The Pope declares Sunday is Sabbath
CHAPTER 1 - The Pope declares Sunday is Sabbath
As many can attest to today, all faiths and all governments do acknowledge the Pope as a moral leader. In fact, this is something that was actually declared in writing by Time magazine.
“Support from Catholic voters is crucial to any Italian government. The Pope is a global figure, with huge moral authority:” -Times Online 09-02-09
That being said, and since the Popes of Rome have often been the final say in things between the church and state, what does he declare to be the blessed Sabbath day for all believers worldwide?
"Not the Creator of Universe, in Genesis 2:1-3,-but the Catholic Church can claim the honor of having granted man a pause to his work every seven days."-S. C. Mosna, Storia della Domenica, 1969, pp. 366-367.
"The Pope is of great authority and power that he can modify, explain, or interpret even divine laws... The Pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man, but of God, and he acts as vicegerent of God upon earth." -Lucius Ferraris, Prompta Ribliotheca, "Papa," art. 2, translated.
"The Pope has the power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ." "The Pope has the authority and often exercised it, to dispense with the command of Christ." Decretal, de Tranlatic Episcop. Cap. (The Pope can modify divine law.) Ferraris' Ecclesiastical Dictionary.
They "dispense with the command of Christ?" When the Catholic church is asked..."Why do you feel you have the power, authority and ability to change Scripture to match your traditions?" They answer...
"Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her; --she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority." -Rev. Stephan Keenan, A Doctrinal Catechism, "On the Obedience Due to the Church," chap. 2, p. 174. (Imprimatur, John Cardinal McCloskey, archbishop of New York.)
"The authority of the church could therefore not be bound to the authority of the Scriptures, because the Church had changed...the Sabbath into Sunday, not by command of Christ, but by its own authority." Canon and Tradition, p. 263
"Is not every Christian obliged to sanctify Sunday and to abstain on that day from unnecessary servile work? Is not the observance of this law among the most prominent of our sacred duties? But you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify." -James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of Our Fathers (1917 ed.), pp. 72, 73.
"The Catholic church," declared Cardinal Gibbons, "by virtue of her divine mission changed the day from Saturday to Sunday." Catholic Mirror Sept. 23 1983. (Official organ of Cardinal Gibbons)
Question - Which is the Sabbath day?
Answer - Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Question - Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
Answer - We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea (A.D. 364), transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday." The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, p. 50, 3rd ed.
"The Bible says, Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day. The Catholic church says, No! By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day, and command you to keep the first day of the week. And lo, the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic church!" Father Enright, C.S.S.R. of the Redemptoral College, Kansas City, Mo., History of the Sabbath, p. 802
"Is not yet too late for Protestants to redeem themselves. Will they do it?... will they indeed take the written word only, the Scripture alone, as their sole authority and their sole standard? Or will they still hold the indefensible, self contradictory, and suicidal doctrine and practice of following the authority of the Catholic church and wear the SIGN of her authority? Will they keep the Sabbath of the Lord, the seventh day, according to Scripture? Or will they keep the Sunday according to the tradition of the Catholic church, -Ibid, page 31
The Sabbath, the most glorious day in the law, has been changed into the Lord's day. (...) These and other similar matters have not ceased by virtue of Christ's teaching (for He says He has come to fulfill the law, not to destroy it), but they have been changed by the authority of the church.» (Archbishop Gaspare de Fosso, Sacrorum Conciliorum nova amplissima Collectio, 1902, vol. 33, pp. 529,530.)
"Protestantism, in discarding the authority of the [Roman Catholic] Church, has no good reason for its Sunday theory, and ought logically to keep Saturday as the Sabbath."-John Gilmary Shea, in the American Catholic Quarterly Review, January 1883.
"It is well to remind the Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and all other Christians that the Bible does not support them anywhere in their observance of Sunday. Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church."-Priest Brady, in an address, reported in the Elizabeth, N.J. News of March 18, 1903.
"God simply gave His [Catholic] Church the power to set aside whatever day or days she would deem suitable as Holy Days. The Church chose Sunday, the first day of the week, and in the course of time added other days, as holy days."-Vincent J. Kelly, Forbidden Sunday and Feast-Day Occupations, p. 2.
"Protestants . . accept Sunday rather than Saturday as the day for public worship after the Catholic Church made the change . . But the Protestant mind does not seem to realize that in accepting the Bible, in observing the Sunday, they are accepting the authority of the spokesman for the church, the Pope."-Our Sunday Visitor, February 5, 1950.
"We Catholics, then, have precisely the same authority for keeping Sunday holy instead of Saturday as we have for every other article of our creed, namely, the authority of the Church . . whereas you who are Protestants have really no authority for it whatever; for there is no authority for it [Sunday sacredness] in the Bible, and you will not allow that there can be authority for it anywhere else."-The Brotherhood of St. Paul, "The Clifton tracts," Volume 4, tract 4, p. 15.
Saturday is "no longer" the worship day of God, only on Sunday can we become part of the body of Christ in the world, only by worshiping on Sunday can we avoid "egoistic isolation" and instead be united "in a great community...a universal community" becoming "related to everyone in the world." (Meeting with Diocesan Clergy of Aosta, Address of Pope Benedict XVI, Parish Church at Introd (Aosta Valley), Monday, July 25, 2005.)
Every Sunday is to be dedicated and given to God. (Mass on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Homily of Pope Benedict XVI, given in Parish Church of Castel Gandolfo, Monday, August 15, 2005.)
It is clearly seen that yes, and exactly as prophesied, the Popes of Rome CLAIM they did in fact “change” the Sabbath from the seventh day of the week to the first day of the week. That being the obvious case, with centuries of documented proof that all churches have followed the lead of the Popes; it is then plausible to think that since Rome “changed” the law of God, with all her self-proclaimed “moral powers,” is it safe to assume the Popes would also seek to change the laws of mankind so as to assure their Sunday Sabbath becomes law in every nation on earth? Notice the following documented statements of the Popes of Rome and their allies.
"Social disorder, war, injustice and violence" can only be countered " by renewed appreciation and respect for the universal moral law [Sunday observance], that only by recognizing that law can the world have "dignity, life and freedom" with "conditions of justice and peace" in all the communities of the world, and that the promotion and defense of this law is what "must govern relations between nations and peoples in the pursuit of the common good of the human family...within the international community." (Address of Pope Benedict XVI to H.E. Mr Francis Rooney, New Ambassador of the United States of America to the Holy See, Saturday, November 12, 2005.)
“Sunday is a day of rest for all workers. (Address of Pope Benedict XVI to the Italian Christian Workers' Associations (A.C.L.I.), Clementine Hall, Friday, January 27, 2006.)
“Sunday is an "obligation for all the faithful" which brings "authentic freedom enabling them to live each day", that it is the Lord's day, that it is "a day to be sanctified", and those who do not keep it suffer "the loss of an authentic sense of Christian freedom" and the loss of being "the children of God", that Sunday is the "primordial holy day" and "is meant to be kept holy", "a day of rest from work", which hopefully "will also be recognized by civil society" by law. (Sacramentum Caritatis: Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation on the Eucharist as the Source and Summit of the Church's Life and Mission, Given by Pope Benedict XVI in Rome, at Saint Peter's, February 22, 2007, the Feast of the Chair of Peter.)
"Without the Lord's day, we cannot live", that meeting with the Lord only occurs on the "specific day" of Sunday, that life does not flourish without Sunday, and that Sunday is a day of rest, of freedom and equality for all the world. (Eucharistic Celebration Homily of Pope Benedict XVI , Saint Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, Sunday, September 9, 2007.)
“Encouraged America to exercise "its leadership within the international community" based on "the common moral law [Sunday holiness]." (Address of Pope Benedict XVI to H.E. Mrs. Mary Ann Glendon, New Ambassador of the United States of America to the Holy See, Friday, February 29, 2008.)
With this push towards making the Sunday Sabbath a law, common sense dictates that any and all people that refuse to obey the Pope should be considered enemies of the state and so, will talking points of this nature come forth from the Popes of Rome as they addresses the world stage?
“The RCC "makes its contribution (in the ethical and moral sphere) according to the dispositions of international law, helps to define that law, and makes appeal to it", that we live in a time when little groups of independent people threaten the unity of the world, and that the only way to combat this problem is by establishing law and then ordering all of society according to this law, thus promoting "peace and good will throughout the earth." (Apostolic Journey to the United States of America and Visit to the United Nations Organization Headquarters, Meeting with the Members of the General Assembly of the United Nations Organization, Address of Pope Benedict XVI, New York, Friday, April 18, 2008.)
"In respecting religious liberty and the common good of all, Christians [in the USA and elsewhere] should seek recognition of Sundays and the Church's holy days as legal holidays." Catechism of the Catholic Church, popular and definitive edition, 2000, par. 2188
"This organization proposes in every possible way to aid in preserving Sunday as a civil institution. Our national security requires the active support of all good citizens in the maintenance of our American Sabbath. Sunday laws must be enforced." -Quoted as "principles contained in the Constitution" of the original organization (then called the American Sabbath Union), cited in The Lord's Day Alliance, Twenty fifth Report (1913), p6.
In the fourth and fifth centuries, Sunday shows and Sunday theaters, it was complained, hindered the "devotion of the faithful," because many of the members attended them in preference to the church services. The church, therefore, demanded that the state interfere, and promote Sunday observance by law. "In this way, " Says Neander "the church received help from the state for the furtherance of her ends." This union of church and state served to establish the Papacy in power. A similar course pursued now will produce the same results. -AUGUSTUS NEANDER, General History of the Christian Religion and the Church, Torey translation (3rd American ed.), vol. 2, pp. 300,301
On September 7, 1947, Pope Pius XII declared that "the time for reflection and planning is past in religious and moral fields and the time for action has arrived." He said that "the battle in religious and moral fields hinged on five points: Religious culture, the sanctifying of Sunday, the saving of the Christian family, social justice and loyalty and truthfulness in dealings." -Evening Star (Washington D.C.), Sept. 8, 1947.
Have Sunday laws ever been tested in the past? If so, what became of those people that broke them?
"Every man and woman shall repair in the morning to the divine service and sermons preached upon the Sabbath (Sunday), and in the afternoon to divine service, and catechizing, upon pain for the first fault to lose their provision and the allowance for the whole week following; for the second, to lose the said allowance and also be whipped; and for the third to suffer death."!!! Laws, and Orders, Divine, Politique, & Martial For the Colony in Virginia: first established by Sir Thomas Gates, Knight, Lieutenant - General, the 24th of May, 1610
Such talking points are just that, mere talk. Therefore, with the moral authority of the Popes of Rome, would it not make sense for them to seek a unity between the church and the state so as to further the agenda of the Popes of Rome? Yes, of course. In fact, this has been part of their message for decades already.
"Consequently, John Paul was criticized by liberal and moderate politicians and newspapers for transgressing the boundary between church and state." TIME June 1, 1981 article "Not Yet Hale, but Hearty" By George Russell
In sermons based on the Ten Commandments, John Paul denounced excessive materialism, divorce, contraception and the separation of church and state, TIME June 17, 1991 "The Gift Of Life" p. 47 Sermons from A Native Son
Recent statements by the Polish Episcopate have fueled apprehension. In late April the bishops urged that the new constitution exclude any provision for the separation of church and state. Instead, they suggested, "exceptional emphasis should be laid on the need for cooperation between the state and the Catholic Church." TIME May 20, 1991 "Five Who Could Be Vice President" Pg 40 "Power to The Pulpit"
In the book Confusion Twice Confounded, Monsignor Joseph H. Brady states that the U.S. Supreme Court is wrong in decisions regarding "separation of Church and State." He says: "A sound view of the Constitution in its relation to religion probably awaits a change in personnel in our highest tribunal." -The Register, Jan. 23, 1955.
What the Bible says about Sunday Sabbath
Amos 8:11 "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:"
As
prophesied, most
Christians refuse to open
Bibles today to verify what
their pastors say. In
this age of convenience, they
have been conditioned to trust
the pastors
without question. This
prophesied “lukewarm”
mindset, as Revelation 3:16
calls it, has given rise to
many false preachers all
around the world just as
Jesus said would happen in
Matthew 24:11. These wolves in
sheep’s clothing can
lie to their congregations
knowing with absolute
confidence that the majority
of their victims will never
check up on them, and those
that will are so few in
number, he doesn’t fear
losing any money in the
donation plate. As for the
small number of Christians
that do investigate their
false message using
twisted Bible verses, they are
quickly kicked out of the
church so as to
prevent the truth from
spreading and the
pastor’s wallet from
emptying. To keep
those remaining lukewarm souls
in the church happy, the
wolves preach
prosperity messages on how to
gain wealth, amusing and
self-aggrandizing sermons
that tickle the flock’s
ears, and some pastors even
use rock music mixed with
Gospel lyrics to keep the
people entertained. As
prophesied in Isaiah 4:1 they
use will false doctrines all
the world agrees with to make
the flock feel safe
in discerning they do are in
God’s will thinking that
since everyone else
believes this way, it must be
right. Case in point, one of
the oldest and most
successfully evangelized false
doctrines has to be the Sunday
sabbath first
enforced and declared
“of God” on March
07, 321A.D. under direction of
the Bishop
of Rome which was obey and
enforced by Constantine. In
this pamphlet you have
in hand, please notice the
verses they still claim says
the Christian Sabbath
was changed from the seventh
day to the first day of the
week. When read in
context, the true meaning of
the verse makes much more
sense.
CLAIM #1… Acts 20:7 “And upon the first [day] of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.”
This meeting was obviously
held at night. Later in Acts
20:11 it states that
after they ate, Paul “talked
a long while, even till
break of day.”
