Chick-Fil-A To Open on Sundays
Garden & Gun ^ | April 1, 2016 | Jessica Mischner

Posted on 04/01/2016 7:53:19 AM PDT by stylecouncilor

This morning, a high-ranking Chick-Fil-A employee leaked the news to a small group of bloggers that the restaurant will soon open seven days a week. (Silent scream!) Historically, the famed Southern chicken chain has adamantly refused to open on Sundays, citing a conflict with its Christian values, but widespread customer demand, impending expansion plans, and a still-flagging economy have caused executives to reconsider that policy. “Our customers have been asking for this for a long time, and we just can’t say no any longer,” the source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, explained. The expanded hours will apply to each of the company’s 1,546 locations.

In addition to a special Sunday menu featuring new options like chicken and waffles and a brunch buffet (biscuits after 10:30AM!), each Chick-Fil-A location will offer a nondenominational worship service, as well. “We want to cater to the before, during, and after church crowd,” the source explained. No additional details have been released, and a press spokesperson refused to comment. For more news on this developing story, check back . . . next April Fool's Day.

Elderly mother of an acquaintance of mine lives just outside London. He has lived in Texas for almost twenty years and just returned from spending a month with his mom over there. First time he has been back in three years. Said he told her it would be the last time he saw her until they meet in Heaven as it is the last time he will ever go there. Spent the rest of the evening telling horror stories. He also feels that the same environment already exist in parts of the U.S. but people here are incredibly naive.

I know this is likely a ruse, however, I'll continue with my first thought.

I lived in Fairfield, Ohio from 1987 to 1994 - northern suburb of Cincinnati. There was a regional department store named Swallen's. This is the path they followed ...

Maybe a dozen stores around the region started decades earlier by the father. The stores were always closed on Sunday to allow employees time with their family and worship.

The father died, leaving the operation to a couple of sons.

The SOBs (Sons of the Boss) quickly decided that they needed to expand their hours by opening their doors on Sunday.

All the doors were permanently shut within a short period of time - maybe a year or so later.

I’m still trying to figure what you are saying. The 7th day of the week has always been Saturday. The day of rest from labor. Ezekiel 46:1 speaks of a Tabernacle to be built in the future. The verse says it will only be opened Saturday, the real Sabbath, and the New Moons. The Jews have always observed Saturday as the Sabbath. Frankly, the Muslims observe whatever Satan says so who gives a hoot, and the Christians moved the Sabbath to Sunday, the first day of the week by man’s decree, not God’s. That’s was the whole point of my post. God’s Sabbath is Saturday and always has been. I don’t get what Ezekiel has to do with the subject.

quote-I’m still trying to figure what you are saying. The 7th day of the week has always been Saturday.

When one uses a counterfeit calendar, they will never get to Truth. What you will read hear cannot be taught in a Mosque, temple/Synagogue or a church. Nor can any school teach it. It is not a worldly teaching. But it has ramifications for the entire world and will place this world and its systems in its proper satanic place..

Ezekiel 46:1 details 3, not 2, types of Days on the Father’s calendar.

A New Moon Day is not 1 of the 6 Working Days, nor is it the 7th Day Sabbath.
So what is it?

In Scripture, It is the first day of every month.
That first day was the day the Tabernacle was erected. It was a worship day. But it wasn’t the Sabbath. If you have a concordance, the bible is not silent on New Moon(s) Days. We can learn a lot from the Scriptures about what happened on New Moon Days. And Amos 8:5 can tell us markets were closed and in other places banquets were held. What is really interesting, is that the satanic calendar the world uses ignores New Moon Days. Why? You will see why and it has to do with Creation and Redemption.

1 New Moon Day begins the months. Then what?
well, the rest of the verse says there are 6 working Days and then the 7th Day Sabbath.

1 New Moon Day- gate opened
6 Working Days- gate closed
1 Sabbath Day- gate opened.

I am YHWH- I change not. Malachi 3:6

1+6+1 no matter how we look at it doesn’t equal 7.

