"Revelation 13 says that America (the second beast) deceives the world "IN THE SIGHT OF THE FIRST BEAST" (the first beast being the Papacy). Take a look at the picture. Donald Trump talks about a possible government shutdown. And who is he flanked by? THREE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS. Yes, Rome has power in America. The Image of the beast is created (church-state union) and all it needs is "power to speak and cause" the world to worship the beast and take it's mark. It's coming friends!"
The very power that the early settlers in America were fleeing from, THE PAPACY, is the very power that now has it's GRIP upon the American government! The Roman Catholic Church has been an enemy of God's people for thousands of years, but when she lost her power in 1798, she then had to 'tolerate' Protestantism, until she regained a position where she could influence again.
"The pacific tone of Rome in the United States does not imply a change of heart. She is tolerant where she is helpless. Says Bishop O'Connor: Religious liberty is merely endured until the opposite can be carried into effect without peril to the Catholic world." (Josiah Strong, Our Country, 1885 P.47)
But as Revelation 13 confirms, Rome will use someone else to do her final work. She will use her 'daughters', the fallen Protestant churches, who are now uniting with the state to so called 'bring God back' to America. The problem is, the 'god' which the fallen Protestant churches will bring to America, will be the god of Rome, who's 'mark' is the false Sunday sabbath, in place of God's TRUE 7th day Sabbath. The image of the beast (image of the Papacy) has already been created in America, through the uniting of the Protestant churches/leaders and the state. And one day soon, this image of the Papacy in America will 'cause the world' to take the mark!
