Currently about 2.5 billion Christians in this world right now. The end is coming soon and my guess is that the majority will receive the Mark of the Beast, and be happy about it. They will follow Rome (the Antichrist power) to their eternal graves, believing Satan’s many lies (PTR, OSAS, you don’t have to keep God’s commandments or you can’t, literal Israel, etc...).
It has always been about obedience to God by following His commandments to show your love for Him, and loyalty to Him (that is the whole duty of man). I wonder what will be going through their minds (people who have heard the truth but still refuse to listen) when they have to make the choice of following God’s commandments and the keeping of the 7th day Sabbath, and losing everything worldly (or death), or following Rome, after they have heard it over and over again from people like us? Probably feelings of terror. Will they make the right decision? Or, will they follow the crowd of Commandment Breakers, waiting for the non-existent PTR, take the Mark of the Beast and be forever lost as they enter the plagues and prepare to meet their Creator?
Yep. God was serious about his holy law from Genesis to Revelation. Jesus said he “made the Sabbath for man” and it was made in Genesis. He calls it HIS holy day. Jesus said he was Lord of the Sabbath and risked his entire mission to uphold it and show it’s true meaning.
After Sunday crept into the church about well after the apostolic church, Christians kept Sunday out of ignorance.....and I believe God honored that. But he has progressively led the church out of the darkness of the church of the dark ages which buried truth and including her claim to have the authority to change the holy day. So we will see the Sabbath breach being repaired and Revelation says there will be a “remnant who keep the commandments of God”....
New covenant dispensationalism, Pretrib rapture is a great idea......the problem is....it’s not taught in the Bible. And like dominoes everything falls that follows it. From people thinking Russia is God and Magog and people looking at Israel, as if they have any relevance to prophecy anymore..which they don’t....to the antinomianism that says....we aren’t under the “law”.....but of course they really mean just the Sabbath. They believe in the 9 commandments. They don’t even keep Sunday anymore and look at society? God knew we needed the day of rest.....a whole day. IN fact the Sabbath is the one unique characteristic of God’s people. It’s in the heart of the moral law, the Ten Commandments which John the Revelator saw in Revelation. The Tabernacle of the Testimony.
The good news is that more and more people are accepting the Sabbath. It’s an end time issue a great issue and will be the most controverted issue between those who get the mark of the beast and those who get the seal of God.....his Sabbath. Nothing makes an devout evangelical angrier then the Sabbath because it convicts them.
They have no way out of it and twisting, bending, wrestling a few verses here and there out of context...doesn’t change a thing. Jesus said NOT ONE JOT OR TITTLE until heaven and earth pass away. And heaven is never passing away. In Isaiah we read that all flesh will come to worship me “from Sabbath to Sabbath” and people say.....”oh that’s the old testament” and I say...yeah, the only Bible Jesus ever had was the old testament.
I’m sorry they confuse literal Israel with spiritual Israel that is the root of their error. It all goes downhill from there.
Sabbath blessings....:)
