The Mark of the Beast controversy assaults the first 4 on the table of God's Commandments:
1) Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Exodus 20:3
It replaces via worship as God with the "Beast".
2) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; Exodus 20:4,5
It replaces the worship of God with an "Image" to the Beast.
3) Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Exodus 20:7
It blasphemes the name of God by taking the place of God in adoration, veneration and worship.
4) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou
labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work....For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:8-11
It replaces God's Holy Sabbath Day (seal) with it's own counterfeit (mark).....the 7th day Sabbath is the Seal that identifies God as CREATOR---therefore He alone is God.
