Polish bishops for total ban on Sunday shopping

"Free Sundays are what all Catholics, non-Catholics and non-believers need," Archbishop Stanislaw Gadecki told Polish Radio ahead of a meeting of the Bishops Conference on Friday, which is expected to support the ban. The idea was put forward last year by the powerful Solidarity trade union, backed by a million-strong petition, and has been batted back and forth in a parliamentary subcommittee ever since. The clerics are careful to base their argument on quality of life rather than religious grounds. "Families don't just need financial support, they need time for themselves," said the Archbishop of Katowice, Wiktor Skworc."

I just got word from a brother in the faith that lives in Poland that they plan to enforce the ban starting January 1, 2018. And no, this is not yet the enforcement of the mark of the beast. But it is a major stepping stone in that direction. As we just saw in a video I just made and then posted on YouTube yesterday titled, "1 Million to pray Rosary on Polish Border," as prophesied, Rome is doing all they can to normalize Paganism in the minds of billions of people so as to make Catholicism to appear as moral when in fact it is not. Having millions openly pray using pagan prayer beads in public to having the entire nation of Poland to close their businesses on the ancient day of worship for the pagan Sun god Baal is nothing more than a show of force on Satan's part. He knows his time is short and at the same time he knows he has most souls in his camp. So just as in Noah's day, most will believe the lies over the truth. And for those of you that think you would never agree to embrace pagan rituals as the norm, you need to double check your current holiday activities a bit more. Not only has Rome moved all Christian churches to keep Sunday holy, they also take part in pagan rituals most now call Christmas and Easter.

Those of us that study prophecy know Sunday laws will be enforced in the United States first. But what many fail to realize is how the powers that be must first normalize that act of open rebellion against the Christian God by declaring a day of worship He never sanctified, and they must do so worldwide. Yes, I am very aware most Christian has no idea how they are already in bed with Rome on this one. And so our work is cut out for us as we proclaim that loud cry prophecy speaks of. But for those of you that are Christian who keep Sunday holy, I implore you to read your Bibles and you will see the Lord declared in both the Old and New Testament that the seventh day Sabbath has been the "Lord's holy day" of worship ever since He created Angels who kept His law in Heaven long before mankind was ever created. But as we all know, prophecy must be fulfilled and so this will still happen and the overwhelming majority of Christians will ignore all this and receive the mark just as easily as they agree to dress up their Christmas trees and Easter eggs.

And for those that think I need to sit for a fitting for a tinfoil bonnet on this one, check out my Sabbath attack page wherein I have well over a thousand videos, articles and doc files proving the Roman Catholic Popes are doing everything they can to push for Sunday Laws globally just as the prophecy said they would. In fact, they have even gone so far as to declare Nazi war criminal Pope John Paul II a "saint" so as to have him supposedly "speak from heaven" via his Dios Domini wherein he declared, and I quote, "Christians will naturally strive to ensure that civil legislation respects their duty to keep Sunday holy." And so yes, Sunday Laws are in fact prophesied! And according to the Roman Catholic Church, they admit in writing that Sunday Sabbath is their MARK just as the Bible said they would. See the quotes and doc files confirming that on my mark of the beast page.

Christian churches already keep Sunday holy without a single Bible verse to back up their Roman invention of Sunday Sabbath. Were you aware that the Jews already agreed to keep Sunday holy for the Pope as well as desecrate the true Sabbath as of April 21 of this year? And were you also aware that Seventh Day Adventists have dozens of Sunday keeping churches and their Conference leaders declare "it's no big deal" for them to do so? Christian prophecy will be fulfilled no matter if you're ready for it or not. But it is the prayer of this ministry that you do in fact get ready to meet the Lord Jesus Christ very soon.

#10 Disease and famine would be prevalent
Matthew 24:7, "...there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."

Now we already discussed the prophecy concerning the earthquakes in part one of this series. So I will only touch on the famines and disease that prophecy says is to be prevalent today.

We have all seen the videos wherein we see starving children in Ethiopia and other distressed nations for decades. When I last watched TV years ago I can still recall the countless commercials seeking donations for the hungry. One would think with all the money flowing into these nations, American TV alone would have rectified the matter by now. But we have to keep in mind that these are in fact the last days where mankind is more apt to seek ways to make himself rich, rather than help those in need. Just as the false preachers "make merchandise" of their congregations starving for truth, as per the prophecy found in 2 Peter 2:3. They do the same thing with those starving for food. Even if it means they have to keep the people starving forever to assure the donations flowing, they will do just that. Since the love of many has waxed cold as Jesus prophesied they would in Matthew 24:12; making money off the suffering of others will be utilized in these last days. In fact, this is also why we have so many diseases today. The medical profession is no longer concerned with the people as they are with their bottom line. They know if they use the natural methods that have been proven to work, healing the people will cut their profits down drastically. So, just as those seeking donations to feed to hungry take most of the money for themselves and only give the starving a smattering of food; the doctors hold back the cure and even arrest the real doctors that actually heal the people to assure their government research grants keep flowing, and their profits keep rising in the drug industry. This greed has lead to much worse conditions than man could ever have imagined.

