Re: Why We Worship On Sundays And Not Saturdays -By Rev. Fr Kelvin Ugwu

(The piece below is my response to the article with the above title, which I published a few days ago, for the purpose of transparency. If you have not already done so, it will be more logical to read Rev. Fr Kelvin Ugwu’s article before this).

Daniel 7:25
“And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”

The “he” is an enemy of God
The “most High” is God
The “saints of the most High” are the elect.

What is this enemy power guilty of?

1. Persecuting the saints
2. Attempting to change times and laws.

But Whose laws?

According to the Bible, there is only One Lawgiver.

James 4:12
“There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy.”

The enemy power “speaks great words against the most High” primarily by tampering with His laws. If a king signs a decree that people are to wear white clothes on a given day every week all through his kingdom, who can challenge the wish of the king and attempt to instruct the people to wear red or black instead? Only a person that believes he should be the one sitting in the king’s chair. In all the universe, only one being has such a nerve. And his name is Lucifer. So this issue is much deeper and more serious than it first appears.

Isaiah 14:12-14
[12]How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
[13]For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
[14]I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Of all the Ten Commandments, the only one that has anything to do with how we spend our God-given time is the Sabbath commandment.

Prophecy says it shall be changed — by an enemy of God that also persecutes the saints of God. Read Church History to find out who this enemy is. If you don’t have the time to read Church History, watch out for my forthcoming article titled: Who Is This Woman, which is a cold-blooded analysis of Revelation 17:18.

One of the greatest evidences that Jesus Christ did not change the Sabbath day is contained in Matthew 24.

Matthew 24:20-21
“But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
For then shall be great tribulation”

This flight prophesied above was fulfilled in 66AD when the Roman army, led by Cestius Gallus, besieged Jerusalem but inexplicably retreated. That retreat was what gave the followers of Jesus Christ the opportunity to escape, as forewarned by Jesus Christ Himself. In 70AD when the Roman army returned, led this time by Titus, there was no room for escape. Both Jerusalem and the second Temple were destroyed by General Titus, and the words of Jesus Christ that no stone will be left upon another was completely fulfilled. Matthew 24:2. Note that this destruction of Jerusalem in AD70 was almost 40 years after the prophecy was given.

Question:
If the Sabbath day had been abolished by Jesus Christ, why would He instruct His disciples to pray that their flight from Jerusalem should happen on any other day but not on the Sabbath day? Why?

Why should they pray that their flight out of Jerusalem in AD66 could be on a second day of the week (a Monday), or a fifth day of the week (a Thursday) or even on a first day of the week (a Sunday) but not on a seventh day of the week — a Saturday?

Every sincere reader ought to spend a few moments and ponder on this.

The fact is that winter time and the Sabbath day were both pointed out as undesirable days for the flight of the disciples because winter will PHYSICALLY not be convenient due to the biting cold and the Sabbath day will SPIRITUALLY not be convenient because it is a day of rest — according to the fourth commandment. By the example of Jesus Christ Himself, just in case you did not know, the day of rest is also the day of congregational worship.

Luke 4:16
“And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.”

Beware of Daniel 12:10

In all of Christianity, there are only two commandments that are subject to controversy — the 2nd and the 4th. Let’s see who is guilty of tampering with these commandments.

In the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church, the Ten Commandments you find stated is very different from what you find in Exodus 20:1-17. My Roman Catholic friends know that I love them, and the above is a statement of fact — devoid of any iota of malevolence.

To save your time, I will just urge you to visit the bookshop of any Roman Catholic Church near you and buy a little red book called A Catechism of Christian Doctrine. In that little book of just 72 pages, you find a shocking fulfilment of Daniel 7:25 — specifically on page 29, which supposedly contains the Ten Commandments. Remember that Daniel prophesied a change — a tampering with the Ten Commandments, which God wrote on stone tablets with His own fingers. Note that there is no other portion of the Bible written by the finger of God. I guess He wanted us to pay attention. When a king refuses to dictate a certain portion of a letter to his secretary but insists on writing that portion with his own pen and with his own hands, I guess it is because that portion is very important to him.

In the version of the Ten Commandments taught to adherents of the Roman Catholic Church, you see why there is controversy over two commandments in Christianity. As I have already hinted, these commandments are the 2nd and the 4th.

What is the 2nd commandment?

The second commandment forbids the worship of images; Exodus 20:4-6. Now, do I need to say more? Have you ever been inside a Roman Catholic Church? Is it possible to see a Roman Catholic Church without images? Of course you will be told that these images are venerated but not worshipped. But I dare you to type the word, “venerated” in a Microsoft Word page and right-click on it to check on the synonyms of that word. The first word that will pop up is the word, “worship.”

