s%2020%3A8).
*Honoring the Sabbath is not just a suggestion*
The article stated the following, in part:
"One of the most foundational, but increasingly forgotten, principles in Scripture is God’s command to honor the Sabbath: “ *Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy* …” (Exodus 20:8). While Christians recognize that Christ fulfilled the ceremonial law and that the Church now gathers for worship on Sunday — the day of the Lord’s resurrection — the moral imperative to honor a day set apart for God has never been repealed.
The Scriptures make it clear: the Sabbath (now the Lord’s Day) is not merely a suggestion. It is a covenantal sign. *Isaiah 58 offers a sobering yet hope-filled promise* ..."
We are living in the most solemn time of earth’s history. Bible prophecy is fast fulfilling before our eyes. The push to enforce Sunday as a national day of rest, even under the guise of morality, family values, or climate action, is not merely a social agenda — it is the final test that will divide the world into two groups: those who worship the beast and his image, and those who honor God’s commandments.
The article titled *"Honoring the Sabbath is Not Just a Suggestion"* promotes Sunday as “the Lord’s Day” — but where is that found in Scripture?
1. *God's True Sabbath Never Changed*
> Exodus 20:8–10 – *“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy… the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.”*
God’s Sabbath is the seventh day, Saturday. It was given at Creation (Genesis 2:2–3), reaffirmed at Sinai, and honoured by Jesus and the apostles. There is *not one verse* in the Bible that commands Sunday as a holy day.
Daniel 7:25 foretells a power that would “ *think to change times and laws.* ”
The Papacy attempted this change by substituting Sunday for the Sabbath.
2. *The Image to the Beast(The union of church and state, the church enforcing her dogmas through the power of the state) & the Coming Crisis*
> Revelation 13:15–17 *A power will force worship on pain of death and economic restrictions.*
This is not just future. The groundwork is being laid now:
Christian nationalists, religious leaders, and political movements are calling for Sunday sacredness.
Project 2025, and others, aim to align American law with church doctrines.
Labour unions call for national rest days — on Sunday.
Pope Leo XIV is promoting Pope Francis' *Laudato Si'* , linking Sunday rest with climate and family values.
Ellen White writes:
*“The enforcement of Sundaykeeping... will be the final test for God's people”* (Great Controversy, p. 605)
This is not just about a day — it is about loyalty.
3. *The Close of Probation is Near*
When the Sunday law is enforced, probation for God’s people and the world will soon close. The sealing of the 144,000 (Revelation 7) will be complete. No more switching sides.
*“When the final test shall be brought to bear upon men... then the line of distinction will be drawn between those who serve God and those who serve Him not.”*
(Great Controversy, p. 605)
4. *Now is the Time to Prepare*
Now is not the time for fear, but faith and preparation.
Physically – Get out of the cities, and grow our own food, simplify our life (see Country Living by Ellen White).
Spiritually – Daily devotion, Bible study, character building through Christ, surrendering every known sin.
> Isaiah 58:13–14 *If we turn from doing our own pleasure on God’s holy day, He will lift us up. This applies to the true Sabbath, not the counterfeit.*
5. *A Call to Warn Others*
> Ezekiel 33:6 – *“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet… his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.”*
We must sound the warning in love. Many sincere Christians are deceived, believing Sunday is sacred. But light is increasing. Let us be gentle, but bold.
A law is coming that will test the whole world. God is asking, “Will you honour Me or man?”
Let us determine now to stand with the Lamb(Christ)on Mount Zion, even if it costs us everything.
> Revelation 12:17 – *“The dragon was wroth with the woman… which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”*
Jesus is coming soon!
Maranatha!
Blessings! Big hugs!
