Angry Churchgoers Put Pressure on a Supermarket for Opening on a Sunday in Netherlands (December 2013)
"Angry churchgoers plastered a branch of Albert Heijn with pamphlets. They call on customers to stop shopping there, because the supermarkets will be open on Sundays from now on."
The earth beast tells 'them that dwell in the earth to make an image of the first beast' (Revelation 13:14). So it is the people that bring about the image of the Papacy, which will end up causing the law makers to enforce the Sunday law. And we can see that 'spirit' in this news item.

"The Court of Appeal has today (5th December) upheld protection of Sundays as a day of worship and rest for Christians. In a landmark judgment, the Court of Appeal dismissed earlier findings that Sunday observance was 'not a core component of the Christian faith'. The ruling comes in the case of children's worker, Celestina Mba."

INFO: Everything Stops on a Sunday in Indian State, Even Political Campaigning (November 2013)
"Sunday is for God in Mizoram. Everything else can wait, even campaigning for once-in-five-years assembly elections. Campaigning for the November 25 polls in Mizoram has entered a crucial phase. But for the people, nothing is more important than sticking to the Sunday routine of going to church. Every other public place too is in shutdown mode."

INFO: SUNDAY Assembly Movement Launching ATHEIST Churches (November 2013)
"A fast-growing, worldwide congregation for atheists called Sunday Assembly picked an unlikely spot to try and launch a new group ... Nashville. Evans and Jones, who launched the first Sunday Assembly ... in London less than a year ago and, within weeks, were drawing a capacity crowd. They now head up 30 congregations around the world, with major U.S. locations in New York, Boston and Washington, D.C."
So even atheists are starting to make Sunday a 'special day' for gathering together now. I wonder who those two people who started this movement really are and what their background is. Satan is far reaching in his plans to implement the mark of the beast.

France Looking into Law Curbing Sunday Shopping - Court Orders 14 Stores to Close on Sundays (October 2013)
"French law has established Sunday as a mandatory day off to help ensure rest and the quality of life ... Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault met with government ministers today on the subject after a court ordered two hardware chains to close 14 of their stores on Sundays."
We are seeing these Sunday laws in place all over the world. So would it take much to properly enforce them? Not with the state the world is in today, with all the economic troubles and disasters. Yes, there are people who protest against it, and there will always be people who protest. But a few big disasters and some signs and wonders from Satan will secure a place for the Roman Catholic mark.

The Desecration of the 7th Day Sabbath in Jerusalem (June 2013)
"New shopping complex called a breakthrough that will revolutionize Saturdays ... It's incredibly rare to see so many people publicly desecrating the Sabbath in Jerusalem, where most businesses shut down at sunset on Friday and streets are quiet until nightfall the following day. Secular Jerusalemites have hailed the new complex at the station as a breakthrough that will revolutionize Saturdays in Israel's capital city."
So how are the Jews going to be deceived with regards to the Sunday law? Obviously not all of them will, but as we can see from the news item further down this page stating that a political party in Israel are pushing for Sunday to be a day of rest and now this news item showing that the 7th day sabbath is being desecrated with shops being open for business for the first time.

Pope Francis Book Talks About a Needed Sunday "Sabbath" Rest - THAT APPEALS TO EVERYONE! (April 2013)
"Responding to the question, "Do we need to rediscover the meaning of leisure?" Pope Francis replies: Together with a culture of work, there must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport. But this is being destroyed, in large part, by the elimination of the Sabbath rest day. More and more people work on Sundays as a consequence of the competitiveness imposed by a consumer society. In such cases, he concludes, work ends up dehumanizing people."
Why do we keep the 7th day sabbath? To honor God right? And to spend one special day a week in complete devotion to Him. Can you see the new path that the Vatican is taking towards the Sunday law? God is taken out of the picture and in place we see things that appeal to ALL MANKIND: rest, family time, playing sport, etc. Who wouldn't want an enforced "day of rest" where you can down tools and enjoy relaxation and recreation? This will appeal to everyone. And this is how the beast will be able to cause the "WHOLE WORLD" to take the mark.

TAKE ACTION: EUROPEAN DAY FOR A WORK-FREE SUNDAY ON 3 MARCH 2013 (February 2013)
"In these difficult times of economic insecurity too many workers and employers are coming under pressure and our society overlooks the importance of free time and the participation of citizens in society ... The current practises and legislation in EU- and Member States need to be improved. Synchronization of working time which includes the work-free Sunday is crucial. Only if this happens can health, safety and dignity of all citizens can be promoted. Only in this way will all citizens be able to reconcile their personal, family and professional life. Only by this is social cohesion guaranteed as it enables people to gather, employers and employees alike."

