"One cannot claim to be heirs to God’s
promise of salvation and at the same time reject the terms of His
covenant with them.
---The seal of that covenant is His Sabbath Commandment
(Exodus 20:8–11).
---Not unlike the presidential seal, let’s say, God’s
Sabbath displays His name: Lord God. 
It gives His title: Creator. It
shows the territory over which He rules: the heavens and the earth. To
reject His seal of authority is tantamount to worshiping the beast and
receiving its mark.
Q: And how does one receive this mark on the
forehead and on the right hand?
---The forehead is the place where the
frontal lobe is located. It is the part of the brain where, among other
things, we make moral decisions.
Q: Does anyone have the Mark of the Beast
at this moment?
A: Absolutely not.
Q: Does going to church on Sunday without
knowing God’s truth constitute having the Mark of the Beast?
A: Again,
definitely not. According to God’s word (Revelation 13:12–17), it is
when a universal decree in America and around the world goes forth to
compel all inhabitants of earth to honor Sunday as sacred that the Mark
of the Beast will be enforced.
---At that time, each will have to make a
choice:
Q: Will you worship the God of Creation by obeying His command to
keep His Sabbath day holy, or will you follow after the Beast by receiving its Mark, Sunday sacredness?"