The question then is, are they
saying this is a church
service because they
broke bread, and since it was
on the “first
day” of the week
it must then
mean the Sabbath was changed?
Problem with that theory is,
Acts 2:46 also says
the norm for the apostles was
to continue "…daily
…breaking
bread from house to
house." Since they
define this is a church
service, this must be the
format the church must emulate
today. If Acts 20:7 is
the definitive proof we need
to validate Sabbath as changed
from the seventh
day to the first day of the
week, and since the Scripture
must be obeyed, then
all Sunday keeping churches
must...
CLAIM #2… I Corinthians 16:2 “Upon the first [day] of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as [God] hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.”
There is absolutely no
reference whatsoever of a
public meeting, or even a
church
service being mentioned here
for when Paul arrives. Some
declare this to be a
church service because Paul is
gathering what they call
“tithes.” But if
you
read past the verse they give
out of context, you find the
word “liberality”
is actually used to describe
this offering in verse #3 of
that very same
chapter.
“Liberality” is
defined as “monetary
gift” in
Strong’s
Concordance. (#5485) Also
notice Paul is asking for that
to be given from what "God
hath prospered" in the
passage. I then have to ask,
is this then the normal
tithing practices of a church
service to give from what God
has prospered
which is now stored in
savings? Is not Luke 18:12
rather plain wherein it says,
"I give tithes of all
that I possess."
Biblical
truth is; this is
not a church service at all
because first and foremost
it's never declared as
such. Nor is it tithing that
Paul is gathering; which for
some reason they
claim makes it a church
service. Paul was gathering
what we call “love
offerings” today.
Finally, if the entire passage
is read in context, it’s
discovered the passage is
actually about Paul stopping
by on his way to
Jerusalem to pick up the love
offerings as financial relief
for the Christians
in financial distress in
Jerusalem at that time. (See
Romans 15:26, &
Acts 11:26-30 which also
confirm this as fact.)
CLAIM #3… Revelation 1:10 “I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet”
Some use this verse to declare
Sunday is now Sabbath because
John uses the term
"the Lord's day." Truth
is, the Scriptures already
defines the
seventh day Sabbath as the
Lord's day thousands of years
prior in Isaiah 58:13
wherein we find the Lord
calling, "…the sabbath,
…my
holy day;”
quite bluntly. Even Jesus
stated in the New Testament
Scriptures in Matthew 12:8
that, “…the
Son of man is Lord even
of the
Sabbath day.”
Many seem to forget the very first thing recorded in the Bible itself is work being done on Sunday in Genesis 1:1-5. God in point of fact commands all men to work upon the first day of the week in the heart of the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:8-11. He specifically says in verse nine of that Commandment that, "Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:" Is it wrong for us to obey God? Did not the apostles state in Acts 5:29 that, “…we ought to obey God rather than men.”
The Creator God calls Sunday a work day in Exodus 23:12; 31:15; 34:21; 35:2, Leviticus 23:3, Deuteronomy 5:13, Ezekiel 46:1 and Luke 13:14 showing His people, it is not nor ever will be a Sabbath. But for clarity, who is actually the one that calls Sunday the Sabbath?
"...as a solar festival, Sunday was the sacred day of Mithra; and it is interesting to notice that since Mithra was addressed, as Dominus, 'Lord," Sunday must have been 'the Lord's Day' long before Christian times." -The Paganism in Our Christianity, Arthur Weigall, 1928, p136
The term "The Lord's day" was first coined by John in the book of Revelation for the New Testament Christian church, yes. But the Pagans of old used that term to describe their "lord's day" as well. When Constantine demanded all Christians keep Sunday holy on March 07, 321AD, he called it the "lord's day" at that time. The distorted history preached by pastors to this day wherein they changed what John referred to as the true Christian "Sabbath" to what the Pagan's referred to as Sunday proves the Vatican was clearly involved in this long-prophesied end time agenda. And to further lock this down as a fulfilled prophesied fact, the prelates of Rome have admitted time and time again in writing the following words for all the world to see.
"The [Catholic] Church took the pagan philosophy and made it the buckler of faith against the heathen. She took the pagan Roman Pantheon, temple of all the gods, and made it sacred to all the martyrs; so it stands to this day. She took the pagan Sunday and made it the Christian Sunday. …The sun has worshipers at this hour in Persia and other lands . . . Hence the Church would seem to say, 'Keep that old pagan name [Sunday]. It shall remain consecrated, sanctified.' And thus the pagan Sunday, dedicated to Balder, became the Christian Sunday, sacred to Jesus"--William L. Gildea, "Paschale Gaudium," in The Catholic World, 58, March, 1894, p. 809 [A Roman Catholic weekly].
Some use this passage to say
the Sabbath is no longer valid
because Jesus broke
it, or disregarded it when He
was walking among us.
First of all, nowhere in this passage does it say Jesus abolished or broke the Sabbath. What it does say here is the Pharisees assumed Jesus and the apostles were breaking Sabbath by picking corn to eat. Yet Jesus proves with Scriptural facts regarding King David, whom the Jews respected, that He and His apostles were not breaking Sabbath at all.
Jesus clearly corrected the false teachings of the Pharisees here. If it was ok for David to relieve his hunger and the hunger of those with him by eating bread that was consecrated and set apart for holy use, then it was perfectly ok for the disciples of Christ to satisfy their hunger by plucking the corn on Sabbath day as well.
The truth is, both David and the Apostles were in God’s employment. In fact, the temple priests, and even pastors today, perform greater labors on each Sabbath as they do God’s work, do they not? The same type of labor in secular business would in fact be considered sinful. However, the work of the priests was in the service of God. The labors they performed each Sabbath pointed to the redeeming power of Christ. Their labor was in perfect harmony with the object of the Sabbath day so as to get the work done that brought souls into the truth. But now, Christ Himself had come, and was walking among them.
As all Christians agree, the disciples were employed by God to do a holy and sanctified work. They were merely doing that which was necessary for the achievement of their Heavenly appointed work on Sabbath day. Jesus confirmed this truth by stating He is “Lord of the Sabbath.” Seeing how His apostles followed and emulated Him, this proves they are employed to do His work and therefore free from guilt. Just because the Pharisees didn’t see them as men employed by God doesn’t make it true.
Jesus or His apostles didn’t break the Sabbath here at all. Biblical truth is, “sin is the transgression of the law” according to 1John 3:4. In other words, breaking the Law of God is how sin is committed. Commandment #4 is all about the Sabbath day. To say Jesus broke Sabbath, is to say Jesus sinned by breaking God’s Law. This is exactly what the Pharisees are trying to declare here because they hated Him and His message. Yet as Christians we know Christ never sinned. Truth is, if He did commit sin, He would never have been that spotless Lamb of God and Saviour to you and me.
Jesus proved in Mark chapter two that the Pharisees were in error regarding a sin they invented about plucking corn on Sabbath day for Gospel workers. Yes, it would be sin for those that harvested corn for a living if done so on the Sabbath. But Jesus and His apostles were not employed as farmers. They were simply hungry men employed of God.
By the way, for those who assume it is ok to break Sabbath by using this passage, you need to realize that you are trusting the word of a non-believing Pharisee, who was just corrected and exposed as in error by Jesus Christ Himself.
In other words, those that believe the Jews were correct in their assumptions are actually ignoring how Jesus defended the Sabbath truth and corrected the lying Pharisees at the same time. To use this passage means you are taking the word of the wicked Pharisees as truth over Jesus Christ.
As we all
know, the Pharisees deny
Christ as Lord unto this
day. Who then is telling the
Truth in reality? The ones who
know not the Word
of God? Or the one who
actually wrote the Word
Himself?
CLAIM #5… Colossians 2:16-17 “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.”
Simple truth here is, the
"sabbaths" mentioned here are
not the
weekly Sabbaths of the Lord.
Please read Leviticus 23:23-38
and you will find
that the sabbaths mentioned
here in Colossians chapter 2
are the annual
sabbaths, or what most today
refer to as the annual
“feast days” that
acknowledged certain events
that would be fulfilled in the
future when Christ
came as Messiah. This is why
Paul referred to them as “a
shadow of things to
come” in this
passage.
Make special note that after it lists the annual sabbaths in Leviticus 23:23-37 that it says in Verse 38 that these annual sabbaths are “besides the Sabbath of the Lord.”
In Matthew 5:17 Jesus said, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." No one can “fulfill” a weekly Sabbath because it points all the way back to creation. That is why the 4th Commandment starts with the word “Remember" when speaking of Sabbath.
Keeping the Sabbath is a day to worship the Creator of all things. You simply cannot “fulfill” an event that has already passed. However, when those annual sabbaths (feast days) were instituted thousands of years ago, Jesus later arrived to fulfill all that the annual sabbaths pointed to. The children of God were keeping the feast days back then as a way to symbolically look forward to the prophesied arrival of Messiah when He would actually fulfill the feast days in reality.
For example, the lamb sacrifice they offered for their sins back then was a “shadow of things to come,” which was fulfilled when “…the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29) actually died on the cross. This is why Jesus said “it is finished” just before He died in John 19:30.
Read Leviticus 23:23-38 and you will find five annual "sabbaths" are defined as "feast days" of the Lord within a 15-day period. This means they can in no way be considered the weekly Sabbath when 5 are kept within 15 days. Realty proves there are only 2 Sabbaths in a 15-day period.
By the way, this is not the only reason the sabbaths in Colossians 2:14-17 can’t possibly be the 7th day Sabbath. When you read Leviticus 23:23-38 you will notice it talks about the meat and drink offerings mentioned in the same way they are spoken of in Colossians 2:14-17. That means, if these annual sabbaths are the same as the 7th day Sabbath mentioned in the Law of God as Commandment #4, then I must ask all that use this passage to preach Sunday as the Christian Sabbath to please show where in the Ten Commandments do they see "meat, drink, holydays, or new moons” as we see Colossians chapter 2?
I must also ask if they do believe this verse preaches such a thing, why don’t their Sunday keeping churches honor “meat, drink, holydays, or new moons” today?
The Law of God is not the same as the law of Moses that Leviticus and Colossians are obviously referring to here. Moses law, or “commandments contained in ordinances” ended at the cross as Ephesians 2:15 proved. And God’s Law stands forever as Luke 16:17 proclaimed.
Hebrews
9:1,10 says, "Then
verily the first covenant
had also ordinances of
divine service, and a
worldly sanctuary. Which
stood only in meats and
drinks, and divers
washings, and carnal
ordinances, imposed on
them until the time
of
reformation."
CLAIM #6… Galatians 4:9-11, "But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
Some believe this is speaking
of Sabbaths because the word "days"
is used in a way that suggests
religious observance. However,
again we find
that the weekly Sabbath is not
mentioned here at all.
If this is read in context, we find that Paul knew how the converted Galatians used to be Pagans, and therefore used to ritualistic forms of worship. The Jewish converts to Christianity, like those in the book of Colossians, also wanted to continue on with their feast days. Their legalistic form of worship appealed to the Galatians because of their Pagan roots, and had to be dealt with by Paul because he hoped to prevent what we see happening even unto our day 2000 years later.
Like today’s feast day movement, they seek to mix the annual Sabbaths into New Testament church worship exactly as did the Jews. But this carnal law was only “until the time of reformation” as we learned earlier.
By causing the Galatians to fall for this error they were able to eclipse the atoning work of Christ on Calvary just as the enemy of souls planned. By observing these “days and months” they were declaring their own abilities, rather than Christ’s sacrifice suitable for salvation. But the truth is it’s "Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:9)
This is also why Paul was concerned his preaching to them was a “labour in vain” because they were showing signs of desiring to “be in bondage” to the annual sabbaths that Jesus already declared “finished” at the cross.
If you
notice, this is the same
method of twisting the
false preachers use with
Colossians 2:16-17. Therefore,
the same method of
revelation can be used to
expose it. Which is to ask,
where I ask in the Ten
Commandments does it speak of
“days, months, times,
& years” as we
see in Galatians? Since it
doesn't, this passage
can’t possibly be
speaking of
the Sabbath found in
Commandment #4.
CLAIM #7… Romans 14:5 "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Again, nowhere in this passage
does it say we should keep
Sunday as Sabbath.
This is again speaking of the
annual holy-days that some of
the Jews still felt
obligated to keep. Most
Gentile converts to
Christianity were not
compelled to
keep such feast days. This
happened simply because many
of the Jews had
difficulty in giving up their
life long traditions.
A good way to compare this with today’s Christian church is where some keep Pagan holidays like Christmas and Easter, where others prefer not partake in such celebrations and merrymaking. If they truly see no wrong in this act, we are not to judge them. We can try to warn them of course, but that’s where our job ends. That’s why it clearly states, “Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind” here. We simply cannot force any man to believe anything we believe.
By the way, if you read all of Romans 14, you will discover the true topic and find it was again taken completely out of context.
God never rested on the first day of the week. He never blessed it, nor did His Son Jesus ever acknowledge the first day of the week in any way shape or form. The Apostles never rested on it either. In fact, the New Testament Christians were never recorded as being at rest on the first day of the week in any historic reference, nor in any Scripture known to man. If those that believe such things would have researched their own church history, they would have found that on March 07, 321AD Constantine made the Pagan Sunday sabbath law of the land as prophesied in Daniel 7:25. But I have to ask, if the Christians were already keeping Sunday as sabbath three centuries earlier at the resurrection of Christ, then why did the Bishop of Rome move Constantine to force Christians to keep Sunday as a sabbath?
