On which day was the wave sheaf (Heb. "omer") to be offered? "And he [High Priest] shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow (Heb. mimohorat) after the sabbath..." (Lev. 23:11). But which sabbath? The Pharisees (and modern Jews) took this word &q ...

John saw a beast having "two horns like a lamb," but it spoke as a dragon! It imposed the MARK of the first "beast." What is this second lamb-like "beast"? SATAN has his civil government on earth.
