HIN: The United States’ Evil Eye, Europe, Freemasons, 666, and the Mark of the Beast
The Great Seal of the United States
(Via Wikipedia)
Various ones have pointed to the ‘Great Seal of the United States’ which is shown on the back of the US one dollar bill and (as seen above) as used by the US Secretary of State as proof that the United States of America is the ‘666’ Beast of Revelation.
This week, Health Impact News put out the following:
The Bewitching of America with the Evil Eye and the Mark of the Beast
November 21, 2024
The truth is that America is fulfilling its destiny, and that most people in America are now under a “bewitchment”, a spell that has been cast upon them, the spell of the “evil eye”, as they welcome the mark of the beast as prophesied in the last book of the Bible, Revelation. …
To put one’s faith in Donald Trump, RFK Jr. or any man to give “freedom”, is idolatry, which is the greatest of all sins, and breaks the first of the Ten Commandments given to Moses: “You shall have no other gods before me.”
The United States was Founded by Freemasons and the Evil Eye is on the American Seal and Our Currency
The United States is a former colony of Great Britain, and many of the “founders” of the United States were Satanic Freemasons, as in the 18th Century Freemasonry was flourishing with Freemason lodges throughout the U.K. and Europe. …
The fact is that the United States, one of the youngest nations in the world that is less than 250 years old, was founded with the evil Satanic spell of the “evil eye” which is on the Seal of the United States as well on our currency.
The Latin phrase on the Seal of the United States literally means “New World Order.”
This represents 666, the symbol of man, and this “mark of the beast” is found everywhere within American culture. https://healthimpactnews.com/2024/the-bewitching-of-america-with-the-evil-eye-and-the-mark-of-the-beast/
Yes, many of the founders of the United States were Freemasons.
Yes, there are a lot of Freemason symbols associated with the government of the United States (including buildings and the layouts of many in Washington, D.C.).
Yes, there can be connections between the “eye” on the seal and various “evil eye” uses in Satanic paganism.
While, Novus Ordo Seculorum can imply “New Word Order,” literally it means the “New Order of the Centuries.”
But no, neither the United States nor its seal are the Beast, the Mark of the Beast, nor 666.
Before going further, over a decade ago, someone claimed that the Great Seal, as well as Jesus, pointed to the Apocalypse starting in 2012. That was wrong and I denounced it at that time (see ‘Great Seal’ Does Not Predict 2012).
While the United States does have a lot of pagan symbols, it simply is not the Beast of Revelation.
World history, as well as various scriptures, point to this being a European power.
This Beast power is European and has connections to a particular sea. Notice:
1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:1-4)
2 Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. 3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. 4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. 5 “And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’ 6 “After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it. 7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. (Daniel 7:2-7)
The “Great Sea” that bordered the ancient lands of Israel (Numbers 34:6-7; Joshua 1:4; 9:1; 23:4; Ezekiel 47:13-16) is the Mediterranean Sea–and that is the sea that Daniel was referring to. Despite some false claims by some, the Beast power is not a place like the United States which does not border the Mediterranean Sea, but Europe which does.
Furthermore Revelation 17 talks of the rise of seven/eight kings of the Beast:
7 But the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 “Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. 11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition. (Revelation 17:7-11).
We do not see that in the history of the United States, but we do in Europe.
Without going into all the details, here is a chart consistent with Revelation 17:7-11:
Chart of Kings/Dynasties of the Revival of Rome as the ‘Holy Roman Empire’
Kingdom with a relationship to a type of ‘Holy Roman Empire’ Date(s) of Reign Number in Revelation 17:10 Justinian’s Imperial Restoration 554 – c. 797 1 Charlemagne’s Frankish Kingdom 800 -c. 905 2 Otto the Great of the ‘Holy Roman Empire’ 955 – c. 1137 3 Hohenstaufen dynasty 1138 – 1268 4 Habsburg dynasty;

1806 – 19585 European Economic Union/
European Union1958 – 1993
1993 – Present6 Final King of the North Beast Future for 42 months 7
The seventh king will rise up soon. More on that can be found in the article The European Union and the Seven Kings of Revelation 17. We also put out the following related sermon:
1:13:56
European Union & 7 Kings of Revelation 17:10
Could the European Union be involved in biblical prophecies? If so, which ones? What did the EU form from? Did the little horn of Benelux grow larger towards the south and east as Daniel prophesied? What about the seven kings of Revelation 17:10? Could they be connected to the so-called ‘Holy Roman Empire’? What is the ‘Marian’ EU flag based upon? Might the seven kings be Justinian’s Imperial Restoration, Charlemagne’s Frankish Empire, the ‘Holy Roman Empire’ of Otto the Great, the Hohenstaufen Dynasty, the Habsburg Dynasty, the European Economic Community/European Union, and the Beast of the Sea of Revelation 13? What about Napoleon or Benito Mussolini/Adolf Hitler? Did Otto von Habsburg renounce his right to the title ‘Holy Roman Emperor’ in the same year that the European Economic Union (aka the Common Market) formed in 1958? Did the EEU last until the EU was formed in 1993? What about the beast that “was, and is not” and “now is’? What about the beast that “is also the eighth, and is of the seven”? What have Roman Catholic and Protestant scholars taught? What about Church of God groups and writers including Andrew Dugger and Herbert W. Armstrong? What are some of the religious connections between the Church of Rome and Europe? What about private prophecies related to the ‘Great Monarch’? Could those looking for the Great Monarch miss the Beast and Antichrist according to Roman Catholic writer Paul Thigpen? Could the final Antichrist be an antipope? Is the the Mediterranean Sea the sea that the Beast of Revelation 13 rises from? How does the EU resemble the ‘Holy Roman Empire’? Could the EU be the sixth king of Revelation 17:10? Might the United Nations be involved and support the rise of the seventh king? Is the EU setting the stage for the seventh king? Dr. Thiel addresses these matters and more.
