Men of all classes are being educated to receive these marks with hopes of mutual strength and help, and without fear or thought of their impropriety of wicked device. When Antichrist shall finally come, he will find it an easy task to persuade men everywhere to receive this mark of confederation. It will not be so much a password as it will be an outward badge. Those who receive it will be united in the world s last confederation. My third remark is that the receiving of this mark will be a great necessity.
Men join unions for mutual help.
No man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark. Anti Christ will be the king of the whole earth, and he will have all the commercial wealth, provisions, etc., in his hands. He will have the power to make any law he chooses concerning buying and selling. One law he makes will be that no one can buy or sell, except those who receive the mark. Such a state of affairs will make the receiving of this mark almost an absolute necessity.
