And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth;
and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men
and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men
which had the mark of the beast,
and upon them which worshipped his image.
Revelation 16:2
During massive upheavals of natural disasters -- with the "Christian Right" citing the fact that we've turned our backs on God, with gay marriage, Planned Parenthood, transgender bathrooms, etc., and hence these disasters are from "God"--------will the "secular left" justify the push for a counterfeit Sabbath, but from a different perspective? Will they join forces?.....Is GREEN the glue of uniting for a counterfeit Sabbath?

WW3?"We’re under attack from climate change—and our only hope is to mobilize like we did in WWII.
In the North this summer, a devastating offensive is underway. Enemy forces have seized huge swaths of territory; with each passing week, another 22,000 square miles of Arctic ice disappears.
Experts dispatched to the battlefield in July saw little cause for hope, especially since this siege is
In the Pacific this spring, the enemy staged a daring breakout across thousands of miles of ocean, waging a full-scale assault on the region’s coral reefs. In a matter of months, long stretches of formations like the Great Barrier Reef—dating back past the start of human civilization and visible from space—were reduced to white bone-yards.
Day after day, week after week, saboteurs behind our lines are unleashing a series of brilliant and overwhelming attacks. In the past few months alone, our foes have used a firestorm to force the total evacuation of a city of 90,000 in Canada, drought to ravage crops to the point where southern Africans are literally eating their seed corn, and floods to threaten the priceless repository of art in the Louvre. The enemy is even deploying biological weapons to spread psychological terror: The Zika virus, loaded like a bomb into a growing army of mosquitoes, has shrunk the heads of newborn babies across an entire continent; panicked health ministers in seven countries are now urging women not to get pregnant. And as in all conflicts, millions of refugees are fleeing the horrors of war, their numbers swelling daily as they’re forced to abandon their homes to escape famine and desolation and disease.

"Pope Francis has sent a message to the XXXVII Rimini Meeting for the Friendship of Peoples. Each year in the Italian city of Rimini, thousands of people gather for an encounter among persons of different faiths and cultures, with hundreds of speakers from all over the world and from all walks of
life.
The Pope’s message for this year’s Meeting was conveyed in a letter signed by Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
In the letter, Cardinal Parolin describes the theme of this year’s Meeting —“You are good for me”...
But, he continued, in the face of the changing age we are living in, “who can imagine he can save himself by himself, and by his own power?”
This, Cardinal Parolin said, is the hope of the Holy Father, “who encourages the participants in the Meeting to be especially mindful of the creative personal testimony,” with the understanding that what attracts others is not the strength of the instruments, but the tenacious meekness of the merciful love of the Father, that each person can attain from the outpouring of the grace that God offers in the Sacraments, especially in the Eucharist and in Penance, to then give to the brothers.”
The Rimini Meeting takes place this year from 19-25 August." VaticanRadio
