That Sign of Him

"The Lord’s followers—who are depicted, twice, as keeping “the commandments of God” (Rev. 12:17; 14:12)—worship God because, as the Creator (and also our Redeemer), He alone is worthy of worship (Rev. 5:9). 
 
And no more foundational symbol of Him as our Creator exists than the seventh-day Sabbath, which (again) the beast power sought to change. 
 
For an earthly power to try to change, in a sense to usurp, the most basic sign of the most basic doctrine, creation, is to attempt to usurp the Lord’s authority at the most basic level possible: God as Creator
 
The only level more basic is God Himself, and because no entity, heavenly or earthly, can get to Him, it instead gets as close as possible: to the foundation sign of Him as Creator—the seventh-day Sabbath."