No further comment.

For this reason, the second commandment in the Bible is deftly blended with the first and made of none effect in that little red book. You need not be a detective to understand why the 2nd commandment forbidding image worship is neutralized by the Roman Catholic Church.

If you can remember that the RCC boldly asserts that her doctrines are formulated from the Bible and also from the tradition of the fathers, consider the following lamentation by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ:

Matthew 15:6
“Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.”

I humbly state that the RCC has succeeded in making the 2nd commandment of none effect through the tradition of veneration of images, thereby partly fulfilling the prophecy of Daniel 7:25, which prophesied a tampering with the Commandments of God. How about the 4th commandment?

What is the 4th commandment?

Exodus 20:8-11
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9]Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
[10]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:
[11]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.”

But how is the Sabbath commandment stated in the little red book?

Well, it is stated with absolutely no reference to the seventh day. It is undefined, even though God, the author of the Sabbath day commandment, clearly defined it as the 7th day of every week.

The following quotation should help in establishing why the RCC does not want to define the Sabbath day to its adherents as the seventh day.

In the publication titled: An Abridgment of the Christian Doctrine, we find this revealing admission by the RCC, which anybody can confirm.

Q. How prove you that the church hath power to command feasts and holy days?
A. By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, which Protestants allow of; and therefore they fondly contradict themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly, and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same church.

Q. How prove you that?
A. Because by keeping Sunday, they acknowledge the church’s power to ordain feasts, and to command them under sin; and by not keeping the rest [of the feasts] by her commanded, they again deny, in fact, the same power.

Daniel 12:10
None of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

What would the wicked not understand?

The Book of Daniel is a book of end time prophecy. The wicked will not understand end time prophecy. Please note that wickedness is not necessarily uncivilized conduct. It is disobedience to the revealed will of God. So some of the nicest individuals you know are considered wicked in the eyes of God. Please don’t misunderstand this truth. It is this sort of wicked people that will not understand end time prophecy.

They will not understand the expo in end time prophecy, even if it is given to them before the examination; such as the expo about the change of the Sabbath, prophesied many centuries before it occurred. This expo is, interestingly, by the same prophet, Daniel, who was the only prophet mentioned by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24 — a chapter dealing with events of the last days. See verse 15.

If you don’t understand Daniel 7:25, you will happily worship the beast while telling yourself that you are worshipping God. See Matthew 7:21-23 and remember that these people were not hypocrites. They were only greatly deceived. If you reject the truth, God will allow you to be greatly deceived. The Bible refers to this as “strong delusion.” So beware!

2 Thessalonians 2:11
“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:”

Why?

2 Thessalonians 2:10
“Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”

Don’t let anybody deceive you with arguments in favour of Sunday-keeping based on commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The person trying to deceive you knows you are a Christian. Without some explanation, you will not willingly and brazenly break any of the Commandments of God and try to justify your action. But this deceiver is probably capitalizing on the fact that you do not know that there is a ceremony in the Christian religion for commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is right there in your Bible. And it is known as baptism. Why else do you think we get baptized? Do you not know that baptism is all about identifying with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Romans 6:4
“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.”

The above scripture talks about our symbolic death, burial, and resurrection — all through the single ceremony of baptism. This is also definitive proof that the only biblically sound form of baptism is by being buried under the water and coming up again. That is the only format that can be faithful to Romans 6:4.

Guess who introduced all sorts of baptism styles, including sprinkling water on a person? That is your research assignment but I assure you that you will learn a lot by finding out which church practices baptism that is not by full immersion into water. Baptism by immersion has biblical significance because it is a ritual showing that we believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and would emulate Him by dying to sin and coming out of the water to live a new life of righteousness.

Can you see why God laments that His people are destroyed for lack of knowledge? If the people of God knew that baptism was the ceremony calculated to commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, nobody would have been able to deceive them to break one of God’s commandments based on the excuse of celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Do you know that, if this concept is sufficiently extrapolated, there is none of God’s commandments that cannot be broken? Just break any law, as long as there is some good thing you intend to achieve by doing that. For example, if you want to help the poor, since you are so caring, go out there and rob a bank. Although you will be breaking the 6th commandment by robbery (stealing), you only want to help the poor and that is a good thing to do. Absurd, right? But that is the thinking of those who use the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the reason for Sunday-keeping. They believe it is ok to break one of God’s commandments in order to make Jesus Christ happy. But the fact is that Jesus Christ never said anything to anyone about honouring His resurrection by keeping Sunday holy. Nothing. That is what baptism is all about, and it commemorates, not just the death, but the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a complete ritual showing that both the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ were equally important.

