The Mark of the Beast Explained: Sunday Law and the Coming Global Crisis

The mark of the beast isn't a barcode or a microchip — according to Bible prophecy, it's tied to the union of church and state, and Pastor Andrew Russell shows exactly how current Sunday law developments are setting the stage for it. Continuing part two of "The Loud Cry," this message walks through Revelation 13 and 18, explaining why the image of the beast represents a religious-political alliance and how recent U.S. legislative moves — from the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 to state-level Sunday rest bills — echo warnings written in the Great Controversy over a century ago. Drawing from Daniel and Revelation, Andrew Russell traces the loud cry of Revelation 18, the meaning of "Babylon is fallen, is fallen," and why Sabbath reform has to begin at home before it can be shared with the world. He also touches on the growing push for religious liberty restrictions tied to Sunday legislation. The message closes with the true story of Samuel Mitchell, the first Seventh Day Adventist to die under a Sunday law in the United States, and a direct challenge: are you prepared to stand when your faith is tested?
