(rev.13:18) on the pope's crown (tiara) are these letters: vicarius filii dei; what do they signify? our sunday visitor, (catholic weekly) bureau of information," huntington, ind., april 18, 1915. roman numerals for these letters are: v=5; i=1; c=100; x=10; u=5; d=500; l=50 = they add up to 666.  *now we have alot of information about the beast; to start out with; we should find out (2thess.2:4) "who claims to be god" and is "worshipped"?  let's see; this church (rev.17:9)"sits on 7 hills" in rome. it wears (rev.17:4)"purple and scarlet". it is a (rev.17:5)"mother church", so it has daughters or other churches following her. it will think (dan.7:25)"to change times and laws." general catholic catechism it even has casted "all the truth to the ground" = dan.8:12 "all the world has followed it" = rev.13:12-15 *it had a(rev.13:1-3)deadly wound that was healed. the catholic advocate (australia), april 18,1929. front pg. of s.f. chronicle with headline "heal wound of many years"; feb.12,1929)  *daniel 2:32,38; 7:4; 3:1 "head of gold" = lion = babylon = king nebuchadnezzar *daniel 2:32: 7:5: 5:25-28; 6:28; 8:20 "breast and arms of silver" = bear = medo-persia = king darius & cyrus *daniel 2:32; 7:6: 8:21 "belly and thighs of brass" = leopard = greece = alexander the great *daniel 2:33; 7:7,8,24,25: 8:9,12 "legs of iron" = dreadful beast = rome *daniel 2:33 "feet part of iron and part of clay" = divided empire  **now the 10 horns represents kings or kingdoms and 1 comes up among the them and destroys (daniel 7:8,23,24)three. the 10 horns are political: anglo-saxons, franks, alammi, ostrogoths, lombard, suevi, burgundians, visigoths, vandals, heruli, and then a little horn comes upon the scene that is religious-political that has destroyed the heruli, vandals and ostrogoths. now determining who the horn is: a.c. flick, the rise of the mediaeval church. (putnam's 1909 ed.)pp.148-149. *from all the clues; we know it's the roman empire (rev.17:4; compare to matt.27:28 and mark 15:17   actually the mark of the beast is what people don't understand! it's very simple really; you have to do the opposite of it.  the opposite of the mark is the "seal of god" which is in the 4th commandment(exod.20:8-11; rev.14:7). now look what rev.7:2-3 says "and i saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living god: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea. saying, hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our god in their foreheads." so if you keep saturday holy(jn.4:22-24) and follow jesus christ faith; you will have the(rev.14:12) "seal of god". but if you don't keep his day(mark) and follow the catholic church(image); he will give you this(rev.14:9-11).  really his image is going to come alive! when he puts church and state together. here's just a piece of it in--"pope's dream of healing christian rift still a distant glimmer" in enterprise record dated: sunday june 12, 2005.  to be such means "and the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. these both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."--rev.19:20   the system is made up of:  true christianity vs. false christianity following jesus(col.2:6) or not following jesus(phil.2:21). the choice is yours!    for more information about the beast or other topics; see:
