Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
The full page ad WILL BE IN THE PAPER!!!
It's confirmed!! Thank you all for your support! A series of miracles resulted in the ad being placed on time and will be run IN THE KEEPSAKE SECTION "Faces of Faith" of the June 2, 2002 newspaper! The newspaper agreed to place the ad without all the money being in by May 22, 2002. We have about half of the needed $2,400.00 already. We are praying and TRUSTING the rest will arrive shortly. Think of it! Over 90,000 households will see the full page ad declaring the Three Angels message in less than 2 weeks!
PRAISE THE LORD! Click here to see full page ad
BTW... Was the announcement by "The Christian Coalition" a HOAX?
Since running my original "Warning" to everyone, I receive 2 emails about the possibility the article could be a hoax. This is the article in question...
Dear Representatives,
The moral fabric of America is wearing thin. We must
not go back to B.A.U. (Business as usual). The terrorists attack on America
September 11, 2001 sent a wake up call to many of us.
We not only need a
day or prayer and unity but many of us here at Christian Coalition believe it is
time to legislate a National Day of Rest. As Dr James Dobson reminds us,
families need time for rest and worship. The United Mine Workers (U.M.W.) of
America support this agenda also.
*"Christopher Columbus has given an
inspiring example of respect for the Sanctity of Sunday under the most trying
circumstances. It illustrates the Spirit of unfaltering trust in God."
Destroy the Sanctity of Sunday and you throw civilization back into
darkness and mire of Pagan materialism -- The observance of Sunday is essential
to the welfare of this Nation.
We must make this part of our
legislated agenda in 2002 and increase our trust in God to protect our
nation. See you in Washington D.C. in October.
Thank you and "God Bless America".
Pastor Mike
Brown
National Church Liaison

