Protestants are now joining with Papists to seek legislation to enforce Sunday Worship. They think thus to win favor from God and weld the Christian world together. But no where has God sanctioned Sunday as a day of rest! The Seventh Day is God's Holy Rest Day and He has never changed it! Man has no right to tamper with God's Holy Law! And much less to seek to force all to disobey it and exalt a false sabbath!
"The Constitution of the United States guarantees liberty of conscience. Nothing is dearer or more fundamental. Pope Pius IX., in his Encyclical Letter of August 15, 1854, said: 'The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience, are a most pestilential error--a pest, of all others, most to be dreaded in a State.' The same pope, in his Encyclical Letter of December 8, 1864, anathematized 'those who assert the liberty of conscience and of religious worship,' also 'all such as maintain that the church may not employ force.'
While Rome claims the right to use force to compel the conscience, God has forbidden any such thing! God does not force the will of His creatures. He can not accept an homage that is not willingly and intelligently given. The blood of honest, Bible believing Christians flowed like a river through the history of the Dark Ages and the most heart-sickening atrocities took place when the church held controlling power over the civil governments! America was built on the principle of separation of church and state as the founding fathers had fled from cruel persecution to build a nation on the principles of liberty of conscience.
Prophecy describes the use of civil force by the church as spiritual adultery and refers to churches who seek this as harlots! Jesus said that His Kingdom was not of this world. And when his disciples wanted to bring fire down from heave to punish the people who rejected Jesus, He warned them: "Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." Luke 9:55, 56
It was the separation of church and state--Freedom to worship according to the dictate of conscience, that made America the mighty nation she became; the 'Glorious Country' of prophecy. When she repudiates these principles--she will pull the foundation out from under herself!
With rapid steps we are approaching this period. When Protestant churches shall unite with the secular power to sustain a false religion, for opposing which their ancestors endured the fiercest persecution, then will the papal sabbath be enforced by the combined authority of church and state. There will be a national apostasy, which will end only in national ruin.
When the state shall use its power to enforce the decrees and sustain the institutions of the church--then will Protestant America have formed an Image to the Papacy, and there will be national apostasy which will end only in national ruin.
There is a prophetic warning--the most terrible--in the Bible that refers to this very situation. When our loving Heavenly Father makes such a warning as this--all of us need to understand this issues behind it so as not to be found on the wrong side!
"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: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." Revelation 14:9-11
Everyone owes it to himself to KNOW the FACTS involved in these plans now afoot, so as not to be swept along with something that will sound good; even necessary; but yet is the very plan of Hell!
The Only Safe Place to Be!
Psalm 91
1. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