Historic fact is, all Christians kept the true seventh day Sabbath for three hundred years after Jesus ascended. Think about that for a moment. Had you known that; you would have known before your pastors spoke such things that every verse that was ever used to suggest the Apostles were part of, or even alive during the Sabbath to Sunday change, was a bold-faced lie because it was never suggested to be changed until nearly three hundred years after they died.
When 321AD came, only those Christians that feared Roman rule and failed to trust God kept Sunday as sabbath. The false preachers of today would have you believe the true Sabbath was changed during the time the Bible was penned. Historic, and biblical fact is, they lied. In fact, you cannot find one single line of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation that decrees Sunday to be blessed, sanctified, made holy, or even enforced by the Creator God of the Bible.
Think about that for a moment. NO LAW was ever made by the God of creation to enforce the first day of the week. And Romans 4:15 clearly says "...where no law is, there is no transgression."
You simply cannot commit sin unless there is a law being broken. Would not our Lord and Saviour at least given us one simple verse to proclaim Sunday as the Sabbath if in fact He meant to do such a thing? Why should we as His followers consider something holy that He never considered to be holy? The reality here is that it is simply called. "The first day of the week" in all Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.
One more thing should be mentioned here. Many do claim that the day Jesus rose from the dead is the reason all should keep Sunday holy. However, the Word of God is quite clear about how we as Christians are to acknowledge the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is not as all the Sunday preachers suggest by going to church on Sunday. It is done by baptism.
Romans 6:3-5, "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:"
In other words, when you go under the water, you symbolize and acknowledge His death and burial. When you come out of the water, you symbolize and acknowledge His resurrection. Merely stepping into a church on the day He arose each week simply cannot do this. In fact, if His death and resurrection was really the reason for going to church on Sunday, why is it no one goes to church every Friday? Isn’t that the day He died?

CHALLENGE
Some years ago I posted on the
ministry website a challenge
for all pastors,
preachers and even bible
studying Christians to find a
verse that declares God
changed the Sabbath from the
seventh day of the week to the
first day of the
week. If they were able to
send the verse, I promised
(and still do) to send
them $10,000.00 cash! Since
then, I have received quite a
few attempts from
people using the verses I
shared in this pamphlet. Not a
single pastor,
preacher, or bible teacher
have ever been able to find
that verse. What most
people are unaware of is, all
of the religious leaders have
already agreed in
writing there is no such verse
in the Bible wherein it says
God changed the
Sabbath from day seven to day
one. This Sunday sabbath is
nothing more than a
"TRADITION OF MEN." (Mark 7:8)
Think about this as well. The Lord thy God worked on that day when He started creation. He even worked on this day when He rose Jesus from the dead 2000 years ago. Biblical and historic fact is, He actually rested and left His Son in the tomb on the Sabbath day as well. Even the New Testament Christian women who went to anoint the body of Jesus stopped in their tracks and chose not to anoint Jesus yet because the Sabbath was drawing near. Luke 23:56 tells us that those women, “rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment”
Without getting too technical. It's easy to see that the Lord's day is in fact the 7th day. This same God that said in Malachi 3:6 “For I am the Lord, I change not...” also said in Psalms 89:34 regarding this covenant that we should “…not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.”
The Sabbath is important because “…the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” (Exodus 20:11) And I Chronicles 17:27 says “...it shall be blessed for ever.”
If your church uses the scriptures shared here to say Sunday is the Sabbath, then the Lord plainly says in Revelation 18:4 that you should “…Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
After all is said and done, if you just read this entire pamphlet, you know that you just discovered Biblical evidence that absolutely every single verse every used to claim Sunday is the Sabbath was done so in a deceptive manner to make Scripture appear to say something it never said. Some will ask why have all the churches done such an evil act as this? In Daniel 7:25 we find it prophesied that a beast would “think to change” the Sabbath so as to get “all the world” to wonder after him as Revelation 13:3 predicts happens right before the end of the world. Look around. Do you see it fulfilled? All Christian churches now keep Sunday as Sabbath, even though you now know for a fact there is not a single verse in the Christian Bible to warrant such a change as this. In case you missed the hint as to who it is that changed the Sabbath earlier. Perhaps the following quotes from the Roman Catholic Vatican will help.
"Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act... And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things." -H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons. Nov. 11, 1895
"Sunday is our MARK of authority. . .the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact" -Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1,1923.
“The Bible says, Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day. The Catholic church says, No! By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day, and command you to keep the first day of the week. And lo, the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic church!” -Fr Enright, C.S.S.R. History of the Sabbath, p. 802
"Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her; --she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority." -Rev. Stephan Keenan, A Doctrinal Catechism, "On the Obedience Due to the Church," chap. 2, p. 174. (Imprimatur, John Cardinal McCloskey, archbishop of New York.)
"Is not every Christian obliged to sanctify Sunday and to abstain on that day from unnecessary servile work? Is not the observance of this law among the most prominent of our sacred duties? But you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify." -James Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith of Our Fathers (1917 ed.), pp. 72, 73.
"Is not yet too late for Protestants to redeem themselves. Will they do it?... will they indeed take the written word only, the Scripture alone, as their sole authority and their sole standard? Or will they still hold the indefensible, self contradictory, and suicidal doctrine and practice of following the authority of the Catholic church and wear the SIGN of her authority? Will they keep the Sabbath of the Lord, the seventh day, according to Scripture? Or will they keep the Sunday according to the tradition of the Catholic church, - Rome's Challenge, (Why do Protestants keep Sunday?) page 31
What does the Bible record as Satan’s favored attack on God’s people for thousands of years? In Esther chapter three he used government authority to try and force God’s people to break God’s Law. As we all know, Mordecai chose to die on the gallows rather than break Commandment # 2. In Daniel chapter three, Satan again used government authority to try and force God’s people to break God’s Law. Shadrach Meshach and Abednego chose death in a furnace heated seven times hotter than normal over breaking Commandment #2. And again, in Daniel chapter six, Satan used government authority to try and force God’s people to break God’s Law. The prophet Daniel chose death in a den of lions rather than break Commandment #1. In all three cases, the same God we worship today protected His faithful servants, and delivered them from certain death.
Mordecai was honored (Esther 6:11; 8:2,15) and became “next” unto the king, (Esther 9:4; 10:2,3) and his enemy was hanged on the gallows in his place. (Esther 7:9,10) While in the fiery furnace heated “seven times hotter” to kill them; Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were joined by the Son of God in the fire itself, and the fire caused them no harm. (Daniel 3:23-28) However, the men that threw them into the fire were killed by the flames. (Daniel 3:22) And finally, the hungry lions in the den were prevented from harming Daniel. (Daniel 6:22,23) However, the men that tried to force Daniel to sin who also set up a torturous death for Daniel in the lion’s den, they were thrown into the lion’s den with their families to be consumed by the lions. (Daniel 6:24)
2000 years ago in New Testament times, Roman law demanded worship of Roman rulers. Out of fear, the people that didn’t trust God did as the Romans demanded. In Acts 12:21-22 it states, "Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man." History records countless scores of Christians died in the Coliseums refusing to break Commandment #1 by worshipping Caesar. Later, a prophecy of Revelation 13:4 declared Pagan Rome "gave power" unto Papal Rome which today is the church and state power called Vatican City. History recorded this act and confirmed the prophecy fulfilled. Like the Pagan Caesars, Catholic Popes also declared themselves to be gods in writing.
"...superior papal authority and dominion is derived from the law of the Caesars." Lucius Ferraris, in "Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica, Juridica, Moralis, Theologica, Ascetica, Polemica, Rubristica, Historica", Volume V, article on "Papa, Article II", titled "Concerning the extent of Papal dignity, authority, or dominion and infallibility", #19, published in Petit-Montrouge (Paris) by J. P. Migne, 1858 edition.
"The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth." Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Chapter XXVII, p. 218, "Cities Petrus Bertanous".
With prophetic exactness, Papal Rome emulated the ancient Pagan Roman law, and demanded worship of the Popes and for refusing to break Commandment #1, history records over 500 million Christians being killed by the Popes of Rome for 1260 years between 538AD to 1798AD.
"That the Church of Rome has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among mankind, will be questioned by no Protestant who has a competent knowledge of history . . . It is impossible to form a complete conception of the multitude of her victims, and it is quite certain that no powers of imagination can adequately realize their sufferings."-W.E.H. Lecky, History of the Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe, vol. 2, p. 32, 1910 edition. (Also see the Catholic Encyclopedia, vol. 12, p. 266.)
Out of inherited fear of bloodthirsty Roman church, most denominations to this day now follow the lead of their fearful apostate leaders of the not-so-distant past to teach the Law of God is no longer required just as Satan planned and has had political and church leaders doing for literally eons.
As Christians, we must ask; why does Satan persist in trying to get people to break God’s Law? Why is this such a sore spot with him?
If we look in the Word of God, we find it's because Satan knows all about how Christians that keep the Law, will not receive the prophesied mark of the beast that he demands all receive! In Revelation 14:9-11 we read of what happens to those that get the mark. It says, "...the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."
Keep in mind that this speaks of the very last days in history. A time wherein most preach the Law of God is no longer necessary, even though they claim certain commandments, like number six that says "Thou shalt not kill" are still necessary. The apostate leaders teach some laws valid while others are not, but did not Jesus Himself say in Matthew 5:18, "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." That being said, how can the Law be done away with when Jesus says not so much as a speck (jot or tittle) will pass from the law? Seriously, has all been fulfilled as they assume? Has Jesus returned? Has the world ended? Clearly, it is quite apparent that we are still here!
Since all has yet to be fulfilled, then His law is still valid for those that follow Christ's instruction. In fact, upwards of six decades after Calvary, when most preach the law was done away with, the apostle John stated the following in 1 John 2:4, "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." If the law was abolished at the cross as so many assume, why is John saying nearly 60 years later that those refusing to keep God’s law are liars and not to be considered Christians?
But did you notice the apostle John also said about the truth not being “in” those he calls liars? It has to do with the way the Law of God is “written” inside the obedient Christian. How is this done? Notice this…
Jesus said in John 14:26 that, “the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” And then Jesus said in John 16:7-8, “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:” And how does the Comforter which we know is the Holy Ghost “reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment?” the answer is found in two places. It says in Hebrews 10:16 that "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;" And then it says in 2 Corinthians 3:3, “Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.”
When John the apostle said those that claim Jesus as Lord but are truly “liars” because he knew the Law of God was “not in” them because if the Law of God was written on their hearts as Jesus promised they would be, breaking His Law as 99% of all pastors do and teach others to do simply wouldn’t be happening.
After the angel shares with the apostle John in vision the just deserts of those receiving the mark of the beast, the very next verse says, "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." (Revelation 14:12) This verse alone is why Satan is so adamant about getting everyone to break God’s law again. He knows if Christians both trust Jesus as well as keep His law, that makes it absolutely impossible for him to force them into receiving his mark, which as he also knows, causes his plans to gain global worship of mankind will ultimately fail.
What's amazing here is that the Old Testament also spoke of the Law of God as being mankind's inspired duty in Ecclesiastes 12:13 where it says, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
In the very same Bible we find in Revelation 13:16,17 that it warns us all about Satan's plan to enforce his mark upon all of mankind. It says, "...he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
As Christians we need to ask, why is this mark so important, and what are the actual features of a mark? With Satan's biblically recorded past in mind regarding how he always seeks to use God’s Law against is, his mark in the end of days will also have something to do with breaking God's Law. Basic reality is, since it worked so well for him in the past on the masses, why not now?
That being said, check this out.
Government declarations and legal documents must always bear a mark, or an official seal of approval on them in order for them to be considered valid. Knowing this as fact, what are the actual features of an official mark or seal made by governing bodies? According to both ancient as well as modern law; an official seal or signature must always have three distinct features to be considered valid. They are...
For example, when the President of the United States signs a bill into law, he must always sign it, 1.Name "George Washington" 2.Title "President" 3.Territory "of the United States of America" Collectively his signature reads, “George Washington, President, of the United States of America.” Every legal document must be sealed in this manner for it to become an official lawful document.
The Creator God also has a kingdom as well as a legal document containing the Law for that kingdom. The Lord's legal document of His Law is the Ten Commandments. In fact, the Law of God actually came first. Since the beginning, mankind has always copied the structure of governing rule from the Creator God Himself for back then they had no other example to follow, and since it worked so well for the Lord, it made sense for many to do as He did. When we look into the midst of the Law of God, we find the seal of the living God in the midst of His Law which is the fourth Commandment. As you will soon discover, it's no mistake the Creator God places His seal within the "Sabbath Commandment." When we look at the words, "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth...." of Exodus 20:11 we find written by God's very own hand within Commandment #4, all three distinct features of an official seal.
Collectively His signature reads, “The Lord, Creator, of Heaven and Earth.”
As powerful as this truth is, it’s just as amazing to see how as prophesied, all the church ignore and refuse to teach that the seal of the Creator God is clearly found in the Sabbath commandment of His Law. That seal is an official acknowledgement of His authority as Creator.
Just as there can be no question as to which laws were sealed by presidents of nations, there can be no question that the seal of God is found in His Law as well.
When we keep His Sabbath, we are expressing by our own personal action of obedience and love that we "remember the works of the LORD." (Psalm 77:11) If you read the entire 4th commandment found in Exodus 20:8-11, you will see that the very first word of that Sabbath commandment instructs us to "remember" Him as Creator by keeping this day holy. That’s no mistake as a God that created all that is seen and unseen would not be capable of making His will clear to us.
Truth is, the word “remember” is actually a prophetic statement by our Lord. Seriously, when we look at how the entire Christian church of today has “forgotten” to worship and obey Him by keeping Sunday holy instead of His Sabbath, you can then see that even way back then, the Lord knew His people would be taught to forget it. Hence the reason He used the word REMEMBER to start off the 4th commandment. In fact, this is why Satan seeks to downplay the Law of God in the Christian church today. This is also why he focuses his attack specifically on the Sabbath commandment itself. Satan knows all about the importance of that seal. He knows keeping that day is an open sign of worship towards the Creator God. That angers Satan because as prophesied long ago, he seeks worship and wants to, "be like the most High." (Isaiah 14:14)
As Christians, we have known since very early on that Satan wants all of mankind to worship him instead of the Creator in just how he tempts each and every one of us to follow him in sin instead of following Christ who helps us stop sinning.
As prophesied long ago, Satan planned to create a false church that claims to be Christian so as to lure billions away from the Creator God. As he used God’s law against God’s people for eons, he eventually perfected a way to make it easier to confuse the people via the Popes of Rome by using a Sunday sabbath as his standard of compliance. When we keep the Sunday sabbath of the Roman Church, we acknowledge, agree with, and yes, even worship the Pope just as prophecy said the majority of earth would be doing in Revelation 13:3. But the Word of God is plain in Acts 5:29, "We ought to obey God rather than men." To counteract this Godly mandate of God’s love in Scripture, Satan has Rome boasting to be the only church worthy of obedience on earth to this day. The fact there's not a single Scripture from Genesis to Revelation saying God changed His Sabbath to Sunday proves mankind is right now obeying a man (the Pope) rather than the Creator God, exactly as prophesied in Romans 1:25 and Revelation 13:3-4.
Notice the bold statements of the Popes of Rome.
"The Bible
says, Remember
that thou
keep holy the Sabbath day.
The Catholic church says, No!
By my divine power I
abolish the Sabbath day,
and command you to keep
the first day of the week. And
lo, the entire
civilized world bows
down in reverent obedience
to the command of the holy
Catholic church!"

the Sabbath, p. 802
"...you may read the

How is the mark of the beast placed upon the disobedient?
First Rome, who as prophesied will do all Satan commands must have control over all necessary government offices around the world to be able to do as they wish. But how will Satan control the common man all around the world? National ID Cards that will be incorporated into daily life via actual cards and or inside cell phones in a digital format that have been all over the News the last few years will be a mainstay in this system of control. (For more info, see… remnantofGod.org/ID.htm and remnantofGod.org/vatican.htm)
These digital ID cards will contain your address, work history, educational background, ethnicity, health history, finances, passport, birth certificate, SS#, DL#, marital status, religious denomination, family tree, and criminal records. It will eventually replace all your credit cards as well as the use of cash. Like China, it will be used to control each person via a “credit score” that’s based on how they live in society.
No, this card is not the "mark" itself. But it is a way to prevent buying and selling of which we learned earlier in Revelation 13 is their prophesied plan.
It used to take authorities up to as many as 72 hours to freeze bank accounts. With these digital ID cards logged into their global network system, it now happens instantly anywhere in the world. Compile that power with the soon to come cashless society wherein the “great reset” plans to digitize each and every dollar making it much easier to track every dime spent as well as removing from your bank account every dime you have until you agree with the Pope’s Sunday Law mandate, which I will get into more detail in the next chapter.
In prophecy it is confirmed by obedient students of prophecy that the hand represents our individual freedom and ability to work so as to maintain our livelihood. For example, in Jeremiah 38:23 it says, "thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon" In Ecclesiastes 9:10 it says, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."
It is also declared and understood by obedient students of prophecy that in Scripture, the mind is where we make decisions. In Hebrews 10:16 it literally says the Lord will write His Law "in their minds."
With that said, are you aware that Scientists have recently mapped the human brain? They actually found the forehead is where our decisions and judgments are made. That means Scientists just made it possible for some Christians to realize how the mark gets “in” the forehead!
In other words, as prophesied, we are sealed in the forehead when we make the free will decision to accept either God’s Law, or man's law. But we are marked in the right hand when we are forced against our will to break God’s Law.
In short, the mark is a choice each and every person on earth will make soon. It’s no different than the choice, Mordecai, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, or Daniel made long ago when Satan used God’s Law against them. Bible history proved Satan always uses governing authorities to enforce manmade laws that go against God's Law. Today will be no different.
To further confirm Rome looks upon this as their mark; notice what they say in their very own words.
"Sunday is our MARK of authority. . .the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact" Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1,1923.
Like the governing authorities of ancient Bible history; Vatican City is also global governing authority which all politicians have agreed upon when it comes to the “Roman International Court System.” (See more on that here.. remnantofGod.org/nl990406.htm) In fact, even more so now as they presently have governments in an open covenant with her as the recent so-called pandemic proved. The leaders are actually photographed on a regular basis bowing before the Pope in an act of worship to authenticate their allegiance to the Pope.
The reason Rome declares they are above the Bible when it comes to the Sabbath is because nearly all so-called Bible believers are keeping Sunday holy. They all know Rome invented it, and they all know there is no Scripture to back it up. So, Rome assumes to be above the Bible when the Christian leaders teach all to worship as Rome demands, which confirms Rome’s belief they are over and above the Bible. This worldwide agreement with Rome was prophesied to occur in Revelation 13:3 when it said, "all the world wonders after" the Roman Church to follow her lead.
Will Rome do as all governing authorities before her have done to demand a law that goes against God's Law? Can Christian prophecy be that accurate? Notice this…
"This organization proposes in every possible way to aid in preserving Sunday as a civil institution. Our national security requires the active support of all good citizens in the maintenance of our American Sabbath. Sunday laws must be enforced." Quoted- "principles contained in the Constitution" (then called the American Sabbath Union), The Lord's Day Alliance, Twenty fifth Report (1913), p6.
Pope John
Paul II said,
"Christians will naturally
strive to ensure that "civil
legislation"
respects their duty
to keep Sunday
holy." -Section 67, "Dies
Domini", July 7, 1998
Final note:
It was also prophesied in Amos 8:11 that in the last days most Christians will not be, "hearing the words of the LORD." Most pastors do not know about the prophesied Sunday laws or prophecies about Rome's plans because they are not taught this in Seminary, or Bible College. In fact, notice what was discovered in a poll taken back on September 24th 1977. When asked if they believed in a second coming of Jesus Christ; “only 2% of American student ministers actually believe in the second coming of Jesus!” - Pittsburgh Press 09/24/1977
These "students" are Pastors, and Teachers TODAY!
Since they aren't taught this in the seminaries and Bible Colleges, most Christians never hear such truths as this when they attend their local church because their pastors can’t preach it. And the reason I say they can’t preach it is because the only way to understand prophecy is to obey the God that wrote it. If you seek more info on this, see this.. https://remnantofgod.org/tounderstandprophecy.htm
Sadly, because of the blind pastors being unable to warn their flock, Jesus will "cometh as a thief in the night" to some who are to be "destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." (Hosea 4:6)
However, if you study Christian prophecy, and obey the Lord thy God, you won't be in darkness where "that that day should overtake you as a thief. " -1 Thessalonians 5:2,4
It is the prayer of this ministry that if you are in a Sunday keeping church, or even the Seventh Day Adventist church that now has dozens of Sunday keeping churches open so as to “stay in business” when the mark is enforced, you need to heed the voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." - Revelation 18:4
How does the Pope plan to enforce Sunday laws?
NOTICE: The reason so many statements are in BLUE is because this chapter was taken from a blog entry posted on March 01, 2023. All the BLUE statements are LINKS to pages, studies and videos that give much detail on each topic.

When we look at what’s prophesied to happen soon, we now know that the mask and the vax was a test of Satan’s global elite to see if the people the world over would obey their governments to do something anyone with Internet access can see is all based on an easy to prove lie. Yes, Covid 19 is very real, but it is by no means as deadly as the media is claiming. In fact, the CDC has shared the actual numbers of legitimate Covid deaths more than once the last few months and they are a literal fraction of what the pro-Socialist media has been claiming all along. See this – this– and this to verify and you will know that of the hundreds of thousands of people that died, only 6% actually died from Covid. That global experiment was a success. The powers that be now know the people will obey and so they can now move forward on this prophesied agenda.
This next experiment we are all witnessing now is what the dying god of this world desperately needs so as to find where the obedient Christians are so as to make it easier when the final prophesied test of all Christians begins where his man of sin in Rome enforces religious laws that go directly against the God of the Bible. And yes, they will enforce religious laws. Open your Bibles and you will find that each time the mark of the beast is mentioned in prophecy, the word worship is right there with it. (Read Revelation chapters 13&14) That being the case, the next test has to be a vaccine. Why?
If you look into the ingredients of the vaccine you will find that there are two ingredients out of the many toxic ingredients in the vaccine that are designed to literally force a religious decision upon every Christian taking the vaccine so as to see who will ignore their Christian morals and convictions in the exact same way they will in a few short years when the mark of the beast is finally enforced. How so? Those two major ingredients are the cells of aborted babies and the cells from the unclean pig.
#1,
ABORTED BABIES:
Many Catholics and I would
hope all Protestants would
object to having the
cells from tortured and then
murdered babies from abortion
clinics injected
into their bloodstream. Those
choosing to do so are going
directly against
God’s will
regarding commandment
#6 so
as to supposedly protect their
flesh from a greatly
exaggerated virus that
is not
actually
a virus at all. And even
if they knew it was fake yet
got the
vaccine anyway so as to keep
their jobs, they would be
openly sinning as per
commandment #6.
#2,
PIG CELLS:
As
for
the cells of a pig, most
Catholics and Protestants are
completely unaware
they are defiling their bodies
with the pig even though their
very own Bibles
say this is sinful to
eat. Their pastors have
not the Biblical understanding
needed to teach them
as they should be taught due
to their own lack of faith.
But Satan knows that
most Sabbath keeping
Christians do know all
about the
health message of
the
Bible and how certain
foods
defile and sicken the body.
And so, many of them will not
take the
vaccine. If they do take the
vaccine then Satan knows he
can have more power to
tempt them with the final test
that all this is leading up
to.
As we know by just looking into Revelation 14:12 wherein it shows why certain Christians will never get the mark, the devil needs to know who in all the different Sabbath keeping churches will deny their Christian faith and get the vaccine just so they can have the ability to travel, keep their jobs or just enter some stores as the vaccine is already being used as a way to remove such freedoms as we speak. If you have eyes that see, what they’re doing with the vaccine is actually just a dry run on how they will enforce the mark of the beast by the prevention of buying and selling. They need to see how forcing some Christians will work for them.
Today, most people in all denominations will do whatever the government asks and so they’re already bowing to the lies spread by politicians under Satan’s control. But the obedient Christians refuse to do such things and Satan knows it. And yes, this is why Doug Batchelor and Stephen Bohr of the apostate SDA church are trying their best to move the Seventh Day Adventist people to get the vaccines so as to make sure they are in Satan’s camp when the mark of the beast is finally enforced. How so?
As we know according to the Bible, the mark of the beast is a religious law. That law is a man-made religious holy day. In fact, the Vatican boasts twice in writing that their invented Sunday Sabbath is their supposed mark of authority over the Bible. In fact, Roman Catholic President John F Kennedy signed the Sunday law (blue laws) into existence during his administration forcing all government agencies to close on Sundays which then set the stage for what President Donald J Trump signed on the Sabbath evening of December 02, 2017. But Trump’s signature also gave the pastors and ministers the legal power to lobby for religious laws from their pulpits exactly as prophecy said they would.
In short, Kennedy’s signature made all government agencies required to keep the Roman Catholic Sabbath of Sunday holy by closing each week. Don’t believe me? Try to buy stamps on Sunday in your local Post Office. Trump’s signature finalized the deal by making all pastors and ministers with the long prophesied 501c3 official government agencies that very day granting them lobbying powers as well. That means they are right now required by law to keep Sunday holy as well.
Sure, the pastors and ministers don’t know this for the most part as ignorance is a major tool in Satan’s bag of tricks. None of them can understand prophecy unless they obey the God that wrote it. And 100% of all of them disobeyed Christ by joining their churches with the State to make money in the first place. They are the prophesied preachers of filthy lucre.
Satan set up the Sunday Sabbath of Rome back on March 07, 321AD so as to make sure by using something as simple as antiquity alone to CONvince all the Christians into thinking Sunday is the Sabbath simply because the Sabbath was supposedly changed so long ago, they now believe Sunday must be the real Sabbath. But the obedient people of God never followed his lead. The wise, blessed and obedient Christians have been keeping the Seventh Day Sabbath ever since they were first called Christians in Antioch 2000 years ago.
And yes, changing it in 321AD proves Rome lied again when they said they were the first Christian church which kept Sunday holy since Jesus resurrected. If that were true, why did they have to use the political power of Constantine to enforce Sunday laws three centuries after Christ arose? It’s because all the Christians were still keeping the Sabbath at that time exactly as Jesus said they would be all the way till the end.
The 4th Commandment is how God’s people has been able to declare for literally eons which God it is they worship. The Sun worshipping Pagans on the other hand have always worshipped their false god Baal on the day of the Sun.
And so, this false Sabbath had to be well set in the foundation of the church for centuries in advance so that by today, the grand majority of the Christians will already be keeping Sunday holy. This also means, since all these pastors and ministers signed unto the 501c3, they will most assuredly obey the government and not only keep Sunday holy, as the majority already do, they will also help the government pass religious laws to try and quench the final message of the Lord through His obedient remnant people when we go forth the warn the world about the true definition of the mark of the dying beast and the seal of the living God.
And yes, this is why they’re trying to pass laws to make travel impossible without the vaccine. It worked well and therefore means when they decide to use this to prevent Christians that refuse to keep Sunday holy from travelling to spread the truth, they will have the infrastructure already in place. But the Lord has already revealed unto His people how we will get around that as well.
The 501c3 granted the apostate pastors and ministers the ability to lobby for religious laws on December 02, 2017. If they refuse, they will have their bank accounts ceased and tax exemption removed. And it’s all their own fault, for they willingly signed the contract with the second beast of Revelation because they worshipped the money over and above the Creator God of the Sabbath.
And yes, this is why the SDA church has dozens of Sunday keeping churches open as we speak. The Roman infiltrators in the SDA church knew all along that in order to stay legally open as a church when the mark is enforced, they will have to keep Sunday as a Sabbath. And so, they too are all set and ready to do as prophesied. In fact, the General Conference leaders declared in writing that the many Sunday keeping SDA churches are no big deal. They are already indoctrinating their church members to follow their lead.
And for those that do not believe Sunday is the mark of the beast wherein even the Jews, who have always been known to keep the Sabbath, they will also be forced to break God’s Sabbath as well as keep the Roman Catholic Sabbath of Sunday. Truth is, they have been doing that for years now. Check out this video when you get time. Not only have they been keeping Sunday holy in Israel, they have passed laws in April of 2017 declaring it to be legal to break the true Sabbath of the Creator God.
Since the Jews, who have kept the Sabbath for thousands of years easily bowed to Rome’s demands as prophecy predicted they would do, the apostate SDA church that has declared in writing to be in agreement with Rome on many doctrines as well as sending SDA tithes to the Pope, they too will not only bow to Rome and do the same as the Jews have done for years; watch in the coming days how they will re-define doctrine and prophetic facts (also see this – and this) to make it appear that the mark of the beast isn’t actually about the Sunday sabbath of Rome at all.
As prophesied; the SDA church will actually be very instrumental in trying to stop the obedient remnant people that have left their churches from going forth to warn all that will listen that Sunday is the mark of the dying beast and the 7th day Sabbath of the Creator, is the seal of the living God.
And for those of you still riding the fence on believing Sunday laws will be enforced soon as the prophesied mark of the beast, have you seen the U.S. Government's plans listed in PROJECT 2025 yet? If not, I placed the entire PDF of "PROJECT 2025" on my server. I did that because experience has shown me that the Government often moves and archives such things once the public finds out about it.
If you want to skip all the boring legal jargon, just hit "F3" once you're on the page and type in the word "Sabbath" in the query box and read on! That's right! Since it was prophesied to begin first in America, talking points for Sunday Laws in the USA HAS BEGUN! That not only vindicates the people of God called to declare this present truth the last 2 decades or so, it also shows those pastors that said we were wrong or even "crazy" are now confirmed to be of the "many false prophets" Jesus warned us all of in Matthew 24:11. It also shows how accurate and unchangeable Christian prophecy really is!
There are many people all around the World that claim Jesus Christ is Lord, but when the Lord looks upon them from above, does He see them as being honest? Is He really their Lord? Or is it that they only claim to be Christians so as to look good to themselves and others they strive to impress as the prophecy of Isaiah 4:1 declares most will be doing in these last days.
Being a Christian means we are followers of Jesus the Christ. This is where the title “Christian” actually comes from. The Dictionary’s first definition of the word “Christian” is “Professing belief in Jesus as Christ, or following the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus.” In other words, whatever Jesus did was to be an example unto us to follow. Now there are many things Jesus did that most Christians do in fact emulate. But what many are unaware of is there is one thing they have all been taught to forget for almost 2000 years now. In fact, this was prophesied to occur long ago. The fourth commandment says,
Exodus 20:8-11, "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."
The Creator God is the one speaking here. He is the one that wrote this Law in Stone in ancient times. After He wrote it, the Bible says “…he gave unto Moses, (the) tables of stone, written with the finger of God." (Exodus 31:18) This is the very same God wherein "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." (John 1:3) This includes language as well as the individual words in languages. The Lord knew exactly what the word “remember” meant when He etched it in that stone long ago. He used it to both prophesy and illustrate Christians will be taught to forget His Sabbath in the future.
In fact, Daniel the prophet pointed out that there will be a beast in the last days that will "…think to change times and laws” (Daniel 7:25) of the Creator God. Did this really happen? Is there evidence today that Christians have been taught to forget the Sabbath of the God they worship? Can Christian prophecy really be that accurate?
In order to find out if this has happened. We need to find out what the Word of God says about the Sabbath. We also need to find out how Jesus Himself, our true and only example walked when He visited us 2000 years ago. Did He keep the seventh day Sabbath? Or did He worship on a different day of the week? Speaking of Jesus, the Apostle Luke says…
Luke 4:16, "…as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read."
According to the infallible Word of God; Jesus’ custom was in fact to keep Sabbath holy by entering into the church for worship each and every seventh day. Still, many have been taught that when Jesus died it would then be necessary to keep a different day holy in remembrance of His resurrection. It’s true we should acknowledge His death and resurrection. But according to the Apostle Paul, this is done by baptism.
Romans 6:3-5, "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:"
In other words, when you go under the water you symbolize His death and burial. When you come out of the water, you symbolize His resurrection. Merely stepping into a church on the day He arose each week simply cannot do this. In fact, if His resurrection was really the reason for going to church on Sunday, why is it no one goes to church every Friday? Isn’t that the day He died? Basic reality is, going to church on Sunday cannot possibly acknowledge His death and resurrection at all. Only baptism can do that.
Is there biblical evidence Jesus taught His followers that after His death that they would still be keeping the seventh day Sabbath? In Matthew 24:15-22 Jesus prophesies about the destruction of Jerusalem. Almost 40 years after He died and resurrected, this historic event did in fact take place just as He predicted it would.
“In A.D.66 when Cestius came against the city, but unaccountably withdrew, the Christians discerned in this the sign foretold by Christ, and fled while 1,100,000 Jews are said to have been killed in the terrible siege in A.D. 70.” -Eusebius, Church History, book 3, chap. 5
70AD is most assuredly after the cross of Christ when most believe the Sabbath was changed to a new day. Yet notice what Jesus tells His apostles in Matthew 24:20 when He prophesied about the destruction of Jerusalem. He said in Matthew 24:20, "But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:"
Jesus was unmistakably teaching them that they would still be keeping the seventh day Sabbath as Christians almost 40 years after He returned to His heavenly kingdom. In fact, directly after His death, when most believe the day was changed, we actually see New Testament Christians keeping the Sabbath holy according to the commandment. After Jesus died, the custom of the day back then was to anoint the body with spices and ointments for burial. But it was running late that Friday afternoon, and Sabbath was drawing near. When the women that were called to anoint our Saviour’s body finally made it to the tomb He was laid in, it was too late. Sabbath had already come, and they were unable to anoint Him. Instead, these New Testament Christians, “…rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment." - Luke 23:56
Some may ask, is there any other evidence that Christians kept the Sabbath holy after Jesus ascended into Heaven. Yes, there is.
On the island of Patmos, around 95AD, which is just over 60 years after Christ’s death and resurrection, we find the Apostle John declaring that he “…was in the Spirit on the Lord's day." (Revelation 1:10) However, many like to claim he is speaking of Sunday here because most churches today call Sunday the Lords day. Is there biblical evidence the Lord’s day is actually Sabbath and not Sunday? Isaiah the prophet said the Lord calls “…the sabbath, …my holy day,” He also said the Lord calls “…the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD” (Isaiah 58:13) So yes, the Lord’s day that John the Apostle was resting on was in fact the Sabbath day. Moreover, Jesus Himself said that, "The Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day." in Matthew 12:8.
For some, the Apostle Paul’s epistles are sought out because he was so prolific in his writings. One must also keep in mind that everything Paul ever wrote was written after the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. So, the question is, did Paul ever teach on this subject of resting on the Seventh day Sabbath in his epistles to the New Testament Christian church? It says in Hebrews 4:4,8,9 "For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God."
This passage clearly speaks of the seventh day as the day to rest. It also connects it with the same day God rested. In so doing it is twice confirming it is the Sabbath Paul is teaching on. In addition to that, in verse nine the word “rest” is used by Paul here which is actually a translation of the Hebrew word “Sabbatismo,” which in English is defined, “a keeping Sabbath.”

So yes, many years after the cross of Christ Paul did in fact teach that all New Testament Christians should keep the seventh day Sabbath holy unto the Lord. Me thinks this is why there’s actually a movement today to declare Paul’s writings untrustworthy. But then that’s to be expected this close to the end. For more info on that see this short study… https://remnantofgod.org/antiPaul1.htm
Another misconception is that the entire Law of God itself was somehow abolished at the cross, thereby making the Sabbath a day long forgotten. But did Jesus agree with such a thing? No, He did not. Jesus plainly says in Matthew 5:18, "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." In other words, not one speck of the Law will be done away with. In fact, John the Apostle many years after the cross of Christ said, "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." -1 John 2:4
The reason John calls them “a liar” is because of the biblical fact found in Hebrews 10:16 that says, "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;" And notice what it says in 2 Corinthians 3:3. It says, “Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.”
What that means is, when a person accepts Jesus Christ as Saviour, as promised in John 14:16,26; John 15:26 & John 16:7, Jesus will send the Holy Spirit to dwell in your hearts to help you keep the Ten Commandments. Therefore, if someone claims to be a Christian but refuses to keep the true Sabbath on the seventh day as God ordained in Eden and never changed, then that person is “a liar” as John stated. It’s just that simple.
Some churches also teach the Sabbath was only made for the Jews. Is this true? Or was it made for all of man? Well, Jesus clears up that misunderstanding when He says in Mark 2:27 that "..The Sabbath was made for man." Had it been only for the Jew, He would have said so plainly. In fact, at the end of creation week we find that God "…blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it.” (Genesis 2:3) Historic fact is, He did this upwards of 2500 years before a Jew was ever born. Adam and Eve were the first to keep Sabbath on the earth and neither of them were Jewish. And so the question mostly ignored is, if the Sabbath was made only for Jews, why is it no Jew was alive when the Sabbath was made 6000 years ago in creation week?
Still, some wonder if there is additional Scriptural evidence that people kept the Ten Commandments before the Jews arrived because most feel the Law wasn’t active until God wrote it with His finger on Mount Sinai in the presence of the Jewish nation. In spite of this wide spread misconception; we see that Scripture directly confirms, “…Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws." - Genesis 26:5
Long before the Jewish nation came into existence, and long after the Garden of Eden where the Sabbath was sanctified, we see Abraham, who was not Jewish was keeping the Commandments of God. So yes, people other than the Jewish nation kept the Sabbath long before the Jews came into existence. Abraham then confirms that Sabbath was made for man, just as Jesus said it was in Mark 2:27.
Some churches even go so far as to teach the Word of God is somehow incomplete in regards to all the Christian duty and therefore up to the leaders of the church to command holy traditions upon believers necessary to gain eternal life. However, the Apostle Paul stated clearly in Acts 20:20 that he has "…kept back nothing that was profitable unto you.” He also says in Acts 20:27 that he has, "…not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God." In other words, we already have all we need in the Scriptures to teach us how to gain Heaven.
Truth is, in the New Testament of the Christian Bible you will find 59 references to the Sabbath by name. Amazingly enough, the book of Acts alone records 84 separate Sabbaths on which the Apostle Paul and his associates held religious services for the newly formed Christian church long after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In fact, the book of Acts was written anywhere from 33 to 37 years after the ascension of Jesus Christ. Had the Sabbath truly been changed to Sunday as some believe is the case, why is it this book speaks of Sabbath as the seventh day in such great detail, yet never once associates Sunday, the first day of the week, with the title of Sabbath?
Another fact that becomes apparent through all this is the fact that the Sabbath was created by the Lord who stated in Malachi 3:6, "I am the Lord, I change not." Jesus Christ, who we learned earlier is Lord of the Sabbath is “…the same yesterday, and today, and for ever." (Hebrews 13:8) Jesus never changed, nor will He ever change, forever.
In reality, Scripture declares that all believers in Jesus Christ will be keeping His Sabbath throughout eternity in the city of Heaven. His prophet Isaiah proclaimed long ago that, "…from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD." -Isaiah 66:23
Our Christian Bible says "…God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it." (Genesis 2:3) It also says in this same bible that what this God has blessed, even He “…cannot reverse it.” (Numbers 23:20) "For Thou blessest, O Lord, and it shall be blessed for ever." -1 Chronicles 17:27
Since we already know that “…we ought to obey God rather than man.” (Acts 5:29) Why, as Christians, would we want to do anything but obey God? Both the Old and New Testaments agree that the children of God "…shall keep the Sabbath, …throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant." (Exodus 31:16) That is as permanent a command as it gets. The Lord has told us long ago that "…I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.” (Ezekiel 20:12) He also stated through His prophet Ezekiel the Sabbath “…shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God." -Ezekiel 20:20
Keeping the Sabbath proves we are God’s people. When we keep the Sabbath sanctified in creation week, we acknowledge the Lord as our Creator God. When we obey our Lord, we recognize Him as Lord. "Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” (Romans 6:16)
When we keep the Sabbath holy, we testify to all in the World that He is God, and there is no other. Simple reality confirms that no other god can truthfully be called Creator but the Christian God. Keeping a Sabbath created by man means we are obeying man over and above the Creator.
Keeping the Sabbath of the God of all creation means we are obeying, worshiping and testifying of our faith in that same Creator God. Truth be known, "…the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD." -Psalms 102:18
When man chooses to disobey God and keep a Sabbath made by man, Jesus said they will be making, "…the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition... But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." -Matthew 15:6,9
Some may declare this a foolish message because so called men of the cloth keep a different day holy other than the seventh day Sabbath of the Bible. Does this make them correct simply because they appear well learned? "For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called; but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty." (1 Corinthians 1:26,27) They may call us unlearned, and even fools. But the Lord is very capable of using our testimony to confound those that claim to be wise. If truth is what you seek, historic fact is that the supposed religious teachers in Christ's day also rejected many of His truths. Why would it be any different today?
The Apostles themselves were not considered men of the cloth by educational standards of the day, yet they too confounded the wise. Some were fishermen, tentmakers and one was a tax collector. Yet all us Christians base our religion on their inspired testimony and we ignore the proven unwise testimony of the Scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees to this day.
If we choose to follow so-called educated men, we will always fall short. "…let God be true, but every man a liar” (Romans 3:4) It can’t be said any plainer than, “we ought to obey God rather than man.” (Acts 5:29) Yes, they usually appear godly, but the Word says they are only “having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” (-2 Timothy 3:5) If these men, with their various educational degrees and years of book knowledge continue to ignore straightforward Bible truths regarding the Sabbath, they have already proven themselves confounded, for they are, "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." -2 Timothy 3:7
I understand this truth I am sharing at this moment can cause some to fear the wrath of God for sins committed in years past. Or worse yet, what of their loved ones that went to their graves truly believing a different day of the week was the Sabbath of God. The Word says, at the “…time of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent." (Acts 17:30) In other words, you are not held accountable for things you truly never knew were sin. However now that you personally do understand the truth regarding Sabbath, you are called to repent this day. If you truly are a Christian, then you would prefer to please the Lord you love. And He does declare, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments." In John 14:15.
As Christians we strive to gain eternal life. But the enemy of souls has devised a plan wherein he makes obedience appears to become a chore. Even though we know it is written that "If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." (Matthew 19:17)
Yes, some believe they keep them, but when it comes to the fourth commandment, they are taught it is acceptable to break it. They fail to realize that, "…whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." (James 2:10) They also fail to realize they “…shall be judged by the law.” (James 2:12)
For hundreds of years Christians have been taught it is sin to worship false gods, bow down before idols, take the Lord’s name in vain, dishonor their parents, kill their fellow man, commit adultery, steal, bear false witness and covet their neighbors’ goods. For it is plainly written in both the Old and New Testaments that, "…sin is the transgression of the law." (1 John 3:4) But they look upon the fourth commandment as somehow acceptable to ignore.
One of the reasons they do this is because the enemy of souls has taught them that they would be seeking Heaven by their own abilities or works. They know that it is "Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:9) So they fall for the lie that to obey the Law is man’s desire to create his own path to Heaven. But the Lord that never changes has given us "…the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." (Ecclesiastes 12:13)
Some have stated quite effectively over the years that all they need to do is believe in Jesus Christ and they will achieve Heaven. Many essentially feel there is no need to follow His teachings. Simply wearing a cross on their body becomes all they feel is necessary. If that’s the case, then Satan will also gain Heaven. For it is written in James 2:19 that, "…the devils also believe, and tremble." Anyone can believe. But "…faith without works is dead" -James 2:20
Look to Adam and Eve for a moment. Did they not believe in God? Pretty hard not to one would think seeing how each day they "…heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day” (Genesis 3:8) They had no problem whatsoever believing in Him because they saw Him with their very own eyes. If just believing God exists will gain you Heaven, why were they kicked from the Garden? It was because they disobeyed the Lord that created them.
Jesus is our Creator, "And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him." (Hebrews 5:9) Still some feel that if they keep one day in seven each week, that will somehow be sufficient and satisfactory to God. Unfortunately, this happens to be a common deception among Christians today. Their assumption becomes their undoing, because the Word plainly says "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man; but the end thereof are the ways of death." (Proverbs 16:25) One of the main reasons they miss this simple truth is because "Spiritual things...are spiritually discerned." (1 Corinthians 2:13,14) Even though they go through life claiming Christ Lord, they ignore the fact that once this truth is brought to them, and they reject it, all their preaching, all their praising, and all their testifying of the Lord throughout the entire world won’t change a thing in regards to their eternal destination. For Jesus Himself said "Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 7:21)
Even those that pray without ceasing, if they ignore this simple truth, they will find their prayers falling on deaf ears because the Lord God already declared long ago that "He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination." (Proverbs 28:9)
A decision has to be made in the Christian heart. They need to look at what’s more important. Their love for God, or their love for the world. The enemy of souls has made it not only convenient to work on Sabbath day, he has made it appear a necessity if the Christian wants to be able to keep their job and care for their families. But I ask, “…what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36) Truth is, “Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things; but seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6:32,33) For it is a well-known biblical and modern day fact that Christians “…have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." (Psalm 37:25)
Please, do as your Lord commands, so that when you walk towards Him on that first day of eternity you will clearly hear Him say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." -Matthew 25:21
If you’re a newly born Christian, or have been one for many years, you need to know the Holy Spirit is promised unto you in John 14:15-17 wherein Jesus your Saviour said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” (Also see Luke 24:49 & John14:26)
Titus 1:2 says that, “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;” and He also said in Malachi 3:6, “For I am the LORD, I change not.” And just to lock this biblical fact down even tighter, it says in Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
That all being said, it appears rather plain that God would never lie to you, nor would He ever change His Word and especially His law so as to confuse you by saying one thing in His Bible and another thing from a preacher who claims to echo His Word in a sermon. And so, with that understanding clarified in your heart and mind, why did the never changing Lord Jesus Christ promise to send you the Holy Spirit (Comforter) to reside in your heart? It’s because He knew we need help to keep His law in this very wicked world wherein the devil constantly tempts everyone to break God’s law each and every hour of the day. And why is breaking God’s law such a big thing? 1 John 3:4 says that, “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” And so, we need help to fight the devil. And how does the Holy Spirit help us? Hebrews 10:16 says, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;”
Since the Bible clearly says the Holy Spirit places the law (Ten Commandments of God) in your heart, and Isaiah 8:16 also says that God will “Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.” Where I ask in the law is His seal to be found that grants God true judicial power to pardon or not to pardon when it comes to those that break His law?
Before being able to understand this for some young in Christ, I believe it’s best to see how God has moved mankind to create governments on earth using His very same Heavenly administrative format because, being a God of perfection, He knows how well it works.
When mankind passes a Bill into law, that law has to be sealed for it to ever be considered a valid and enforceable law. Reason being is, that’s how it works in Heaven. After all, Jesus did say in Matthew 6:10 that it is His Father’s will that “will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” And so, it is. Therefore, let’s see how man seals his law first so as to better understand how God seals His.
THE SEAL OF MAN
All governments have an official seal that without it, no Bill can ever become a valid law with judicial power to enforce it. After a new Bill is passed by Congress, the President is the one that gives power unto the law by placing his official seal of approval on it. Each governmental signature must have three distinct features to make it an official SEAL upon that law so as to grant the government power to enforce it.
If George Washington were President today, his signature or “seal” would read as follows.
The official seal is then recorded as; “George Washington, President, of the United States.”
Now let’s look at how God signs or seals His law so as to give it power. Of course, the only difference being is that since He is an eternal God that never changes, His law would be permanent and eternal because the simple reality is, His government is in fact eternal. So, where in His Law do we find the official signature of God? It’s actually quite simple to find.
As we know, the law of the land in New Jerusalem (Heaven) is in fact the Ten Commandments. To verify that as fact, it says in Revelation 22:14, “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”
That city is Heaven and no one can enter in unless they keep God’s law. Now do you see why the Holy Spirit was sent to help us keep it? In fact, that is why Jesus said in Matthew 7:20-21, “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
That is also why we need a Saviour. Jesus came and died for all those that have sinned so that we don’t have to die eternally. For it also says in Romans 3:10 that “There is none righteous, no, not one:” And it says in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
And finally, it says in John 1:29 that one day “John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
Jesus is the only way to be saved. If Jesus didn’t die for us as He did 2000 years ago, none of us would have a way to enter into Heaven. God’s law CANNOT be broken by anyone that wants to live in His city for eternity wherein His Ten Commandments are the laws of the land. In fact, we all deserve to die for breaking His law. But if we accept Jesus as our Saviour, then Jesus stands before His Father to declare we are worthy to enter in and live eternally because He took our place in death. It literally says in 1 John 4:10, “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” The word “propitiation” means “atonement.” Our sins are 100% gone once we accept what Jesus did on that cross. Better yet, with the Holy Spirit in us, we now have the power to keep His law. We are literally sealed by God as His children when we obey Him. Since His law is written in our hearts via the Holy Spirit, we now have the seal of God within us as long as we stay faithful to Him. And so where is that official seal in His Ten Commandments proving all this?
Notice how Commandment #4 is written in His eternal law
Exodus 20:8-11 “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”
As we can see, Commandment #4 speaks of Him being the Creator God of all things when it says, “in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is.” Now notice the three distinct features of the eternal law of God.
THE SEAL OF GOD
God’s official seal is: “The Lord, Creator of Heaven and Earth.”
If we remain faithful unto God till the day we die, or the plagues of Revelation begin, then we will be blessed with eternal life. And today, it’s especially important to understand this for soon Satan will use a twisted version of God’s law to try and force all people, Christians and non-Christians alike, to keep his law instead of God’s law. How do I know this?
We just read Commandment #4. Did you notice the word REMEMBER in that Commandment? This one word has a very important reason for being there. In fact, it’s so important that this word “REMEMBER” is the only prophetic statement found in our God’s eternal Ten Commandments.
We learned previously that this ever-living God we worship cannot lie nor will He ever change; and so with that unchangeable truth in mind, why would He have to use the word “REMEMBER” in His law? It’s because this never-ending God told us in Isaiah 46:10 that He sees “the end from the beginning.” He knew long ago that Satan would find a way to make most of mankind, and this includes most of the end time Christians, to forget God’s law so as to con them all into worshiping him as a god instead of the immovable Creator God. Satan must do this especially now since his time is so short. All the prophecies regarding the end have been fulfilled with the exception of a few; and all of those left to fulfill already have their foundations set in stone!
The Lord used the word “REMEMBER” knowing most Christians will be taught to forget His law right before He returns. Seriously, look around. How many Christians do you know that keep God’s Law right down to keeping the seventh day Sabbath with the word “REMEMBER” in it? Literally BILLIONS keep Sunday holy as we speak.
This is also why the Lord moved the prophet Daniel to prophesy in Daniel 7:25 that Satan will use a certain religiopolitical (church&state) power in the last days that will not only “wear out the saints of the most High” by killing them by the hundreds of millions as we saw him doing during the Inquisitions of Rome, this very same wicked power will also “think to change times and laws” of God so as to cause billions to obey, which in biblical terms means to worship Satan instead of God.
For an in depth look at what Christian prophecy and historic record outlines in vivid detail as to who the “man of sin” that killed hundreds of millions of Christians during the dark ages, as well as blaspheming in writing more than once claiming to have the power to change God’s law; see…
Satan, who lived in Heaven before sin was found in him, knows all about God’s SEAL and how it is extremely important in that eternal city. Satan purposely used the man of sin on earth and all the pastors of the world that Revelation 13:3 said will follow his sinful lead causing nearly all Christians to believe the law of God was changed. This evil act literally makes Satan become “a god” in the eyes of all those Christians that trust his lies about God’s law changing. Worse yet, thanks to all the pastors following the lead of the man of sin, they have hidden this prophesied fact from most Christians for centuries as also prophesied.
Jesus said in Matthew 5:19 that, “Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
Since all Christians know that when we gain Heaven we will “reign with Christ” as He promised us in many verses from the Old to the New Testament; that means to be called “least” in the kingdom of Heaven means they will not be there. But then we already discovered that earlier by reading Revelation 22:14 that said only those keeping the Ten Commandments enter the city of Heaven.
Satan did this because he has always wanted to be worshipped as a god. In fact, notice these words spoken to Satan in Isaiah 14:12-14 where it says, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, …For thou hast said in thine heart, …I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”
Satan knows all about how God’s law works and how it was sealed by the God of all creation for eternity, and so in order to pretend to be a god, he had to counterfeit God’s law so as to cause billions to worship him thinking they are worshipping the God of the Bible. Unless you study the Bible daily, it’s impossible to see Satan’s stealthy attacks against you.
Biblical fact is, to obey him is to worship him. For the warning is clearly penned in Romans 6:16 that says, “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”
This is why Satan had to use God’s perfect and eternal law that contains that seal as a way to cause billions to worship him over God. Nothing else would work for him like this. He truly wants people to worship him!
In short, if you obey God and keep His law, you clearly worship Him. But if you obey Satan’s law that is a twist on God’s law, then you clearly worship Satan. This is why when the Bible speaks of the mark of the beast or its image, the word “WORSHIP” is always right there with it. To keep this short, I will only share two verses regarding this prophesied fact.
This is why so many pastors now claim the law of God was “abolished at the cross” when all obedient Bible students know for a fact that is a lie from the beast and his dying god. (Satan) For if the Law was really abolished when Christ died on the cross, why does the apostle John say upwards of six decades later in 1 John 2:4 that, “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”
And so, the question is, who is lying here? The pastor that keeps Sunday holy under direction of the man of sin wherein neither of them can offer a single Bible verse to prove the Sabbath was changed to Sunday? Or John, an apostle of Jesus Christ, as well as over 100 verses from the Bible proving it was never changed? For if you’re a Christian, then you must obey the God of the Bible even if a pastor demands otherwise. For it was also declared after the cross by the apostle Peter in Acts 5:29 that, “We ought to obey God rather than men.”
