The
beast forced all the people to have a mark placed on
their right hand or on their foreheads. Rev. 13:16

Just
before Jesus comes, there will be a real mess on this
world! Angels are keeping the trouble away until you
have had a chance to be sealed. (Revelation 7:2,3) The
word "sealed" means to make up your mind to
always do what Jesus asks. He asks us to keep the Ten
Commandments as written in Exodus 20. Many people have
tried to change the commandments. Make sure you know
what Exodus 20 says.
In the
Bible in Revelation, John tells us that the Dragon ? who
is Satan and his helpers ? will be mean to anyone who
keeps the 10 commandments and have the testimony of
Jesus which is the spirit of prophecy. Make sure you are
not a helper of the Dragon. Do not be mean to anyone
keeping the commandments.

If you
look at your lesson number 7, you will see this beast.
This big animal was a dragon with horns. We are just
looking at the horns in this picture. This talking horn
has mean things to say. He says he can change God's
laws. He actually tries to change God's Commandment
laws. Many people read what he says and think it is
really the 10 Commandments of God. These are very honest
sincere people but they are tricked only because they do
not go to the Bible to see if it is right.
This
horn says everyone should respect him because he is God's
representative. God told us about this power using
symbols. If you want to know more about this power, look
in Revelation studies for children lesson
15
and lesson 21(not up yet). There is also more in the
Daniel studies for children in lesson 7 and 8 (not up
yet).
There
is a powerful nation represented by the buffalo seen in lesson
7,
that will make everyone do what the talking horn power
wants. He wants everyone to worship God on a different
day than God says to in the 10 Commandments. God's
people who will later be taken to heaven, will refuse to
obey anyone but God on this issue. They will show their
loyalty to God by keeping the Bible Sabbath. The Bible
and the Bible only will be their motto.
(There
is more information about this buffalo power in
Revelation Studies for Children Lesson 16 and Daniel
studies lesson 12 (not up yet)).

In
Revelation 13:11, the Bison also called Buffalo, a lamb
like beast makes everyone have a mark on their foreheads
or hands. If they do not, they cannot buy food. They are
prevented from buying or selling anything. This law is
made to make them so afraid of starving and looking
ragged that they will change their minds. But God's
loyal people who plan to live in heaven, will follow the
Bible instructions. They will say they must keep God's
law. They know that God will provide for them as He did
for Elijah and other people mentioned in the Bible
stories.

Those
who do what Satan wants even when they find out it is wrong,
will get Satan's mark. We do not know what the mark looks like.
The Bible says the name of the beast adds up to the number 666.
When
you decide who to follow, wouldn't it be nice to have the mark
of Jesus in your forehead?
If
you want to know the secret of who this beast is, Revelation
13:14 has the answer. It has the number of a man. The number 666
is what Vicarius Filii Dei comes to in Roman numerals.
In
Daniel 7:21-25 it says that the talking horn on this beast wages
war against saints, subdues three kings, speaks against the Most
High (which is God) and tries to change God's laws.