Jesus Christ instructed His disciples to pray a prayer that can only make sense if they were expected to be Sabbath-keepers long after He had resurrected and gone to heaven. Should we put words in the mouth of Jesus Christ or go by His own words? What is to be done about the evidence for post-resurrection and post-pentecostal Sabbath-keeping in Mathew 24:20? This question is for those claiming that the Sabbath was changed. But we have Jesus Christ essentially saying, in Matthew 24:

“Jerusalem and this Temple you are looking at shall be destroyed in AD70. But I will give you an opportunity to escape this coming destruction in AD66. However, when you see the sign in verse 15 spoken of by Daniel the prophet, you will need to move fast.”

Matthew 24:17-18
“Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.”

“But keep praying that God will so control events that your flight will not be in the winter time because you know winter here is quite cold. And also remember to pray that your flight should not be on the Sabbath day.”

The question has not changed. Why would Jesus Christ instruct His disciples to pray that their flight should be on any other day but not on the Sabbath day? See verse 20. This is a perfect example of how the Bible serves as the sword of the Spirit to cut down the lies of the enemy. Thank God for that statement by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24:20. It makes it impossible to teach (from the Bible) that the Sabbath day commandment was changed by Jesus Christ. No sir. Daniel the prophet said it will be changed — by an enemy of God!

In conclusion, remember that the second and the fourth commandments have been tampered with. And the RCC has never denied this. It is right there in their publications available to the public. You can choose to ignore the prophecy about this in Daniel 7:25. But you can never claim ignorance.

May God have mercy on all of us.

NB:
What a string of coincidences!

The Bible did not command the keeping of Sunday as a holy day. But Christians are made to keep it even though we now know it is in honour of the sun-god.

The Bible did not command the celebration of Christmas, neither was Jesus Christ born on the 25th of December. But Christians are made to celebrate it. We now know Christmas has everything to do with Tammuz, the child of the sun-god Nimrod, whose wife was Semiramis.

Additionally, we now know that the 40-day lent period has nothing to do with the 40-day fast of Jesus Christ. Nobody seems to have ever wondered why the 40-day lent period supposedly ends with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Did Jesus Christ fast for 40 days as a countdown to His death and resurrection or did He fast before the beginning of His ministry, three and a half years before His death? So who or what is the real reason behind the lent period?

As shocking as this may appear, the lent period is the period of weeping for Tammuz, the old pagan god that supposedly also resurrected after dying. This was actually something the Israelites did while in apostasy. They wept for Tammuz, and that is what the lent period is all about — weeping for Tammuz.

Ezekiel 8:14
“Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.”

Indeed, as wise king Solomon said, there is nothing new under the sun.

Do you know that the Israelites were also worshipping a goddess known as the “Queen of Heaven”? Yet Christians are deceived to worship this goddess by being told that she is Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. You don’t believe me? Ok. Ask a member of the RCC who the Queen of Heaven is. You will be told she is Mary. But ask the Bible, and here is what the Bible will tell you.

Jeremiah 44:17
“But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.”

Note that Jeremiah 44 (quoted above) was written around 587BC. So this queen of heaven is an ancient goddess, well-known amongst the heathen for thousands of years before the birth of Jesus Christ. The Queen of Heaven is not and can never be Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ.

As we say in Nigeria, it’s all packaging. If you have the courage to believe the Bible, now you know who the Queen of Heaven really is. See Jeremiah 7:18, 44:25, 26.

Jeremiah 44:25-26
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth.”

Claiming that the Queen of Heaven is Mary is all packaging to get sincere people to do what they otherwise might not do. If you are a member of the RCC, hear the word of the LORD God that created you and owns your life. Exercise courage and accept the truth.

Furthermore, the Bible did not command the celebration of Easter. But Christians are made to celebrate it. We now know that Easter is in honour of Ishtar, a pagan god. It is even this god, Ishtar, that supposedly resurrects Tammuz. Why is it that every “Christian” celebration is rooted in paganism, with no biblical authority?

Again, the Bible did not command the celebration of Halloween. But Christians are made to celebrate it, with some curious explanation that should impress the mind of a little child — who cannot read the Bible for themselves. But we now know that Halloween has everything to do with paganism. Even the “12 days of Christmas” has been rightly claimed by witches as their celebration.

Are these all coincidences?

