AN UNPREPARED PEOPLE

She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save the people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21)

The Jewish people had lost sight of their religion, with its useless festivals and customs. […] Subject to the Romans, they were forced to pay tribute. The Jews suffered under their circumstances and awaited the promised Messiah who was to bring the powerful deliverance of their nation, foretold by prophecy. […] They believed that when he came, the Messiah would establish his reign, subdue the oppressor by force of arms, and take the throne of David. If they had studied the prophecies with spiritual insight, they would not have underestimated the prophecies foretelling a first coming in humility, nor misunderstood those concerning the second coming, with glory and power. […] They failed to distinguish between the prophecies that predicted Christ’s first coming and those describing his glorious return. They expected glory and power for his first coming. […]

When the time came, Jesus was born in a stable and laid in a manger, surrounded by animals. His divine glory and majesty were clothed in his humanity, and the angels announced his coming. His birth was celebrated in heaven, while the powerful of this world knew nothing of it. […] They expected a powerful prince who would take the throne of David and whose reign would last forever. Their prideful ideas about the coming of the Messiah did not conform to the prophecies they claimed to explain to the people. […]

The angels descended from heaven to announce the birth of Christ to those whom he had come to bless and save. They knew of his glory in heaven and believed that he would be received on earth with honors worthy of his character and sacred mission. […] The angels saw with astonishment the people’s indifference and ignorance concerning the coming of the Prince of Life.

HI LU

Interesting what say Origen about the Son as the visible YHWH of the Old Testament,

E.G.White largely agrees with Origen and explains why it is not the Father who intervenes in His dealings with humanity.

That I May Know Him

God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19.

All through the pages of sacred history, where the dealings of God with His chosen people are recorded, there are burning traces of the great I AM…. In all these revelations of the divine presence, the glory of God was manifested through Christ. Not alone at the Saviour’s advent, but through all the ages after the fall and the promise of redemption, “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself.” Christ was the foundation and center of the sacrificial system in both the patriarchal and the Jewish age. Since the sin of our first parents, there has been no direct communication between God and man. The Father has given the world into the hands of Christ, that through His mediatorial work He may redeem man, and vindicate the authority and holiness of the law of God. All the communion between heaven and the fallen race has been through Christ. It was the Son of God that gave to our first parents the promise of redemption. It was He who revealed Himself to the patriarchs. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses understood the gospel. They looked for salvation through man’s Substitute and Surety….

The solemn service of the sanctuary typified the grand truths that were to be revealed through successive generations. The cloud of incense ascending with the prayers of Israel represents His righteousness that alone can make the sinner’s prayer acceptable to God; the bleeding victim on the altar of sacrifice testified of a Redeemer to come; and from the holy of holies the visible token of the divine presence shone forth. Thus through age after age of darkness and apostasy, faith was kept alive in the hearts of men until the time came for the advent of the promised Messiah. Jesus was the light of His people,—the light of the world,—before He came to earth in the form of humanity…. From Him has come every ray of heaven’s brightness that has fallen upon the inhabitants of the earth. In the plan of redemption, Christ is the Alpha and the Omega,—the First and the Last.9Patriarchs and Prophets, 366, 367.

Safety in the Rock

 

The rock hyrax is a terrestrial mammal that resembles a guinea pig and is found in Israel. As its name reveals, it lives among rocks in which it can quickly escape from predators. The animals are especially known for using sentries that send out alarm calls from high points if a predator comes close.

Hyraxes (called “conies” or “rock badgers” in the Bible) typically live in groups of 10 to 80. Their ability to regulate body temperature is limited, so their activity is related to seasons and times of day. They are short and squatty with a weight of about nine pounds and a length of almost 20 inches. Their thick fur ranges from a dark brown color to a lighter gray, depending on the climate.

Hyrax herds are often subdivided into smaller groups of 5 to 15, with a dominant male who defends and watches over the group. In Africa they are preyed upon by leopards, cobras, adders, wild dogs, and eagles. Yet in Israel the rock hyrax is rarely preyed upon by terrestrial predators because of their excellent system of sentries. This combined with living among the rocks and crags gives them considerable protection.

