Beast.

Recent converts are either unaware, or unwilling to accept the official historic position of their church. Although their first reaction is, "My church doesn't teach that!" read the proof for yourself! It is still the official teaching today, except they teach it with flowery speech!
Proof the official doctrine of the Seventh-day Adventist churches is that
the Mark of the beast is those who worship on Sunday.
"Sunday-keeping must be the mark of the beast." ... "The reception
of his mark must be something that involves the greatest offense that can
be committed against God." (The Marvel of Nations, Elder U. Smith pages
170, 183)
"Here we find the mark of the beast. The very act of changing the
Sabbath into Sunday, on the part of the Catholic church, without any
authority from the Bible." (Ellen G. White, The Mark of the Beast, page 23)
"The Sunday Sabbath is purely a child of the Papacy. It is the mark
of the beast." (Advent Review, Vol. I, No. 2, August, 1850.)
"The change of the Sabbath is the sign or mark of the authority of
the Romish church." ... "The keeping of the counterfeit Sabbath is the
reception of the mark." (Ellen G. White, Great Controversy, Vol. 4, page
281.
"The mark of the beast is Sunday-keeping. A law will enforce this
upon Seventh-day Adventists. They won't obey. Then they will be outlawed,
persecuted, and condemned to death! Of all the wild Advent speculations in
the prophecies, this deserves to stand among the wildest." (Seventh-day
Adventism Renounced" by D.M. Canright, 1914)
"Sunday-keeping is an institution of the first beast, and ALL who
submit to obey this institution emphatically worship the first beast and
receive his mark, 'the mark of the beast.' .... Those who worship the beast
and his image by observing the first day are certainly idolaters, as were
the worshippers of the golden calf." (Advent Review Extra, pages 10 and 11,
August, 1850)
"the Seventh day, Saturday, must be kept; that keeping Sunday is the
mark of the beast; that all should pay tithes; that Mrs. White is inspired
as were the writers of the Bible; that the Bible must be interpreted to
harmonize with her writings" (Seventh-day Adventism Renounced" by D.M.
Canright, 1914)

The Mark Of The Beast And The Seal Of God
("Now That's Clear!" 1994 AD By Leo Schreven. Leo was once a paid minister
of the Seventh-day Adventist church and various evangelistic organizations.
Today, he continues to conduct numerous "All Power seminar" presentations.
Level Two is the "It Is Written" Bible Prophecy Seminar, where he continues
to promote the Seventh-day Adventist church and Ellen G. White, inspired
prophet for the Seventh-day Adventist church.)
In this article, reproduced in it entirety, you will notice that
"Sunday-keeping" (not keeping the Sabbath/Saturday) is the mark of the
beast. You will also notice that Sunday-keepers will be condemned.

The Mark Of The Beast And The Seal Of God
PROPHECY SEMINARS: LESSON 18
... "Now, what is the Mark of the beast? It's a simple step by step
counterfeit of receiving the Seal of God. Let's turn back to the prophecy
in Daniel 7:25, "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and
shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and
laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the
dividing of time." He would change times and laws. The first step the Beast
must counterfeit is God's law. Why? Because the "law" is sealed in the
saints who follow God. Notice though it also changes "times." Only the
fourth commandment deals with times."
The second step to counterfeit the seal is Daniel 8:12, "And an host was
given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it
CAST DOWN THE TRUTH TO THE GROUND; and it practiced, and prospered." He
would "cast down the truth." Why? Because it's again the truth that is
sealed in the saints forehead. And so we see a perfect fulfillment. We have
seen the Papal Roman power change the law, both the second, tenth and the
fourth commandment dealing with times, and counterfeiting many of God's
truths.
... "The true God was worshiped on Saturday, the seventh day. So Papal Rome
had to change the law, and the day of worship to Sunday, so they could be
worshipped."
... "Faith of Our Fathers, p. 14, C.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal
Gibbons: "Of course the Catholic church claims that the change was her act.
And the act is the MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in
religious matters."
"Thus the way was opened to lead people to worship the Beast, and receive
his mark. Also the way was opened to "worship the image of the beast." An
image is a replica of an original. There are millions of people who are not
"worshiping the beast," but they do worship its image. Many churches today
are nothing more than an image of the Papal Church. They may have a
different name, but they are following the same false teachings,
traditions, and commandments of men. False teachings like baptism by
sprinkling, the immortal soul, Sunday worship, eternal hell-fire, et
cetera, are all from the Beast. If we choose to worship in a church that
follows these teachings, we are simply following an image of the Beast.
That's why God's call is to come out of Babylon to follow Jesus and truth."
"Let's see step by step how a person receives the Mark of the beast in
their forehead. As we continue on in 2 Thessalonians 2, we come to verse
10. "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved."
"Here is the first step to receiving the Mark of the beast: Refusing to
love the "truth" (the truth is what is sealed in the saints). So the first
step is simple, you don't have to do anything wrong, you just refuse to do
what's right."
"The second step in receiving the Mark of the beast is in verse 11, "And
for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should
believe a lie." What is that lie? First John 2:3-4, "And hereby we do know
that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him,
and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."
Believe the lie that you can still go to heaven while breaking the law.
Rather than loving Jesus and keeping His commandments, people choose to
follow the Beast's lie."
"The third step is found in verse 12, "That they all might be damned who
believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." They are
damned for not believing the truth. Rather than being comforted by the
Spirit who leads to Jesus Christ, they stand condemned for following the
Antichrist. Because of their willful decision to follow the Beast, its
false teachings and practices, the Beast's name is in their forehead and
they are lost having received the Mark of the beast. The process is a step
by step counterfeit of the Holy Spirit's work to give us the Seal of God."
