——>What we do know is that it’s NOT Sunday worship. In fact in fullness it is not yet here and will not be until the antichrist rises and the church is Raptured.

Who’s the Beast/Antichrist power? It’s the PAPACY. 300+ years of Reformers said it, and they proved it FROM THE BIBLE.

What is their stated MARK OF AUTHORITY? Changing God’s 7th-day-Sabbath to Sunday.

“Deny the authority of the Church and you have no adequate or reasonable explanation or justification for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday in the Third - Protestant Fourth - Commandment of God... The Church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.”
—Catholic Record, September 1, 1923.

“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act. And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters.”
—C. F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons, in answer to a letter regarding the change of the Sabbath, November 11, 1895.

“The Sabbath was Saturday, not Sunday. The Church altered the observance of the Sabbath to the observance of Sunday. Protestants must be rather puzzled by the keeping of Sunday when God distinctly said, ‘Keep holy the Sabbath Day.’ The word Sunday does not come anywhere in the Bible, so, without knowing it they are obeying the authority of the Catholic Church.”
—Canon Cafferata, The Catechism Explained, p. 89.

“Reason and sense demand the acceptance of one or the other of these alternatives: either Protestantism and the keeping holy of Saturday, or Catholicity and the keeping holy of Sunday. Compromise is impossible.”
—John Cardinal Gibbons, The Catholic Mirror, December 23, 1893.

“Sunday is our mark of authority...The church is above the Bible, and this observance is proof of that fact.” Catholic Record, September 1, 1923.

God’s authority comes from the fact that He is our CREATOR, as clearly stated in Revelation 14:

7And he said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. WORSHIP the One who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and the springs of waters.”

That language is taken from the 4th commandment in Exodus 20.

11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Those who DON’T receive the Mark of the Beast keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 14: 12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The MOTB will be about WORSHIP and God’s AUTHORITY. Those who choose Sunday over God’s 7th-day-Sabbath will receive the Mark of the Beast and will be lost forever. No coming back from that.
