Sunday Laws in Jerusalem?

Christian greetings in these last days of life on earth. Yes the title of this newsletter is no joke. This is actually being discussed in Jerusalem with new found fervor. And yes, this was on the table some years back in Israel, but as was forecasted by this ministry as well as a few other ministries of the Remnant, this is a bill they do not intend to let slip from their grasp. Especially when its finalization is so close they can taste it. For some, this is what they worked for their entire lives.

The Vatican is using a softer more appealing method of approach so as to gain the foothold that will eventually bring about the demise of legal Orthodox Judaism, as well as biblical Christian Sabbath keeping the world over. If they can get the Jewish nation to agree to such unbiblical absurdities, they will have an easy go of it when approaching the already seriously weakened Seventh day Adventists of today. Their prophesied apostasy and probationary closure upon the corporate church has made them easy prey to this satanic agenda. In fact, many SDA churches are already keeping Sunday holy confirming this as fact.  But that’s a whole different Newsletter.

For decades the media has been peppered by Rome with thousands of articles regarding the need for a church and state form of government. Or thousands more articles declaring the need for Sunday Sacredness. This long term media blitz is no mistake. It has been well planned and well played out by all those Satan has as pawns. The constant barrage of these articles has worn the opposition thin simply because mankind is a weak and predictable race. To make matters worse, the enemy of souls has also convinced the pastors to preach watered down messages in all the churches turning most Christians into pew potatoes. What we are about to experience first hand is nothing short of “the” prophetic event of all time most preachers fear to speak on. Why do they fear? Because they know as do most that claim Christ Lord just how much they DON’T walk with Him. Satan builds and cultivates that guilt to such an extent that they have mountainous ranges of doubt making it impossible to walk on concrete with Christ, let alone water.

Return the Church and moral law to their proper place in society

Vatican City, Dec. 11, 2006 (CNA) - Saturday Pope Benedict XVI received participants in the 56th national study congress, promoted by the Union of Italian Catholic Jurists, which is being held in Rome on the theme: "Secularity and secularities." The Holy Father told the lawyers how the idea of secularity has been corrupted and challenged them to create a society in which the Church and the moral law are returned to their rightful place.

Problem with that idea is that’s how it was during the Inquisition. Rome’s version of church & state togetherness is simply a gentle way of saying, “DEATH TO ALL NON-CATHOLICS.” Far fetched? Listen to these echoes from the past…

"The church may by divine right confiscate the property of heretics, imprison their person, and condemn them to flames.  In our age, the right to inflict the severest penalties, even death, belongs to the church.  There is no graver offense than heresy, therefore it must be rooted out." - Public Eccliastical, Vol. 2, p.142.

Mr. Raywood Frazier, in the booklet "Catholic Words and Actions," presents documentary proof of the intensive persecution of Protestants and non-Catholics in
Columbia, South America, between 1949 and 1953. The Catholic Church had the support of the Columbian government in the destruction of many churches, and the liquidation of more than 1,000 documented cases -- some of whom were shot, drowned, or emasculated. He says there is evidence of over 60,000 killed. Pope Pius XII awarded the President of Columbia with one of the highest awards which the Church bestows, and praised Columbia for its example of the Catholic faith." (Pp. 59,60)

Another problem is that this is how reality will be for some soon. This is why you see so many politicians speaking of Christ and so many pastors speaking of politics lately. They have to keep this up so as to wear the people down. They already have the lawmakers and millionaires that fill their hip pockets in their camp. The “little people” need to be corralled now. Their world will be nothing without the power they so crave. And that power comes from mom and pop voter in any-town USA.

The Roman Catholic Church stated long ago the reason they sought to change the Sabbath was to stop emulating the Jews. Yes it’s true the Jewish nation was the first and longest known race of people to keep Sabbath. It’s also true that the Jews are also the longest known race of people to TITHE as well. So, if the Catholic Church wants to truly stop Jewish emulation, then I call on all Catholics to STOP TITHING TO THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH!

Since March 7, 321AD the Roman Catholic beast has been attempting to convince Christians the world over that the 7th day Sabbath was "made for Jew" and not for man as Christ Jesus the Lord declared in Mark 2:27. Historic fact confirms that just after Pope Constantine declared all Christians must keep Sunday holy instead of the Christian Sabbath of Saturday, he noticed some would not go along with his demands. So 11 years later another law was passed by that very same pope that made the true 7th day Sabbath illegal and punishable by death! Do some research and you will find that all of the early (first) Christians were in fact Sabbath keepers for hundreds of years before Rome used force against them. (For a quick start on that research click here for historic facts regarding Sabbath keeping by Christians in every century since Christ)

By the way, March 7, 321AD is exactly 1685 years ago to the day they instituted the first Sunday Law. Now on March 07, 2006 the image of that beast comes to life here in the States by the hand of George W. Bush! Fitting?

France Enforces Sunday Rest  
WORLDWATCH: EUROPE  September 2006

  In May, French courts ruled that the Louis Vuitton flagship store must remain closed on Sundays in accordance with law. The suit was brought against the famous Paris fashion house by the French Confederation of Christian Workers.

I shared this article a few months ago as a jumping off point in my September 2006 Truth Provided Newsletter. This is the one where the majority of the people (75% in fact) were against this enforcement. But that didn’t matter at all to the power crazed leaders. What I’m confused about is why they bothered to cast polls or even vote for that matter.

Satan truly needs to enforce Sunday as a way to forget the Creator God. It has become quite obvious that Commandment #4 glorifies the Creator in perfection. Satan knows it, and therefore targets it. What’s amazing to me is how easy Christians are manipulated in such matters. Simply bible study would stop the enemy of souls dead in his tracks.

What they desire is a method of forgetting God which shall pass as a method of remembering Him. -Great  Controversy p.572 

·         "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." -Exodus 20:8-11

Pope Recalls Martyrs Who Died for Sunday Mass
Perished Under Emperor Diocletian

BARI, Italy, MAY 29, 2005 (Zenit.org).- In an age of widespread religious indifference, Benedict XVI offers as models the martyrs of North Africa who gave their lives for celebrating Mass on a Sunday.

Presiding at today's closing Mass of the 24th Italian National Eucharistic Congress, the Pope spoke in his homily about the group of Christians who were killed in 304 during the persecution of the Roman emperor Diocletian.

The theme of the congress was the motto of the martyrs: "We Cannot Live without Sunday."

Historic fact purports, it was on March 7, 321AD that Rome made the first Sunday law. Yet this Catholic article claims there were Christians that had been so ensconced in keeping Sunday holy 17 years earlier, but they also want to make it appear this man-made Sabbath had been kept for so long that people were already seeking to die for it? Knowing Rome’s passion for lies, I would rather believe those people were killed because they refused to keep Sunday holy.

As is well known, Rome invented politics. This is nothing short of an ancient form of what we call spin doctoring today. It worked then, why not now?

For example: the news media of today says a 767 left a 16 foot hole in the Pentagon. Is it possible that the people back in 304 AD knew the government lied in their “media” just as we know they lie today? Anyone that has done the slightest bit of digging into the 911 situation knows it is in no way as the media implies. Just like those in Diocletian’s day knew those people were killed for reasons other then were written into History. They penned the lies so as to make their future brighter. Or should I say “darker,” as this is what reality truly depicts is the case. In the Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4 we read…

   "The sins of Babylon will be laid open. The fearful results of a union of Church and State, the inroads of Spiritualism, the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal power,--all will be unmasked. By these solemn warnings the people will be stirred. Thousands upon thousands have never listened to words like these. In amazement they hear the testimony that Babylon is the church, fallen because of her errors and sins, because of her rejection of the truth sent to her from Heaven. The people go to their former teachers with the eager inquiry, Are these things so?

It is because of our blessed efforts that the Sunday keepers start to question their religious leaders. Unlike what most preach about the catalyst of Sunday laws, these laws are a direct result of our inspired actions that bring them on, not the other way around. In other words, if we don’t go forth to do the work, the message won’t swell into a loud cry. This is why some of us are attacked like we are. It’s getting down to the wire. Satan knows that. (Rev 12:12) Those of us that are to be used by the Lord are sent our own personal “Sanballats” to try and get us to chase rabbits rather then do the work. Like Nehemiah, we need to ignore the attempts at slowing the work and move forward as much as possible each and every day.

Continuing…Spirit of Prophecy says

The ministers present fables, prophesy smooth things, to soothe their fears, and quiet the awakened conscience. But many refuse to be satisfied with the mere authority of men, and demand a plain 'Thus saith the Lord.'The popular ministry, like the Pharisees of old, are filled with anger as their authority is questioned; they denounce the message as of Satan, and stir up the sin-loving multitudes to revile and persecute those who proclaim it.

Lately the popular ministry is the SDA church. The grand majority of the “stones” from Sanballat are coming from professed SDA people. Truth is many of us are seeing this as reality now. This is not a derogatory statement designed to generate anger. I have literal emails, snail mail, recordings, and other attacks from our dear deceived SDA friends using everything from lies to actual threats of lawsuits and the like to try and stop the three angels’ message from going forth. Imagine! A church used by the Lord to start this charge has abandoned it. That fact alone makes it more obvious that to be in the SDA church today is to be available for Satan to use you in a bevy of ways. If you deny biblical jurisprudence that plainly says it’s time to “come out of her my people” then you are already available for Satan to use against those of us that do as Christ commands. It appears the dear SDA people are being taught they are “immune” to the three angels’ message. They believe it simply can’t apply to them since they preached it first. Well, according to Matthew 20, they are not to be the last to preach it.

Finishing up in Spirit of Prophecy it says…

"As the controversy extends into new fields, and the minds of the people are called to God's down-trodden law, Satan is astir. The power attending the message only maddens those who oppose it. The clergy put forth almost superhuman efforts to shut away the light, lest it should shine upon their flocks. By every means at their command they endeavor to suppress the discussion of these vital questions.

The church appeals to the strong arm of civil power, and in this work, papists are solicited to come to the help of Protestants. The movement for Sunday enforcement becomes more bold and decided. The law is invoked against commandment-keepers." Spirit of Prophecy, vol 4, p 424-425

Is this something that can happen soon? Even in our lifetime? Are direct movements visible that suggest the church may have the prophesied ability to use the civil powers against the Remnant?

Church and State Can Cooperate, Says Pope
VATICAN CITY, MARCH 17, 2005 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II believes that the Church and state can and must collaborate in their service to the person and the common good with relations of "autonomy and difference."

Just 2 short years ago John Paul II made this bold and final statement that was at the conclusion of hundreds just like it over the last few decades. Yes, many prophetically wise preachers warned the currency motivated preachers long ago to steer clear of this trap. But, it always seems to be the case that most people prefer to learn the hard way, especially when their idols are threatened. It’s usually not until the event occurs do they actually realize it can occur. More often then not, it’s too late to do anything about it when they wait so long. Now that reality has set in that the church and state must cooperate “by law” with the states, some preachers and pastors finally realized their snafu and did in fact approach the IRS after March 7th to try and dissolve their 501C3 status and save face.

What am I talking about? I’m talking about the March 7th, 2006 law that placed all churches with a 501C3 tax free status under the governments controlling arm. No matter what you want to do with your 501C3 church now you must have government approval or massive fines will be the end result. The image of the beast has been created all along in this country ever since the churches agreed to incorporate with the state to get tax breaks. Some saw it as a miniscule foothold in its infancy so many decades ago of course. But on March 7, last year it became a snare that even the most “popular” ministries could never survive without. Like Rome, the churches are now church & state conglomerates just as the prophecy predicted!

Yes, some preachers, even SDA preachers, saw this as a major problem the day this image came to life and tried to get out of it. However, all of them were told doing so would mean they now owe back taxes for the term the church and or ministry first became incorporated. On top of that, excise taxes, penalties, and all equipment and properties purchased by the church or ministry during this “tax free” period would be confiscated by the IRS and then auctioned off to help pay a percentage of the debt owed to the Roman Catholic IRS. Of course this financially destroys everyone on the church board as well as completely dissolves the church or ministry quite effectively. So, they opted to stay with the government. This is especially a problem for the “popular ministries” because of their wealth. Ask your pastor.. is he a 501C3 entity?

The kicker? This allows Rome a sure fire way to have her cake and eat it too. If you choose to be destroyed financially, you are no longer a threat to their agenda, and Rome wins. If you go along with them to keep your creature comforts, you are no longer a threat to their agenda, and Rome wins. CHECKMATE!!

Sadly, so far I have not heard of a single preacher or pastor that has allowed the IRS the go ahead to financially destroy them. All have opted to bow to the money they now worship over and above the Lord that would protect them in such trying times. They have left their first Love. I guess they forgot about a certain passage they used to preach in the book of Matthew. That’s the EX-Tax collector’s book by the way…

But there’s a “bright” side to this that deals directly with my point for sharing this article in the first place. Sister White stated as does Revelation 13:15 confirm; laws will be put in place to try and stop us from preaching this truth. As is obvious, our inspired works will cause their pews to empty. Since they have already made the decision to stay with the money, any threat to that idol will now be in their sites as a direct focus to protect at all costs. (Pun intended!)

So… Rome pulled another rabbit out of their miter to get them to do Rome’s bidding once again! Since the churches are now considered “government agencies”, the pastors can now be considered viable “voices” in Washington! What they lacked in their ability to control in their wallets, they now have new found power they believe can be used to generate a better government as well as keep the coffers filled to the hilt with their chosen god, mammon. This will also make some of them feel as if they are getting something for their guilt filled heartaches inflicted upon them by their prophesied greed when they were deceived into accepting the job to create the image of the beast. This way they can “feel” as if they can personally fix things religiously with their new found powers and at the same time save face with their congregation. Demonically ingenious isn’t it?! Only a demon watching mankind for 6000 years would be able to play such a strategy as this. THAT fact alone is why it is so imperative to draw nigh to the Lord NOW! Without His hand closely upon you, you have no chance at all! Why would anyone want to walk alone in such a landscape as that!?

So.. Will the religious leaders be able to “speak and cause” laws against us? Are there methods in place that give them civil power?

Catholicism Top Faith in U.S. Congress

Roman Catholics are the largest single
U.S. religious denomination among members of the new U.S. Congress which also includes two Buddhists and a Muslim. A survey published by Americans for Religious Liberty finds Baptists the second most common faith, followed by Methodists, Presbyterians and Jews.

The breakdown for the 535 members of the 110th Congress being sworn in Thursday:

Catholic 155; Baptist 67; Methodist 61; Presbyterian 44; Jewish 43; Episcopal 37; Protestant nondenominational 26; Christian nondenominational 18; Lutheran 17; Mormon 15; United Church of Christ 7. Eastern Orthodox 5; Christian Science 5; Assemblies of God 4; Unitarian Universalist 2; African Methodist Episcopal 2; Buddhists 2; Evangelical 2; Seventh Day Adventists 2; Christian Reformed 2; Disciples of Christ 2; Church of Christ 2; Congregational Baptist 1; Anglican 1. Reorganized Mormon 1; Quaker 1; Church of God 1; Muslim 1; Evangelical Lutheran 1; Church of the Nazarene 1; Evangelical Methodist 1.

Sitting in front of our new Catholic Congress, under House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, there is a proposal to designate churches, pastors, religious denominations, public interest organizations, and other “non-profit groups” as ''lobbyists.'' Currently, lobbyists must register with the government - this new bill expands the definition of ''lobbyist'' to include any church or organization that strives to influence public opinion!

Spirit of Prophecy states…

In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation. [REV. 1:13-15.] The glory that surrounds him is unsurpassed by anything that mortal eyes have yet beheld. The shout of triumph rings out upon the air., "Christ has come! Christ has come!" The people prostrate themselves in adoration before him, while he lifts up his hands, and pronounces a blessing upon them, as Christ blessed his disciples when he was upon the earth. His voice is soft and subdued, yet full of melody. In gentle, compassionate tones he presents some of the same gracious, heavenly truths which the Saviour uttered; he heals the diseases of the people, and then, in his assumed character of Christ, he claims to have changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and commands all to hallow the day which he has blessed. He declares that those who persist in keeping holy the seventh day are blaspheming his name by refusing to listen to his angels sent to them with light and truth. This is the strong, almost overmastering delusion. Like the Samaritans who were deceived by Simon Magus, the multitudes, from the least to the greatest, give heed to these sorceries, saying, This is "the great power of God." [ACTS. 8:10.]  -Great Controversy 624.1

This is why we see so many religious laws, and Catholics, and Catholic sympathizers in powerful positions in the law making process. This is why we have a “holy war” going on right now between religions. Satan cannot possibly hope to stand on earth impersonating Jesus Christ unless the people are primed and ready for an extravagant religious event. His prophesied false revival is going on right now!