Isn’t it a cause for concern that the only commandment in the Bible that resembles a celebration is the Sabbath commandment and yet Christians are made to trample upon it, in spite of the fact that God said an enemy will tamper with it? How comes the celebrations rooted in paganism are the ones faithfully kept by Christians but excuses are multiplied in a stringent effort to avoid keeping the one and only day commanded by God to be kept holy? Sunday, Christmas, Easter, Halloween, 12 Days of Christmas, Valentine Day, etc?

This is no mystery — except you don’t believe Daniel 7:25.

Clarifications
1.
After the resurrection of Jesus Christ, His disciples did not gather together on the first day of the week in order to keep Sunday holy. According to the Bible, they were gathered “for fear of the Jews.” See John 20:19. Thus, it is sheer desperation on the part of those promoting Sunday observance to attempt to use this first-day gathering to teach worship on the first day of the week.

2.
The instruction of Apostle Paul that collections be made on the first day of the week is quite similar to the above. The collection is assumed to be part of a worship service. But the Bible never said so. When you bear in mind the fact that these people were largely farmers, it all makes sense. If you are thinking of naira notes and dollar bills, you will not understand that, for this collection to happen, people needed to go to their farms and sweat it out — either digging or plucking.

3.
In the case of the worship service said to have taken place on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7) it was Saturday evening that was meant by “first day of the week” and not Sunday. For evidence of the foregoing assertion, see verse 8:

Acts 20:8
“And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.”

Lights?

Yes of course. Because it was late in the evening.

Note that verse 7 mentioned that Paul preached until midnight.This was a Saturday evening meeting, because, for Jews, a day begins in the evening of the preceding day. Even the Sabbath day begins on Friday evening. Interestingly, this is biblical and based on the account of creation. Remember Genesis? “And the evening and the morning were the first day,” etc. In the Bible, the evening of a day comes before the morning of that day. Monday begins by Sunday evening; Thursday begins by Wednesday evening; and so on and so forth.

Genesis 1:13
“And the evening and the morning were the third day.” See Genesis 1:5, 8, 19, etc.

This means Sunday begins by Saturday evening. And Paul’s journey was scheduled for Sunday morning — after the Sabbath on Saturday. And the Bible says Paul departed at daybreak. That’s daybreak on Sunday. So the breaking of bread was on Saturday evening, which the writer of Acts of the Apostles, Dr Luke, referred to as “the first day of the week.”

Acts 20:11
When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

The meeting needed lamps and ended by daybreak when Paul left for his journey. It was an evening meeting — a Saturday evening meeting that dragged on until Sunday morning. It is this Saturday evening that Dr Luke rightly referred to as the first day of the week. If Paul was scheduled to travel on a Thursday instead of on a Sunday, there is no way he would have had access to the disciples. His trip was apparently planned for Sunday morning so that, during what we refer to as “sundown” worship on the Sabbath day, he can have access to the brethren and speak with them, before his departure the next day. For a typical Sabbath day that ends by 6pm, this sundown service to “close the Sabbath” would normally begin around 5pm. We Sabbath keepers are used to these things. So that meeting Paul had was apparently a sundown Sabbath meeting that then blended into the first day of the week by the end of the Sabbath on that same Saturday. It certainly wasn’t a Sunday evening meeting that blended into the second day of the week, which is how Dr Luke would have described a Sunday evening that was so into Monday (in Jewish reckoning) the people gathered required “many lights” as reported in Acts 20:8.

4.
Rev. Fr Kelvin Ugwu did not include the passage below as part of his treatise on why majority of Christians worship on Sundays, but I’m fully aware that this is one of the passages of the Bible used to give Christians the necessary courage to boldly break the Sabbath commandment week after week, with no fear that they are guilty of anything. Their confidence is firm and only in the end will this error be understood, if care is not taken.

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.”

A similar reading is found in Ephesians 2:15.

Fortunately, these two passages have already been addressed in an earlier article. Those interested should refer to the published article titled: A Private Conversation With My Wife’s Friend, which is also available on request. The summary is that each and every feast day in Israel was a Sabbath day. Whether Passover, or Pentecost, or the feast of Tabernacles, or the Day of Atonement or whatever feast: they were all Sabbath days, meaning rest days. They can fall on any day of the week. When they coincide with the weekly Sabbath day (which is different and which is based on the Ten Commandments) you have a high Sabbath. Apparently, some overzealous Christian Jews, already used to these feasts, were compelling the Gentile Christians to keep these feasts also. Jesus Christ had already converted one of these feasts (Passover) into the Holy Communion. But some Jewish Christians wanted all the feasts kept. It was to address this issue that Paul wrote what he wrote in Colossians 2:14-16. Note that the KJV correctly renders this as “sabbath days” making it clear that Paul was not referring to the weekly Sabbath day. To intelligently assess my assertion, note that Paul not only mentioned the sabbath days but also mentioned meats and drinks. This is 100% proof that he was not referring to the weekly Sabbath, which is not accompanied with any “meat and drinks” injunctions.

