WHAT NATION HATH CHANGED ITS GODS?
WHO IS TRYING TO OUTLAW BELIEF IN THE GOD OF THE BIBLE,
THE GOD THAT AMERICANS HAVE LONG KNOWN AND BELIEVED IN?

What you will read on this page (emphases ours)--

  • According to the Library of Congress website (www.loc.gov/exhibits/religion/rel04.html), (the Library is located in Washington, DC), the early Congress of the United States of America gave instructions to import 20,000 Bibles during the war with Britain (the Revolutionary War).
  • Also from the Library of Congress website (www.loc.gov/exhibits/religion/rel04.html), "THE FIRST NATIONAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES, WAS CONVINCED THAT THE "PUBLIC PROSPERITY" OF A SOCIETY DEPENDED ON THE VITALITY OF ITS RELIGION."
  • Congress took steps to see that Christian morality prevailed in the army and the navy. (From the Library of Congress website (www.loc.gov/exhibits/religion/rel04.html))
  • Congress mandated for the navy "that divine services be performed twice a day on board, and a sermon preached on Sundays."
  • From the Library of Congress website (www.loc.gov/exhibits/religion/rel04.html), under "Morality in the Navy"--CONGRESS particularly feared the navy as a source of moral corruption and DEMANDED that skippers of American ships make their men behave....The second article REQUIRED those same COMMANDERS "TO TAKE CARE, THAT DIVINE SERVICES BE PERFORMED TWICE A DAY ON BOARD, AND A SERMON PREACHED ON SUNDAYS."
  • The U.S. Congress officially recommended Robert Aitken's edition of the Bible (it was the Authorized Version of 1611) to the citizens of the United States of America.
  • In 1833, Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story stated that, "The real object of the First Amendment was not to countenance, much less advance, Mohammedanism [following Muhammad/Islam], or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity..."
  • The Founding Fathers--James Madison, known as "The Father of the Constitution", spake on this wise, "THERE IS NOT A SHADOW OF RIGHT IN THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT TO INTERMEDDLE WITH RELIGION. Its LEAST interference with it would be a most flagrant usurpation."
    FLAGRANT, a. Flaming in notice; glaring; notorious, enormous.

    USURPATION, n., The act of SEIZING or occupying and enjoying the property of another, WITHOUT RIGHT; as the usurpation of a throne; the usurpation of the supreme power.

    (Webster's 1828 Dictionary)

  • The inscription on the wall at George Washington's tomb--George Washington is known as the father of our country--is based on the words of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as spoken in John 11:25-26.

  • In light of the clear words of the Constitution and the words of its framers and upholders, it seems obvious that any American official affirmed to uphold the U.S. Constitution (including its first amendment) who

    (1) usurps the Constitutional rights (of freedom of religion and freedom of speech) of Bible-believing American Christians, and,

    (2) who simultaneously encourages the spreading of the religions of other lands--particularly those hostile to the Christian religion and the sovereignty of the United States of America--is standing in the following territory--

    TRAITOR, n. 1. One who violates his allegiance and betrays his country [in this case the Constitution, the law of the land, and the peaceable citizens of the United States]; one guilty of treason; one who, in breach of trust, delivers his country to the enemy...or one who takes arms and levies war against his country; or one who aids an enemy in conquering his country.

    How many have been "on the payroll" taking bribes, accolades, etc. The love of money is the root of all evil. Traitors do not exclude the so-called preachers and false prophets and church people.

Aitken's Bible Endorsed by Congress
The war with Britain cut off the supply of Bibles to the United States with the result that on Sept. 11, 1777, Congress instructed its Committee of Commerce to import 20,000 Bibles from "Scotland, Holland or elsewhere." On January 21, 1781, Philadelphia printer Robert Aitken (1734-1802) petitioned Congress to officially sanction a publication of the Old and New Testament which he was preparing at his own expense. Congress "highly approve the pious and laudable undertaking of Mr. Aitken, as subservient to the interest of religion. . .in this country, and. . .they recommend this edition of the bible [sic] to the inhabitants of the United States." This resolution was a result of Aitken's successful accomplishment of his project.

