BY JADEN MOUNT<\/p>\n

On Saturday, January 6, 2018, I returned to the Fort Hays State University campus in Hays, Kansas, to ready myself for the new semester. My baggage was unpacked, the supplies stored away, and the sense of temporary relaxation was in the air. It wasn\u2019t until late that night, I realized I had not checked the mail. What I found was interesting in appearance, to say the least.<\/p>\n

Within my mailbox was a copy of a small book titled \u201cNational Sunday Law.\u201d I did not open it, nor care for much of what it was at the moment. So it sat in my room for several days till curiosity sparked. My hope was the book contained information on United States laws and how to understand them. The hope could not have been more wrong.<\/p>\n

Out of the 94 numbered pages, I only managed to get through 62 before placing this \u201cbook\u201d back on the desk. The author, A. Jan Marcussen, begins by describing a variety of terrible acts that have occurred in the past, even referencing the 9\/11 Attacks. He then goes on to describe \u201cthe greatest nation on earth\u201d that rose out of peace unlike the \u201coften blood-soaked nations of Europe\u201d. This great nation, as Marcussen believes, is the United States. To a number of people, this could be enough to hook their reading into the absolute chaos that unfolds in the next pages.<\/p>\n

Summarizing, Marcussen believes he has found the great beast mentioned in the Christian Bible. The beast is the Papacy of the Catholic Church stationed in Vatican City. He claims the church is the beast controlled by Satan because one of the non-official titles of the Pope is Vicarius Filii Dei or Vicar of the Son of God. In Roman Numerals, Vicarius Filii Dei equates to 666. The \u201cMark of the Beast\u201d is Sunday Worship whilst the \u201cImage of the Beast\u201d is Protestant America.<\/p>\n

So why does he believe this? The simple answer is through his [Marcussen\u2019s] own interpretation of the Bible alongside the history of the Vatican. But questioning the belief of this man is not the focus for today. The real question is why was this book sent to me, a college student?<\/p>\n

Through short discussions, I have been told that multiple individuals within Hays, KS, have also received this text. But why here and by who? The stamp on the back of the text states:<\/p>\n

Non-Profit Organization
\nU.S. Postage
\nPAID
\nOkeene, OK
\nPermit #28.<\/p>\n

I am not against non-profit organizations, particularly religious-based, from sending out free texts, pamphlets, info cards, etc. But there seems to be no reason to why such an organization would choose a college-town in Western Kansas and speculation only goes so far.<\/p>\n