Here is a link to the sermon video: European Union & 7 Kings of Revelation 17:10.
The Bible teaches that Europe will reorganize to become a dictatorship:
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)
Related to 666, the Bible prophesies:
15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)
As far as 666 pointing to something in Europe, the first writing that has been found that suggests that a Roman, or Roman empire, is 666 was by Irenaeus, who claimed to have listened to Polycarp when he (Irenaeus) was a young man. Irenaeus wrote:
Then also Lateinos (LATEINOS) has the number six hundred and sixty-six; and it is a very probable [solution], this being the name of the last kingdom [of the four seen by Daniel]. For the Latins are they who at present bear rule: (Irenaeus. Adversus haereses, Book V, Chapter 30, Verse 3. Excerpted from Ante-Nicene Fathers, Volume 1. Edited by Alexander Roberts & James Donaldson. American Edition, 1885).
The New Testament was written in Greek, and John penned the Book of Revelation on the Greek speaking island of Patmos (Revelation 1:9). They still speak Greek there. Anyway, adding up the values of the Greek letters for the word Lateinos brings you to 666:
L = 30 lambda A = 1 alpha T = 300 tau E = 5 epsilon I = 10 iota N = 50 nu O = 70 omicron S = 200 sigma ——– 666
This is consistent with what the old Worldwide Church of God taught:
In the 2nd century A.D., Irenaeus, disciple of Polycarp, the Apostle John’s disciple, explained that in Greek the word Lateinos — meaning “Latin man” or Roman — adds up to 666. (L = 30; A = 1; T = 300; E = 5; I = 10; N = 50; 0 = 70; S = 200) This, he stated, was the, intent of the scripture.
The number 666 is thus anciently branded on the old Roman Empire and its revivals. (Stump KW. Just What Do You Mean… ANTICHRIST? Plain Truth, September 1981)
Notice that the number is six hundred sixty six. It is not just three 6s in a row like some have asserted and attempted to tie to various leaders in the United States.
As far as the Freemasons go, they still have influence, but they are much stronger in Europe now than in the United States.
Regarding Freemasons, Europe, and prophecy, the Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce this sermon from its ContinuingCOG channel:
What is Freemasonry? How long has it been around? Does Freemasonry point to cataclysms, such as Armageddon in 2022? Were many US founders and presidents Freemasons? Is there a difference between the USA/UK Freemasons and those in continental Europe? Can a biblical Christian be a Freemason? Are Roman Catholics allowed to be Freemasons? Do the Freemasons have a plan that includes an ecumenical Pope? Are Rotarians Freemasons? What about the Illuminati? Are many conspiracies about the Freemasons false? Could Freemasonry play a role in the rise of Europe and the destruction of the Church of Seven Hills?
Here is a link to the sermon: Freemasonry, Armageddon, and Rome.
That said, although there are a lot of pagan symbols associated with the USA, there are also others associated with Europe.
Here is a view of a two Euro coin I picked up in Greece:
That coin clearly depicts a woman riding a Beast. The “woman” is called Europa, which is where the word in English, Europe, comes from.
Europe also has various ties to Babylon as well (see Europa, the Beast, and Revelation).
Related to the Mark of the Beast we also have the following sermon:
What is the ‘Mark of the Beast’? Who actually is the Beast? What does the Bible teach about the ‘mark of the beast’? What have some suspected that the mark may be throughout history? Is there a church that has taught that it may persecute those who do not have a particular mark? Could crosses, statues, rosaries, images of ‘Mary,’ or something physical be or be related to the mark of the beast? What about 666? What does that mean? Could Sunday be a mark of the beast?
Here is a link to the sermon: What is the ‘Mark of the Beast’?
The United States is not 666 nor the prophesied Beast.
Nor is it the two-horned Beast of the earth of Revelation 13:11 as SDA Ellen White declared (see SDA/CCOG Differences: Two Horned Beast of Revelation and 666).

SDA/CCOG Differences: Two Horned Beast of Revelation and 666 The genuine Church of God is NOT part of the Seventh-day Adventists. This article explains two prophetic differences, the trinity, differences in approaching doctrine, including Ellen White. Did Ellen White make prophetic errors? Did Ellen White make false prophecies? Here is a version in the Spanish language: SDA/COG Diferencias: La bestia de dos cuernos de Apocalipsis y 666. Here are two sermons in the English language: Seventh Day Baptists/Adventists/Messianics: Protestant or COG? and CCOG and SDA differences and similarities. Here is a link to an article in the Spanish language: Diferencias: SDA/CCOG: La bestia de dos cuernos de Apocalipsis y 666.
Europa, the Beast, and Revelation Where did Europe get its name? What might Europe have to do with the Book of Revelation? What about “the Beast”? Is an emerging European power “the daughter of Babylon”? What is ahead for Europe? Here is are links to related videos: European history and the Bible, Europe In Prophecy, The End of European Babylon, and Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European? Here is a link to a related sermon in the Spanish language: El Fin de la Babilonia Europea.
The European Union and the Seven Kings of Revelation 17 Could the European Union be the sixth king that now is, but is not? Here is a link to the related sermon video: European Union & 7 Kings of Revelation 17:10.
Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations? Some claim that these passages refer to a gathering of 10 currently existing nations together, while one group teaches that this is referring to 11 nations getting together. Is that what Revelation 17:12-13 refers to? The ramifications of misunderstanding this are enormous. Here is a link to a related sermon in the Spanish language: ¿Deben los Diez Reyes gobernar sobre diez naciones? A related sermon in the English language is titled: Ten Kings of Revelation and the Great Tribulation.
