What other option do they have? In the midst of this hellish nightmare, the devil suddenly appears. Satan uses incredible displays of signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, the very elect. Matthew His purpose has always been to destroy this world because it is the handiwork of Christ.
The devil will capitalize on the rebellious hearts of the wicked. Because of the miracles that he has power to do, the devil will deceive or destroy everyone but the saints. What is the image of the beast? Who does the beast represent? The beast from the sea in Revelation represents Babylon. The seven heads represent the seven religions of the world and the ten horns represent ten kings who will play a strategic role near the end of the world.
When the majority of Catholics, Jews, Protestants, Moslems, Hindus and all others believe that Satan is actually God, they will be willing to do whatever he demands. Can a human being give too much or do too much for God? The devil will demand that all religions must be dissolved into one religion. Think about this for a moment. If God were physically on Earth to establish His eternal kingdom, how many different churches could He allow?
How many views of God are possible when God is physically among men to reveal what is truth? In short, the devil will form a new composite religion and he will require everyone to leave his old religion behind. His new religion will be designed to dissolve the antagonistic differences between Moslems, Jews, Hindus, Catholics, Protestants, etc. This new church or religion will have a special benefit. All who join it will receive permission to buy and sell.
The wicked will volunteer to receive the mark of the beast, justifying that it is a small price to pay for survival. Meanwhile, the saints will be fed and cared for by angels sent from God.

He was an itinerant lecurer, and wrote under several pseudonyms: Tryon, S. Goulden, Parallax, and Dr. His major work was Earth Not a Globe written in Rowbotham concocted the fiendishly clever idea of light refraction in curved paths to 'save the hypothesis' of the flat earth, to account for what he called the 'optical illusions' of sunrise and sunset.
Rowbotham is the first flat-earther to give the size of the sun: 32 miles in diameter, a figure accepted by flat-earthers today. However, he gave the distance to the sun as miles, a figure hard to reconcile with his value for its diameter. John Hampden vigorously promoted the flat earth idea in England. In Hampden made a bet with naturalist Alfred Wallace on the outcome of a test of the flatness of water in the Old Bedford Canal.
Both sides claimed the test confirmed their view, and flat-earthers to this day assert that "water surfaces have been proved to be flat. Hampden was known for his piety, and his abusive language. Feeling he had been wronged in the Bedford experiment, he buried Wallace in a blizzard of vitriolic pamphlets and letters to the editor. He even resorted to abusing by letter, as this letter to Mrs. Wallace shows. If your infernal thief of a husband is brought home some day on a hurdle, with every bone in his head smashed to a pulp, you will know the reason.
Do you tell him from me he is a lying infernal thief, and as sure as his name is Wallace he never dies in his bed. You must be a miserable wretch to be obliged to live with a convicted felon. Do not think or let him think I have done with him. Hampden thought the sun only miles away, and 32 miles in diameter. These numbers derived from Rowotham, and added nothing new to flat earth theory. After Rowbotham's death in his followers carried on the crusade. Other flat-earthers were active at this time.
She founded and edited a journal Earth from to Scotsman John Alexander Dowie studied at Edinburgh University, then established a pastorate near Sydney Australia, and included flat earth dogma in his theology. In the last decades of the 19th century diverse models of the earth and heavens were actively promoted.
Isaac Newton Vail proposed an annular theory to account for the formation of the earth and planets, but assumed a convex earth. The Gillespian theory put the earth and sun in fixed positions, allowing the earth to rotate. A "conic" theory modeled the shape of the earth as something like a cone, its base being the North polar region, and its apex at the South pole.
There was even a small publication titled The Square World promoting an earth shaped as an inverted soup bowl, the Northern hemisphere being about as we know it, but with the Southern Hemisphere flaring out to a larger rim. It's a mystery why the author describes it as "square", but it has something to do with the Biblical reference to "the four corners of the earth". The New Bedford canal experiment inspired others to measure the flatness of water surfaces. Alexander Gleason, a civil engineer from Buffalo, NY, tested the flatness of the surface of lake Erie.