Again, as I shared a moment ago, Paul said in Romans 6:16, “to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;”
As I also shared earlier, and to lock down the fact that obedient Christians will keep God’s law due to the Holy Spirit dwelling in them, notice again what it says about all the Christians that are allowed into Heaven after all is said and done when Jesus takes us home to Heaven. It says in Revelation 22:14, “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”
That tree of life is in the midst of that city, and as we know, that city is New Jerusalem or “Heaven” as most Christians call it today. But the key here is that if the Ten Commandments were abolished at the cross, as 100% of every Sunday keeping pastor says today, why is it the Lord declares only those that keep His law are blessed and allowed to enter Heaven? And why is it we see this final truth filled statement in the last book of the Bible, the last chapter of that book, and even the last page of that chapter? It’s because our God KNEW Christians would be taught to forget His law. And since He knows the end from the beginning, He purposely made this final statement about the Ten Commandments on the very last page of the Bible to prove His law never changed a bit before, during or after the cross.
In fact, Jesus said in Matthew 5:18, “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” Now look around .. is the earth still here? Look up? Is the sky still blue?
Yes, billions of Christians do keep Sunday holy, and yes many have gone to the grave thinking Sunday was the Sabbath; but we worship a merciful God who knows if they truly didn’t understand it was a sin to break His Sabbath, they won’t be held accountable. Rome burned Bibles as well as innocent Christians that refused to give up their Bibles. They even translated the Bible into Latin so no one could understand it back then. And so, many people truly had no idea that the Sabbath never changed even to this day thanks to the Popes of Rome doing as they did. The Christians that died without knowing were as faithful as they knew to be. That means all is well and they will gain Heaven when they arise. So don’t worry about your loved ones that have gone to sleep in the grave as obedient Christians. This God we worship read their hearts and He knows if they were truly as faithful as they could be with the information they had. For it is written plainly in Acts 17:30 that, “the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:”
Basic reality is this. And this is especially important to know today. The mark is soon to be enforced. All that’s needed to enforce it is part of society right now thanks to the infrastructure they built using their so-called pandemic. They even tested preventing people from gaining access to businesses without a mask or vaccine in previous years during the so-called pandemic to assure the “buy & sell” portion of the mark will work when they enforce it. All they need to do is change the words “mask and vaccine” to “climate change and Sunday laws.” All the governments need to do is enforce these strange laws that are already on the books.
Soon this truth about God’s law will go global as the FINAL WARNING unto all mankind. And because the truth moves many hearts around the world to repent, the man of sin be angered to the point he will use religious laws in the coming days to try and stop the truth from spreading by claiming all must keep Sunday holy to stop what he calls climate change disasters when in fact the Bible calls the final signs of Christ’s return.
Think about this basic reality that only our generation will witness. Christians today don’t have the option to plead ignorance like our parents or grandparents did in their day because most of them had no idea about what’s being declared today and even more so in the prophesied loud cry.
The final warning that is soon to be proclaimed will be blessed with perfect words wherein everyone on the planet will know exactly what God’s seal and what Rome’s mark is. And what is Rome’s mark you ask?
I will let the Vatican itself explain that one with their very own words.
“Sunday is founded, not of scripture, but on tradition. As there is no scripture for the transfer of the day of rest from the last to the first day of the week, Protestants ought to keep their Sabbath on Saturday and thus leave Catholics in full possession of Sunday.” – Catholic Record, September 17, 1893.
“Sunday is our MARK of authority. . .the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact” Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1,1923 (See MANY MORE quotes like this here)
The Sunday Sabbath of today is nothing more than a satanic suggestion to make billions think that it somehow must be approved of God simply because so many people have been keeping it holy for literally centuries. But even that is a lie. How so?
Rome has been saying for centuries that the Sabbath was changed to Sunday 2000 years ago when Jesus arose. Besides the fact that they admit to having not one single Bible verse to prove that actually happened, and I prove what I just said on in a video and on this page; the Bible not only declares the Sabbath to be day Seven all throughout the Old and New Testament Bible, back on March 07, 321AD the Bishop of Rome moved Constantine to enforce the first Sunday laws to force Christians who kept the seventh Day Sabbath to break it. (See more proof on that here – remnantofGod.org/321AD.htm)
Fact is, if the Sabbath was changed to Sunday when Jesus resurrected in 31AD as the Popes and all those apostate pastors that follow the Pope claim to this day, then why did the Bishop of Rome and Constantine have to pass a law to force Christians to keep Sunday holy 290 years later in 321AD? It’s because NONE of the obedient Christians were keeping Sunday holy. Not a single one of them!
Satan knew he had to get them to keep it holy back then so that many centuries later in our day he could use something as outlandish as antiquity to cause most Christians to keep Sunday holy by thinking it truly was changed because so many Christians kept it holy for so long.
Satan had to do this centuries ago to make his mark appear holy today causing billions to worship him directly before Jesus returns. No, Satan will never talk about how he used fear, torture and death upon hundreds of millions that were martyred by his man of sin when they tried to force many to keep Sunday holy as well as other Pagan doctrines. No, he prefers to hide all that by only declaring unto the lost souls today that since so many kept it holy for centuries, it must be the true Sabbath. But the Bible proves that a lie many times over.
Rome claims the Sabbath changed 2000 years ago and most Christians believe that today exactly as prophesied in Revelation 13:3. But God’s law was written in Heaven 6000 years ago before mankind was ever created. But, if you want to only believe it was penned in Moses’ day upwards of 1450 years earlier than the year Jesus arose, then I have to ask; if antiquity is the proof; then wouldn’t God’s law that was penned 3450 years ago in Moses day or 6000 years ago when the angel’s kept it Psalms 103:20 be the more trusted law? If being “old” is the proof, then the 6000-year-old Ten Commandments that never changed IS PROOF.
Praise God that this demonic change was also prophesied by the prophet Daniel who said what he did in Daniel 7:25. When speaking of the beast system in Rome, Daniel said Satan would use the man of sin in Rome to “think to change times and laws” of God. Which further confirms why our God used the word “REMEMBER” in Commandment #4.
The basic reality is that before Satan is able to make his so-called “sabbath of Sunday” appear lawful and enforceable upon mankind, he needs to give his so-called “pastors” (“the many false prophets”) absolute power over church & state just as he granted Rome during the Inquisition. Hence the BILL #501c3 needed to be written and come into law in the USA as well as under different titles in all nations the world over, which is a “physical” image of the beast power in Rome that will also become his “spiritual or religious” law at its enforcement as the “mark of the beast.”
The only way to get a 501c3 in America is to join your church with the state so as to create an image of the beast power’s “church & state” structure that since 538AD allowed the Popes absolute civil and religious power to legally torture and kill hundreds of millions of Christians that refused to go against what the Bible said. They refused to obey (worship) the man of sin (Pope) and his dying god, (Satan) and so they died a martyr’s death. Seeing how the Protestant leaders already have the “physical” image of the beast, soon they will echo this exact same demonic or “spiritual” image to go forth to persecute and kill Christians as Rome did in the Inquisitions.
So, look around today and ask yourself, is it working? Is the prophecy fulfilled? Yes, it’s working and has been fulfilled. 99.9% of ALL Christian churches now keep Sunday holy instead of the true seventh day Sabbath due to what started under the Bishop of Rome who controlled Constantine politically and religiously back on March 07, 321AD. And yes, this includes the Seventh day Adventist church that right now has dozens of Sunday keeping churches open so as to stay in business when Sunday laws are enforced in the coming days. For if they remain as true Sabbath keepers as they claim to be, they know they will be shut down, and so they recently opened dozens of churches that keep Sunday holy to please the Pope in Rome, who by the way also receives tithes from the SDA leaders as we speak.
As a side note worth mentioning;
President GW Bush’s Executive Order of EO #13397 was also signed on MARCH 07, 2006 to echo the 321AD law on the very same day of the year so as to mock the Lord regarding His Ten Commandment Law that the Bishop of Rome & Constantine passed long ago by giving temporary power unto the 501c3 so as to “test” how well indoctrinated and or obedient all the 501c3 pastors were, and it appears the test was a success because later in 2017, Trump made it law on Dec 06, 2017 on the true SABBATH so as to directly mock God’s SEAL by breaking His law and His Commandment that holds the seal in one fell swoop!
Soon, they will use this law to prevent buying and selling (as they tested in the pandemic) unto all that refuse to keep Sunday holy, and then death unto all that continue to refuse to comply. (See Revelation 13:14-18) And by the way, there were some very strange things that happened after Trump signed the 501c3 into law to keep a stealthy approach on it that if you want the details, go to my image of the beast page and read what they did with the GOP tax bill when you get time.
As the calamities get worse, and as we have seen lately, they are increasing. In fact, I created a new page on the site back in January of 2022 listing them if you want to see how this gets off the chart.
Soon, their so-called climate change will be used to push Sunday laws. And this is regardless of the fact that 47,487 scientists have presented documented PROOF the Pope is lying on this. (See this & this) They will still claim keeping Sunday holy will stop all the calamities when in reality they will make them much worse. In fact, when they pass the BILL to kill the obedient remnant Christians who know why our God said to “REMEMBER” His Sabbath day, as soon as they pass that law, the plagues of Revelation will begin.
As for the 666 that many ask me about. It’s not the mark. Revelation 13:17,18 clearly says it is the number of a man’s NAME. That man is the Pope.
Each title of the office of Pope is a Latin title. The Latin alphabet is not just their alphabet, it’s also their numeric system, or “Roman Numerals” as most call it. All one needs to do is spell out the given names and official titles of the office of Popes over the centuries and then add them up individually. Each one = 666. The MAIN title is… Vicarivs Filii Dei. (See all the titles listed here… remnantofGod.org/666.htm)

THE
FINAL WARNING
Will
you
blaspheme the Holy Ghost?
How does one blaspheme the Holy Ghost?
Jesus Christ said in Matthew 12:31-32, “Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.”
Why is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost so deadly? And why is it an unpardonable sin? This is so very important to comprehend properly. What I need to share first before explaining the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit has to be well-understood before being able to realize just how deadly this type of blasphemy actually is.
Satan plans to cause billions of Christians and non-Christians to blaspheme the Holy Ghost in our day by causing them to openly deny the God of the Bible by doing the exact opposite of what the Christian God commands them to do directly before the plagues begin and the world comes to an end. In fact, Satan knows Christian prophecy better than anyone alive and so he also knows he has very little time to do what he hopes to do to billions of unsuspecting souls, wherein MOST are Christians. This is what he has been planning since the Garden of Eden and he is extremely angry because he is about to die soon. That means he is especially focused on all his final plans to lure billions into hellfire with him. In fact, it says in Revelation 12:12 that “the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
There is something the Creator God planned eons ago that when performed and then embraced as truth by mankind, will allow man to gain eternal life. Yes, I am talking about what Jesus did for all of us on Calvary wherein the salvation in Jesus Christ is assured to all; but, and Satan knows all about this and this is why he focuses his attack here, Satan knows that unless we accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour, we will be overcome by him and then made unable to escape the wrath of God in the plagues and then hellfire.
As most Christians know, Jesus died on the cross to give all of us a way to escape that hellfire. Many fail to realize a promise made by Christ that grants us power to defeat Satan in a certain way most preachers never speak on because they have yet been unable to do, for the only way to explain such things, the man preaching it must be one who has done that which is required by God for anyone to gain Heaven.
The end result of this promised power granted unto all OBEDIENT Christians is declared clearly in Revelation 22:14. This truth that is rarely preached is the means by which we gain Heaven. It says, “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” – That city is HEAVEN!
Most Christian churches today are preaching the Law of God was abolished at the cross, yet this passage clearly says, unless you keep God’s Law, you cannot enter Heaven. And no, I am not saying we keep the Commandments to get saved; we keep them because we are saved. The basic truth is, no man can keep God’s Law and Satan knows this. For he is the one that has caused billions to break it. This is why he does all he can to move the “many false prophets” Jesus spoke of that people call pastors in our day in Matthew 24:11. Satan got all of them to preach “another Jesus” exactly as prophesied in 2Corinthians 11:4. This was done to prevent billions from discovering the amazing promise Jesus made regarding the God given ability to keep God’s Law for every obedient Christian. In fact, this is why Jesus said in Matthew 7:20 that it is “by their fruits ye shall know them.”
Jesus knows when this power is within us, we will know each other just by how we are able to keep God’s law. And what is this promised power? Hebrews 10:16 says, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;”
That all being said, what I am about to share has to do with a final warning that will be given directly before plague #1 begins because Christian prophecy can NOT be changed. Satan knows the Holy Spirit will go forth among the obedient remnant people to move them to explain to all that will listen what the clear Biblical difference is between the Seal of God and the Mark of the Beast. When we go forth with this final warning, which some of us have already begun to do recently, the words God gives us will cause everyone on earth to know exactly what the seal and the mark is. How they react to this truth dictates whether they will obey God to receive His seal of salvation, or blaspheme the Holy Ghost to receive the mark of damnation.
Now, since we know Satan uses God’s Word in a twisted manner to pull people into his dying camp by creating counterfeit worship to the point there are now over 44,000 “Christian” denominations on earth, which if you look closely, you will that find billions of Christians have been taught to worship many different pagan gods for eons.
The long-prophesied mark of the beast will be a twist on the seal of God in Heaven. This twist will appear as being a religious doctrine wherein billions of Christians will actually believe to be truth when in fact it is nothing of the sort. In fact, any babe in Christ with a Bible in hand can prove what the mark is now, but only if they study the Word of God and obey the Lord as His Word directs, for the only way to understand doctrine or prophecy is to obey the God that wrote it.
In order to better understand how this twist will cause many to receive the mark of the beast instead of the seal of God in the very near future; let’s look at how an official seal is made by the governments of the world to better understand how God made His own seal 6000 years ago.