*** MORE INFORMATION ON THE ROBERT AITKEN BIBLE ***

From my notes--

The Robert Aitken Bible was an edition of the Authorized Version of the Bible published by a man named Robert Aitken. The United States Congress, by Congressional resolution, actually recommended Mr. Aitken's edition of the Bible (it was the Authorized Version) to the inhabitants of the United States in 1782. It is said that no other Bible has ever held this distinction. The following is an excerpt of the resolution taken from a facsimile copy of the 1782 Aitken Bible--
BY THE UNITED STATES IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED:
September 12, 1782

[Our note: the first part of the document (the short recommendation and report) is not included in this excerpt; for this information see the graphical links of the Journals of Congress record for Thursday, September 12, 1782, pages 468 and 469 (the information begins in paragraph three of the record on page 468).]

Whereupon,
RESOLVED
THAT the United States in Congress assembled highly approve the pious and laudable undertaking of Mr. Aitken, as subservient to the interest of religion, as well as an instance of the progress of arts in this country, and being satisfied from the above report of his care and accuracy in the execution of the work, they recommend this edition of the Bible to the inhabitants of the United States, and hereby authorise him to publish this Recommendation in the manner he shall think proper.

*** "THE FIRST NATIONAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES, WAS CONVINCED THAT THE 'PUBLIC PROSPERITY' OF A SOCIETY DEPENDED ON THE VITALITY OF ITS RELIGION." [NOTE: YES, WE QUICKLY BECAME EXTREMELY PROSPEROUS AS A RESULT--A WORLD SUPERPOWER--BUT NOW LOOK AT AMERICA SOCIETY (INCLUDING THE FALSE CHURCH) IN THE WAKE OF FORGETTING THE GOD OF THE HOLY BIBLE (AUTHORIZED VERSION OF 1611). THE ENEMY CAME IN WITHOUT A BULLET AND TOOK OVER OUR INSTITUTIONS.] ***

America was founded by persons who believed in the Bible and the Christian religion. The following excerpt comes from the Library of Congress website (www.loc.gov/exhibits/religion/rel04.html). The Article is entitled, Religion and the Founding of the American Republic, IV. Religion and the Congress of the Confederation, 1774-89--

. . .The first national government of the United States, was convinced that the "public prosperity" of a society depended on the vitality of its religion. Nothing less than a "spirit of universal reformation among all ranks and degrees of our citizens," Congress declared to the American people, would "make us a holy, that so we may be a happy people."

[What the loc.gov page does not mention is that in response to building upon that firm foundation of holiness before the God of the Bible, the United States of America went on, IN SHORT ORDER, TO THE BECOME THE WORLD'S SUPERPOWER. Many other nations wanted what we had--which was freedom [the pope even came out with the Syllabus of Errors condemning the freedom that the countries wanted].

As Rousas John Rushdoony noted in his Volume I of The Institutes of Biblical Law, ". . . the historic power and vitality of the West [in this case, the United States] has been in Biblical faith and law" (page 5). The United States was a free Protestant nation. Everybody did not do the right thing--but so what? nobody is perfect. Somebody keeps on plucking that same string about American slavery--well I am a descendant of slaves (so are Jewish people from their time in Egypt) and I just look at myself as an American and my fellow Americans as Americans.

This once great land is where I got access to the Authorized Version of 1611 of the Bible--and the freedom to read it. Somebody does not like this. Who is it? History, and our monuments show that the American foundation was the Bible. Although the visible church in America has largely fallen away and become infested with errors, America is one of the last places people can be free to read the Bible and make it known to other people. Somebody does not like that and they are seeking to subdue and villanize Christians (whom they call "evangelicals"). They want to shut Christians' mouths. Satan most certainly wants this--and his ministers are furiously doing his bidding, bullying as he goes forward. The devil is come down to us having great wrath because he knoweth that he hath but a short time (reference Revelation 12:12).