The timing will no doubt be perfect. The Latter rain will be falling more abundantly of course, and the Remnant will be busy causing multitudes to leave the Sunday keeping churches. Why else would Satan “focus” on us that day? The dog never barks unless you upset it. He has to make the statement regarding Sunday keeping only because we are doing the work of the Lord for this day!

“Satan will … accuse God's people as the cause of the fearful convulsions of nature and the strife and bloodshed among men which are desolating the earth.” -Spirit of Prophecy Vol 4 p44

He does this to make it far easier to force those pawns under his thumb to expedite their efforts against us. By the way.. This has already begun! (Click here to see my February 2005 Newsletter on this.)Do you recall the pastor that proclaimed the reason for the so called “Christmas Tsunami” was because people weren’t keeping Sundays holy?

“On every occasion when persecution takes place, those who witness it make decisions either for Christ or against Him. Those who manifest sympathy for the ones wrongly condemned show their attachment for Christ. Others are offended because the principles of truth cut directly across their practice. Many stumble and fall, apostatizing from the faith they once advocated. Those who apostatize in time of trial will, to secure their own safety, bear false witness, and betray their brethren. Christ has warned us of this, that we may not be surprised at the unnatural, cruel course of those who reject the light.” –Desire of Ages 630.2

IN A NUTSHELL… this is WHY THEY ATTACK SABBATH...

"In Revelation 14, men are called upon to worship the Creator; and the prophecy brings to view a class that, as the result of the threefold message, are keeping the commandments of God. One of these commandments points directly to God as the Creator. The fourth precept declares: "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: . . . 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." Exodus 20:10, 11. Concerning the Sabbath, the Lord says, further, that it is "a sign, . . . that ye may know that I am the Lord your God." Ezekiel 20:20. And the reason given is: "For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was refreshed." Exodus 31:17.

     "The importance of the Sabbath as the memorial of creation is that it keeps ever present the true reason why worship is due to God"--because He is the Creator, and we are His creatures. "The Sabbath therefore lies at the very foundation of divine worship, for it teaches this great truth in the most impressive manner, and no other institution does this.

 ...It was to keep this truth ever before the minds of men, that God instituted the Sabbath in Eden; and so long as the fact that He is our Creator continues to be a reason why we should worship Him, so long the Sabbath will continue as its sign and memorial. Had the Sabbath been universally kept, man's thoughts and affections would have been led to the Creator as the object of reverence and worship, and there would never have been an idolater, an atheist, or an infidel. The keeping of the Sabbath is a sign of loyalty to the true God, "Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." It follows that the message which commands men to worship God and keep His commandments will especially call upon them to keep the fourth commandment." -Great Controversy p. 437

From the very Organization that was prophesied to "try" and change the Sabbath day as Daniel saw in Daniel 7:25 we here these words of defiance…

"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.

"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.

Catholic Provincial Council at Bergen -" We are informed that some people in different districts of the kingdom, have adopted and observed Saturday-keeping. It is severely forbidden- in holy church canon- one and all to observe days excepting those which the holy Pope, archbishop, or the bishops command. Saturday-keeping must under no circumstances be permitted hereafter further than the church canon commands. Therefore, we counsel all the friends of God throughout all of Norway who want to be obedient towards the holy church to let this evil of Saturday-keeping alone; and the rest we forbid under penalty of severe church punishment to keep Saturday holy." - Dip, Norveg, 7, 397.

"The inquisitors...(declare) that the sign of a Vaudois (Waldeneses of France, Sabbathkeepers) deemed worthy of death, was that he followed Christ and sought to obey the commandments of God" - History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages, H.C. Lea, Vol 1.

"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

"The Pope has the power to change times, to abrogate (change) 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.

Click here for many more quotes from the Vatican on this topic of “hating the Sabbath.”

Daniel said of this beast that he would, “think to change times and laws” (Daniel 7:25) and so he has thought to do just as was prophesied. And as Revelation 13:3 also prophesied so clearly, “…all the world wondered after the beast." This is why there are so many Sunday keeping Christians today. They actually trust the Popes to be men of god when in fact they are “ravening wolves” just as Jesus said of them in Matthew 7:15.