Is this ad a hoax? We are not sure at this time. Rest assured, we are right now investigating to further document the source either way. If it comes back as a hoax, I will promptly let ALL of you know. If it comes back as truth, I will let you know that as well. However, as students of prophecy we ALL already know that this WILL happen in the very near future anyway. PLUS, all of us are aware of Pat Robertson's push to get "church & state" separation removed completely regardless of the fact that Jesus declared they should be kept separate. We are also completely aware that Pat Robertson ran for the office of the presidency of the United States not too long ago as a confirmation of his true desires to create the "IMAGE OF THE BEAST" right here in the USA. The Vatican is a "church & state" conglomerate, and as prophecy declares, the USA must make an image of that beast to enforce its mark. Pat Robertson is doing all he can to ensure that end result.
With that said, have you ever realized this? I can walk up to someone and tell them a TRUE story about any prophetic event, or ANY subject for that matter. Most people will choose to ignore the message that is being proclaimed if I proclaim it truth. ESPECIALLY prophecy! Most will choose to think you are lying and they will choose NOT to believe you. Now... let's toss the coin. Let's say I share the exact same story, but this time as I am finishing I declare it to be a HOAX. Then you will see 100% of the people will believe me!
Reality depicts that the governments of this world, as well as large corporations all know this tactic works! The government or large corporation ( that includes "Christian" corporations) can choose to make a public announcement, then after the announcement is made they watch the people. If there is a massive negative reaction they simply start a rumor that it is a HOAX, and 100% of the time the people believe it as such!
Besides... has it not been the desire of Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition to enforce religious LAWS on mankind all along? Hasn't Pat Robertson been the "man in the front" regarding the separation of church & state? Notice the excerpts I have below...
"Without saying so explicitly, the Ten Commandments set the only order that will bring world peace... The next obligation that a citizen of God's world order owes is himself. "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy," is a command for a personal benefit of each citizen..." Pat Robertson, The New World Order, p. 233,236
"The mission of the Christian Coalition is simple. It is "to mobilize Christians one percent at a time, one community at a time, until once again we are the head and not the tail, and at the top rather than the bottom of our political system... the Christian Coalition will be the most powerful political force in America by the end of this decade." And, "We have enough votes to run this country... and when the people say, 'we've had enough,' we're going to take over!" -Pat Robertson,
Pat Robertson (Christian Coalition Founder) said, "There will never be world peace until God's house and God's people are given their rightful place of leadership at the top of the world. . . . Laws in America that mandated a day of rest [Sunday] from incessant commerce have been nullified as a violation of the separation of church and state." (Pat Robertson, The New World Order, 246, 227, 233, 236)Here Pat Robertson cites the separation of church and state as the obstacle that's right now standing in the way of setting up a national Sunday law. They are working feverishly to remove the separation of church and state! They have set up the American Center For Law And Justice (ACLJ), who are on a relentless war bombarding the courts until they can achieve their goal of uniting church and state. Like mother, like daughter eh? The Mother church is working her points in Europe to unite church and state, and the little harlot daughters are following suit in the U.S., thus playing into the hands of and courting the beast in Rome who just only a couple of centuries earlier was engaged in a campaign to snuff them out! Amazing! Totally amazing!
Pat Roberston declares we must keep the Sabbath holy as Scriptures declare correct? Fact is, Pat Robertson is a Roman Sabbath keeper (Sunday Keeper) is he not? And yes, the "Christian Coalition" IS a powerful force! Will it be used by Satan to "take over" as Robertson so boldly proclaims? Time will tell. (Fact is, prophecy already confirms it)
Let me ask everyone this. If the Christian Coalition was NOT planning on lobbying for a NATIONAL SUNDAY LAW in October, then why would Pat Robertson make such bold statements in his book? Regardless if the "Christian Coalition" article is a hoax or not, it really makes no difference. We have DOCUMENTED PROOF from Pat Roberston's own book that this is his desire all along. Pat Robertson boldly declares in his book that the "Ten Commandments set the only order that will bring world peace" at a time when world peace is a desire of billions. He then confirms his global desires when he states that "each citizen" would benefit by this commandment. This is true of course, but knowing the "Christian Coalitions" desire to use the GOVERNMENTS of the world to enforce morality upon the people as he declares in his book. One can easily see a man being directly influenced by the Antichrist himself. In fact, Pat Robertson has no qualms about admitting his alliance with the Roman man of sin. Historic fact is, Pat Robertson said, at a meeting with the Pope in New York City in 1995: "We all admire the Holy Father tremendously. We all want to build bridges with the Catholic Church." PLUS, Pat Robertson as well as Bill Bright - head of Campus Crusade For Christ, Chuck Colson - of Prison Fellowship Ministries, and Don Argue, president, National Association of Evangelicals all participated in a Papal Mass in New York City in 1995 at the Pope's visit. They are learning rather quickly how to do as the beast declares. The ecumenical movements of Roberston and his Coalition mimic the beast with 100% accuracy.
To further solidify in your hearts and minds that this "Christian Coalition" is busy influencing many different faiths into declaring SUNDAY LAWS need to be enforced. Take a gander at the following collection of articles from a bevy of different organizations that happen to be flooding the media lately regarding Robertson and Pope John Paul II's agenda...

36. The Sunday assembly is the privileged place of unity: it is the setting for the celebration of the sacramentum unitatis which profoundly marks the Church as a people gathered "by" and "in" the unity of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
The good word spreads about World Sabbath
Day of prayer seen as a balm for terror
January 22, 2002
BY EMILIA ASKARI
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER
Since that horrible day in September when people drove planes into buildings in the name of God, the Rev. Rod Reinhart has been looking for ways that U.S. residents can work to eliminate religious misunderstandings.
His top suggestion this week:
Join others around the globe Saturday in celebrating the third annual World Sabbath for Religious Reconciliation. It's a holiday that Reinhart, who works for the Episcopal Diocese of Detroit, founded in 1999.
Since then, the number of celebrants has grown as word of the World Sabbath spreads. People worldwide have visited www.worldsabbath.com, the Web site that Reinhart has loaded with a template for anyone to hold a World Sabbath service, including a suggested opening prayer and a liturgy.
Reinhart's event is one of two this week with interfaith themes. Mirroring a prayer meeting with world religious leaders planned by Pope John Paul II in Assisi, Italy, on Thursday, Cardinal Adam Maida of the Detroit Archdiocese will host an interreligious service at noon in downtown Detroit.
To mark the World Sabbath locally, about 500 people are expected to gather at 7 p.m. Saturday at Christ Church Cranbrook, 470 Church Road, Bloomfield Hills. Scheduled speakers include local leaders representing Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist communities.
"We'll be praying for the victims of Sept. 11, giving a Christian, Jewish and Muslim response, and focusing on what we're going to do next to move toward healing," Reinhart said Monday.
The service also will feature a group of Sudanese drummers from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Lansing, plus singing by the choirs of Greater New Mt. Moriah Church in Detroit and All Saints Episcopal Church in Pontiac.
The Thursday interfaith service planned by the Archdiocese of Detroit also will include representatives of many denominations. The service is free and open to the public at SS. Peter and Paul Jesuit Church at St. Antoine and East Jefferson.
In a letter to parishes, Maida said "fervent and faithful prayer brought down communism" and prayer will help bring world peace.
The celebration of two interfaith services in metro Detroit in one week doesn't surprise Reinhart. With large and vibrant faith communities, the area is a natural place for religious tolerance to take root, he said.
"We've made a great start," he said. "Wait and see. In a few years, the World Sabbath will be as big as Kwanzaa."
For information on the World Sabbath, call Reinhart at 734-459-7319 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or go to www.worldsabbath.com. For information about the Catholic service, call 313-237-5943 anytime.

Besides all the OBVIOUS ecumenical movements. Did you notice the article declare they flew the planes into the trade center " in the name of God." Can you see the ECUMENICAL spirit being embraced when they proclaim Allah is now God?
Roman "time" is being enforced so as to get "some" to break the Sabbath. Will the Elect? Not a chance!
Zionist Christianity is American heresy
Egypt-USA, Religion, 5/11/2002
Patriarch of Alexandria and Saint Mark Diocese, Pope Shenouda III said the term Zionist Christianity is an American heresy and a by-product of a bizarre environment that has no existence in the Arab world. There is no such thing as Zionist Christianity in the Arab world, it is an "American heresy", totally unacceptable and rejected by all genuine Christian sects around the world, the Pope emphatically told his congregation at his weekly sermon at St Mark's Cathedral Wednesday night.
"It is a by-product of a bizarre environment in the U.S. under which any radical group has the right to establish a religious belief, giving way to unacceptable political ideologies under the cover of religion," he added.
"It is from this American environment that Jehovah's Witnesses and the Adventists emerged, whose doctrines are much closer to Zionist Judaism than Christianity," he said.
"Christianity in general advocates peace and love and rejects suppression, occupation, usurping the rights of others or liquidating the opposition, which are basic principles in world Zionism," he added.
"Eastern Christianity in particular has been committed to Arab national causes and has together with Islam struggled for the realization of independence and the protection of the land and honour," he said.
"Among the doctrines of these radical groups is the sanctification of the Sabbath and the belief that the return of Christ is linked to the Jewish regrouping in Israel, which are all Zionist beliefs," he added.

Associated Press - SALT LAKE CITY- A Mormon Church authority called on members to boycott Sunday shopping as a way to force community wide obediance to the fourth commandment God gave Moses - to keep the Sabbath holy
Catholic church uses birth control to their advantage...
"In respecting religious liberty and the common good of all, Christians should seek recognition of Sundays and the church's holy days as legal holidays. It is time that we demonstrate our Catholic vitality and engage in the public policy debate. We have the power and the people to embark on this movement - a movement that will benefit all Americans." - Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1994, par. 2188
Catholic church still pushing the civil authorities...
"The civil authorities should be urged to cooperate with the church in maintaining and strengthening this public worship of God, and to support with their own authority the regulations set down by the church's pastor. For it is only in this way that the faithful will understand why it is Sunday and not the Sabbath day that we keep holy." -The Roman Catechism 1985

World Sabbath considered
"It is so dangerous when people are divided over language, ethnicity, and religion." Hakismana said Wednesday. His parents and six siblings were killed in Rwanda's 1994 civil war; and he subsequently devoted his life to promoting peace. "People need this World Sabbath, the whole world needs it."

Remember people. The Lord is in control. This was PLANNED! So don't worry, be CHRISTIANS!
Bush sees new era for church-state cooperation
"Consulting with Catholic leaders, Bush pushes his
agenda for government-backed faith based social programs. About 62 percent of
Catholic Charities comes from government.
Final, Jesuit Father Fred
Kammer, president of Catholic Charities USA, said that while his organization is
supportive of the president's initiative, "an infusion of new federal dollars
is essential to expand our capacity. None of these faith-based partnerships
proposed by the president can work without sufficient funding." -Feb 18,

Catholic Church admits to change
"In respecting religious liberty and the common good of all, Christians should seek recognition of Sundays and the church's holy days as legal holidays. It is time that we demonstrate our Catholic vitality and engage in the public policy debate. We have the power and the people to embark on this movement - a movement that will benefit all Americans." - Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1994, par. 2188

Now do you understand why the Catholic church insisted it's followers NOT use birth control and practice the "rhythm method" all those years? It made for a population explosion of CATHOLICS didn't it? Whenever someone has a LARGE family, what always the first question asked of them? "Are you Catholic?" Fact is people. I know of this. Being one of eleven and father of eight! I "was" a Catholic! Key word here is... WAS. Now look at Congress, over 50% CATHOLIC! Look at the Senate... over 50% CATHOLIC! Look at the Supreme Court... 100% CATHOLIC!

-By Marie Chestney News-Review Staff Writer
-THE BIG QUESTION
School activities that now eat up Saturdays for local students and families are nibbling away at Sundays as well. Should the Public Schools of Petoskey halt school-sanctioned activities on Sunday, to keep activity from gobbling up the SEVENTH DAY also ?
Should Petoskey Schools shut the door on school-sanctioned activities taking place on Sundays? Lots of pros and cons are expected on that question, and the school district wants to hear them at its Thursday Oct 16, meeting of the Petoskey Board of Education.
If there's a groundswell of support for naming Sunday off-limits for school activities, then Sunday "family day" could go into effect at the start of the 2001 school year. -News Review 2000

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND AN ECUMENICAL RALLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF KEEPING SUNDAY AS A DAY OF REST FOR THE WORKING CITIZENS OF OUR NATION AND FOR OUR BLOOD BOUGHT LIBERTY TO WORSHIP GOD ON THAT DAY OF THE WEEK.

The Lord's Day Alliance of the United States
Dear Friends:
Many are concerned
about immorality in out nation. Of great concerns the lack of moral convictions
on the part of many citizens. People fear because of crime, sexual sins,
increased numbers of abortions, pornography, family breakups, and obscene movies
and television programs. Our research indicates that the decline in morality in
the United States parallels the decline in observing the Lord's day. In this our
110th year we face our greatest challenger ever: the challenge of
teaching the importance of keeping the Sabbath (Sunday) holy. We are seeking to
reach a young generation, especially seminarians, with God's instruction
regarding a day for worship and rest.
Gratefully
yours,
Jack P.
Lowndes [Letter dated March 30, 1998]
A call to the people? A national rally to gather forces that will accept the Mark of the Beast with open arms? Indeed! Just as prophecy stated. It's falling into place people. And now that it has gotten to this point it will gather much greater speed in the coming months! We have precious little time. Are you ready? Do you have enough oil? The Bridegroom is coming SOON!
NEVER ON SUNDAY!
Some retailers closing for religious reasons
To allow employees more time for family and worship, this Hobby Lobby will be CLOSED SUNDAYS Beginning May 10th. "Not all people worship that day. But for the "majority", it would give them time for church and to be with their families." [The Huntsville Times 5-3-98]
But for the "majority"? Is it any wonder this argument will be used against us when they realize we will not bend to their "National Sunday Law" so as to stop the plagues that are falling upon them? Was this strategy used before? Indeed it was...
"Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not." John 11:50