The Bible says, “There are four things which are little on the earth, But they are exceedingly wise” (Proverbs 30:24). Besides the ant, locust, and spider, the hyrax is listed: “The rock badgers (hyrax) are a feeble folk, Yet they make their homes in the crags” (v. 26).

If you have ever felt small, take heart! Wisdom has nothing to do with our size or strength. We can learn a few lessons from the rock hyrax. The first is to live for others. Be willing to be a “sentry” and share warnings to those you love. And second, learn to live in the shelter of the Rock. Jesus will protect you from the predator (Satan) who is seeking to take you down.

Hi

GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son. (Galatians 4:4)

Christ came into this world to reveal the Father, to give humanity a true knowledge of God, and to manifest His love. Without the knowledge of God, humanity would be utterly lost. […] Life and strength must be imparted by the One who created the world.

The promise made in Eden—that the offspring of the woman would crush the serpent’s head—was the guarantee of the coming of the Son of God. He alone could impart the knowledge of God.

God promised Abraham: “All the families of the earth shall be blessed in you.” He revealed to him the plan for the redemption of humanity. […] Christ declared: “Abraham your father rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”

Jacob foretold: “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to Him shall be the obedience of the people.”

God spoke face to face with Moses, as with a friend, and gave him indications concerning the Messiah. He told the people: “The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear!”

The offerings and sacrifices foreshadowed the Savior who was to come and be offered for the sins of the world. They heralded a superior ministry, in which God would be worshipped in spirit, in truth, and in holiness.

The Jewish service symbolized atonement for the transgressed law. The sacrificial victim—a lamb without blemish—represented the Redeemer of the world, holy and capable of taking away the sin of the world. David received the promise of Christ’s eternal reign and of the kingdom that would have no end.

The Hebrews lived in expectation, hoping for the promised Messiah. Many died in faith; having not received the promise but having seen it from afar, they believed and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

THE GRÉÂT APOSTASY

 

He has been called the most successful double agent of World War II. Juan Pujol Garcia, known by the British codename Garbo and the German codename Alaric Arabel, was initially turned away by the Allies when offering his services. Originally from Spain, Juan became a successful agent for the Germans, who asked him to travel to Britain. He agreed—but instead he went to Lisbon and created bogus reports for the Nazis.

Eventually, the Allies accepted Pujol. He moved with his family to Britain where he created a network of nearly thirty fictional agents for the Germans. Garbo played a key role in misleading the Germans on the timing and location of the invasion of Normandy in 1944. His fictional spy network was so convincing that his German handlers did not try to recruit additional spies in the United Kingdom.

The devil is like a double agent, for what better way could he bring down God’s church than by corrupting it from within? Jesus warned His disciples of a coming deception: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15).

The apostle Paul was equally direct about a coming apostasy. “I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples” (Acts 20:29, 30). The devil used deceived church leaders who looked like genuine believers, but they led many away from Bible truth.

Garbo successfully mixed truth with error and led the Germans astray. Satan has done this and more—and the Bible predicts that before the end of time Satan will work “with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved” (2 Thessalonians 2:9, 10). But we can spot fictitious reports from Satan if we stand on the Word of God (Matthew 7:24–27).

Have you ever been tricked into believing something that was not true?

Protestant America Awards the Catholic Pope a Liberty Medal on its 250th Anniversary

 

 

On Friday, July 3, 2026, the U.S. National Constitution Center, established by Congress in 1988, awarded the prestigious Liberty Medal to Pope Leo XIV on the eve of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. The public ceremony took place on Independence Mall in Philadelphia, literally steps from Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were debated and signed.

The Pope accepted the award via livestream from the Vatican, thanking the American people and emphasizing interfaith dialogue and the pursuit of common ground as defining pillars of the American experience. Yet these concepts are not the constitutional principles upon which the United States was founded. Rather, they are central themes of modern Roman Catholic social teaching, especially as articulated since the Second Vatican Council. Their purpose is to foster cooperation among the world’s religions by emphasizing a shared belief and common witness while setting aside theological differences in the interest of peace and unity.

