both Confederate States and the United States back then are still alive today within the United States of America we have today.


Revelation 13: 12 reads, “And the beast exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed.” So here within this scenario denoting and cracking the metaphor, we see that United States is currently the most influential, first-world developed country, which has a very religious (under the wings of Christianity) background and perspective due to its history and formation. That’s how powerful United States of America is-within the very sight of the Papacy (Papacy within Vatican City). During Pope Pius VI’s imprisonment in 1798 AD by French troops (which is the Papacy’s wound or the first beast’s wound), the Papacy survived from its wound and is still functioning right up until today (and even growing in its reach).


Additionally portraying our direction toward the conclusion, Revelation 13:13 reads, “He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.” Figuratively or metaphorically speaking, fire is a symbol of God’s presence and the instrument of His power according to Exodus 14:19; Numbers 11:1, 3; Judges 13:20; 1 Kings 18: 38; 2 Kings 1:10, 12,  2:11; Isaiah 6: 4; Ezekiel 1: 4; Revelation 1:14, Jeremiah 23:29, Mathew 3:11, etc... The War on Terror (WoT), also known as the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), refers to the international military campaign that started after the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. Since it was said to be a devastating “blow” for the United States, they claim al-Qaeda to be against The United States of America because of their so called “Christian history and country” (which is partly true) since al-Qaeda is a Muslim organization. The United States led a coalition of the other NATO and non-NATO nations in the campaign to destroy al-Qaeda and other militant extremist organization. U.S President George W. Bush first used the “term” to argue a global military, political, legal, and conceptual struggle against both organization designated terrorist and regimes accused of supporting them. It was originally used with a particular focus on Muslim countries associated with Islamic terrorism organizations including al-Qaeda and like-minded organizations. So is it all for a good course like the rest of the world was led to believe? Answer: partly true… If President Bush and the Bin Ladens were enemies, than it doesn’t make sense how they are connected in their business relations in the past-which means there’s something personal or “fishy” about the entire scenario. President George W. Bush and the Bin Laden family have been connected through dubious business deals since 1977, when Salem, the head of the Bin Laden family business, one of the biggest construction companies in the world, invested in Bush’s start-up oil company, Arbusto Energy, Inc. So is George W. Bush really fighting for himself, his country while wearing a mask looking like a Christian (using Christianity as a means toward personal gain) and is Bin Laden really fighting for himself, his country while wearing a mask looking like a Muslim (using Muslim for person gain)? Answer: seemingly yes. Christianity and Muslim (religion) were just used for personal gain (for personal, country or organizational gain). To be specific simply speaking, “it’s a fight for power in the global economy.” See, all United States is trying to do is maintain its position in the global economy (as being first), and all organizations like the al-Qaeda and Bin Laden are trying to do is, cause U.S to fall from their current position in the global economy (because United States is considered first in the global economy, it is one of the powerful country with influence in the world today). To show you this is really happening, let’s take a trip back down memory-lain. When Bin Laden initiated an attack on the twin towers, President George W. Bush deployed troops to Afghanistan. Now that’s an expense to the U.S government-so the U.S government goes into debt by the Federal Reserve Bank printing out cash or paper money in order to fulfill its military expense plus all other expense according to its budget-that would mean the U.S government must pay back its necessary liability or debt plus interest. Now calculate how many years the U.S troops were in Afghanistan or deployed to the Middle East for the so called War against terror. This explains the recent negative climax within the U.S economy-Unemployment Rate increase within the last few years. This is just an example in history (which simply means there are also other examples in history and currently occurring: for instance, currently the war against ISIS). All in all, this clearly shows how religion is used as a means for personal, organizational or a country’s gain.


Revelation 13:18 reads, “Here is wisdom. Let him who understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
The Number of the Beast
Now let’s calculate the number of the beast. God’s number in Revelation is seven (7). So that would mean, multiples of the number six may represent and emphasize counterfeit and falling short. In Daniel 3:1, We see that King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, and its width six cubits which he previously set up for the people to worship. But as we all know according to history, the kingdom of Babylon fell. Man in King Nebuchadnezzar's dream in The Holy Bible symbolizes earthly power (which is different from the nations that are in power, “the various different metals. So 666 represent or is the number of this "power" which is not a single nation, United States but an earthly power (made up of corporations, country and cities within our current age of Iron and Clay). Or in other words, the authority which was previously given to the Roman Empire prevail through these three cities. The partnership of these cities is between;

