earth below and set the carved images on a flag and the flag is high and lifted up on a flag pole... Some nations are serving the stars, the moon, and the sun, and others are serving the eagle, the bear, and the tree... The U.S. is serving the stars of heaven and the eagle of the

with the carved images of the flag, God calls this IDOLATRY... The mark of the beast in the right hand or forehead is spiritual and identical to when you put your right hand over your heart or over your forehead... There is no way to go around God and the carved images of the flag, unless the devil has blinded the minds of the believer, like when he deceived eve and Adam in the garden of Eden.