America’s founding documents do not establish interfaith dialogue as a national mission, nor do they authorize government to unite religions in pursuit of the common good. Instead, they limit the power of civil government so that religious liberty and freedom of conscience remain outside of governmental control. What Pope Leo XIV is actually doing is revising our history to push the Vatican II agenda of dialogue, fraternity, and the common good and move us away from Protestant constitutional principles and into Rome’s model of church-state unity.

This indeed is a historical and unprecedented event, especially when our Founding Fathers viewed the Pope of Rome with deep suspicion because he was a symbol of the union of church and state and of religious persecution. Many early Americans were Protestants whose families had fled Europe precisely to escape Roman Catholic persecution. The Spanish Inquisition, the Roman Inquisition, the wars of religion, and the enforcement of Catholic tradition by monarchs backed by papal authority were events that were contemporary to our Founding Fathers.

Today, Protestant America has honored the very symbol that the Founding Fathers rejected. And they did it from the very birthplace of this nation. The medal ceremony was held at the very site where the American experiment in limited government and separation of church and state was born. This nation deliberately rejected European models in which a religious authority, whether pope or king, could claim both spiritual and political power.

And to honor the head of the Roman Catholic Church with a “Liberty Medal” on the eve of the 250th anniversary is a profound reversal to what America is supposed to represent. Our nation is literally bestowing honor on the very system many had fled many centuries ago. The Pope hasn’t changed. He is still the embodiment of church-state union. In the Founding Fathers’ minds, the Papacy stood for tyranny. The Pope’s claim to universal authority and temporal power remained deeply problematic to our nation at its founding. In fact, the U.S. Constitution was written to keep any such authority — foreign or domestic — from gaining a foothold in our nation.

A Changed America, Not a Changed Papacy

The contradiction arises because America has changed dramatically since 1776. In today’s pluralistic, post-Vatican II era, the United States can honor the Pope for his so-called advocacy of religious freedom without seeing it as a threat to the republic. The Liberty Medal award cites the Pope’s advocacy for religious liberty, a position the modern Catholic Church has strongly affirmed since the Second Vatican Council’s Dignitatis Humanae in 1965.

The problem, however, is that the American and Roman Catholic understandings of religious liberty are not the same. The United States Declaration of Independence describes our rights as “inalienable,” meaning that they cannot be legitimately taken away, surrendered, or transferred because they come from the Creator rather than from the state. By contrast, Roman Catholic teaching affirms religious freedom, but not as an unrestricted or absolute civil right; Vatican II’s Dignitatis Humanae says religious liberty exists “within due limits,” and the Catechism places rights within the framework of “the common good” and public order. Therefore, the American model emphasizes that rights are absolute and that government exists to protect them, while the Catholic model allows civil authority, in certain cases, to limit individual freedoms in the name of a higher common or moral good.

The current situation reveals one of history’s greatest ironies: America, a nation founded to protect itself from religious establishments, which lead to tyranny, now pays tribute to the leader of one of history’s oldest church-state institutions. In the early days of America, there was a healthy, widespread suspicion against the Pope due to his temporal power. This gesture of bestowing a high honor upon the same Pope—the Medal of Freedom—truly represents one of the greatest ironies of our modern time.

Our Founding Fathers saw the Catholic Church’s hierarchical structure, its claim of papal supremacy over secular rulers, and its history of using state power to suppress “heresy” as completely incompatible with a constitutional republic, religious liberties, and individual conscience. That is why the First Amendment was designed to prevent any church from gaining the kind of privileged and coercive relationship with the state that had existed in Catholic Europe.

Unfortunately, that has all changed today:

“Protestants have tampered with and patronized popery; they have made compromises and concessions which papists themselves are surprised to see and fail to understand. Men are closing their eyes to the real character of Romanism and the dangers to be apprehended from her supremacy. The people need to be aroused to resist the advances of this most dangerous foe to civil and religious liberty” (Great Controversy, p. 566).

THE USA IN BIBLE PROPHECY!!!

At the height of the papacy’s power, its “iron teeth” fell upon Protestant Reformers. WHO PROTESTED THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES UNBIBLICAL TEACHINGS….

Many of those who were not martyred, however, found a means of escape to the New World.

