Despite that there are quite possibly more doctrines and theories regarding the mark vs the seal than any other biblical topic, there must be one truth, and that one truth must be substantiated by the source of all truth - The Word of Yah. These pages, the sections below, and the menu of topics regarding the mark of the beast will be aimed at proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Conference has, is, and will continue enforcing the mark of the beast on the faithful few who stand in protest. This page is aimed at giving an introduction to our stance, as well as various facts and quotes that will spark interest, and hopefully, arouse the conscience to further study.
Should any questions arise or be unsettled on the matter upon review, please email us, and we will contact you as soon as possible. May we ask in advance that you please be valid and civil in your questioning, due to the many "flame" messages we have received for holding this banner high; We do not do this work out of hate for our fallen brethren, but out of love for those deceived. Revealing the error of an apostate body is never a joyful work for any involved; However the truth must be made known to the world before the end shall come, and we take solemnly the charge our Lord has set before us; to "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins." (Is. 58:1)

A. Revelation 13:17
"he [the two-horned beast] provides that no one should be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name."
Consider the following table:
|
"buy or sell" |
trade |
|
"the mark" |
mark |
|
"the name of the beast" |
name |
|
"the number of his name" |
registration number |
To "buy or sell" = Trade
Having "the mark" = Mark
"The name of the beast" = Name
"The number of his name" = The Registration Number
The "Mark of the Beast" Is Imposed
Only on a "Small Remnant""An apostate church will unite with the powers of earth and hell to place upon the forehead or in the hand, the mark of the beast, and prevail upon the children of God to worship the beast and his image. They will seek to compel them to renounce their allegiance to God's law . . . . Then will the gold be separated from the dross . . . ."
Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, November 8, 1892. When the time of Jacob's trouble comes,
"The seal of the living God is upon His people. This small remnant, unable to defend themselves . . . make God their defense. The decree has been passed by the highest earthly authority that ['this small remnant'] shall worship the beast and receive his mark under pain of persecution and death."Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 213. "At the time when the danger and depression of the church are greatest,
THE LITTLE COMPANY [Creation 7th Day Adventists] who are standing in the light will be sighing and crying for the abominations that are done in the land. But more especially will their prayers arise in behalf of the [SDA] church because its' members are doing after the manner of the world . . . . They lament and afflict their souls because pride, avarice, selfishness, and deception of almost every kind are in the [SDA] church."Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, pp. 209-210. "The SAINTS [Creation 7th Day Adventists] will be AN OBSCURE PEOPLE, but little known to the Catholics, but the [SDA] church and nominal Adventists will know of our faith and customs, and will betray the saints and report them . . . ."