Sabbath-Sunday Bill Survey Shows Support
by Hillel Fendel
5-25-07 

(IsraelNN.com)

MK Zevulun Orlev (NRP) has announced the findings of a poll showing 56% support amongst Israelis for his proposed legislation making Sunday a day of rest and allowing some public transportation and entertainment on the Sabbath.

Orlev's bill would (also) change the official approach to Sabbath as the country's day of rest. Though businesses and government offices would continue to be closed, places of entertainment would be permitted to open - and public transportation, now banned in most cities on the Sabbath, would be available. The bill stipulates that such transportation and entertainment would be carried out with maximum  sensitivity to the religious public. 

A survey commissioned by Orlev finds that 56% of the public support his initiative, while 30% object. The poll was carried out by Brain Base (Maagar Mochot) Institute, headed by Prof. Yitzchak Katz.

…Orlev explains. Work hours lost to Sunday would be made up largely by increasing the workday on Mondays through Fridays from 8 to 9 hours.

The survey divides the respondents into religious categories, such as secular, hareidi-religious, etc. However, it lumps together the religious-Zionist public with those who consider themselves "traditional," i.e., minimally observant. The poll finds that 64% of this joint "sector" supports the new bill.


Amazing isn’t it? Who in their wildest dreams would ever think Jews, the longest known race of Sabbath keepers would do such a thing. Yes, they are already corrupt seeing how they deny Christ as Lord. But all in all, they always had a strong devotion for the Law.

A friend sending me the article informed me that when visiting Israel some years ago he saw how strict Israel once was on Sabbath keeping.  A sign was posted on his hotel room wall that stated: "NO WRITING ON THE SABBATH". Plus all public transportation was stopped on the Sabbath.  How could they ever change to Sunday worship like Revelation 13 indicates? I guess this will cause a major rethink of all those pastors out there that stated the Jews would never walk away from the Sabbath and Muslims would always hold to their Fridays. If Jews are this easy to manipulate, Muslims will be a much easier lot. Not to mention the Seventh Day Adventists, which by the way already have dozens of Sunday keeping churches on their Conference books. (Need to see the evidence? See this… http://www.sdaapostasy.org/SDAsunday.htm)

Now do you see why Rome has had so many meetings in Israel lately? Keep in mind; they had 5 times as many with the nation of Islam just a few years ago when Arafat was alive. Imagine when the agenda of that shoe drops how many jaws will drop with it. We are about to see a lot of things we never thought possible in the days ahead.

    "...all the world  wondered after the beast.  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast?  who is able to make war with him"....And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

    "As America, the land of religious liberty, shall unite with the papacy in forcing the conscience and compelling men to honor the false sabbath, the people of every other country on the globe will be led to follow her example." – Testimonies Volume 6 page 18.

BY THE WAY… It is well to remember that on May 29, 1961 the U.S. Supreme Court's decision was that Sunday law legislation does not violate the Constitution of the United States in any way shape or form.  To this date, that decision has never been officially challenged or changed by anyone INLCUDING the SDA church! Is it any wonder in today’s world? Especially after a self proclaimed “born again” Christian like George W Bush said the Constitution is nothing more then a “G**damned piece of paper!” on December 9, 2005.

Does history repeat itself?

"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: established by Sir Gates, Knight, Lieutenant - General, the 24th of May, 1610

 “The time is not far distant when the test will come to every soul.  The observance of the false Sabbath will be urged upon us.” Prophets and Kings, p 187-188.

Is she correct? Are the powers that be working towards this end?

"All businesses, including gasoline stations and restaurants, should close ever Sunday...  by force of legislative fiat through the duly elected officials of the people." -Harold Lindsell, Editor of Christianity Today -May 7, 1976

MANSFIELD -- The Rev. Mark Dettmer, senior pastor of First Church of the Nazarene on Straub Road, and many of the 130 members of his church are among those conservative Christians who would prefer to see stores closed on Sundays in deference to the Sabbath.

Associated Press - SALT LAKE CITY- A Mormon Church authority called on members to boycott Sunday shopping as a way to force community wide obediance to the fourth commandment God gave Moses - to keep the Sabbath holy

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND AN ECUMENICAL RALLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF KEEPING SUNDAY AS A DAY OF REST FOR THE WORKING CITIZENS OF OUR NATION AND FOR OUR BLOOD BOUGHT LIBERTY TO WORSHIP GOD ON THAT DAY OF THE WEEK.-[Rev. Roger V. Kvam, pastor First Presbyterian Church Quincy, Mass.]