Would it shock someone to know that the Savior of the World was born on a New Moon Day?
A day when the sun clothed the woman and the moon was under her feet? Revelation 12:1

That was a celestial event on September 26 2014 and October 14 2015. It is scheduled to happen again in early October in 2016.
So what does that sign represent? It represents the end of a New Moon Day, the 1st day of the month. A day that comes after the first visible crescent (like what those Muslims you think so highly about look for every month)

Wait, what? Muslims and Jews and even some Christians seek out the first visible crescent every month? And that first crescent was seen on September 23rd in 2014 and October 13th 2015. The day Before the moon traveled down to the woman’s feet.

In 2014, that sign was close to Judaism’s Rosh Hashanah- Which they mess up because they don’t have the Son.

In 2015, that sign was mid month October and probably only Muslims (and folks like me) paid attention to it- I repeat, Muslims were probably some of the only ones who paid much mind to it.. and they don’t know the significance yet.

So that sign appeared in two different pope gregory months in two different years. what does that mean?

Well, the sign has represented the first day of the 7th month (in scripture that is Day of Trumpets-Rosh Hashanah) in 2014 and the sign represented the first day of the 8th month in 2015.

Judaism did not observe Rosh Hashanah on that day in 2014, which is why Scripture says those who don’t have the Son, do not have the Father. They missed it. And they miss a lot. Because they are as worldly as any..

In Science, we can know that those signs up there have appeared to have moved respective to the earth.

And 2000 years ago, that sign of the woman clothed in the sun and the moon under her feet wouldn’t show up for the 1st day of His 7th or 8th months, but for His 6th and 7th months (in years that have an extra month added due to the sun and moon having to catch up to each other)

So, it could be said that the Redeemer of all was born on the 1st Day of the Father’s 6th month. And that would equate to an ‘August/Early September birth) a summer month and NOWHERE near December 25.

Why is the Son being born on a New Moon Day a big deal?
Well, When we apply that knowledge to how He sets up His calendar (1+6+1) we see that the ‘8th’ Day when the boy is to be circumcised, it is actually the weekly 7th Day Sabbath!

So, the Word made flesh born on an appointed Day He taught Israel to worship, close the shops down (like what happens on December 25) and have banquets and feasts.
But not just once a year, but every month! Every month a commemoration of the Son of God being born into the world, but yet the Son there at the beginning (big hint to pay attention to)

The Father, to tell time, uses the sun, moon and stars. And it is quite a clock and tells quite a story
That is what Genesis 1:14 states.

When the satanic world only uses the sun to tell time, they are ignoring a rather important piece to the Creator’s clock.
And can fall into lies and falsehoods and false premises that will never get to Truth.

So, Creation and His Word confirms the Word became flesh on a New Moon Day. He was then circumcised on another appointed day, the weekly Sabbath.

Could there be more appointed Days He taught Israel that the Son would fulfill literally in His life, death and Resurrection?

Every one, in fact.

40 days after His birth, He was to be presented in the temple in Jerusalem.
Some quick math. 40 days from the 1st day of His 6th month, a New Moon Day, is the 10th day of His 7th month.

the Day of Atonement according to Scripture!
A most holy Sabbath. And if you notice the calendar pattern, two days after the 8th Day of His month which would be a weekly Sabbath. He gives Israel a full day, the 9th day, to prepare for the fast that is required on the 9th at evening to the 10th at evening.

Three major life events in the Word made flesh and they land on 3 Appointed Moeds (which is that word Season that is found in Genesis 1:14- It isn’t winter, spring, summer and fall like I used to think, but it is holy appointment times, tent of meeting events, solemn feasts, etc)

And the hits keep coming.

The Word made flesh was baptized on His 30th birthday, a New Moon Day!
He was then led into the wilderness for 40 days (just like the purification of His blessed mother at His birth) and began His ministry on the Day of Atonement.

and 3 1/2 years later (42 months or 1,260 days) He laid His life down as the Lamb for our sins on the 14th Day of the 1st month (keep the 14th in mind), the Feast of Passover.

He was buried. (And laid in the tomb on the first day of Unleavened Bread- the 15th Day of the 1st month, commanded to be a Sabbath- If one understands the Father’s calendar, it is not just an annual Sabbath But the WEEKLY 7th Day Sabbath- and always is in every one of His months, According to Ezekiel 46:1- that pattern is seen in His 7th month and in the 2nd month when Manna came the day after the 15th- and continued for 6 work days (16-21) and then the weekly Sabbath on the 22nd- Which is why there is also a Sabbath recorded on the 22nd Day of the 7th month- Just confirms His calendar but Judaiam and Christianity and Islam has no clue!)