But not everyone who measured water's flatness got the same result. In Ulysses G. Morrow made such a test on the Old Illinois Drainage Canal, He found the water surface concave upwards. Morrow considered this "the most unmistakable evidence of the water's non-convexity. Seven other sightings were made from Roby, Illinois in , with similar results.
These experiments of both flat and hollow-earth advocates were easily dismissed by critics as simply due to atmospheric refraction. Morrow sought a more convincing method for measuring water surfaces, one that would not use light. In he did the famous Naples experiment in Florida, measuring a nearly 4 mile N-S water surface using a method that did not depend on light. He concluded that the earth was concave, with a radius of a bit over miles.
During the last decades of the 19th century the flat-earthers and hollow earthers paid close attention to each other's experiments, read their opponent's publications, and even corresponded, through the letters sections of their newsletters. Dowie was a faith healer, and the journal Leaves of Healing was the official publication of the church.
The church grew rapidly, and Dowie realized his dream of founding a christian community in , the Zion community located on the Lake Michigan shore, 40 miles north of Chicago. Alexander Dowie. Alexander Dowie drawing by Champe. As the community grew and prospered, Dowie moved away from the simple life he had earlier advocated.
He resided in a 25 room mansion, and designed for himself magnificent ecclesiastical robes, modeled after those worn by Aaron, the High priest, described in Leviticus. Community members thought he was putting on too much 'style' and his wife was criticized as too extravagant. In , after suffering a stroke, Dowie was forced to resign his position. Dowie is rebuked. Wilbur Glenn Voliva. Voliva kept tight control on his followers, which made up the community.
The church schools taught the flat earth doctrine. His , watt radio station broadcast his diatribes against round earth astronomy, and the evils of evolution. In its early years, Zion was a one-religion community. A Scottish lace industry and a bakery were established. Zion brand fig bar cookies and White Dove chocolates originated there. In the town of Zion a strict code of morality was imposed, by law, on all persons who set foot inside city limits.
There it was unlawful for women to wear short dresses, high heels, bathing suits or lipstick. Ham, bacon, oysters, liquor and tobacco were banned, as were drugstores, medical buildings and movie theaters. A ten o'clock curfew was rigidly enforced. You could be arrested for whistling on Sunday. Policemen wore Bibles and clubs on their belts. Irving Wallace interviewed Voliva in Voliva declared that the Bible was his entire scientific library. Astronomers were 'ignorant fools'.
The sun, he said, was only three thousand miles away, and only thirty-two miles in diameter. When asked why he thought the sun so near the earth, he said, "God made the sun to light the earth, and therefore must have placed it close to the task it was designed to do.
What would you think of a man who built a house in Zion and put a lamp to light it in Kenosha, Wisconsin? The Zion communal industries were mostly ruined in the depression. Rival churches made special efforts to send missionaries to Zion to break Voliva's religious monopoly. His political control of the town of Zion was finally broken as well. Voliva died in , and Zion now has pork, lipstick, pharmacies and physicians, and you can safely whistle on Sunday.
Voliva's flat earth map. Modern Mechanics and Invention, October, The church's power declined in the 40s and 50s, partly due to financial scandals. But the church itself still exists, a pale shadow of its former glory.
The White Dove, symbol of Patience. Seal of Zion. I visited Zion in the summer of It's a small lake shore community of middle class homes and pleasant parks and beaches. One immediately recognizes the town's history and heritage in the street signs, for the north-south streets are named for people and places from the Bible: Gideon, Jethro, Galilee, Gilead, Gilboa, Gabriel, Ezra, Ezekiel, Enoch.
When I was there the police cars still carried the town seal, an emblem of the Zion church. A lawsuit had been brought against the town because of this inappropriate use of a religious symbol. Several residents and church members I talked to were very indignant about this attempt to separate church and state.
The original Zion church, a wooden structure, burned in , and has been replaced by a church with modern architectural design. Also gone is the Elijah Hospice, built in It was considered to be the largest wood frame building in the world, with rooms, dining rooms and parlors. It became the Zion retirement hotel and nursing home. Despite efforts to save it as a historical site, it was torn down in the late s and replaced with a modern brick hospital.
Zion now has over one hundred churches of an astonishing variety, including many one-of-a-kind churches. There's even a nuclear power plant adjoining city limits.