"More and more holidays are becoming days of shopping and other business, and Sundays long ago ceased to be quiet days of rest and worship. A Kentucky doctor and author is part of a growing movement in the opposite direction. The doctor's prescription: Keep a Sabbath."
The Hungarian Prime Minister just the other day said that this economic disaster was due to the people abandoning Christian principles (source). And as the disasters and troubles keep mounting, this movement for a sabbath rest will continue to grow, until the Papacy has her way and the Sunday law is enforced - "for the better of society".

Eurozone Demands Six-Day Working Week for Greece - A Move Towards Sunday Law? (September 2012)
"Greece's eurozone creditors are demanding that the government in Athens introduce a six-day working week as part of the stiff terms for the country's second bailout."
This demand means that workers will be "forced" to work on the seventh day sabbath, not Sunday, because Greek law already forbids working on Sunday (see here - last sentence). And it is interesting that this has now come about after the recent high level meeting between Religious leaders and the Presidents of EU.
We know that it will be America (earth beast) that causes the world to take the mark of the beast, but we can certainly see the "workings" and "ways" that Satan will eventually bring about the Sunday law.

Time Out "on the Sabbath" Necessary to Help 'Save Our Souls' (June 2012)
"It is a good question for any era, because it invites us to pause and check what life really is all about. It is particularly pertinent to New Zealand today, since for many people workplace goals and pressures are constantly undermining the ideal of a healthy work-life balance."
By the way, the "sabbath" in this article is Sunday, not the 7th day. Can you see what they are pushing at? We are getting this thrown at us all the time now ... "better for family" .. "better for society" .. "better work-life balance" .. etc, etc. And are they right? Yes, of course they are, as having a day of rest each week is what God intended for us.

The Vatican is really pushing for the Sunday law now and making the all important link with "family", so that it reaches those outside the faith also. And with the world in the state it is, we are getting close to the time when the Sunday law will be embraced by the people of the world in order to help bring peace. Are you getting ready?

A Community in Brooklyn, U.S.A., to Report Any Restaurants Breaking the Sunday Blue Law (May 2012)
"Department of Consumer Affairs inspectors - deployed after requests from CB1 members - began cracking down on restaurants that serve food and drink outdoors before noon on Sundays in violation of a rarely enforced city blue law that has prohibited the practice since 1971. The Sunday ban was put in place to promise peace and quiet out of respect for restaurant neighbors on what some view as a day of rest, city officials said."
One thing to remember about this. The earth beast in Revelation 13 (America) calls for the people to make the image of the sea beast (Papacy). So America will call for the people of the world to make the image of the Papacy. And what is happening in this situation above? The community leaders are calling for the PEOPLE to make sure the Sunday blue law is enforced within their community. Just a small example of what will become a worldwide issue one day soon.

Declaration From COMECE Bishops Pushing for Work-Free Sunday (January 2012)
"it is the task of government to provide guaranteed market-free times and living spaces where people can search for ways to meet these needs. It is right that market activity is restricted on official public holidays and Sundays, because on those days, for national, cultural or religious reasons, peace and quiet and time to collect one's thoughts take precedence over economic activities."
They are really pushing the "social reasons" for having Sunday off each week now, which will reach those outside the faith. And with the economic problems of nations all over the world, getting Sunday protected as a work-free day for the sake of "stability, peace and family", will be much easier to secure.

Preparatory Catecheses for the World Meeting of Families in 2012 (October 2011)
"The upcoming World Meeting of Families affords a privileged opportunity to rethink work and celebration in the perspective of a family that is united and open to life, thoroughly integrated in society and in the Church, attentive to the quality of relationship in addition to the economy of the family nucleus itself." (Pope Benedict XVI)
"Not only work but also rest from work constitutes a fundamental right and an essential good for individuals and their families. This is what the post-synod Exhortation Sacramentum Caritatis states. A man and a woman are worth more than their work. They are made for communion and encounter. So Sunday should not take the form of an interval from work to be filled with frenetic activities or unusual experiences, but rather a day of rest which opens up to the encounter, lets the other be rediscovered, and makes it possible to dedicate time to family relations and friends and to prayer."
"It is particularly urgent nowadays to remember that the day of the Lord is also a day of rest from work. It is greatly to be hoped that this fact will also be recognized by civil society, so that individuals can be permitted to refrain from work without being penalized."
"The seventh day of creation. Modern man created free time and lost the meaning of celebration. The meaning of the celebration, particularly Sunday, as a time for man, indeed, a time for the family, needs to be retrieved."
"The commandment to keep holy the sabbath. The THIRD commandment of the Decalogue recalls the liberation from Egypt, the gift of freedom, which creates Israel as a people. It is a perennial sign of the covenant between God and man in which every life shares, even animal life."
They are really laying the groundwork for the Sunday law now! And with the economic turmoil and troubles around the world today, the people of the world will soon be ripe to be deceived into accepting the mark of the beast. Please pray, study and LIVE the truth! Jesus is coming soon.