And was raised the 3rd day- The 3rd Day is the 16th Day of the 1st month. Which is the day after the weekly Sabbath. the 16th day is the 1st day of the work week of the 3rd week.
It is also the Day in Leviticus 23 that the wave sheaf of the First Fruits was to be waved-

Which is why Paul says Christ is our Passover (14th) and Unleavened Bread (15th) and First Fruits to those who have fallen asleep (16th)

big question Judaims and Christianity have to answer-
When Passover (14th) lands on a pope gregory Monday, what does that mean?

Well, the answer for Christianity it clear- Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Sunday.

But Creation and Scripture can prove that the Father and Son finished the work of Creation on the 7th day- Genesis 2:2 nd finished the work of Redemption on the 14th day.

1 New Moon Day
1st- Let there be Light
2nd- Firmamement
3rd- Seas gathered together/ Land appears- vegetation
4th- Sun, moon, stars
5th- creatures of the sea and birds of the heavens
6th- all other creatures and man in their image
1 New Moon day + 6 Work Days= 7 days.

on the 7th Day, God ‘finished’ the work.

Each one of the Father’s months has a 7th day of the month (6th and final work day) and a 7th Day Sabbath (the 8th day of the month)

So the work of Creation and Redemption were finished on the last work days of the 1st and 2nd week respectively, which according to the template in Ezekiel 46:1, is the 7th and 14th days of His month.

Which is why the 8th day is a Sabbath in Scripture.
And why the 15th day is a Sabbath in Scripture
and why the 22nd day is a Sabbath in Scripture

All because the satanic world ignores the New Moon Day.
Which is a day that not only commemorates the birth of the World made flesh every month, but what occured Before He spoke and said let there be Light. And the heavens and earth were created BEFORE His first Day.

Which is a mystery of what happened to them to make them waste and void, but it is commemorated each month. And the Son was there from the beginning.

That is a totally different way to see the Father, Son and time, and yet, His Creation and Word can show a pattern that the satanic world, even the judeo christian world, can see or teach.

Prophetic indeed that times and laws would change.

May He bless your journey to Truth!

small correction chuckles. September 26 2014 was the first day of His 7th month.

so, September 25 2014 was the day(actualy near the sunset) the first crescent was seen. And if you still have a 2014 calendar somewhere, Rosh Hashanah was on September 24. So Judaism started their observation of His 1st day of the 7th month a day (really 2) before His Creation and His Word says.

When Judaism misses the beginning of the month, they will also miss the 10th day of the 7th month, which they argue is the most holy day on the calendar.

When the Father says rest and worship, they will be working. And when the Father says work, people will be resting and worshipping.

Which is exactly how satan works. counterfeits and lies. desiring to be like the Most High and in Isaiah 14:13-But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of Congregation (same Word used as Seasons in Genesis 1:14 that I discussed earlier when discussing the appointed times, tent of meeting, solemn feasts-Moed Strongs #4150) In the recesses of the north.

It is amazing to observe it and see how far off people of faith are, causing them division and arguments and fights over doctrines when they could be united in Truth- but one must be led out of the world first to see it. And that work is done by our Creator and Redeemer. And the Kingdom will be all about His Truth. and His Kingdom has a pattern that matches Ezekiel 46:1 perfectly.

This world is subtle with its lies and traditions that rob and steal glory and worship due our Creator and Redeemer..

What day is it?
a far more deceptive question than it appears.

And the Scriptural answer isn’t found on the pope gregory calendar.
And that may be the most subtle way satan deceives the whole world (Revelation 12:9)

HalleluYah!

Sorry for the confusion if you looked back at a 2014 calendar before you read this part!

Blessings!

What hubris.

Nothing like telling Jews they have their own calendar wrong, what Rosh Chodesh and moladot and Kiddush Levanah are about, and when their Sabbath and observances occur!

Only Judaism uses both the luminaries correctly. That’s why the recent lunar tetrad, across three Jewish years, fell exactly on Pesach, Succot, Pesach, Succot. Nothing like that will ever happen with an Islamic calendar or a Christian calendar - even with moving things around - ‘movable feasts.’