Once again, recall Matthew 7:21-23 and remember that these people were not hypocrites. They were offending God without the slightest notion of their true spiritual condition. And what did Christ accuse them of? He did not deny that they were working miracles in His name, or casting out demons in His name, or doing many commendable works in His name. All He accused them of was that they were workers of iniquity. But how could Christians who loved and believed in Jesus Christ and had such great faith also be workers of iniquity, especially when they were not hypocrites? You will have to agree that they were guilty of something but without a guilty conscience. And the only way this is possible is that someway, somehow, they were made to believe that something that was sinful was actually not sinful. Only the Sabbath commandment qualifies for such. It is the only commandment a Protestant Christian will break with pleasure, believing that that commandment is no longer valid. As for the RCC member, it is the Sabbath commandment plus the second commandment forbidding image worship. But no RCC member or Protestant believes that a person can break the seventh commandment (forbidding adultery) or the sixth commandment (forbidding stealing) or whatever commandment there is, and still inherit the kingdom of God — except they repent. The only commandment Protestants believe they can break (without repenting) and still inherit the kingdom of God is the Sabbath commandment.

What if they are wrong?

What if the Bible means what it says in James 2:10-12?

James 2:10
“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”

According to the Bible, what is sin?

1 John 3:4
“Sin is the transgression of the law.”

Sin is the transgression of the law. To complement that truth, the Bible states how impossible it is for someone to sin without any law, proving the unbreakable nexus between sin and the commandments.

Romans 5:13
“Sin is not imputed when there is no law.”

That is to say, if not because God clearly told Adam not to eat of the fruit of the tree in the midst of the Garden of Eden, Adam would not have been guilty of eating the fruit. This is pure logic and acceptable to every honest person.

And that is all the clue we need to understand the troubling eternal destinies of the deceived Christians in Matthew 7:21-23. There was a law they were breaking. If not, Jesus Christ would not have chased them out of His presence and called them workers of iniquity. Although they were bold and expecting a welcome into the kingdom of God, there was sin in their lives. And sin, according to the Bible, is the transgression of the law. These people were breaking God’s commandment somehow. If they knew they were guilty, they would have been begging Jesus Christ to allow them enter instead of literally demanding that He let them in and reminding Him of the undeniable evidences of their strong relationship with Him. Clearly, whatever guilt these people had was hidden from their eyes. They were guilty without a guilty conscience. Their sin could not have been adultery, or bearing false witness, or committing murder, or stealing. Christians are too wise to believe that they can commit any of such sins without consequences. There is only one commandment that is different from the rest amongst the Ten Commandments. And that is the Sabbath commandment.

Jesus Christ accused the honest but deceived Christians He chased away as being workers of iniquity. Another word for iniquity is lawlessness. And 1 John 3:4 proves that it is impossible to commit any sin without transgressing the law. The Christians of Matthew 7:21-23 were breaking a law and apparently unaware of the consequences. Which was why they were surprised when they were refused entry into heaven in that hypothetical situation Jesus Christ used to pass His message about the importance of doing the will of God. Rightly understood, doing the will of God simply means obeying His commandments.

Again, I restate, the only two commandments the Christians of this world break without guilty conscience are the 2nd one forbidding image worship (RCC) and the 4th one commanding the keeping of the Sabbath (RCC plus 99% of Protestants).

True Christianity is quite unpopular. Anybody can call Jesus Christ Lord. But Jesus Christ, in Matthew 7:21-23, declares that, except a person does the will of God (obeys the commandments of God) they cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. And this was repeated in the last chapter of the last Book of the Bible — just seven verses before the end of the Bible. Let no man deceive you.

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.”

Even non-Christians know that God has Ten Commandments. And that is the only portion of the Bible not inspired by the Holy Spirit. The King of the universe wrote that portion down by Himself and with His own fingers. On tablets of stone.

The great question is why Satan has gone all the way to deceive the people of God about this day of worship. As I have said more than once, Sunday-keeping has a lot to do with the mark of the beast. And everybody would soon find out. Just wait until the powers that be finish cooking what they have been cooking. Revelation 13:8 will be fulfilled in the context of the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name, as stated in Revelation 13:17. And the mark has everything to do with Sunday.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
