The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 354
guilty of much more than this in the atrocities committed during WW II.
It is an oxymoron to say that Christians have persecuted and killed other Christians. True
Christians don't murder other Christians. In fact true Christian don't murder anyone (excluding
self-defense which is not murder). This is just as true for Protestants who have killed in the name
of religion. No one who practices murder shall inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21).
Murders can repent and be saved but they must confess their wickedness and turn away from it;
it cannot be defended or justified!
The purpose of presenting these facts about those martyred by the Catholic Church is that
it is a picture of things to come. Scripture clearly states: “The thing that hath been, it is that
which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done” (Ecclesiastics 1:9). The end-
time beast of Revelations 13 and 17 will duplicate the atrocities committed under the Roman
Empire and the Roman Catholic Church. The religions of the world will unite, this will include
apostate Christianity. True Christianity will be outlawed and God's true followers will be
persecuted and killed.
The Image Of The Beast
As was shown above, the beast of Revelation 13 represents a one-world government
encompassing all people of every nation and of all religions over the entire earth. The beast does
not represent the Catholic Church as is popularly believed, but one of the beasts heads does
represent the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church which succeeded it.
The image of the beast is an image of the NWO which encompasses all people of all
religions over the entire earth. The image is a one-world religion encompassing all people of all
nations and all religions over the entire earth; the exception will be those who refuse to be a part
of the OWR because they remain loyal to God (Rev 13:14-15). The OWR will be a blending of
all the worlds religions; it will be an image of what Constantine attempted early in the forth
century but it will be much more encompassing.
The Lamb Like Beast
The beast who brings about the OWR is the lamb like beast of Revelation 13 which
speaks like a dragon (it speaks like Satan). The beast rises out of the earth and not the water like
the first beast. The first beast rose up among multitudes of people. The lamb like beast rises up in
the wilderness as represented by the earth (Rev 13:11). This is a picture of the United States who
rose up in the wilderness of America. The US is represented as a lamb because it was founded by
God's people as a Christian nation and Jesus is represented by a lamb. But as it matures it will
speak like a dragon and bring about a NWO and OWR; it will establish the mark-of-the-beast
and it will persecute God's people just like the first beast (Rev 13:14-17) and cause the world to
worship an image of the beast. The two horns most likely represent the U.S. and it's mother
nation Great Britain. A horn typically represents an individual king or kingdom (see Daniel 7 &
8; Rev 12, 13 & 17).
Further evidence that the Lamb like beast is the United States is given in Revelation 14.
An angel declares that Babylon has fallen and all nations have suffered under the wrath of her
fornication. In the next verse another Angel declares a warning to not worship the image of the