1.     City of London Inc.
The City of London was formed when the Romans arrived in Great Britian 2000 years ago and started a trading post on the river Thames. Exactly 1000 years later Williams the Conqueror (King William III) gave sovereign status to the City of Londoners in 1694 allowing them to continue enjoying separate rights and privileges so long as they recognized him as king. What is peculiar is that the laws passed by the British Parliament does not apply to the City of London. However the City of London is not an independent nation like the Vatican.
The City of London
The City of London has its own flag, laws, and police, etc… What’s unique is that, the City of London is a corporation and older than the United Kingdom but has a representative in the UK parliament through a person known as the ‘Remembrancer’ who is present to protect the City’s interests. The City of London houses;
·       Rothschild controlled ‘Bank of England’
·       LIoyds of London
·       The London Stock Exchange
·       All British Banks
·       The Branch offices of 384
·       Foreign Banks
·       70 USA Banks
·       Fleet Streets Newspapers and Publishing Monopolies
·       Headquarters for Worldwide Freemasonry
·       Headquarters for the worldwide money cartel known as “THE CROWN”
The Obelisk in the City of London
The City of London is controlled by the Bank of England (a private corporation owned by the Rothschild family). The City of London also directly and indirectly controls all mayors, councils, regional councils, multinational and trans-national banks, corporations, judicial systems (through old Bailey, Temple Bar and the Royal Courts of Justice in London), the IMF, World Bank, Vatican Bank (through N.M. Rothschild & Sons London Italian subsidiary Torlonia), European Central Bank, United States Federal Reserve (which is privately owned and secretly controlled by eight British-controlled shareholding banks), the Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland (which is also British-controlled and oversees all of the Reserve Banks around the world), and the European Union and the United Nations Organization. The Crown controls the global financial system and runs the governments of all Commonwealth countries, and many non-Commonwealth “Western” nations as well (like Greece). The Crown tracks back to the Vatican, which is healed by the pope (who owns American Express).

2.    Washington DC (District of Colombia)
Washington DC is not part of the USA. DC also has its own flag and own independence constitution.
The Obelisk in D.C
This constitution operates under a tyrannical Roman law known as Lex Fori. DC constitution has nothing to do with the American constitution. The Act of 1871 passed by Congress created a separate corporation known as “The United States & corporate government for the District of Columbia. Thus DC acts as a corporation through the Act. The flag of Washington’s District of Columbia has 3 red stars (the 3 stars denoting DC, Vatican City and City of London). The U.S president is nothing more than a figurehead for the central bankers and the transnational corporations-both of which are controlled by High Ecclesiastic Freemasonry from the City of London the home of the global financial system.


3.    Vatican City
The Vatican City is not part of Italy or Rome. The Vatican’s wealth includes investments with the Rothschilds in Britain, France, and US and with oil and weapons corporations as well.
The Obelisk in Vatican City
Vatican City officially the Vatican City State is a walled enclaved within the city of Rome. With an area of approximately 44 hectares (110 acres)-it is the smallest internationally recognized independent state in the world by both area and population. Or in other words, Vatican City is the world’s smallest country or nation-which has its own laws, its own government, its own police, its own bank, its own jail, its own top level domain (www.vatican.va), prints its own stamps and issues its own license plates, which only its citizens can drive within its borders, etc.., which makes it similar to any other country in the world (but not so in its own ways). Vatican City has its own thrown known as The Holy See. The Holy See is a legal cooperate person or entity according to the International Law. Basically whenever you hear the term “The Holy See”, think of Catholic Church In-cooperated in which the pope is the CEO. The King of Vatican City has absolute unchecked power within the borders of the country, and his presence makes Vatican City one of only six remaining absolute monarchies in the world (the six remaining monarchies in the world are Vatican City, Brunei, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Swaziland).The Kings absolute power is why Vatican City can’t join the European Union because only democracies are allowed. Vatican City does strictly speaking, have a legislative branch of government staffed by cardinals appointed by the pope. The King of Vatican City can overrule their decisions at any time for any reason. 

That is how this power is actually in power.
Can someone please tell me the meaning of the Obelisk (or what it symbolizes-according to its definition and use in ancient times or previously in history)?
 The difference is that “this power” gave authority to the beast that came out from the earth (which is the United States) according to Revelation 13:15-thus simply saying, the United States is considered the most powerful country in the world but is not because the real people in power are corporations, partnerships, and citiesn (666). This is the number of the beast… Lest we forget that 1 John 2:15 reads, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” If we do not have the love of the Father or God (God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit) within us, or the Holy Spirit within us by loving the things of this world, then we do not have the seal, name, or mark of God-and if we do not have the mark of God within us, we automatically have the mark of the beast, its name and its number on our foreheads and hands. So what does it mean to have "them" on our foreheads and hands? Having our minds and hearts concentrating, desiring and loving the things of this world more than God-Whose principality and character is love.