Revelation prophesied this exodus in the symbol of a faithful woman, who represents God’s true church. This woman, “persecuted” (12:13) by the dragon through papal Rome, fled “into the wilderness” during “a time and times and half a time” (v.14), the same 1,260 years of papal supremacy. Thus, the prey escaped the predator, and the most notable republic in the world was born.

In 1776, the United States declared its independence. It established its own rule of law, the Constitution (1787) and the Bill of Rights (1791).

By 1798, simultaneous with the head wound to the Roman Church, the nations of Europe recognized the United States as an independent world power, one built on TWO UNIQUE PRINCIPLES REPRESENTED BY the earth beast’s two-lamb-like horns:
(Rev. 13:11) …
👉REPUBLICANISM, a government without a king, and
👉PROTESTANTISM, a church without a pope.

( The two lamb like horns in verse 13:11 represented the 2 principles America was founded on..)

1) We were a republican Nation ~
we had a constitution 👈
had, had had….👈
and 2) we were blessed by God for being a
👉 Protestant nation)

The United States became the standard bearer of freedom of conscience and embodiment of the separation of church and state–all that the Roman Catholic Church was not.

THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST!!!

But the Bible makes a surprising prediction: AMERICA WILL FALL AWAY FROM ITS FOUNDING PRINCIPLES and advocate for the sea beast,
👉 (Papacy) the very power the Founding Fathers resisted. Revelation 13:12-15 has a few key take aways:

A. The United States forms “an image to the beast”
👉 (Rome)
This is👉 not a statue; rather,
👉”an image”is a “representation” or “RESEMBLANCE.”👈
Hence, an “image of the beast”(v.15) will be a religiopolitical power that look, speaks, and AND ACTS LIKE THE PAPACY!!!

B. The image of the beast will use a combination of deception (v.14) and coercion (v.15) to achieve universal worship of the papacy (vv.12,15).

C. The ultimate power behind the transformation of the United States is the dragon, Satan, who extends his “authority” (v.12) from the sea beast to the earth beast (v.4).
According to the Bible, the United States will one day LOOK, SPEAK, AND ACT LIKE THE PAPACY.

FACT: During the 1,260 years, the little horn “[persecuted] the saints of the Most High” (Daniel 7:25). During this period of papal supremacy, dubbed the Dark Ages, the Catholic Church labeled as heretics those who followed the Word of God over its own doctrines and, sources state, it condemned more than 50 million people to death.

Revelation does not leave the final conflict vague. It presents two women — two churches — standing in complete contrast.

The faithful church is identified as those “who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 12:17. She stands on the Word of God, belongs to Christ, and suffers persecution because she remains faithful to Him.

The harlot church is shown joined to “the kings of the earth,” sitting on a beast “full of names of blasphemy,” and “drunk with the blood of the saints.” Revelation 17:2–6. She rejects God’s commandments, exalts human authority above Scripture, and uses earthly power against the faithful.

Many may think they can remain neutral, refusing to choose a side. But prophecy shows that this issue will come to a head in the mark of the beast crisis, when the commandments of God are brought into direct conflict with the traditions of men.

The final test will reveal where every heart stands: with the seventh-day Sabbath of the Lord, or with Sunday tradition enforced by earthly power.

Those who stand with Christ will suffer persecution. Those who unite with the harlot system will take part in persecuting them.

That is why heaven’s call is so urgent:

“Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.”
Revelation 18:4

This is not merely about a name or profession. It is about allegiance.

Which side are you standing on?

Islam is not the Antichrist.

Daniel 7 does not identify the Antichrist by general opposition to Christianity. It gives specific prophetic markers.

The Antichrist power is the little horn. It rises from the fourth beast, which represents Rome, and comes up among the ten horns, the divisions of Western Rome (Daniel 7:7–8, 24). That means it must arise from within the Roman world, among Rome’s divided kingdoms.

This gives us a very specific historical window.

The ten horns are established after the breakup of Western Rome, commonly marked by AD 476. But Daniel also says the little horn uproots three of those horns. Therefore, the little horn must already be rising before the last of those three opposing powers is removed, which were the Ostrogoths in AD 538.

So the little horn must rise to political prominence after AD 476, but by AD 538.

