Now let’s continue on. Let’s see something here. You know, the average Protestant today does not have a clue that the Jews and the children of Israel, the ten northern tribes, were carried off into captivity because of Sunday-keeping. They were worshiping Baal and Ashtoreth. Because you see, the Protestant ministers and teachers and those who still follow Rome - because as we saw, the Catholics have chided the Protestants and say, “By what authority do you keep Sunday, and Easter, and Christmas? You can search the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and find not one word authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. If you want to follow the Bible, you Protestants, as you claim, then you ought rightly keep the seventh-day Sabbath.” They know. You know. But they haven’t been told that the children of Israel and Judah, in worshiping Baal and Ashtoreth, were rejected out of their inheritance because they were committing idolatry and keeping Sunday. So therefore, all those who keep Sunday are right back to the trough of abominations that the children of Israel and the children of Judah were doing.

Now God gave them a chance again. Let’s read here. Now continuing, Jeremiah 17:23, “But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. And it shall come to pass,…” Now notice. Even when God was giving the warning, “You are going into captivity…” “And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto Me [again, to the voice of God], saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day,…” Now you stop and think about modern-day Israel. What is the greatest shopping day? Saturday. The Sabbath. And how many sports do they have on it? They teach their children to break the Sabbath by having sports and activities on the Sabbath, don’t they? Yes. God said, Ok, if you will “…hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;…” And everyone loves their overtime Saturday work, don’t they? Yes.

“Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David,…” He would forgive; He would take away the captivity; He would not send them off if they returned to Him. And the king would still be there. The Jews have no king today, because they rejected God under the Old Covenant; sent off into the Babylonian captivity. And from that time on they only had a governor. There was no throne of David there in Jerusalem. And then when it came the time for the one to inherit the throne, Jesus Christ, they rejected Him.

He says, yes, they would be there, “…riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain forever. And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat [meal] offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD. But if ye [refuse] 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” (vs. 23-27).

Question: did that happen? We already pointed out, twice. Now if you want some very instructive reading you get the book of Josephus, The History of the Jews. While he refused to write about Christ and the Church, except what looks like an insertion by some translator; he did accurately depict the fall of Jerusalem during the Babylonian captivity and the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. And it was horrible, indeed. Because there comes a time to where God says enough is enough, is enough, is enough. Now how close are we getting to that right now? Well, I tell you what, we’ll soon find out.

Let’s come here to Isaiah 1. Now let’s look at one where a lot of Protestant ministers go to say, “See? God hates the Sabbath.” Now how can God hate something that He gave for their good? Let’s read it. Isaiah 1. This is very instructive. But you have to read it to understand what it’s really saying. God says, “delight yourself in My Sabbath.” How can God hate the Sabbath that He gave as a delight? By the very actions of men. If they are keeping the Sabbath, or the day that they have changed and call it their sabbath.

Now Isaiah 1:10, “Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom,…” And that’s just the way this society is today. Now they know that they have so many homosexual priests in the Catholic Church, and they have the highest rate of AIDS of any group of people in the world. And they claim they represent God? Pray tell, if you’re a Catholic you better repent. If you are a priest you better give up being a priest of Baal, because that is what you are. You are no priest unto God if you’re a homosexual. And you carry around the curse of AIDS, which God has brought upon you to teach you a lesson to show you not to do those abominations. So that’s what He says here. “…Give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.” Which then covers all of the rest of the illegal, illicit sex of adultery, and fornication, and abortion, and all of that to go with it.

“To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto Me? saith the LORD:…” Because you see, they really weren’t to Him. They were to what? The other gods. “…I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts, and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. When ye come to appear before Me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread My courts?” (vs. 11-12). And as we saw with Jeremiah, unto the other gods, right in the house of God. One of the worst kings that ever was, was king Manasseh. And he put an idol right in the house of God, and all the hosts of heaven; and built all the homosexual tents all around it. What is the purpose of that? “When you come to appear before Me who hath required this at your hand, to tread My courts?” What purpose is it on Sunday, that you go to worship on Sunday, and you hear the minister say, “God has delivered us from the law.” No. God has delivered you from the curse of the law; and the curse of the law is sin, and the curse of the law is death. He has not delivered you from the law, that you don’t have to keep it; that now you can believe the lie that Sunday is the day of worship when it is not; when you call Sunday the “Christian Sabbath” when it never was.