For example. When it comes to famines, according to worldhunger.org, who only has the numbers for 2010 and back for some strange reason, there are 19 million people going hungry in developed countries; 37 million going hungry in Near East and North Africa; 53 million more in Latin America and the Caribbean of all places. And in Sub-Saharan Africa, we have a whopping 239 million people starving! Pretty bad isn't it? But I saved the worst for last. In Asia and the Pacific, we actually see 578 million people starving, or severely undernourished as of 2010 statistics! That means as of 3 years ago, 925 million people starving in the world! I shudder to think how large that number is now since the global economy has worsened in the last two years. Could it be this is why Worldhunger.org doesn't post the totals for 2011 or 2012? Could it be the US drought, and other droughts around the world have stressed the resources to feed the hungry and therefore caused the number to grow exponentially? In any event, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

When you do the math. Worldhunger.org states with roughly 7 billion on earth that's 13.1% or almost 1 in 7 people going hungry every day as of 2010 statistics. And I am sure it's well over 1 billion starving by now. By the way, malnutrition also leads to the spread of disease. On that site where I got these statistics they also stated the following.

"Undernutrition magnifies the effect of every disease, including measles and malaria. The estimated proportions of deaths in which undernutrition is an underlying cause are roughly similar for diarrhea (61%), malaria (57%), pneumonia (52%), and measles (45%) ...Malnutrition can also be caused by diseases, such as the diseases that cause diarrhea, by reducing the body's ability to convert food into usable nutrients." -(http://www.worldhunger.org)

Question: I just read the book of Enoch and I like to know who decided what book was inspired by God or who was inspired by God to select the books that were to be part of the Bible. Thanks... Also a friend of mine called me up and told me that her brother saw on the history channel that in Egypt they dug up this 6 foot pot in 1945 (I thought it was recently) and in it were some books and one of the books was the book of Thomas in 2 different languages Is this a disciple? And why are we finding it now? Why wouldn't he add it to the Bible? Why would he hide it for all these years? Is it good to read?

ANSWER:
God decided which books were inspired. Which books were inspired? Do you recall when the Two Witnesses were killed and left dead in the streets? As Christians we know the Two Witnesses = the Old and New Testament. (See this... ) At that time the only books that were protected by God were the 66 books we use today. Any other book that man claims to be inspired today, that were present back then would not be trustworthy, because had they been God would have protected them along with the other 66 books.

Question: It was told to me from a pastor of mine and a student studying to become a pastor, that salvation itself does not come from doing the 10 commandments but in one point I disagree because in 1 John 2:1-6 says different. Am I wrong? It’s not to see if I am correct but just to know if I’m in the right path.

ANSWER:
You are correct. However, not as you may think. We are not saved by keeping the Law, we keep the Law because we ARE saved. The Law, or obedience of it, is a FRUIT of the Christian that proves their loyalty to God. That is why 1 John 2:1-6 cut your heart as it did. So, no. We are not saved by keeping the Law. That would mean we are saved by works, and that is not true. But we do keep the Law as a way to show we love the Lord.

By the way. Look in Revelation 14:6-11. It speaks of people that get the mark of the beast and why. Then look at verse 14. It speaks of people that don't get it and why. Being obedient to His Law will prevent us from  receiving the mark of the beast. PLUS, Revelation 22:14 says, "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." That's right! Only those that have Jesus as Lord and keep His commandments will be IN HEAVEN. For more info see this..

Lesson 18:

The Treasure in the Temple

Continuing from last month...

12. Yet what thing will God not alter?
Psalm 89:34 ________________________________________________


13. Did the Ten Commandments come from His lips?
Exodus 20:1 _______________________________________________
We must not confuse the ceremonial ordinances with the moral law which is summarized in the Ten Commandments. As God does not change (James 1:17), neither do His commandments. God’s commandments are His righteousness (Psalm 119:172) which He puts in us when He justifies us (Compare Romans 3:22 with Hebrews 10:16, 17).

14. What law is it that has real significance for the Christian?
1 Corinthians 7:19 __________________________________________

15. How did Paul describe God’s commandments?
Romans 7:12 _______________________________________________

16. Looking into the law is like unto a man doing what?
James 1:23-25______________________________________________


17. When we look into the law as a mirror, what does it show us?
Romans 3:20 (last part) ______________________________________


18. Would we know what sin is if there was no law?
Romans 7:7 ________________________________________________

19. To what else are God’s commandments compared?
Proverbs 6:23 ______________________________________________

20. Because God’s law reveals to us the sin in our lives, it plays an important role in doing what for the soul?
Psalm 19:7 _________________________________________________

21. Once the law has shown us our sin, does it have the power to justify us?
Romans 3:20 (first part) ______________________________________

22. Who only can save us?
Acts 4:10, 12 _______________________________________________

23. Do we then make void the law?
Romans 3:31 _____________________________________________
“I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.” Psalm 40:8.
“These things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.” Titus 3:8.
“For the wages of sin is death.” Romans 6:23.

24. What is sin?
1 John 3:4 ________________________________________________

25. Is sin counted when there is no law?
Romans 5:13
_____________________________________________
“The strength of sin is the law.” 1 Corinthians 15:56.

26. So if the law was abolished, there would be no more sin?
Romans 4:15
_____________________________________________
Jesus then could have eliminated sin without having to suffer. All He would have to do is change the law. Rewrite the law, and there would be no more violation, no need for anyone to pay the penalty. Christ would not have had to die.

The very fact that Christ died is the strongest proof that He would not change His law. For “it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.” Luke 16:17.

27. While justifying those who believe in Jesus, God must at the same time be what?
Romans 3:26
_____________________________________________

28. How long will all God’s commandments stand?
Psalm 111:7, 8
____________________________________________

Psalm 19:7-11