Islam does not fit that. Islam arose in Arabia in the early seventh century, beginning with Muhammad’s ministry in AD 610 and becoming established as a political-religious power after the Hijrah to Medina in AD 622. That places its rise outside the Roman prophetic setting and after the 476–538 window had already closed.

Daniel also says the little horn would uproot three of the ten horns and would think to change times and law (Daniel 7:8, 24–25). Islam was not part of that prophetic sequence, nor did it claim authority to alter God’s law in the way Daniel describes.

This is the point: the Antichrist is not identified by fear, headlines, or broad religious conflict. It is identified by the prophetic details God gave.

Islam does not fit the place, the timing, or the sequence.

The Roman Catholic Papacy does.

This is not about Muslims as individuals. It is about correctly identifying the prophetic system described in Daniel 7.

Donald Trump Praises Christianity’s “Tremendous” Comeback

 

On May 19, 2026—two days after the “Rededicate 250” event in Washington, D.C.—President Donald Trump announced during a press briefing that religion had increased during the first year of his second presidential term. He also asserted that Christianity is experiencing a “tremendous resurgence.” President Trump claimed that our country was built by religion and founded upon it and declared that, when there is strong religion, there is less crime.

Donald Trump’s full remarks were as follows:

• “I think religion is very important for our country. I think having religion, this country was built largely on religion. If you look, it was built. And when you have strong religion, you have less crime. It’s just the fact, you know, whatever it may be, it’s like, gee, I want to go to heaven, so I’m not going to do this and that. Who knows? But we have a country that was based on religion, and I’m very proud of that.” (Video)

• “And if you look and you see all of the polling, I mean, polling is so fake, but on this it’s not fake. Religion is really going up in the last year. And during that time, I mean, really during the time I first got elected in 2016, it was a much different thing. I’m very proud of that.” (Video)

• “Uh, religion is a good thing. Christianity is a great thing for our country. I mean, so many of the things that we’ve done, the successes that we’ve had, have been based on Christianity and religion. So I’m very proud of that.” (Video)

• “Uh, religion is taking off like our country is taking off. Our country is hotter now than it’s ever been. And I’ll tell you, religion is making a tremendous comeback. You look at churches today; they’re full. You go back to three years. Nobody was going. So we’re very happy with that.” (Video)
Trump’s statements are significant because they reveal the growing belief that national prosperity depends upon a revival of religion in public life. Scripture warns that in the last days there will be a revival of a form of faith within civil power to preserve society and restore national greatness. Revelation 13 describes the union of religious influence with political authority to support and enforce the doctrines of the church.

When the President of the United States begins presenting religion as the solution to America’s problems, we must recognize that the stage is being set for a closer union between church and state. These remarks came only two days after the “Rededicate 250” event in Washington, D.C., where political figures, clergy, and religious influencers openly called for national revival, spiritual renewal, and a return to God as the hope for America’s future. President Trump’s repeated claims that America was “built on religion” and that stronger religion produces less crime are part of a growing Christian nationalist philosophy that seeks to preserve faith through the power and influence of the state.

Unfortunately, government-sponsored religion has never produced genuine righteousness. True Christianity cannot be legislated, enforced, or revived through political movements. Across the political and religious worlds, there are growing calls for America to return to its Christian roots. Tragically, the revival being promoted today is largely ecumenical and nationalistic rather than biblically grounded in truth. These modern revival movements often emphasize unity, patriotism, and the “common good” while avoiding the distinctive biblical truths concerning the commandments of God, the everlasting gospel, the true biblical Sabbath, the mark of the beast, Babylon, and the warning against false worship.

A revival that unites Catholics, Protestants, political leaders, and civil institutions around a national religious worship service on Sunday may produce enthusiasm and outward display, but it does not lead people to obedience to all of God’s commandments. Bible prophecy warns that in the last days the United States will eventually speak “as a dragon” (Revelation 13:11), using its power to support and enforce apostate religious agendas. As these developments continue, God’s people are called to remain faithful to Scripture, uphold liberty of conscience, proclaim the everlasting gospel, and warn the world that true revival is not found in political religion or nationalistic Christianity but in Jesus Christ and obedience to His commandments.