Now notice, “Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto Me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.” Now notice verse 14: “Your new moons and your appointed feasts My soul hateth:…” Why? Because their new moons and their sabbaths and their ways were the pagan days. That’s why He hated it. God would not hate His own Sabbath. God would not hate His own holy days. But He hates it when people come with the wrong attitude. Now it’s says here, continuing, “…they are a trouble unto Me; I am weary to bear them. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide Mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood” (vs. 13-15).

Now let’s go to Isaiah 66, and let’s just say this: even if you’re keeping the right days that God has said you should keep - and we have seen this with the Churches of God, haven’t we, that they do keep the Sabbath and they do keep the holy days. But what is it that they do? They are committing adultery; they are lying; they are cheating; they are stealing. Their heart and their attitude is wrong before God. So here, Isaiah 66, God makes it very clear, even if you have the right days, even if you follow the law in the letter, but your heart is not right before God, even that becomes an abomination to God. Because God wants a willing heart. God wants a yielded mind. God wants a contrite spirit. Let’s pick it up here in verse 1. “Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool: where is the house that ye build unto Me? and where is the place of My rest? For all those things hath Mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the LORD…” (Isa. 66:1-2).

See, because what is greater than a magnificent building? What is greater than a temple of God? What is greater than a church building? A contrite and a humble heart and spirit, and one that worships God in spirit and in truth; and one that loves God with all their heart, and mind, and soul, and being. See, because then you have a relationship with God. Otherwise, you just have a religion, and you have a building, and you put confidence in physical things. And know for sure, God is going to remove it. And God is going to take it away, that you may repent and come back to Him. Now let’s continue here: “…But to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word” (vs. 2). Do you tremble at the Word of God? Do you love the Word of God? Do you fear disobeying God? Do you fear transgressing the Word of God? Do you fear breaking the Sabbath day and doing your own thing? Do you?

Now notice - you can be religious as can be, you can offer a sacrifice according to the way that God said under the Old Covenant to offer it. But if your heart isn’t right, what good does it do? Verse 3, “He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burneth incense as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.” Which, we already saw what they were. “I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before Mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not” (vs. 3-4).

Now again let’s come back to the first chapter of Isaiah. It’s kind of like Jesus said, “I am the beginning and the end.” So here, we can tie the beginning of Isaiah together with the end of Isaiah. And here, right in the beginning He gives the solution. And here is what it needs to be. Now let’s come here to verse 16. “Wash you,…” Yes. Through the proper baptism, and the cleansing of the washing of the water by the word. “…Make you clean [by doing the things that are right]; put away the evil of your doings from before Mine eyes; cease to do evil;…” And Sunday-keeping and the pagan holidays are all evil, as we have seen how many times? Yes. “…Learn to do well;…” That is, the proper worship of God, the proper Sabbath-keeping, the proper keeping of the commandments of God, as magnified by Jesus Christ.

“…Seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:…” God will listen. God will hear when there is repentance. “…Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:…” Now in the New Covenant, if you be willing and obedient you will inherit eternal life. But, verse 20, “…if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it” (vs. 16-20). Now that’s quite a thing. We need to understand just exactly what that is. Now let’s come to the New Testament. Let’s come to 1 John 2, and let’s see what the apostle John wrote. Now again, I know that we have covered this in the past, but that’s been quite a few back from the beginning of this.

1 John 2, and here is how we need to model our life, right here. And we need to do so by loving God, as Christ said, with all your heart, and all your mind, and all your soul, and all your strength. God doesn’t want some part-time Sunday-worship. God wants your whole being. God does not want you going out and adding the pagan abominations to His way. He wants you to reject it because it’s part and parcel of the world and Satan the devil. It’s not of God. Now notice verse 3. “And hereby we do know that we know Him,…” Do you really know that you know Christ? Even though on Sunday a lot of ministers and people say, “Know the Lord! Know the Lord!” But they don’t know Him because they are Sunday-keepers. They may know of Him from reading some scriptures, but they don’t know Him because they are not fellowshipping with Him on the Sabbath. They are not keeping His laws and His commandments.