"Without saying so explicitly, the Ten Commandments set the only order that will bring world peace... The next obligation that a citizen of God's world order owes is himself. "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy," is a command for a personal benefit of each citizen..." Pat Robertson, The New World Order, p. 233,236 (NOTE: Pat Robertson is a SUNDAY Sabbath keeper)

Christians will naturally strive to ensure that civil legislation respects their duty to keep Sunday holy –Pope John Paul II Dios Domini p 112.

Soon the duly elected officials will be SUNDAY KEEPING PASTORS hell-bent on filling their pews with people the Holy Spirit has convinced to vacate! Will they return? Not likely... Hence the reason for Sunday laws is “inspired” by the enemy of souls as necessary. Back in 1998 do you suppose Sara Maitland had somewhat of an inkling it would be this easy to see her comments come to fruition when she said…

IF WE BELIEVE RELIGION IS TRUE, WE SHOULD BE REINTRODUCING A CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR THOSE WHO FAIL TO ATTEND CHURCH ON SUNDAY -[Daily Independent 4-11-98 -Sara Maitland "On the issues of belief"]

Many nations now have religious tribunals that are designed to deal with this issue directly. In fact it was just announced in April of 2007 that just such tribunals trump the United States Federal Courts. Need I give a clue as to who presides over such courts? In Paris last June they held a tribunal against a retail firm for opening their doors on Sundays.

The pieces on the Chess board are most assuredly in place! The pope will get as he desires simply because all politicians on earth clamor to his demands since Rome is the ultimate in a globally connected base. This is why we saw all the head politicians meet with Pope John Paul II for a week long meeting just a few years ago. Common sense dictates that if a politician ignores Rome he or she will be committing political suicide, and their career will be snuffed out.  So, yes, soon there will be civil legislation simply because SUNDAY KEEPING Pastors are about to become part of the law passing process. Seeing how Rome’s ear is the one to bend, care to guess what topic of legislation will be always and forever on the table as a bargaining chip until it becomes etched into law?

One last article…

The following article is a quote from a Nazarene magazine called Newswatch. In its 1994 November/December issue, 4-5, it read, "The French magazine, Foy et Rai, reported from the United Nations Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, that plans are worked out to dissolve the UN to make way for a World Tribunal. . . . This project and this plan provides for a total unification of church and state, and also provides for a single form of worship. The appointed day for all people will be Sunday. The number received by the people will promise the right to buy or sell.
"At the end of this statement, a Christian rose and asked the speaker, 'What happens to the minorities who will not accept this plan?' The Christian was told, 'Their number will be canceled with a black line and they will be deprived of the right to buy or sell and will thus be forced to destruction.' "

Is this why Israel is pushing for TWO Sabbaths each week so as to keep their regular Sabbath along with the global one? I wonder how long Rome will allow that compromise. Once Israel or ANY nation gives an inch, Rome pounces. Giving in like this truly is a sign of weakness that Satan takes full advantage of each and every time. Did we not learn from Judas how quickly a small foothold can mushroom into a damnable offense?

With that said... if the scoffer still believes the prophecy predicting global Sunday laws is bogus… Why are they doing exactly as prophecy said they would do?

I was wondering about that executive order. why has it been almost 6 months since we have heard about this? this just seems so unreal. does the GC have tax exempt status? I understand this is just the begining of this church and state.  and there never going to come out and officially say her america is now a theocracy.
 

corey

Yes, the SDA church has 501c3 tax free status. This means they have been used by Satan to form the image of the beast. How? See this page... http://www.remnantofgod.org/image.htm

Yes brother I hope to start doing DVD's (videos) in the very near future. I have all the equipment I need. All I need now is the time.


Dear Brother,
I too have encountered what you have in ministering to Catholics and also saw some get saved bt it. God has called me to deal with the issues in the Philippines in which of course you know is RC!  I have friends there I am trying to lead to Christ and I want to show some thing to them about what they are living.  ... I will also need your prayers and any words of encoouragement along the way.  The Lord keeps showing me Ephesus when thet cried to Diana, so I know that my job will not be easy!  I know that Holy Spirit will do all the work, and I will obey!

Nice meeting you and by the way my name is William,