The Push to Advance America’s Religious Revival Through Federal Law Has Begun

 

The first of many federal efforts to strengthen America’s religious identity has begun. Rededicate 250—with its national Sunday worship ceremony and widespread calls for revival—was one major example of religion being elevated at the federal level. But these efforts will not be limited to symbolic religious expressions alone; they will also include calls for federal legislation. In other words, the movement to revive religion through the federal government will increasingly manifest itself through legislative proposals, public acts of worship, and policies designed to promote America’s religious identity in national life.

In conjunction with Rededicate 250, a new federal proposal called the “In God We Trust Act” was announced by Rep. Mary Miller on May 14, 2026, through an official press release. The legislation calls for the national motto, “In God We Trust,” to be prominently displayed in every federal building across America within one year. [1] According to the press release, the bill is being celebrated in direct connection with the Rededicate 250 celebration on May 17, 2026—a nationwide Sunday worship event calling America back to public religion, prayer, worship, and national spiritual renewal.

What makes this event prophetically significant is the growing use of federal power to promote religious identity as part of the United States’ national mission. The federal government is gradually becoming a platform for religious nationalism, in which political leaders, the clergy, and public institutions unite around the idea that the United States must restore faith as a guiding principle of national life.

This represents a drastic shift in the role of government. Historically, the United States Constitution was designed to keep the state neutral in religious matters—neither establishing a religion nor interfering with the free exercise thereof. America’s Founding Fathers understood firsthand that whenever civil power allies itself with religious movements, freedom of conscience ultimately suffers. However, today we are witnessing a growing movement that seeks to redefine the United States as a nation whose political future should be guided by religion and by public acts of worship.

The timing is also revealing. This bill comes just before Rededicate 250, an event already filled with calls for revival, repentance, national worship, miracles, and spiritual renewal. The very movement urging the United States to rededicate itself to God is, in turn, normalizing the idea that the government should publicly promote religion at the national level. According to prophecy, this will ultimately lead to greater cooperation between church and state, as well as increasing support for religious practices.

THE COMING SUNDAY LAW
The Final Test Of Loyalty

Prophecy warns that the final crisis on earth will center around worship, obedience, and God’s authority. Revelation 13 describes a power that appears lamb-like at first, speaking the language of peace, liberty, morality, and unity, yet eventually exercises coercive authority and speaks “as a dragon.” Many students of biblical prophecy understand this power to be America in its prophetic role during the closing events of earth’s history.

What is now being promoted in society as a harmless call for “rest,” “family values,” “national unity,” or even environmental recovery will eventually become something far more serious. The concern is not merely about a day of worship, but about enforced religious observance through civil legislation. History has repeatedly shown that when church and state unite, freedom of conscience is endangered and persecution soon follows.

The Bible declares that a time is coming when economic pressure and legal penalties will be used against those who refuse to conform to false systems of worship. Revelation speaks of restrictions involving buying and selling, showing that the final conflict will extend beyond theology into everyday life. This is why the issue is so solemn. It concerns whether men will obey the commandments of God or submit to human authority in place of divine authority.

The seventh-day Sabbath stands in Scripture as the sign of God’s creatorship and His authority, while man-made religious systems attempt to substitute human tradition in the place of God’s holy law. The coming crisis will reveal where the loyalty of every soul truly rests. Though the world may unite under political and religious pressure, God will still have a faithful people who choose obedience to Him above the decrees of men.

Now is the time to study the Scriptures carefully, seek truth sincerely, and build a personal relationship with Christ before the final test bursts upon the world unexpectedly.

THE CHICK-FIL-A SABBATH RIGHTS VIOLATION

When The Wrong Sabbath Is Protected And The True Sabbath Is Punished

In recent months, a lawsuit involving a Chick-fil-A franchise in Austin, Texas, has quietly revealed a growing issue that reaches far beyond one employee, one restaurant, or one court case. The case centers around a Christian woman named Laurel Torode, a believer who observes the biblical seventh-day Sabbath from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. She was hired with the understanding that her Sabbath convictions would be respected. For several months, the arrangement worked. Then suddenly the accommodation was withdrawn. She was told that if she wished to keep her managerial position, she would have to work during the Sabbath hours God had sanctified. When she refused to violate her conscience, she was pressured to accept a lower-paying position and was eventually terminated.

