Headlines Declare Mark of the Beast (Sunday Law) is Coming!
  • Ayers: Constitution needs to be replaced
    "President Obama's longtime buddy, unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, Thursday night told debate opponent Dinesh D'Souza and an audience at Dartmouth College that the Constitution is an outmoded document and it ought to be changed. ...In his memoir, he wrote, “Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon. The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bxxxxxds were finally going to get what was coming to them." --Both those for and against the American way of life (that being freedom of course) are now agreeing on changing the US Constitution. As I exposed in a video last month, our own political leaders are meeting privately behind closed doors in the same building the original Constitution was written so as to change the Constitution. And now those that hate America are also on board with a change? Sound confusing? Could it be the terrorists are working hand in hand with our own political leaders to bring about the need for a change as they did in the EU and Middle East so that Rome's plans to draft Sunday Laws into all Constitutions is a done deal? Ok.. ok.. That was a rhetorical question. Suffice it to say, it was prophesied they would change the Constitution, and now we see them looking to do just that. By the way, you are aware of who's behind all these Constitutional changes, right? If not, read this Vatican Statement... "But Constitutions can be changed, and non-Catholic sects may decline to such a point that the political proscription [ban] of them may become feasible and expedient. What protection would they have against a Catholic state?" -The State and the Church, pp.38,39, by Miller and Ryan, imprimatur of Cardinal Hayes. Source: http://www.wnd.com
  • BREAKING NEWS!!! THE POLITICAL PROBLEM OF RELIGIOUS PLURALISM  
    "Kozinski explained to ZENIT why a "confessional" state, that is, one in which Catholicism is the official religion, is necessary to provide a proper foundation for human flourishing." -Prophecy said the house of Antichrist will seek to force everyone on earth under one religion; therefore Rome will do exactly that. What most don't realize is, all "Christian" denominations, including the SDA church have already joined with Rome in the World council of Churches. It is so convincing lukewarm Christians is already a done deal. In fact, when you merge Catholics with so called Protestants, as the WCC has done, you get the largest group on earth. How will they get Muslims to go along? Well, demons in Rome have already used "Mary" to lure Catholics back into the church in the early 1900's with demonic apparition, and Mary is already a key figure in the Koran, so, it will be interesting to see how they do it. In any event, once they get this done, and they will do it; convincing all people that a Sunday Law is needed to stop the global calamities will be accepted by all as proper, except of course the remnant people. It is then we will be the world wide target of all as the Jews were in Esther's day. And like Esther's day, our God will do unto them as they would have done unto us when He splits that Eastern Sky! (I will be doing a blog entry on breaking down this article soon. So please watch for it.) Source: http://www.zenit.org
  • AFRICA/EGYPT - The Bishops express their appreciation for the new Constitution
    "The Preamble of the Constitution states that the Egyptian people "greets the Virgin Mary and her Infant protecting them during their pilgrimage in Egypt, expressing respect and appreciation for the Christian religion." --Without even being a fly on the wall when this Constitution was drafted, students of prophecy knew the Roman Catholic church was behind all the unrest in the region as well as their new constitution all along. And now, from the lips of their very own operatives in Egypt, we have our smoking gun. As expected, the beast in Rome has garnered another puppet regime so as to assure her mark is enforced unfettered.. Source: http://cnsnews.com
  • DOE Plugs Energy Rating for Homes, Similar to MPG Rating for Cars
    "The Energy Department on Tuesday is rolling out new, improved software to help Americans measure the energy efficiency of their homes. DOE says its energy-scoring software, called the Home Energy Scoring Tool, is like a vehicle's mile-per-gallon rating because it allows homeowners to compare the energy performance of their homes to other homes nationwide. ...The software is part of the government's effort to reduce the nation's energy consumption." --There's a multitude of ways to look at this new type of energy rating. First and foremost, it does appear to give the consumer a valid way to save on energy costs by showing them how wasteful they may or may not be. Only problem is, this also gives the powers that be the evidence they need to regulate energy rationing. Worse yet, these smart bubbles on everyone's homes also grant them the ability to turn off your power from a distance when you refuse to accept the mark of the beast. So even here, they have the tools by which to force people to receive the mark. Or.. so they think. God's people have been preparing for this day for quite some time now. Source: http://cnsnews.com
  • Nun claims to have been healed by JP2
    "A French nun says she felt new inner strength and vitality as her Parkinson's disease suddenly disappeared in 2005 a recovery the Vatican attributes to the miraculous intercession of Pope John Paul II." -Besides the fact the Bible clearly states John Paul 2 cannot "affect anything that happens under the Sun" once he is dead, the Vatican is simply, and as usual, jumping the gun here. In the not-so-distant past, the Vatican method of canonization took at least a few hundred years of investigation. Yet, the Vatican is fast tracking JP2's sainthood in a crazed manner for some a reason. Ratzinger's decadent and well documented pedophilia problem is making it hard for Rome to look holy and trustworthy for most. So, they desperately need positive PR image for the church if they are ever to be successful in the enforcing of their mark. After the prophesied calamities increase, the pope will declare a need for religious "catholic" reformation so as to stop all the problems. With John Paul 2 firmly ensconced in "sainthood" they will have their ace in the hole to draw on. All the world (well, most of it) will then think Rome is godly and Sunday Laws will be easily ushered in upon the blind that refuse the three angels message the Lord has been trying to share with them since the end times officially began.