ON THE SEVENTH DAY - THEY CLOSED SHOP
They come from different walks of life and different faiths. They run businesses as diverse as fast-food restaurants and hardware rental stores. Yet they share a common conviction: SUNDAYS are special. So every SEVENTH DAY these business people, across the country, pull down the window shade and quietly close shop. [Christian Science Monitor, Monday, May 4, 1998]
That's right my friends, they are starting to do "freely" as what will SOON be FORCED upon everyone to do. These can be called "the harbringers of the mark of the beast" indeed. By the way... did you notice? They are calling the FIRST day of the week, "Sunday" the "seventh" day now. Why? Merely for Biblical CoNfUsIoN purposes so as to lock those that are deceived into a deeper deception. Do you recall the "calendar pic" from above? Praise God the child of God cannot be deceived. ( See Mat. 24:24) All they are doing is deceiving each other right into the ditch.
OVERWORKED? TAKE THE SABBATH
If God could schedule a day of rest creating the world, then Americans should too, after surviving another week. That's the new attitude of promoters of Sabbath observance an idea that's gathering steam in a time when statistics say people are working more and enjoying it less. "They're just so blessed busy," said Floyd Craig, a local board member of the Lord's Day Alliance. [The Tennessean Local News Page 3B]

POPE LAUNCHES CRUSADE TO
SAVE SUNDAY
The Pope will issue a strongly
worded appeal to Roman Catholics this week to restore the sacred nature of
Sunday. Prompted by concern that the Sabbath has been undermined by business and
falling attendances at mass in the West, he will urge Catholics to defend it as
a day of worship and recreation for families...
...the document "Dies Domini"
(The Day of the Lord), is expected to be addressed to all "faithful Catholics"
rather than only to bishops and priests...
It is also expected to win support
from other churches - particularly from evangelical Christians - who share the
Pope's anxiety about the erosion of the Sabbath.
David Phillips, director of the Church Society - an influential grouping within the Church of England - praised the initiative this weekend. "Any thing the Pope says in line with the Bible is to be welcomed," Phillips said. "In this country Sunday has fallen by the wayside and Christians need to recover its sacred character."

STOP SHOPPING ON SUNDAY!

National 'Day of Prayer, Fasting' Fails
in House
By Juliet Eilperin

Wednesday, June 30, 1999; Page A04
A non-binding resolution
calling for a national day of prayer and fasting failed in the House yesterday,
as Congress waded once again into volatile issues of religion and
politics.
The measure was the latest congressional response to a series
of highly publicized school shootings and hate crimes. Sponsored by Rep. Helen
Chenoweth (R-Idaho), the resolution recommended that national, state and local
leaders "call the people they serve to observe a day of solemn prayer, fasting
and humiliation before God."
It's just another "Day of rest" bill like Bill LB1334 listed above pleading for a "day or rest." The Catholic controlled congress wants Sunday to be made into LAW and they will continue to push laws forward that eventually WILL be passed. Prophecy guarantees it! Notice a small excerpt of the. H. CON. RES. 94 that failed. Notice the "wording."
Whereas it is the necessary duty of the people of this Nation not only to humbly offer up our prayers and needs to Almighty God, but also in a solemn and public manner to confess our shortcomings; Whereas it is incumbent on all public bodies, as well as private persons, to revere and rely on God Almighty for our day-to-day existence, as well as to follow the charge to love and serve one another; Whereas we have witnessed the rejection of God's love through gratuitous violence and mayhem, hate, abuse, exploitation, abandonment, and other harms, much of which has been directed at the most vulnerable of our society, our children; Whereas oppression, violence, cultural and ethnic division, strife, and murder have stained our communities and the world; Whereas we are compelled to remind the people of the United States of the events that currently burden the hearts of the people...
Did you notice the word "hate?" Now let me ask you this. If I stand on a street corner passing out tracts that Scripturally, Historically, and Prophetically prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Roman Catholic Church is the haven of Antichrist incarnate do you suppose I would be arrested for committing a HATE crime?

