last day

4. Pat Robertson wrote;
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy,
is a command for the personal benefit to
each citizen. Our minds, spirits, and bodies
demand a regular time of rest. Perhaps
God’s greatest gift to mankind’s earthly
existence is the ability to be free from work
one day a week.”
(The New World Order, Pg. 236)

5. Pope John Paul II -- Dies Domini # 16
“The commandment of the Decalogue by
which God decrees the Sabbath observance
is formulated in the Book of Exodus in a
distinctive way: ‘Remember the Sabbath day
in order to keep it holy’ (20:8).

6. Pope John Paul II -- Dies Domini
“And the inspired text goes on to give the
reason for this, recalling as it does the work
of God: "For in six days the Lord made heaven
and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and
rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord
blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy" (v.
11).
Before decreeing that something be done,
the commandment urges that something be
remembered.”

7. Pope John Paul II -- Dies Domini
“It is a call to awaken remembrance of the
grand and fundamental work of God which is
creation, a remembrance which must inspire
the entire religious life of man and then fill
the day on which man is called to rest. Rest
therefore acquires a sacred value: the faithful
are called to rest not only as God rested, but
to rest in the Lord, bringing the entire
creation to him, in praise and thanksgiving,
intimate as a child and friendly as a spouse.”

8. Dr. James Kennedy, Coral Ridge Presbyterian
Church, Fort Lauderdale FL, 11 /4 / 2001
“God so loved the human race that He gave us
the Sabbath. In fact, before the state, before
the church, before even the family, the first
institution that God gave to mankind was the
Sabbath. Having created the heavens and the
earth and all things therein, he rested on the
seventh day and blessed the seventh day and
hallowed it. And He commands us to keep it
as such, because He loves us. And if we love
Him we will love His Sabbath.”

9. Dr. James Kennedy, Coral Ridge Presbyterian
Church, Fort Lauderdale FL, 11 /4 / 2001
“The Sabbath, the first institution given to
man, is one that is vitally important. It is the
longest commandment of the ten, more words
dedicated to that throughout the rest of the
scripture, mentioned more than virtually any
other, and it was a very serious matter. God
intended us to keep it.”

10. Christianity Today editorial, November 2003
“Our churches and families need to return to
a Sabbath consciousness that can provide a
platform for countercultural witness.”

62. 13. Who, or what power, is
represented by
the little horn?
The Roman Papacy

63. (a) The Papacy was established during the
rule of Rome, the fourth beast.
(b) It was seen after the division of Rome
into the ten kingdoms of Europe.
(c) It was not a major power at first, but
over time grew,
(d) eventually supplanting 3 kingdoms
(Heruli in 493, Vandals in 534, Ostrogoths
in 538).

65. 13. Who, or what power is represented by
the little horn?
(e) The ten kingdoms that came out of the
Roman Empire were political kingdoms. But
the Papacy combined religious and political
authority.
(f) The leader of the Papacy is a man whose
title is the Pope.

66. 13. Who, or what power is represented by
the little horn?
(g) The Papacy claims to have the authority
to change divine law. “The Pope is of so
great authority and power, that he is able to
modify, declare, or interpret even divine
Laws.” (emphasis supplied)
(Source: Lucius Ferraris, Prompta
Bibliotheca “Papa,” article 2).

67. 3. Who, or what power is represented by
e little horn?
(h) The saints would be persecuted for time,
times, and the dividing of times. In a parallel
prophecy, Revelation 12:6 and 13:5 shows this
period to be 42 months, or 1260 days, or
literal years (a prophetic day is a literal year;
see Ezekiel 4:6). From 538 AD, when the last
of the three horns were “plucked up,” to
1798 AD, when the Pope was arrested and
exiled by French general Berthier, the Papacy
persecuted and killed thousands of Christians
who would not submit to its authority.

68. 538 AD – Papacy begins ascendancy to power

73. Prophetic years = 360 days
3 ½ years = 1260 days (or literal years)
3 ½ years
Time, Times, and half a time
3 ½ prophetic years

76. 13. Who, or what power is represented by
he little horn?
)Pompous, or blasphemous words would be:
1) Man claiming to forgive sins; see Mark 2:7
2) Man taking the place of God; see John 10:33.
he Papacy does both: “The priest holds the place of
he Saviour himself, when, by saying ‘Ego te absolvo,’
e absolves from sin.” (Duties and Dignities of the
riest, by Liguori, pg. 27) “All names which in
cripture are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is
stablished that he is over the church, all the same
ames are applied to the Pope.” (On the Authority of
ouncils, book 2, chapter 17, 1619 edition)
We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.”
The Great Encyclical Letters of Leo XIII, page 304)

77. 14. What law and time did the little horn
attempt to change?
God’s Ten Commandment Law

78. a. God’s Ten Commandment law.
The Roman church “modified” the law by
eliminating the second commandment and
splitting the tenth commandment in order to
still have ten. The fourth commandment is
moved up to third, and the reference to
Sabbath being the seventh day is removed.
(See “the Convert’s Catechism of Catholic
Doctrine,” Pg. 37, 38; 1946 edition)

you lay something aside, storing up as he
may prosper, that there be no collections
when I come.

111. Now on the first day of the week, when the
disciples came together to break bread,
Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to
them and continued his message to midnight.
Acts 20:7
So continuing daily with one accord in the
temple, and breaking bread from house to
house, they ate their food with gladness and
simplicity of heart.