Now notice. Here is the “if”: “…hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.” Now you think on that. And as Christ said, let this sink deep into your ears. Or as we just learned in the Old Testament, to “Obey My voice.” Now notice verse 4. Are you this person? Does this apply to you? It surely does to all of those who profess Sunday. It surely does to those who teach Sunday, who teach commandment-breaking. How can you teach commandment-breaking in the name of Christ, when He came to forgive sins, which is commandment-breaking? It’s an impossibility. It’s an oxymoron.

Verse 4, “He that saith [and that means anyone who says], I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar,…” Are you a liar? Do you believe a lie? Do you reject the truth of God? And it says, “…the truth is not in him.” Are you the same as the children of Israel and the children of Judah in the Old Covenant, that you reject God’s ways? Now notice verse 5: “But whoso keepeth His word…” And Jesus said, “The Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath day.” Do you keep His Word concerning the Sabbath? Do you keep His Word concerning the first commandment, and the second commandment, and the third commandment, as well as the fourth commandment, and the fifth, and sixth, and seventh, and eighth, and ninth, and tenth? And do you keep the commandments as magnified by Jesus Christ in Matthew 5, 6, and 7? Do you? “…His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected:…” (vs. 4-5). So you see here very clearly, that there can be no such thing as the love of God while you are breaking the commandments of God. That is also an oxymoron. That is a contradiction. And if you do not keep the commandments of God and love Him and let God’s love be perfected in you through His Spirit and through His truth and through His Word, then you are rejecting Christ. If you keep Sunday in the name of Christ, you are in fact rejecting Christ. Do you understand that? That’s what it’s saying here.

And “…hereby we know that we [abide] are in Him.” Do you abide or dwell in Christ? “He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked” (vs. 5-6). Question: Did Jesus ever sin? Answer: no. Did He ever break the Sabbath? Answer: no. Did He always do the things that pleased God? Yes. Is that how you are walking? Is that the standard and goal that you are seeking for? Is that the purpose in your life, or do you want to go around in your own self-deception and claim the name of God, while you continue in your sins and do the same as the ancient Israelites and the Jews, to say, “We are delivered to do these things,” when you have not been?

Now come over here to verse 15. Because you see, if you do those things, that is the way of the world. And if you love those things then the love of God is not in you. Notice verse 15, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world…” And is not Sunday a thing that is in the world, the command of men? Yes it is. And don’t the Catholics arrogantly taunt the Protestants that they ought to know better, because, “if you’re keeping Sunday, you’re following the Pope; because the Pope did these things by his own decree.” And the decree, as we saw last time, of Constantine. So if you follow Sunday, you’re rejecting God. You’re following the way of the world and the pagan emperor of Rome and you are not following God. You are loving the world and the things that are in the world.

“…If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world” (vs. 15-16). And that is a perfect description of Sunday and all of the pagan holidays…that it is all based upon lust. You stop and think about the so-called thing concerning Christmas, which is really honoring the sun god Mithras, and everything about Christ being born on that day is a lie. And as I have said how many times, you cannot worship the God of truth with a lie. You lie to your children that there is a Santa Claus. You get them all involved in lust and coveting after things, and “Give me this,” and “Give me that,” and “Give me the other thing.” You teach them to have idolatry by having a Christmas tree in your house. And all of that stems from Sunday-keeping. You teach them to look to someone else besides you, as the parents, to receive gifts and good things. No, that’s all of the world. That is not of God.

Now what happens when…let’s come to 2 Peter 2 here for just a minute. And let’s see that these things come in because the way of truth is evil spoken of, or blasphemed, as it is in the Greek. And that’s what all of the Protestant ministers and teaching have to do blaspheming God. That’s what the Catholic doctrine is, is blasphemy against God and His way. 2 Peter 2:1, “But there were false prophets also among the people…” We just read about that, didn’t we? All the false prophets saying, “It’s ok to do these things. We are delivered to do it. Bring Baal right here in the house of God. He won’t mind. We’re ecumenicist. That will be just good. We’re all going to heaven. Bring in Moloch. Bring in the abomination of the Zidonians. Let’s set it right up here in the house of God, and we’ll have a good ecumenical service together. God has delivered us to do this.” That’s what they said.