Pope Says Virgin Mary is the "Living" Ark of the Testament in Heaven (August 2011)
Wow! What statement this is!!
Do you see what this could lead to? Watch for Satan to make some sort of "apparition" or "miracle" of the virgin Mary, with her stating that the world is breaking God's Commandments (ESPECIALLY THE "SABBATH" - SUNDAY), which is causing all these disasters and distruction, and that the only way forward is to enforce a Sunday law.
Are you rooted in the Love of Christ and His Word? I hope so. Because the ride is soon to get very bumpy for the saints! By the way, ever wondered how the Muslims would be brought under control? Do you know what Muslims and Catholics have in common? Their high regard of the Virgin Mary!

North Dakota Catholic Conference says 'Sunday law' Benefits all People (July 2011)
"The purpose of North Dakota’s Sunday closing law is not to impose times of worship. Nor is it to demand adherence to religious doctrine. The purpose of the law is to preserve the common good by ensuring that society is not overtaken by work and profit, wrote Christopher Dodson."
Again, we can see how Satan is going to reach those outside the faith with the Sunday law, by saying it isn't a "religious" law, but one that "benefits the secular world."

Pennsylvania Debates Whether to Hunt on the "Sabbath" (Sunday) (July 2011)
"Farm Bureau members also claim they want one day free of hunters traipsing across their property. Hikers and bird-watchers have joined the farmers, saying they want one day a week of bullet-free passage through Pennsylvania. And some sportsmen also support the ban, saying the wild critters they stalk need a day of rest as well."
Well, we all need a day of rest each week don't we? God said so Himself. Problem is, the world has rejected God's holy day in favor of another! Do you notice that this "we need one day a week rest" is reaching all walks of life?
The Sunday law is coming for sure!

Pope Benedict Admits that the Seventh Day (Saturday) is True Bible Sabbath (March 2011)
The Pope in a new book says ..."if one considers the importance that Saturday has in the Old Testament tradition, based on the account of the creation and on the Decalogue, it is evident that only an event of overwhelming force could cause giving up Saturday and replacing it by the first day of the week."
Now what the Pope is saying here is that the Bible reveals the seventh day (our Saturday) is the true Bible sabbath, but that man "GAVE UP" the true Bible sabbath because of the resurrection of Christ Jesus. But those of us who follow the Word of God ALONE know that there is no word from God or Jesus telling us to "give up" or change the true seventh day Bible sabbath. Therefore, this IMPORTANT day still stands today!

"it is necessary to promote reflection and efforts at reconciling the demands and the periods of work with those of the family and to recover the true meaning of the feast, especially on Sunday, the weekly Easter, the day of the Lord and the day of man, the day of the family, of the community and of solidarity."

Clause in New Lisbon Treaty Could Help Sunday Legislation (July 2010)
According to Martin Kastler, there should be a law right across Europe banning shops from opening on Sundays and making it a family day. And there is a clause in the new treaty which could help bring about this legislation.
But what interests me in the news article is that the European Union could let the PEOPLE decide on this. Now what does it say in Revelation 13:14, about America? That it tells the PEOPLE to make an image of the beast. The decision of the Sunday law will be with the people.

Churchgoers Force Local Authority in Belfast to not Hold the Marathon on Sunday (May 2010)
Of course the "sabbath" they are talking about is Sunday, the man-made "sabbath", not God's truth Sabbath day (Saturday). The local authority was going to switch the marathon to a Sunday, but churchgoers hit out, saying that it should not be held on the "sabbath". Just think, this was a relatively small amount of people who forced the local governing authority to keep Sunday as the "sabbath" and not have the marathon on that day. Now just imagine people all over the world getting together and crying out for a Sunday law.