Now here we are at the end of time. The time of the falling away, the beast, the false prophet, the great tribulation, and the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to get his people and to judge the world. The dead small and great will stand before God and the books will be opened: and another book will be opened, which is the book of life: and the dead will be judged out of those things which are written in the books, according to their works. The beast, the false prophet, Satan, and whoseover is not found written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire (see Revelation chapter 20).

Back under Bible principles, America--although everyone was not saved--had normalcy and basic standards of decency--but now look--under the devil's do-what-you-feel-like-doing-like-what-you-saw-on-tv-and-learned-in-school-and-books, many children grow up with no father (some children's mothers are not sure who their fathers are) and believe that they are descended from wild animals, many children are just torn apart in the womb by abortion, there are disorders and sins running rampant--ADD, compulsive disorders, murder, child abuse, divorce, gluttony, drunkenness/drug addiction, bullying, robberies and burgularies, naked movies, terrorism, obesity, confusion, panic attacks, rabid pedophiles, pollution, dependency, mental instability, etc.]

*** CONGRESS TOOK STEPS TO SEE THAT CHRISTIAN MORALITY PREVAILED IN THE ARMY AND THE NAVY ***

From the Library of Congress website (www.loc.gov/exhibits/religion/rel04.html), under subtitle, "Morality in the Army" (emphases ours)--

"CONGRESS was apprehensive about the moral condition of the American army and navy and TOOK STEPS TO SEE THAT CHRISTIAN MORALITY PREVAILED IN BOTH ORGANIZATIONS.

How is it now that our American military fighting men are being told that they cannot worship the Lord? How is it that bullies are calling Christians names and terrorizing them? What invader came in here without a gunshot and started taking over our country to the level that America's protectors--our military men--are being told that they cannot practice freedom of religion--a freedom GUARANTEED them by the U.S. Constitution? Who is outlawing what our supreme law guarantees? In the world today, there is a lot of talk about "anti" this and "anti" that, but in reality what we are seeing is, "antichristian" . With a cursory look, we can see aggressors contriving to be the aggrieved while they are the ones openly hostile to Christians, hunting them down where they can find them--the evidence of this is right in front of the eyes of all. Freedom of religion includes freedom of religion for the religion that they hate. Freedom of speech includes freedom of speech for the message that they hate.

The first amendment to the U.S. Constitution (there were those that fought to make sure the first ten amendments were added to the Constitution, freedom lovers should be very glad and thankful for this)--

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

[Who is attempting to upset our national beliefs and military traditions--traditions--traditions that led us to become a world superpower and superior military, the finest in the world? Who condemns what makes him successful? Would any regular person do that? Who is doing this in our military? Where are hostilities coming from? Who is able to get away with this name-calling and bullying of Christians? How do they have such power to get their policy to prosper? The spokespeople are talking about freedom and rights for anybody but Christians. They've declared open season on Christians--including Christian in the United States military. Day by day the screws are being twisted tighter and tighter. They talk about rights but take away our rights (rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution). This is about "antichristian." Shorten that word and you will get to the word "antichrist." That Wicked, that man of sin is coming...

Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

This is a power given--the scriptures must needs be fulfilled. The rampage will continue and worsen, but it will end.

Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

*** CONGRESS MANDATED FOR THE NAVY "THAT DIVINE SERVICES BE PERFORMED TWICE A DAY ON BOARD, AND A SERMON PREACHED ON SUNDAYS."

From the Library of Congress website (www.loc.gov/exhibits/religion/rel04.html), under subtitle, "Morality in the Navy" (emphases ours)--

Congress particularly feared the navy as a source of moral corruption and DEMANDED that skippers of American ships make their men behave....The second article REQUIRED those same COMMANDERS "TO TAKE CARE, THAT DIVINE SERVICES BE PERFORMED TWICE A DAY ON BOARD, AND A SERMON PREACHED ON SUNDAYS."