THE OFFICIAL SEAL OF MAN
All governments, must have an official SEAL that the President of these governments must use to put his signature on each and every Bill that becomes law so as to make it valid. In this seal are 3 main features to validate it as an official seal.
As an example; if George Washington were president today, his seal would be:
Collectively this official government seal would read, “George Washington, President, of the United States.”
Seeing how God is eternal, His seal will also be eternal in His law even unto this day because it clearly says in Malachi 3:6, “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” And just so you know, the reason the sons of Jacob “are not consumed” here is because when you obey the Lord, He protects you and brings you to an expected end wherein you won’t be consumed in hellfire. For it is written in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
Now notice what it says in Commandment #4 where the Seal of God is actually located. Exodus 20:8-11 says, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.”
Did you catch that? It clearly says, “the LORD made heaven and earth” in that commandment. That’s the seal! It has the exact same three features that every government seal has had since time began. And so, just as the seal of the president of the USA has 3 main features to make it valid; since government leaders copied God’s Seal long ago when all governments were first formed; common sense dictates that the Seal of God will have the same 3 features as well; but in the case of an eternal God, His seal is valid for all eternity because not only did Malachi the prophet declare our God never changes, it says in Hebrews 13:8 that, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” as well. God’s Seal really is eternal.
Notice the 3 main features of the Seal of God here when God said “the Lord Made Heaven and Earth”
Collectively the official seal of God reads, “The Lord, Creator of Heaven and Earth”
There you have it! The Seal of the living God is found in the midst of the Ten Commandments! Better yet, it’s found in the one Commandment that if kept by man confirms he believes in the God that “made Heaven and Earth” by resting on the Sabbath as He commended him to rest so as to be reminded every week for all of eternity that we have a loving God who cares for us. In fact, it says in Psalms 77:11, “I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.” And in Psalms 111:4, “He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.” And finally in Psalms 119:55, it says, “I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.”
To further lock this down, did you also notice the word REMEMBER in the first verse of Commandment #4 as it is written in Exodus 20:8-11? Were you aware that word “REMEMBER” is not just a loving tug on the heart of His obedient children to “remember thy wonders of old;” that word REMEMBER” is the only prophetic statement made in God’s Law. He purposely used that single word to warn us that Satan will see to change His law by moving the corrupt pastors in the fallen churches of the final days which prophetically speaking is “in the night” so as to cause BILLIONS to blaspheme the Holy Spirit right before Jesus returns.
The devil purposely twisted many Bible truths in the churches for thousands of years and then as prophesied by Jesus in Matthew 24:11, Satan moved all the fallen preachers he controls in the last days to cause them to preach the Sabbath of the Creator God was changed so as to nullify the official “Seal of God” knowing that if the Christians believe this lie about the Sabbath changing to Sunday, their obedience will be shifted unto trusting Satan’s law, thereby making him “a god” in their eyes which was actually prophesied.
The prophet Isaiah stated that Satan will cause most of the world to worship him over God. Isaiah 14:12-14 says that Satan actually said he will “be like the most High” God of the Bible to most people on earth in the last days. Looking forward thousands of years from Isaiah’s day, we see that this prophecy did in fact fulfill to the letter because most Christians today do in fact obey Satan over the Creator God by keeping Sunday holy which means they now worship and obey Satan, even though God lovingly tried to warn them so clearly in His law to “REMEMBER the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”
The Biblical and prophesied fact is that whenever the mark of the beast or the image of the beast is mentioned in prophecy, the word “WORSHIP” is right there with it in each and every verse thereby proving it’s prophesied to be a religious law. (See Revelation 13:12, 13:15, 14:9 & 14:11) This is why Satan moved all the pastors today to repeatedly say the law of God was abolished at the cross to keep his lie intact for centuries, even though the Bible actually says over 50 years after the cross in 1John 2:4 that “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”
To further lock this down in the heart, the Lord moved the prophet Daniel to warn all that study His Word as Jesus commanded they should in Matthew 24:15 that Satan would use Rome to change the Sabbath in Daniel 7:25. And again, this is why the Lord used the word REMEMBER in commandment #4.
Now for the nuts and bolts of this prophesied event we see fulfilling in our lifetime. It says in Revelation 13:15 that the US government (second beast) will have “power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” And if you want biblical and historic info regarding what the “image of the beast” is, see this study and stack of videos I posted online here … https://remnantofgod.org/image.htm
In prophecy, the term “speak” means to lobby law. The word “cause” means to enforce it. (See James 2:12, Daniel 11:39 & Mark 13:12) If you want all the definitions of prophetic symbols, see this study – https://remnantofgod.org/books/docs/REV/Revelation.htm
Soon, the Pope’s false and fabricated science of global warming which was recently re-titled as “climate change” due to over 31,000 scientists proving him wrong, the Pope will soon claim under guidance of “another Jesus” that Sunday laws are needed to stop the climate change disasters, for in so doing he will claim doing so will appease God, and He will stop the disasters. See many videos and articles proving he has been pushing this prophesied agenda for many years here… https://remnantofgod.org/climatechange.htm
And yes, many laughed and scoffed as we have declared for decades now that the Pope will use climate change to push forth the mark of the beast; and since you cannot change Christian prophecy, as expected, the Pope made the following announcement worldwide on December 02, 2023…
Now that you know the mark of the beast is prophesied to be Sunday Laws; and if you need additional proof, read the Popes own words wherein he claims in writing that Sunday is his “mark of authority” on this page… https://remnantofgod.org/beastword.htm#SABBATH.
All need to remember that when someone comes to you in the coming days demanding you keep Sunday holy to keep your job, buy food or even pay the rent, if you agree with them knowing this was prophesied, and you know the Bible clearly says the Sabbath was never changed, you not only receive the mark of the beast, you will have blasphemed the Holy Ghost and as Jesus warned in Revelation 22:11, and you will be forever lost. You will remain spiritually filthy and unsaved which means you’re guaranteed to die in hellfire. But, if you refuse to break God’s Law when they enforce the mark, you will be blessed with eternal life.
And keep in mind, the so-called pandemic was not really about a flu or a vaccine, even though billions got the vaccine and millions died from that shot. The main reason was to set up an infrastructure in every nation on earth that would prevent people from keeping their jobs or even entering stores and businesses without proof they had the vaccine or at the very least wearing a mask. Everything they now need to enforce the mark is setup. All they need to do is change the words “do you have the vaccine” to be able to buy or sell things to, “do you believe Sunday is the Sabbath” and they’re all set.
So, how does all that I just stated prove “billions will soon blaspheme the Holy Ghost” so as to receive damnation? And how does someone actually blaspheme the Holy Ghost?
The easiest way I know to explain it is, think of something you know to be absolute truth deep inside your heart; like, your name, or that the sky is blue or you breathe oxygen just to name a few. When someone asks you your name, you have no doubt deep inside as to what your name is; just as you know the sky is blue and you need to breathe. That reality you hold deep inside you wherein you know something is absolutely true is paramount on understanding how someone actually blasphemes the Holy Ghost. It’s just that simple.
Now, please listen carefully. If you’re a Christian who trusts the Bible, and especially if you’re one that studies or understands end time prophecy, you know most of the prophecies that were to fulfill before Christ’s return have already been fulfilled, and the few left to fulfill, have already had their foundation set in stone wherein nothing can stop them from fulfilling now. (For those needing a list of the prophecies matched to historic record, visit… https://remnantofgod.org/getready.htm)
As Christians, we also know it has been prophesied that there will be a final message declared that is given one last time to all mankind directly before Jesus returns that prophecy calls “the Loud Cry” in Revelation 14:18. That message entails that Christians must keep God’s law, and especially His seventh day Sabbath wherein His Seal is located so as to verify to all looking on that you are one that has chosen to love, honor and obey the Creator Jesus Christ instead of the destroyer Satan who has taken over all the churches exactly as prophesied in Isaiah 4:1, and Revelation 13:3-4 wherein all the world “wonders after the beast.” Look around and you will see all the churches now keep Sunday holy and this includes both the Jews and the Seventh day Adventists. Seriously! Even Atheists now “switch off on Sundays.”
The obedient Christians that love the Lord Jesus Christ must leave all the fallen churches they are in so as to escape the 7 last plagues that are prophesied to fall on those deny Jesus as Lord. They all stand in direct defiance of God’s eternal never changing Law.
To those that will love, honor and obey God; Revelation 18:4-5 says to “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.”
As John the Baptist declared 2000 years ago, the final message for today is to be the same. The people need to “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, [and] make his paths straight.” (Matthew 3:3) And this is why it has already been witnessed by immeasurable numbers of people all around the world that some Christians in all the corrupt churches are literally showing signs of choosing to obey and follow Jesus as Lord over and above the corrupt pastors who are demanding they keep Sunday holy. These obedient Christians came to this understanding and blessed faith because they study His Word each day as well as sharing their faith regarding the fallen state of their church leaders. They know and do all they can to warn others that they too need to be ready for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ by coming out of those fallen churches exactly as Jesus warned them to in Revelation 18:1-5.
But; there is also another part of this message that has become very much louder in recent years. It has to do with what prophecy calls the “mark of the beast” being enforced soon and what the false pastors are saying.
The mark is not the bar code, a Veri chip implant or even the number 666 as some of these apostate pastors, corrupt preachers and lukewarm Christians claim. The Bible clearly states what the mark is, but as also prophesied in both Isaiah 30:10 & Matthew 24:11, most preachers and pastors today preach false prophecies of peace and safety so as to calm the hearts of the people wherein so doing keeps the money flowing towards the pastor’s pocket, while at the same time keeps their flock blind to all the signs happening around them. In fact, the Pope has billions believing all the disasters in nature have to do with climate change when in fact they have nothing to do with climate change at all. What we’re all seeing are the final signs of Christ’s return. As prophesied in 1Thessalonians 5:3, these fallen pastors are declaring “peace and safety” when in fact “sudden destruction” is coming upon them and anyone that trusts their lying words.
PLEASE LISTEN CLOSELY NOW…
When God’s remnant people are moved as prophesied by the outpouring the latter rain so as to give the final warning, be it in a tract, a sermon, a video or face to face on a street corner, all the people they speak to will understand with perfect clarity the importance of that God given message to repent and accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour so as to receive the seal of God instead of the mark of the beast.
As also prophesied, this is going to be the final decision everyone on earth must make in the coming days. And it doesn’t matter if you’re Atheist, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Mormon or Roman Catholic; because we are all created by the same God who did not create any of these strange religions. Satan created them all to lure people away from the truth of Bible Christianity.
There is only one true religion of the Bible. All the others are a Satanic twist on the Scriptures so as to lure billions into damnation exactly as prophesied in Matthew 7:21 that says, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
Some; like the Atheist, will abruptly deny the truth as well as claim there is no God. But this final message put forth in the loud cry by God’s obedient children is so powerful that even the Atheist cannot hide behind their self-deception anymore because it truly doesn’t matter what they claim to believe. The God that created all of us, also knows what we’re thinking as well as what we believe deep inside. Just as you know your own name or the fact the sky is blue, the Lord also knows the truth you just heard from the Holy Spirit via the lips of His obedient children was clearly understood by you as absolute truth deep inside. For it is written in Psalms 44:20-21, “If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.” And so, as the Lord says in Ezekiel 33:11, “…turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die?”
And just so you know, to blaspheme the Holy Ghost is not a knee jerk reaction either. It’s not something anyone can do by mistake. It is a strong, determined, thoughtful resistance of the truth that the majority of people will ignore simply because they either hate God that much, or because when the mark of the beast is enforced with those two different intense conditions, they experience so much fear that they don’t want to lose their ability to buy or sell, or even die on a guillotine. They will deny the very God they claim to love and trust just to stay alive a few more moments. And the cold reality here is, that’s just what it will be. Just a few more moments of life. For when the mark is enforced with the death penalty, Scripture declares in Revelation 18:8 that within that year, all seven plagues will come ending all life on earth, except of course those Christians that received the Seal of God. Theirs is an eternity of life, love, peace and happiness because the Bible also says in Psalms 91:10, “There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.”
In closing, you can lie to yourself, but no man alive can lie to the God that reads the hearts of man. He knows you understood every word the Holy Spirit said to you is true. But due to lack of faith or something as simple as fear of losing their ability to buy and sell, this will cause many to ignore their heart felt warning to keep their jobs or their bank accounts intact. When they ignore the truth, they know deep inside it was true, and that is when they literally blaspheme the Holy Ghost and therefore stand slated for damnation without any hope to repent. As Jesus declares in Revelation 22:11, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” In other words, once the plagues begin, all those damned can never be saved, and all those saved can never be damned; for as Jesus also said in Revelation 21:6, “IT IS DONE!”
ONE LAST THING:
Why are the plagues soon to fall upon all the lost souls of the world? It’s in fulfillment to what I like to refer to as prophetic whisper of thousands of years ago. In other words, what the Lord did to the Egyptians long ago was a warning unto what He’s about to do to those that hate obedient Christians today.
Since we know the Bible holds a plethora of truths as well as examples unto God’s people on what to do and what not to do, as well as the blessings upon the obedient and sadly, the graphic and deadly consequences of disobedience till the end of the world; have you ever noticed how after Pharaoh tried to prevent the Jews from keeping the Sabbath, God sent the plagues upon all of Egypt except the obedient Jews? What happened back then was not written in vain. It was a warning unto those seeking to prevent God’s people in the last days from worshiping Him as He created them to do. Soon we too will see laws designed to prevent the obedient Christians from keeping the Sabbath of the Creator God, which will then bring on the seven last plagues.