FUNDAMENTALISTS WRONG ABOUT BIBLE, VATICAN
SAYS
Vatican City (AP)-- A new Vatican document
on how to interpret the Bible condemns the fundamentalist approach of
word-for-word literalism as distorting, dangerous and possibly leading to
racism. --Associated Press
Preaching is now called RACISM by the Vatican? Is it any wonder that soon those of us that have that Rock hard evidence against Rome will be committing HATE crimes by proclaiming Truth? Can this happen? See this...
WHO DECLARED OPEN SEASON ON PUBLIC RELIGIOUS
SPEECH?
It seems to be open season on religious
speech in the public arena. Two weeks ago, a group of religious leaders called
for a "moratorium on religious rhetoric" from presidential candidates, attacking
candidates who shared their personal faith on the campaign trail. A few days
earlier, the FCC issued a ruling discouraging noncommercial educational TV
stations from offering "programming primarily devoted to religious exhortation,
proselytizing, or statements of personally held religious views and
beliefs."
Nevertheless, I find the current hostility to religious evangelism
profoundly disturbing. This includes attacks on the missionary activities of the
much-maligned Southern Baptists. According to The Seattle Times ("Baptists' high
chutzpah," editorial, Sept. 11), which condemned Baptist efforts to convert
Jews, "The Baptists should learn to respect the values and privacy of others." A
group of religious leaders in Chicago has gone further, recently urging Southern
Baptists to cancel plans to send missionaries into their city this coming summer
because seeking to convert others "could contribute to a
climate conducive to hate
crimes."
Nuff said?

American '24-hour society' needs
a Sabbath rest
Christians are
finding ways to observe the Sabbath
(Sunday) in the United States, where
setting aside a day to rest and worship God is a counter-cultural activity.
...Keeping the Sabbath is an important witness in a society that runs at
breakneck speed seven days a week, John Sonnenday, senior pastor of Immanuel
Presbyterian Church in McLean, Va., told
Religion Today. He and 10 members of
his congregation have formed a "Sabbath-keeping group" to encourage each other
to make Sunday a day of
rest.
..."God wrote the Sabbath
into the very order of things. He said things would go better if you observe
it," Jack Lowndes of the Lord's Day
Alliance told Religion Today. His
Atlanta-based ministry publishes a quarterly newsletter for 11,000 subscribers
and has affiliate organizations in South Carolina, Mississippi, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, and Georgia. -by the Editors at ReligionToday.com Aug. 11,