What makes this matter especially striking is that the business involved is part of a company famous for defending Sunday rest on religious grounds. Chick-fil-A has long been praised for closing its doors on Sunday to allow workers a day of worship and rest. Yet now, a woman seeking protection for obedience to the seventh-day Sabbath finds herself fighting for her job in federal court.

To many, this may appear to be only a labor dispute. But to students of Bible prophecy, it is something far deeper. It is another sign that the world is moving steadily toward the very conflict the Scriptures foretold long ago, a conflict over worship, obedience and the law of God.

The Bible plainly declares which day God sanctified. Genesis 2:2-3 says: “And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 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.” (Genesis 2:2-3)

The fourth commandment is equally clear: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God.” (Exodus 20:8-10)

Yet despite the clarity of Scripture, history reveals a long process through which human pagan tradition gradually replaced the biblical Sabbath with Sunday observance. This change did not come from Christ or the Apostles. No verse in the Bible transfers holiness from the seventh day to the first day of the week. The transition came through false papal church tradition and later through civil enforcement.

History records that in A.D. 321, Roman Emperor Constantine issued the first widespread Sunday law, commanding rest on “the venerable day of the sun.” Over time, church councils strengthened Sunday observance while opposition to seventh-day Sabbath keeping increased. Those who remained faithful to the biblical Sabbath were treated as extremists, rebels, or troublemakers. Throughout the centuries, many Sabbath keepers faced persecution, imprisonment, loss of property and even death because they chose obedience to God above human tradition.

The modern world likes to believe such religious intolerance belongs only to the past. Yet cases like this one reveal that the same spirit still exists beneath the surface. Society is generally willing to defend religious freedom so long as it does not conflict with popular customs, economic interests, or majority religious traditions. But when believers seek protection for the seventh-day Sabbath, resistance appears.

This growing tension is exactly what prophecy warned would happen in the last days. Daniel 7:25 speaks of a power that would attempt to alter God’s divine law: “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.” (Daniel 7:25) The only commandment dealing with sacred time is the Sabbath commandment. Bible prophecy foretold a system that would attempt to change God’s appointed time of worship and persecute those who remained faithful to Him.

The book of Revelation carries this warning even further. Revelation 13 describes a final global crisis centered around worship and enforced obedience. Revelation 13:16-17 says: “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark.” (Revelation 13:16-17) This prophecy points to a coming time when economic pressure and civil power will be used against those who refuse to conform to a false day of worship.

Revelation 14:12 describes God’s faithful people in the final crisis: “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12) Notice that the final remnant are identified by two things: faith in Jesus and obedience to the Commandments of God.

Ask yourself, which of the Ten Commandments that major religious and political powers disregard, is it murder, is it lying or is it the Seventh-day Sabbath.

What makes the Chick-fil-A case so revealing is the contradiction it exposes. Under their religious liberty laws, society readily respects and legally protects Sunday observance because it aligns with majority religious culture. Yet when believers ask for accommodation to keep the seventh-day Sabbath established by God Himself, they are treated as inconvenient burdens on the system. This reveals a bias reality: not all religious convictions are treated equally. As foretold in Bible prophecy.

The prophet Isaiah warned of a time when truth would fall in the streets and justice would become distorted. Isaiah 59:14 says: “And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” (Isaiah 59:14)

As the world moves closer to the end, the divide between God’s Commandments and human religious systems will become increasingly visible. Economic pressure, workplace discrimination, social hostility, and eventually legal enforcement will test the conscience of God’s people. Yet Scripture gives hope to those who remain faithful. Jesus said: “And ye (Sabbath Keepers) shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” (Matthew 10:22)

Cases like this are reminders that prophecy is not theory. The foundations for future persecution are already appearing quietly within modern society.

The issue before the world is the same question asked long ago by Elijah on Mount Carmel: “How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him.” (1 Kings 18:21) Soon every soul will have to decide whom they will obey.

[Revelation 12:17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman (God’s Sabbath Keeping Church), and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the Commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

There’s a difference between what Daniel 2:21 says and saying that Trump is some kind of “Cyrus”.

