But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day,
and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of
Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the
gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and
it shall not be quenched.
BUT…WHY THE SABBATH?

Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between
me and them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD that

between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD
your God.

hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I
have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left
thy first love.

HOW DARE HIM [BEAST] CHANGE
GOD’S TIMES AND LAW?
Does the Roman Catholic church claim to change
God’s Law?
- September 1, 1923, the catholic record: “Sunday is
our mark of authority” “The church is above the
bible; and this transference is proof of that fact.”
- Translated from Lucius Ferraris, prompta bibliotheca
(ready library), “ papa,” art. 2.
“The pope is of so great authority and power that he
can modify, explain, or interpret even divine
laws...the pope can modify law, since his power is
not of man, but of God, and he acts as vicegerent
[deputy/magistrate with delegated power] of God
upon earth.”
Catechism of the council of Trent (Donovan's
translation, 1867), part 3, chap. 4, p. 345
“It pleased the church of God, that the religious
celebration of the Sabbath day should be transferred to
‘the lord’s day.”
-Council of Trent: McHugh and Callan Translation (1937
ed.), p. 402. “Question. How prove you that the church
hath power to command feasts and holydays? “Answer.
By the very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday,
which protestants allow of; and therefore they fondly
contradict themselves, by keeping Sunday strictly,
and breaking most other feasts commanded by the
same church.”
