IN the NEWS - Man's universal pause button vs. God's universal pause button

God's universal pause button: 7th Day
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.....But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work...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.
Genesis 2:3/Exodus 20:10.11

Man's universal pause button: 1st Day
"Parade is a media and entertainment company that develops news stories and online content across several digital and video platforms. On October 21, 2023, Parade published an article in which Sunday

was promoted as the “universal pause button, or day of rest for individuals to relax, unwind, and recharge. The article stated:

What’s important is that your Sunday reset revitalizes your mind, body and spirit—leaving you feeling restored as you head into the new week.”
Sundays are a designated day for resting, recovering and resetting for the new week ahead. Out of all of the days in the week, Sundays serve as a universal pause button, giving us the chance to slow down and set the tone for the week. The best part about a Sunday reset routine is that it is the antithesis of hustle and bustle—the perfect end-of-week schedule encourages slowness and self-care.”

Unfortunately, Sunday rest—as this article explains—has historically been connected to religious observances, especially in Christianity, where Sunday is mistakenly observed as a day of worship and rest. 

*In contrast to the true Biblical Sabbath, which is observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening, Christians in the Third Century chose Sunday as the day of worship and rest, signifying the fulfillment of Daniel 7:25, when apostate Christianity would attempt to change God’s law.

The concept of a day of rest, typically referred to as the Sabbath or
the
seventh day (Saturday), is rooted in the Biblical account of God resting on the seventh day after creating the world, as described in the Book of Genesis 2:1–3, Exodus 20:8–11, and Hebrews 4:4. Saturday is the true day of rest for people to recharge and take a break from their regular work and daily responsibilities, contributing to their spiritual, physical, and mental well-being.

We are witnessing how the secular media, instead of reporting news, is choosing to spread false religious propaganda in order to become the spokesperson for the beast and its image. Both the secular and religious worlds are pushing the same message: that Sunday is the universal day of rest for all people."