They will be deprived of the right to buy or sell
The following article is a quote
from a Nazarene magazine called Newswatch. In its 1994 November/December issue,
4-5, it read, "The French magazine, Foy et Rai, reported from the United Nations
Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, that plans are worked out to dissolve the
UNO to make way for a World Tribunal. . . . This project and this plan provides
for a total unification of church and state, and also provides for a single
form of worship. The appointed day for all people will be Sunday. The
number received by the people will promise the right to buy or
sell.
"At the end of this statement, a Christian rose and asked the
speaker, 'What happens to the minorities who will not accept this plan?' The
Christian was told, 'Their number will be canceled with a black line and they
will be deprived of the right to buy or sell and will thus be forced to
destruction.' "
EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS: "WE CANNOT LIVE
WITHOUT THE LORD'S DAY"
VATICAN
CITY, SEP 2, 1999 (VIS) - Made public today was a letter from the Holy Father to
Archbishop Giuseppe Chiaretti of Perugia-Citta della Pieve, Italy, for the 4th
Diocesan Eucharistic Congress, which will come to a close on September 19 in
Perugia.
The Pope recalls that "the theme (of the congress), 'We
cannot live without the Lord's day', makes reference to the Apostolic Letter
'Dies Domini' concerning Sundays". He requests "that the faithful of
Perugia-Citta della Pieve intensify with renewed enthusiasm the value and
importance of the Sunday celebration, 'great school of charity, justice and
peace'. May the meeting in prayer with God in the liturgy vitalize their
apostolic commitment, lived with incessant thanksgiving to the Father, who is
rich in mercy".
"It is my heartfelt wish that this Eucharistic Congress
may cause the desire for sanctity to grow within the faithful of the entire
diocese, an indispensable condition for an apostolic commitment capable of
making a mark upon
society. In fact, it is being most fittingly recalled during the various
stages of the congress that, alongside a renewal in methods of pastoral care and
in forms of evangelization, it is first of all necessary to arouse in the entire
Christian community a true fervor for sanctity". JPII-LETTER/EUCHARISTIC
CONGRESS/CHIARETTI
He just keeps pounding away at that breach in the
wall doesn't he? No matter, the children of God will repair this breach made by
the Beast just as prophecy states we will.
Isaiah 58:12-14, "And they
that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the
foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the
breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. If thou turn away thy foot from the
sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight,
the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own
ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt
thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high
places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for
the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."
By the way... that's the
REAL Sabbath being spoken of here. Not the "SUNday" sabbath of
Rome.
"Some people" do say that God changed the day, but you can't find it in the Bible (all eight texts about Sunday keeping NEVER discuss that.) It can be found in history, the Early church changed the day of worship gradually to the pagan sun god worship on Sunday (that is why it is called sun day). This began about 200 or 300 years after the death of Christ. There was a great feeling of anti-Semitism (hatred of the Jews) and no one wanted to be associated with anything Jewish. Also the church wanted to be popular with the majority of pagans. Eventually the Church at the time changed the Sabbath. the following is a letter that asks a question of the Pope:

Dear Sir:
Is the accusation true that
Protestants accuse you of? They say you
changed the Seventh Day Sabbath to the so called Christian
Sunday, identical with the First Day of
the Week. If so, when did you make the change, and by what
authority?
Yours very truly,
J.L.
Day
Reply
Dear Sir:
Regarding the change from the observance of
the Jewish Sabbath to the Christian Sunday. I wish to draw your attention to the
facts:
(1) That Protestants, who accept the
Bible as the only rule of faith and religion, should by all means go back to the
observance of the Sabbath. The fact that they
do not, but on the contrary observe Sunday, stultifies them in
the eyes of every thinking man.
(2) We Catholics do not accept the Bible as the only rule of faith. Besides the Bible, we have the living Church,
the authority of the Church, as a rule to guide us. We say, this Church,
instituted by Christ to teach and guide men through life, has the right to change the Ceremonial laws of the Old
Testament and hence we accept her
change of the Sabbath to
Sunday. We frankly say
"yes, the Church made this change, made
this law, as she made many other laws.
For instance, the Friday Abstinence, the unmarried priesthood, the
laws concerning mixed marriages, the regulation of Catholic marriages and a
thousand other laws.
(3) We also say that of all Protestants, the
Seventh-day Adventists are the only
group that reason correctly and are consistent with their
teachings. It is always somewhat
laughable to see the Protestant Churches, in pulpit and legislature, demand the
observance of Sunday of which there is
nothing in the Bible.
With best
wishes

Catholic Church seeks LAWS to keep SUNday!
"The civil authorities should be urged to cooperate with the church in maintaining and strengthening this public worship of God, and to support with their own authority the regulations set down by the church's pastor. For it is only in this way that the faithful will understand why it is Sunday and not the Sabbath day that we keep holy." -The Roman Catechism 1985
