Probably the strangest view of the mark of the beast can be found among the Seventh Day Adventists. Because they are so unscripturally obsessed with the Saturday Sabbath, they have dreamed up a new way to oppose the worship of God on Sunday. They think the mark of the beast is Sunday worship! Below is an actual email we received from an SDA person on this. (All cap emphasis is his):
The mark of the beast is not a chip or anything of that sort. The Bible say in Rev. 14:6-12, if we worship with the beast and his image we will receive the spiritual mark of the. There are only 2 days of worship in the entire world, and thats either Saturday or sunday. One of these 2 days belong to Christ and that day is the Sabbath (saturday). Sunday came to the church through the pagan church. The book of Hebrews 4: 4-11 says that the christian still owe Jesus a Sabbath day of worship. When the national sunday law is enforced by Congress and the state (Rev. 13), we will be facing the mark of the beast. If sunday is chosen over the Saturday Sabbath we all will receive it’s mark. Jesus kept the Saturday Sabbath; Jesus is my example. I would like to hear from you. SUNDAY WORSHIP IS THE SPIRITUAL MARK OF THE BEAST!!!!!!!
Not only is that strange and unscriptural, it is also very dangerous for the SDA. Why is it dangerous for them? When the mark of the beast is finally issued, the SDA people will take the mark of the beast not recognizing it to be what it is, because they have been deceived into thinking it is Sunday worship.
NOTE: It is also very easy to disprove the false concept that Sunday worship is the mark of the beast. Since one must have the mark of the beast to buy or sell (Rev. 13:16,17), then if one can buy or sell without Sunday worship, then Sunday worship can’t be the mark of the beast.