1 John 2:2322Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 23Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

You can believe Judaism has the fullness of Truth and their Sabbath correct.

But Scripture shows they don’t. One little bible verse destroys the calendar the world uses and Judaism is no different. I could argue Islam and Judaism reject the Son but accept the false gospel narrative of Rome that they pattern their work and worship from (Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday, the gospel according to Rome’s catechism and calendar, isn’t the gospel Paul taught, according to Scripture (Passover-14th, Unleavened Bread-15th and First Fruits-15th)

Judaism is blind to why Passover is always the 6th Day of the 2nd week in the Father’s calendar. Even if it lands on a pope gregory calendar- I am YHWH, I change not. Malachi 3:6

Because of judaism’s reliance on a Roman calendar to set the Father’s Sabbaths, they actually blind themselves to awesome Truth. and sadly, Christianity is also blind to it, accepting the false premise that the Son died on some false day that is only found in Rome’s catechism, and not according to the Scriptures.

The blindness can be explained with their reliance on a false calendar. The pope gregory calendar isn’t a biblical calendar and THAT is the calendar Judaism accepts as gospel.

If a jew or a christian or a muslim can explain to me why a New moon Day in Ezekiel 46:1 is not one of the Father’s 6 working days or the Father’s Sabbath, I would welcome their opinion. His Word explains it, and the Son’s life confirms it.

No matter how you look at it, 1+6+1 is how the Father set up His calendar at the beginning of every month.

and when one understands the Son (which Judaism doesn’t have) was born on one of those New Moon Days (which Judaism pays no attention to anymore, except for the one in the 7th month, and they miss that, thanks to the hints given in the book of Revelation(another book Judaism doesn’t have) , they may see how Judaism is no less deceived then Christianity and Islam is with their own traditions..
Judaism and Christianity have no clue that the Father’s Feasts of Unleavened Bread, Weeks and Tabernacles, all fall on natural 7 Day weekly Sabbaths. The Father’s calendar proves that. It’s why Judaism has fallen for the Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday false gospel instead of the genuine gospel Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits.

It’s why December 25 can be proven to be false for their Jesus to be born. Same with January 1st that Rome treats as the day their Jesus was circumcised. and February 2nd as the day their Jesus was presented in the temple- that is Rome’s counterfeits that can be proven false with His Scripture and His calendar.

Christianity would be blessed to know. But they won’t see it until they realize they too follow a counterfeit calendar.

People can research and see the first Protestant Reformers had no problem calling the papacy ‘the seat of antichrist’, and the popes, antichrist. and that was before the world worked and worshipped from a roman calendar named after a pope (the same calendar that is being used today)

I wonder if there were any of those first Protestant reformers around today, if they would call the world’s calendar today antichrist calendar.

Considering people have heard much about antichrists, not sure the protestants want to ask whether they follow antichrist this day while they are still here and not raptured.

Not too many protestant realize how duped they are and Judaism and Islam have little clue either.

But again, today is a day honoring some false god name woden.
On the Father’s calendar, it is His 6th day, the 28th day of His month. A day that commemorates Him creating the creatures that moved about the earth and man in His image.

What did Woden do to deserve a day? Or Thor tomorrow?

The hubris of religion to think they have the fullness of Truth when one little bible verse, which is Truth, can show all religion as babel.

Bless your journey to The Way, Truth and Life and away from babylon.

It is a humbling journey. One that reveals that all the traditions of men, even a satanic calendar, can blind well meaning bible believers.
and all His prophecies, even the one that says Satan deceives the whole world, is True.
Just not the way people think. It may be far more subtle and that is exactly how satan works.

If you or anyone can explain why the Father separated a New Moon Day from His 6 working days and Sabbath, I am all ears. But His answer, confirmed in the Son’s very life events, will be hard to explain away.
and if Christianity knew it, they wouldn’t see those feasts as Jewish Feasts- Those Feasts belong to the Son.
They are set at specific times that proclaim the Word became Flesh and Tabernacled with us..
And sadly, another Jesus comes to life and the Jesus born on December 25 becomes more and more false. That is the sad thing about it. Not sure Christianity wants to know Truth. It will mess up what they have always known.

HalleluYah!
