In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be employed by the church to accomplish her own ends.... {Mar 169.2}

及至人要用法律来强迫人守星期日，而世人看明自己对于守真安息日的义务之后，那时凡干犯上帝的命令而顺从一种单凭罗马教的权威而制定之条例的人，就是尊敬教皇过于尊敬上帝了。他正是向罗马教致敬，也是向那执行教皇所定之法令的权力致敬。他正是拜兽和兽像了。此后，人若拒绝上帝所宣布为祂权威印记的制度，而尊敬罗马教所用来标志其最高权力的制度，他们就此接受效忠罗马教的印记，也就是“兽的印记”了。惟有在这场争论明显地摆在民众之前，并要他们在守上帝的诫命与守人的法令二者选择其一之后，那些继续违背上帝律法的人就要受“兽的印记”了。……{Mar 169.3}
主必快来-第162章
When Sunday observance shall be enforced by law, and the world shall be enlightened concerning the obligation of the true Sabbath, then whoever shall transgress the command of God, to obey a precept which has no higher authority than that of Rome, will thereby honor popery above God. He is paying homage to Rome and to the power which enforces the institution ordained by Rome. He is worshiping the beast and his image. As men then reject the institution which God has declared to be the sign of His authority, and honor in its stead that which Rome has chosen as the token of her supremacy, they will thereby accept the sign of allegiance to Rome—“the mark of the beast.” And it is not until the issue is thus plainly set before the people, and they are brought to choose between the commandments of God and the commandments of men, that those who continue in transgression will receive “the mark of the beast.” ... {Mar 169.4}

斗争的结果必使全基督教界分为两大阵营：一边是守上帝诫命和耶稣真道的，另一边则是拜兽和兽像并受他印记的。虽然教会与政府要联合一致，用权力逼迫“众人，无论大小贫富，自主的为奴的，”叫他们受“兽的印记”（启13:16），但上帝的子民却不肯接受，拔摩岛上的先知曾看见“那些胜了兽和兽的像，并他名字数目的人，都站在玻璃海上，拿着上帝的琴，唱上帝仆人摩西的歌，和羔羊的歌”（启15:2-3）。（GC.443，445，449，450）{Mar 169.4}
主必快来-第162章
In the issue of the contest all Christendom will be divided into two great classes—those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and those who worship the beast and his image and receive his mark. Although church and state will unite their power to compel “all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond” (Revelation 13:16), to receive “the mark of the beast,” yet the people of God will not receive it. The prophet of Patmos beholds “them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God” and singing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Revelation 15:2, 3.27 {Mar 169.5}