This page is to be a tool for those Christians in need of a quick response to those claiming the Sabbath was changed from the 7th day to Sunday the 1st day of the week during the time of the Apostles besides the fact that there is not a single verse to prove this in the Old or New Testament. But Historic record proves the Sabbath was never changed to Sunday by any governing authority until Constantine the 1st on March 7, 321AD. Since there is no Scriptural proof God ever changed His Sabbath day, and since there is historic proof man did try to change it, what is the logical step for the true Christian that seeks to follow the Christian God's will?

HISTORIC FACTS ARE AS FOLLOWS...

"Unquestionably the first law, either ecclesiastical or civil, by which the sabbatical observance of Sunday is known to have been ordained is the sabbatical edict of Constantine, A.D. 32I." -Chambers" Encyclopedia, Article "Sunday."

"On the Venerable Day of the Sun ["venerabili die Solis"--the sacred day of the Sun] let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country, however, persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits; because it often happens that another day is not so suitable for grain-sowing or for vine-planting; lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost--Given the 7th day of March, [A.D. 321], Crispus and Constantine being consuls each of them for the second time." The First Sunday Law of Constantine 1, in "Codex Justinianus," lib. 3, tit. 12, 3; trans. in Phillip Schaff "History of the Christian Church," Vol. 3, p. 380.

 The following is what Constantine' law required of the people...  "Let all the judges and town people, and the occupation of all trades rest on the venerable day of the sun; but let those who are situated in the country, freely and at full liberty attend to the business of agriculture; because it often happens that no other day is so fit for sowing corn and planting vines; lest the critical moment being let slip, men should lose the commodities granted by Heaven." Translated from the original edict in Latin, now in Harvard College U.S.A.

16 years after Constantine' first Sunday Law of A.D. 321, the Roman church made it official church doctrine by claiming it was a Jewish day. In this church doctrine they also demand all Christians to break Commandment #4 by working on Sabbath!

 Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday [in the original: "sabbato" shall not be idle on the Sabbath], but shall work on that day; but the Lord's day they shall especially honour, and as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out ["anathema,"--excommunicated] from Christ." Council of Laodicea, c. A.D. 337, Canon 29, quoted in C.J. Hefele, "A History of the Councils of the Church," Vol. 2, p. 316.

Question: Why Does the Lord say to Remember the Sabbath?

As we know the Lord God created all that is seen and unseen within six literal days, and then rested and sanctified (set apart for holy use) the seventh day.

  • Genesis 1:31-2:3, "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."

The seventh day, or "Sabbath" as we rightfully call it, is a memorial each week that reminds us of all that He has done for us in creation week. As we look around and see the trees, the animals, the oceans, the sky and even our loved ones we realize all of this was the end result of His creating it. Psalms 111:4 clearly says, "He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion." When we remember His Sabbath we are acknowledging Him as our Creator. According to the fourth commandment, this is our duty as Christians. 

  • 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."

There is another reason the word "remember" is being used in that passage that many Christians fail to catch. In Isaiah 46:10 we read, "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:" Since the Lord knows "the end from the beginning," it is obvious He knew we would be taught to forget His Sabbath near the end of time. We can confirm this as fact when we see what His prophets say regarding this topic. For example, Daniel the prophet predicted the following regarding the beast of Revelation that he will, "...think to change times and laws:" (Daniel 7:25) of God. As we can clearly see, most Christian churches do in fact keep Sunday instead of Sabbath holy each week. The Sabbath is within the heart of the "Law" of God, is it not? When we see all the churches following after the beast as was prophesied they would in Revelation 13:3, we see that yes, the Lord is saying to "remember" His Sabbath because the churches have indeed forgotten it. In short, the word "remember" in Exodus 20:8 is in fact a prophetic statement that came about on March 07, 321AD and has been active ever since.

 

Continuing from last month...

The oceans of our present world will be gone from the Heavenly Kingdom once it resides on Earth.

  • Revelation 21:1, "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea."

Not only that, but once the Kingdom of Heaven descends from above after the 1000 years and makes Earth its headquarters, the deserts of this earth will actually become gardens, on this re-created planet.

  • Isaiah 35:1-2, "The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God."

Ever wonder what it would be like to ride a grizzly bear, or play wrestle with a mountain lion? Well this too will become a reality in God's Heaven. The animals will be tame, none will prey upon others, and a little child will lead them.

  • Isaiah 11:6-9, "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."

  • Isaiah 65:25, "The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD."

No more curse upon mankind.

  • Revelation 22:3, "And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:"

Nor will there be violence of any sort.

  • Isaiah 60:18, "Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise."

This also means no floods, no tornados, no hurricanes, no earthquakes... etc. Nothing defiling in any way will be found in Heaven, plus... NO LIARS!.

Revelation 21:27, "And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."