[Berean]

On April 9, 2026, two days after meeting with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican to ease tensions between U.S. President Donald Trump and the Pope, Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a video discussing Catholicism’s role in shaping America ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary at the The Catholic University of America’s Center for the Constitution and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition. [1] Unfortunately, Rubio is reinterpreting historical events and fundamentally reshaping the identity of the United States by portraying the nation’s founding and political philosophy as being rooted in Catholic tradition and theology.

Rubio claims that the purpose of America’s system of government seeks to promote the “common good,” a phrase closely linked to Catholic social doctrine. He has also argued that America’s founding principles come from the same tradition that produced the magnificent cathedrals of Rome and are rooted in the teachings of influential Catholic theologians such as Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. In Rubio’s view, America represents the fulfillment of the hopes and dreams of the Old World, and he has even described the United States as one of the strongest examples of the lasting influence of the Catholic faith on society and public life.

Marco Rubio claimed that Pope Leo XIII believed America was destined for greatness and expressed his desire that the Catholic Church would “help bring about” that greatness. But that reflects Rome’s vision for America—not the vision established by the U.S. Constitution. Rubio has embraced and promoted a Catholicized interpretation of American history, arguing that America’s political system belongs to the same intellectual tradition that produced “the towering cathedrals of Rome” and the philosophy of Augustine and Aquinas.

He further described America as a place where “the Church and the civilization it created were reborn.” Yet this is historical revisionism. America’s founding documents were not written to enthrone Rome, Augustine, Aquinas, or Catholic social doctrine. They were written to limit government power, protect liberty of conscience, prohibit religious tests for public office, and forbid Congress from establishing religion—principles that historically stood in direct opposition to the religious-political system supported by the Roman Papacy.

Rubio’s appeal to the “common good” may sound harmless, but in Catholic political theology that phrase is often tied to a vision in which civil government is expected to promote moral and religious order. That is the danger. Once the state begins defining the “common good” through religious doctrine, liberty of conscience becomes threatened. America is not the fulfillment of Rome’s dreams. America was founded, in part, as a rejection of Old World Papal religious tyranny. The Constitution does not create a Catholic nation, a Protestant nation, or any church-state system. It creates a civil government that must not impose religious belief or worship by law.

And while Marco Rubio emphasizes Catholic suffering in early America, he entirely ignores Rome’s own bloody history on the shores of the United States in Jacksonville, FL. In 1565, Spanish Catholic forces destroyed the French Protestant settlement at Fort Caroline—located in present-day Jacksonville—and massacred French Huguenots in the events surrounding what later became known as the Matanzas Massacre. The National Park Service describes these events as the Catholic massacre of French Protestants in the present-day United States, which helped establish Rome’s control over Florida. [1] That history cannot simply be ignored while Rubio portrays Catholics solely as victims.

So the issue is not whether Catholics have lived, served, or contributed in America. They have. The issue is whether America’s founding story is now being revised to make Rome appear as the spiritual mother of the Republic. That claim is false, dangerous, and prophetic. America’s greatness was never built on submission to Rome but on the God-given principle that no earthly power has the right to command the conscience.

American history is being rewritten before our very eyes. Modern Catholic politicians and revisionist voices are presenting a polished and sanitized version of the United States—one that portrays America as a Catholic nation founded upon Catholic principles and destined to fulfill Rome’s vision. This narrative must be challenged, and true history must remain our teacher so that the dangers and abuses of the past are neither forgotten nor repeated.

Why Some Believe He Was Sent for the End Times ?

They do not understand the meaning of the end-times prophecy, particularly Daniel 2 and 7 and Revelation 12, 13, 14, and 17, among others.

Therefore, they follow false prophets who tell them things that lead them astray from what God wants them to know for their salvation.

11] And I beheld 👉another beast coming up out of the earth👈; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake like a dragon.
[12] And👉 he exerciseth all the power of the first beast👈 before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

@Proclaimer

Tell me, what is this beast THAT COMES UP FROM THE SEA?
This is very important to know because IT IS WRITTEN ABOUT 👉 THE OTHER BEAST THAT RISES FROM THE EARTH AFTER THE ONE THAT RISES FROM THE SEA:

👇

HE exercised all the power of👉 the first beast👈 before him
and 👉causeth the earth and those who dwell therein👉 to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.👈
