The Ten Suggestions?
...or wait, were they "Ten Commandments?" A cute billboard placed around the country cutely suggests that God placed the cute billboards, and He supposedly states: "I didn't call them the Ten Suggestions." Another one, also purportedly from God, invites you to visit Him in His "house" on Sunday. Suggesting, of course, that "Sunday" is the Sabbath, as in God's Sabbath; that would be the Biblical Sabbath. As in: from the Bible.
Of course for years many Christians, and many more christians-so-called have argued that they changed God's Sabbath to their own Sabbath, choosing Sunday, since it was first the holy day of the pagans in honor of the sun, and secondly, distantly secondly, because Jesus was not found in the tomb early Sunday morning.
Tradition versus the Bible. That has always been the way of it, both with Christians and christians-so-called. Both groups have mixed it, sometimes gravitating toward the Bible, but generally "standing on the shoulders of giants" (they claim), almost worshipping tradition. But now the "christians-so-called are in ascendance.
It is happening, right now. But it is not a recent thing. Other countries, traditionally those heavily influenced by the Catholic Church, have been swapping days for hundreds of years. Russia, in its ultra-religious days, swapped the days so that Monday is considered the first day of the week, making Sunday the seventh day (in this way they could claim that Sunday was the Biblical Sabbath), and of course the same thing happened in Italy long before it occured in Russia.
The culture in America has been gearing up for the big swaperoo for over fifty years. Ask someone under the age of 21 what the first day of the week is, and you might be surprised when they tell you, with some authority, that it is indeed MONDAY.
I stumbled across a christian-so-called website where they were arguing about the Sabbath. And one of the favored posters was claiming, with some authority, that people have been arguing about the Sabbath for a long time, that some claim it is the Seventh day, while others claim it is the SIXTH day. It opened my eyes. Wide. I found it shocking, about as shocking as when my eyes fell on the mangled days of the week on my daughter's homeschooling calendar.
This christian-so-called was, with some authority, just outright openly stating that Sunday is the seventh day, and that God's Sabbath is actually the sixth day, only, of course, this christian-so-called was claiming that Sunday is God's Sabbath! This was found on a christian-so-called website. Scary stuff. But real.
(If you don't know what I'm talking about, you are already in a lot of trouble, and it is probably too late for you to WAKE UP and smell the burning coffee. If you read the Bible, the christians-so-called will call YOU a cult member, but if you don't know what I'm talking about, you haven't read the Bible, and thus you are now calling ME a cult member because I have read the Bible. Imagine that. In this day and age, to be labeled as a cultist, all you have to do is READ the Bible. The christians-so-called merely THUMP their Bibles, they have never actually read them.)
But I have found that most people who outright claim that Sunday is the Sabbath, generally state: "It is MY Sabbath!" I don't think I've ever heard either a Christian or a christian-so-called call Sunday "God's Sabbath," although they do sometimes mistakenly refer to it as "The Lord's Day" (Christians out of ignorance, and christians-so-called out of arrogance).
But with authority, they make claims about THEIR days. Their leaders claim that the Disciples and Apostles and later the earliest of Christians, and later still the "church fathers" changed the day. These are GREAT WORDS. Powerful words, I mean these words actually go against the Most High and His Holy Day, His order of the week, His Laws:
And he shall speak great words against the
Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the
Most High, and think to change times and laws:
and they shall be given into his hand until a time
and times and the dividing of time.
Daniel 7:25
It is happening. Right now. They are thinking they have the ability, and the "authority" (you will see, as the word "authority" becomes more loud in their mouths, as they speak great words against the Most High).
All of this means nothing to most people. Who cares which day is the first, and which days is the seventh? Even in Traditional Christianity, a vast number of clergy state: "God was just setting a standard for work six days, and take one day off, and you can choose any day as your Sabbath."
That is like stating that when God says: "Do not commit adultery," He really meant that it is just a standard of being faithful to one woman. Sleep with as many as you choose, only be faithful to one (preferably your wife). But then of course, you are not being faithful at all, to any of them, are you? You screw up the meaning of the word "adultery" (like Bill Clinton bobbling the words "is" and what it really means!) (funny to use Bill Clinton in an example referring to adultery, isn't it?).
God says: "Remember the Seventh Day." And clergy change it to "Remember one day in seven, it is your choice which one day you remember." We can almost hear Bill Clinton grinning and laughing: "It all depends on what the word remember means! You can define it a million ways, one of which is FORGET!"
Even the cheesiest of the TV "preachers" attempt to employ the Ten Commandments in their bizarrely twisted "gospels," all the while claiming that although you are DAMNED for breaking the Ten Commandments, that you are a lying, cheating, stealing, blaspheming Sabbath breaker, if you do a little dance, make a little love, and get down to night with a few magic words, you won't be in trouble for breaking all those Commandments, in fact, you will be FREE of the Commandments of God.
Jesus says: "If you love Me, you will keep My Commandments!" But christians-so-call answer Him with a hearty: "We ain't undah de law!"
Christians-so-called love to query: "Hmmm, what would Jesus do?" And then they will slap you in the face if you inform them that it was the custom of Jesus to go to the synagogue on Sabbath (the seventh day of the week, what we know as Saturday). We didn't mean what would Jesus do if He were REAL, we meant our imaginary Jesus! The one that would drive a pink Cadillac and bow down to Kirk Cameron.
There is an old emotion-pump sermon that works people up into a frenzy, when the phrase: "Sunday is comin'" is reapeated over and over and over again. Sunday is uh-Comin'! Yassum.
It is right around the corner. Happy days will soon be here again.
Wrong. Sunday is here. Today.
When Jesus claimed He did not come to destroy or change in any part the Law of God, the christians-so-called claim: Sure He did, He whacked them good, they is gone, boy, and boy howdy.
Will you Remember the Sabbath Day, the Sabbath of Creation? The Sabbath of Jesus? The Sabbath of the Apostle Paul? The same old Sabbath that God declared His Own Holy Day?
Or will THEY sucker you? Will you buy it, that Monday is the first day of the week? The Russians have, and so the Italians. What about you, will you challenge God Himself?
The beast that is "like a lamb," he is now ready to make himself known. Working in secret, just behind the scenes, he is now ready to reveal himself, with the voice of the dragon. He is now ready to wear out the saints of the Most High. His greatest deed will be to replace the "Day of the Son" with his new and improved "Day of the Sun." It is close, isn't it? But no proverbial cigar. The beast that is like a lamb with the voice of a dragon will seek to change times and laws.
He is already doing it. Sunday is here.