 

Will there be children in Heaven? And will they grow up while residing there?

Zechariah 8:5, " And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.”

  • Malachi 4:2, "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

Think about that! All those saved parents that have lost their children will be able to see them grow up in heaven with all its awesome gifts and glory!

Will we know each other in Heaven?.

  • 1 Corinthians 13:12, "...then shall I know even as also I am known."

Will we have bodies in Heaven?

  • In Luke 24:36, after His ensure Jesus says, "...Behold my hands and feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

Is it not written "...we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body..." The Bible says, we'll have the same body Jesus has, and He has flesh and bones!

Did you also know that besides the mansion that is built for the children of God in the city of Heaven...

  • John 14:1-3, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

    ;

We also will be allowed to go out into the newly created world after the 1000 years and build our own homes with our very own hands.

  • Isaiah 65:21,22, "And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the  days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands."

Imagine that, having all of eternity to build your second home anywhere in a newly created worldwide paradise, and having eternity to perfect it!

Medical Missionary Work

Medical missionary work is the pioneer work of the gospel, the door through which the truth for this time is to find entrance to many homes. Gods people are to be genuine medical missionaries; for they are to learn to minister to the needs of both soul and body. The purest unselfishness is to be shown by our workers as, with the knowledge and experience gained by practical work, they go out to give treatments to the sick. As they go from house to house, they will find access to many hearts. Many will be reached who otherwise never would have heard the gospel message. A demonstration of the principles of health reform will do much toward removing prejudice against our evangelical work. The Great Physician, the originator of medical missionary work, will bless all who thus seek to impart the truth for this time. Physical healing is bound up with the gospel mission. When Christ sent his disciples out on their first missionary journey, he bade them: “ As ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” And when at the close of his earthly ministry he gave them their commission, he said, “These signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;... they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.             

    Of the disciples after Christ’s ascension we read, “ They went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.” Luke is called “the beloved physician.” He labored in connection with Paul in Philippi; and when Paul left that place, Luke stayed, doing double service as a physician and a gospel minister. He was indeed a medical missionary, and his medical skill opened the way for the gospel to reach many hearts.

Christ sought the people where they were, and placed before them the great truths in regard to his kingdom. As he went from place to place, he blessed and comforted the suffering and healed the sick. This is our work. Small companies are to go forth to do the work to which Christ appointed his disciples. While laboring as evangelists, they can visit the sick, praying with them, and if need be, treating them, not with medicines, but with the remedies provided in nature. by E.G. White. Review and Herald Vol. 6 pg. 467

  

John 9:11 says “He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.”

  • Homeland Security Wants to Spy on 4 Square Miles at Once ’
    "Homeland Security doesn't have a particular system in mind. Right now, it's just soliciting "industry feedback" on what a formal call for such a "Wide Area Surveillance System" might look like. But it's the latest indication of how powerful military surveillance technology, developed to find foreign insurgents and terrorists, is migrating to the home front." -Still think it's all crazy Christian hype regarding the prophecies regarding a way to control each and every soul on earth? Truth is, even when they do this it won't stop terrorists but hat's only their excuse to do it. Like the Vatican did with Hitler in the past, the powers that be perform their own terrorist attacks upon themselves so as to get public approval to control the masses. Nero did it, Hitler did it, and George W. Bush did it on September 11. We all know these methods wouldn't stop a terrorist if he was hellbent on blowing himself up. So why blanket the planet with cameras? There is a mark coming that will be placed upon every man woman and child that ignores Christian prophecy. They NEED this technology if they ever hope to be successful.

  • Romney Proposes National ID Card  
    "Mitt Romney has a plan. A plan to solve the "immigration problem." And it will come as no surprise to those following the GOP presidential debates that the answer of Romney, the former Governor of Massachusetts and father of the "individual mandate:, is more government." -In other words, thanks to the purposely unattended borders wherein millions of illegals have funneled into the country the last few years, the powers that be now have a "believable" excuse to use a national ID card they set up years ago. By the way, that fact alone proves Romney is taking credit for something he never invented. Do you remember this card? It was tabled a few times over the last few years because many States balked at it. Their main reason for refusing it was there was no real reason for its implementation. The present driver's license seems sufficient. But now, there does appear a reason for its use. So, just like Nazi Germany, Americans from coast to coast will be required to "show us your papers" if you want to continue doing whatever it was you were doing when they stopped you. Is the ID card the mark of the beast? No, of course not. Will it be used to enforce the mark of the beast? Yes, it appears, at present, this is the best technology on hand to do that job. See more info on this here (http://www.remnantofgod.org/ID.htm). By the way, Romney, who is a Mormon, is the favorite in the GOP primary. Is it any wonder he's pushing the Vatican agenda? He knows scoring points this early in the game will make him appear worthy of the task. In other words, this is his way of applying for the job. Source: http://www.thenewamerican.com

Police departments around the country are already testing technologies like Google Glass, lapel cameras and tracking devices that allow safer pursuit of fleeing suspects. But this is merely a glimpse of what's to come." --Mr and Mrs Scoffer, do you still think the prophecy concerning the enforcement of the mark of the beast is a joke?