*** SUPREME COURT JUSTICE JOSEPH STORY***

Joseph Story (1779-1845) served as a U.S. Congressman from 1808-1809 and as a Supreme Court Justice from (1811-1845), he was appointed by James Madison, the father of the Constitution. Justice Story, in his writings, left on record what Americans believed in. He noted that the first amendment was by no means meant to prostrate the Christian religion before other belief systems. The following is excerpted from, "Institute on the Constitution - A Study on Christianty & The Law of the Land, Study Syllabus" [course not being recommended] by John Eidsmoe, J.D., page 76--

[Supreme Court] Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833: "Probably at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, and of the amendment to it now under consideration, the general, if not the universal sentiment was, that Christianity ought to receive encouragement from the state, so far as was not incompatible with the private rights of conscience and the freedom of religious worship. An attempt to level all religions, and to make it a matter of state policy to hold all in utter indifference, would have created universal disapprobation, if not universal indignation. . . The real object of the First Amendment was not to countenance, much less advance, Mohammedanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

That section, "to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government" should be meaningful to anybody who has followed history and known the history of the Roman Catholic Church's relationship to rulers of state/countries. She has made rules then used the state to enforce her unrighteous decrees on others. See,

*** JAMES MADISON, FATHER OF THE CONSTITUTION, STATES THAT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT INTERMEDDLING WITH RELIGION IS "A MOST FLAGRANT USURPATION". IT HAS NO RIGHT TO INTERFERE. ***

The first amendment was designed TO ELIMINATE the interference of the federal government in religious matters.

The following is quoted from The Making of America, The Substance and Meaning of the Constitution by W. Cleon Skousen--

Jefferson and Madison Emphasize the Intent of the Founders

It is clear from the writing of the Founders as well as the Commentaries of Justice Story that the First Amendment was designed to eliminate forever the interference of the federal government in any religious matters within the various states. As [James] Madison [father of the U.S. Constitution] stated during the Virginia ratifying convention: "THERE IS NOT A SHADOW OF RIGHT IN THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT TO INTERMEDDLE WITH RELIGION. ITS LEAST INTERFERENCE WITH IT WOULD BE A MOST FLAGRANT USURPATION."

Jefferson took an identical position when he wrote the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798: "It is true, as a general principle, ...that NO POWER OVER the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, or freedom of the press, [IS] DELEGATED TO THE UNITED STATES BY THE CONSTITUTION. . . All LAWFUL powers respecting the same DID OF RIGHT REMAIN, AND WERE RESERVED to the states, OR TO THE PEOPLE."

It looks like we are in the days of that "most flagrant usurpation"--THE MOST ENORMOUS, HUGE AND GLARING SEIZING OF THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM OF AMERICAN PEOPLE.

"The real object of the First Amendment was NOT to countenance, MUCH LESS ADVANCE, Mohammedanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity..." Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833

But this is exactly what we are seeing today.
Anything and everything outside of being a Bible-believing Christian is magnified and taught--
this is "a most flagrant usurpation."

FLAGRANT, a. Flaming in notice; glaring; notorious, enormous.

USURPATION, n., The act of SEIZING or occupying and enjoying the property of another, WITHOUT RIGHT; as the usurpation of a throne; the usurpation of the supreme power.

(Webster's 1828 Dictionary)

*** THE INSCRIPTION THAT GEORGE WASHINGTON--THE FATHER OF OUR COUNTRY--HAD PLACED ON HIS TOMB ***

The tomb of George Washington (where the coffins of he and his wife are laid side by side) has an inscription prominently displayed on the wall for all visitors to see--a reference to the words of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ--

I am the resurrection
and the life, saith the Lord
he that believeth in me, though
he were dead, yet shall he live;
and whosoever liveth and
believeth in me shall never die
St. John 11:25.26

Here is the passage of scripture--

John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

*** BEING A CHRISTIAN IS NORMAL IN AMERICA--SO WHY IS THERE A WAR AGAINST BIBLE-BELIEVING CHRISTIANS TODAY--WHERE DOES THIS ATTACK COME FROM? ***