Revelation 13: 16-18 reads, “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.” Now let’s see how United States has the will to cause all to receive a mark, a name or the number of the beast on their right hand or on their foreheads … They do that by fig-literally persuading, forcing and causing all to concentrate more on the things of this world apart from God. In order to persuade all, United States have to first identify “all”. Literally physically speaking, let’s take a look few things that will help the U.S to cause all to receive the mark of the beast, the name of the beast, and the number of the beast by identifying all (citizens, individuals or everyone);
a.     The Social Security Number...
An Example of the Social Security Number
The United States Government’s full list of laws are call the “United States Code.” If you go to Title 42, United States Code, Section 666, you will find where the Social Security Number is now mandated on all licenses. Thus simply saying “No Social Security Number (SSN), no license!” Here is what it says;

42 US 666 (13) Recording of social security numbers in certain family matters.— Procedures requiring that the social security number of—
(A) any applicant for a professional license, driver’s license, occupational license, recreational license, or marriage license be recorded on the application
;

Here are the list of licenses that require “a” Social Security Number:
1.    Professional licenses
Ø Accountant, Certified Public
Ø Dental Assistant, Certified
Ø Dentist
Ø Engineer
Ø Interior Designer, etc…
2.    Drivers licenses
Ø The standard driver’s license most people have
Ø Bus Driver’s license
Ø Truck Driver’s license
Ø Taxi and Livery Drivers, (less than 14 passengers)
3.    Occupational licenses
Ø Business licenses
Ø Supplemental business licenses
Ø Conditional driver’s license for the use to and from work or school
4.    Recreational license
Ø Fishing license
Ø Ameteur radio license
Ø Boating license
Ø Pilot license
Ø Hunting license, etc…

If you participate on any of the licenses listed above (in the United States), you must know you need a Social Security Number in order to get one. Mind you, in the United States the social security is linked to your individual bank account (Meaning when you’re trying to open a new account, one of the requirements asked by any staff within any particular bank whatsoever, would be the Social Security Number-furthermore as we all know, without a bank account, you and I cannot have a valid debit or credit card). Also you’ll need a Social Security Number in order to be employed and taxed formally. You’d probably be thinking the Social Security Number was a creation by the Roosevelt administration in 1932, that’s only partly true. The ISSA (International Social Security Administration) actually came before Roosevelt’s system by 5 years. So is United States the only country that has Social Security Numbers? Answer: No. At least 170 (at last count) countries participate in the Social Security System (meaning its worldwide). Here are some of the countries on last count listed below;

b.    NAFTA

Want to import or export? Thanks to NAFTA (passed in 1994) you need a tax identification number to export or import. NAFTA Certificate of Origin (Read the form and the instructions on the back). In fact trade is exactly how most people earned a living in Biblical times. Please take note that above (The NAFTA and The Social Security Number) are only two examples mentioned of how influencsive and powerful United States is.














So what is the Mark of the Beast? Well before we come to understand the mark of the beast, we have to understand God’s mark.
When we as Christians are infilled with The Holy Spirit, we have God’s seal (according to 2 Corinthians 1:22). God’s seal is also referred to as God’s name according Exodus 33:18-19, Revelation 14:1) and God’s mark (according to Ezekiel 9:1-7). Since there is no middle ground in this Great Controversy, when we do not have God’s seal, name, or mark, we automatically have the mark of the beast. Or in other words, it’s who we as individuals or human beings place our allegiance to: whether it be God or satan. 1 John 2:15 reads, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” If we do not have the love of the Father or God (God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit) within us, or the Holy Spirit within us by loving the things of this world, then we do not have the seal, name, or mark of God-and if we do not have the mark of God within us, we automatically have the mark of the beast, its name and its number.














To conclude, the Great Controversy is between God’s principality of love and Satan’s principality of selfishness. It started way back in heaven according Revelation 12:7-12. When we as Christians are infilled with The Holy Spirit, we have God’s seal (according to 2 Corinthians 1:22). God’s seal is also referred to as God’s name according Exodus 33:18-19, Revelation 14:1) and God’s mark (according to Ezekiel 9:1-7). Since there is no middle ground in this Great Controversy, when we do not have God’s seal, name, or mark, we automatically have the mark of the beast. With accord to what has been presented above within the above paragraphs, when we accept, cherish and love the things of this world, we do not have the love of the Father. 1 John 2:15 reads, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” If we do not have the love of the Father or God (God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit) within us, or the Holy Spirit within us by loving the things of this world, then we do not have the seal, name, or mark of God-and if we do not have the mark of God within us, we automatically have the mark of the beast, its name and its number. Do not forget John 3:16…  Jesus Christ already won this Great Controversy when He was previously on the cross. Because He is love, you and I have the power of choice to choose between His principality of love (which is already victorious) or satan’s principality of selfishness. Remember, “JESUS CHRIST IS COMING SOON, TIME IS SOMETHING WE ALL DON’T HAVE, AND THE POWER OF CHOICE IS YOURS…” 

Jesus Christ is coming soon...
