What power mentioned in the thirteenth chapter of Revelation is to enforce this mark?

Answer

"And he [the two-horned beast] causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a
mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads." Rev. 13: 16.
NOTE - The two-horned beast is understood to represent the United States of America. See
reading on page 158. As this nation repudiates her principles of civil and religious liberty, and becomes a
persecuting power, other nations will follow her example in oppressing those who refuse to give up their
allegiance to God.