In this short survey we found that

In light of the clear words of the Constitution and the words of its framers and upholders, it seems obvious that any American official affirmed to uphold the U.S. Constitution (including its first amendment) who

(1) usurps the Constitutional rights (of freedom of religion and freedom of speech) of Bible-believing American Christians, and,

(2) who simultaneously encourages the spreading of the religions of other lands--particularly those hostile to the Christian religion and the sovereignty of the United States of America--is standing in the following territory--

TRAITOR, n. 1. One who violates his allegiance and betrays his country [in this case the Constitution, the law of the land, and the peaceable citizens of the United States]; one guilty of treason; one who, in breach of trust, delivers his country to the enemy...or one who takes arms and levies war against his country; or one who aids an enemy in conquering his country.

How many have been "on the payroll" taking bribes, accolades, etc. The love of money is the root of all evil. Traitors do not exclude the so-called preachers and false prophets and church people.

Who is in America scrambling up and revising our history and our Bible and our beliefs and hiding the truth from our children and villanizing our ways before our own children in textbooks and teaching them alternative "spiritualities"? And who is now trying to make it illegal to be a Bible-believing Christian--lately I have come across items such as, "Soldiers in the U.S. military have been told in a training briefing that evangelical Christians are the number one extremist threat to America" [found at exposingsatanism.org]. When a normal, unbrainwashed person thinks of a terrorist, a Bible-believing Christian never comes to mind--we do not steal, kill, and destroy. We try to help and not hinder. Bible-believing Christians are no threat to America, we are normal and law abiding according to the rules of the country, the United States Constitution. That being the case, exactly who is the author of what James Madison called a "most flagrant usurpation"--the situation where the United States government is intermeddling with religion (very specificallly with people who believe the Bible)? exactly who is it that is so concerned with emptying America of saved, know-what-is-going-on, Bible-believing Christians?

The Authorized Version of 1611 of the Bible reveals that that old serpent called the Devil and Satan is the prince of the power of the air and the god of this world. In addition to his devils, Satan has human agents and ministers. The devil and his people have targeted a very specific group of people to war against--those which KEEP the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ (reference Revelation 12:17). The wicked will war against the saints until the days are shortened for the elect's sake and the Lord Jesus Christ returns for his own. Then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other (reference Matthew 24:30-31).

Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. WOE TO THE INHABITERS OF THE EARTH AND OF THE SEA! FOR THE DEVIL IS COME DOWN UNTO YOU, HAVING GREAT WRATH, BECAUSE HE KNOWETH THAT HE HATH BUT A SHORT TIME.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. [our note: the devil is persecuting God's church, Israel was the church in the wilderness, she gave birth to the Messiah who died for Jew and Gentile and both are now one in the Lord.]
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. [a flood of lies and deceptions abound]
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 13:1 AND I stood upon the sand of the sea, and SAW A BEAST RISE UP OUT OF THE SEA, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and THE DRAGON GAVE HIM HIS POWER, AND HIS SEAT, AND GREAT AUTHORITY.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and HIS DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED: and ALL THE WORLD WONDERED AFTER THE BEAST.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? [people will worship the devil and the beast]
5 AND THERE WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM A MOUTH SPEAKING GREAT THINGS AND BLASPHEMIES; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 MANY SHALL BE PURIFIED, AND MADE WHITE, AND TRIED; BUT THE WICKED SHALL DO WICKEDLY: AND NONE OF THE WICKED SHALL UNDERSTAND; BUT THE WISE SHALL UNDERSTAND.

[1] "evangelical" is actually an adjective, not a noun, meaning "1. According to the gospel; consonant to the doctrines and precepts of the gospel, published by Christ and his apostles. 2. Contained in the gospel; as an evangelical doctrine. 3. SOUND IN THE DOCTRINES OF THE GOSPEL; orthodox; as an evangelical preacher." (reference Webster's 1828 entry for evangelical). Everybody that they call an "evangelical" is not necessarily a Bible-believing Christian (there are many false brethren), but every real Bible-believing Christian is an evangelical Christian, sound in the doctrines of the gospel.
