Reception of Mark of the Beast Future—The change of the Sabbath is the sign or mark of the authority of the Romish church. Those who, understanding the claims of the fourth commandment, choose to observe the false sabbath in the place of the true, are thereby paying homage to that power by which alone it is commanded. The mark of the beast is the papal sabbath, which has been accepted by the world in the place of the day of God’s appointment. {Ev 234.1}

Modtager det fremtidige dyrs mærke. - Forandringen af sabbaten er tegnet eller mærket på romerkirkens autoritet. Dem som, i forståelsen af det fjerde buds krav, vælger at overholde den falske sabbat i stedet for den sande, hylder derved den magt som den er befalet ved. Dyrets mærke er pavedømmets sabbat, som verden har accepteret i stedet for Guds udpegede dag.
