These weekly postings are designed to get people excited about
Sunday and to raise awareness about this day.
If anything, people are reading and discussing Sunday and sharing how
meaningful they find this day to be. Additionally, this initiative by
the Los Angeles Times undoubtedly elevates Sunday as a special day for
the community.
Imagine Sunday having its own section in a major
newspaper in the United States.....It won’t be long
before Sunday is formally recognized by law as a special day of rest.
However, Sunday has a long, dark history of not being a fun day for
seventh-day Sabbath keepers, who were persecuted for keeping the true
Sabbath day, Saturday. In actuality, what the Los Angeles Times is doing
is yet another indication and a timely reminder of how Sunday will soon
play a significant role in the politics and spirituality of our
country. Religious persecution and bigotry will be seen very soon here
in the United States. The current social unrest is paving the way for
the fulfillment of the prophecies of Revelation 13. In the face of
severe political and economic turmoil, both religious and political
leaders will seek to adopt Sunday as the solution to humanity’s
problems.
It seems we have lost the urgency of the hour and the duty of proclaiming to the world the following:
“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.” Revelation 14:9, 10.
The true observers of the Sabbath, those who adhere to the fourth
commandment of God’s law, will find themselves standing against all the
political and ecclesiastical powers of the world."