“…Even as there shall be false teachers among you…” So it comes right into the Church of God. How many things have we seen concerning the Sabbath, the Passover, the holy days, clean and unclean meats, and all of those things, by false teachers coming in? “…Who privily shall bring in damnable heresies [that is, they will stealthily do it; they have an agenda; they have something they’re going to do themselves], even denying the Lord that bought them, and [shall] bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of” (2 Peter 2:1-2). Isn’t that what they do concerning the Sabbath? Is not the Sabbath the truth of God? Is not the Sabbath the day of worship for God? Yes. Do they not speak evil of the Sabbath? Do they not say that if you keep the Sabbath you are Judaizing? Well, most people do not even know what Judaizing is. Judaizing has nothing to do with commandment-keeping, but it has to do with keeping the traditions of the Jews, which Christ has rejected. So they speak evil. Do you accept them speaking evil of it? Do you think that you’re delivered to do those things?

Now notice. “And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you:…” This sounds like Pat Robertson’s program: “Get money. We’ve got a goal of $150,000 in the next hour. Roll the drums! Play the tympani! Send in the money!” That’s all part of the world. You’re being merchandised. “…Whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not” (vs. 3). He says, “I want you to pay attention. I want you to realize and understand something profound, that you as human beings need to really grasp concerning God.”

“For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell,…” That is, tartaroo - place of restraint; the abyss, and as we talked about there in Revelation 9 and Revelation 20. “…And delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;…” (vs. 4). Now are you under chains of darkness because of sin? Here - hold your place here, and let’s come to Matthew 6. Jesus Christ describes this. The true light of the world is Jesus Christ, is it not? And is not the Word of God a lamp to our feet to show us which way to go? Now let’s see what Jesus says here. He says verse 22, “The light of the body is the eye:…” There is something profound about the eyes. “…If therefore thine eye be single [that is, single-minded in purpose toward the kingdom of God and Christ, and loving and serving God], thy whole body shall be full of light.” And Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.”

“But if thine eye be evil…” By going against the commandments of God, by rejecting the truth of God; by rejecting the Sabbath of God; by rejecting the commandment, “You shall have no other gods before Me; You shall not making any graven image of any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or in the earth beneath, and bow down to it,” your body shall be full of darkness. “If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness [which comes from Satan the devil], how great is that darkness!” Verse 24, “No man can serve two masters:…” You can’t serve God and you can’t serve Baal. You can’t take the name of Christ and the Lord God and put it upon - superimpose it - over Baal and say, “This is God.” “…For either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (Matt. 6:22-24). Meaning, you cannot serve God and your own way. You cannot serve God and have your own religion. You cannot serve God and make up your own commandments. It will never be.

Now let’s come back here to 2 Peter 2. So pay attention. If God didn’t spare the angels, Peter is saying, watch out; because God is not going to spare you. Now notice verse 5, “…And spared not the old world,…” You go back and read what happened there. Let’s do that. Let’s just go back and read what happened. Let’s go to Genesis 6. Let’s see. We’re coming to this again. As Jesus said, “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall also be in the days of the coming of the Son of man” (Matthew 24:37, paraphrased). What was it? How bad was it? How bad is our society getting? And it all stems from rejecting God’s way and superimposing all of the abominations of the religions of this world upon God. And God will not endure it. He will be kind. He will be merciful. He will be sparing. But the day is coming when He is going to pull it up short, just like He did in the days of Noah.

Now notice verse 5. “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,…” Is that not where we’re coming today? And are we not going to do it in a much more accelerated way? Are we not living in an age of knowledge, where we have instantaneous communication, instantaneous knowledge? To where these things, people can just a grow in sin and knowledge of this world. All you have to do is get on the Internet and click through it. Yes, there is some truth there. Yes, there are some people trying to do good. But you look at all the evil that’s going on there too. “…And that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” They were in a total, occult, Satanist society, with the exception of Noah and his family. And we are fast coming to the same point of an occult, Satanist society. Notice what happened. “And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart” (Gen. 6:5-6).

Do you grieve God because of your way? Do you grieve God because of your sins? Do you grieve God because you take the name of Jesus Christ and attach it to your Sunday, and all of your pagan holidays? “And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth Me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD” (vs. 7-8). Now if you repent, you will find grace in the eyes of the Lord. Yes you will. Now let’s come back here to 2 Peter 2. He wants us to understand that the flood was a great judgment because of sin. And if God did that - and this is New Testament doctrine - just think what He’s going to do because of all the filthy abominations that are done in the name of God today.

“…And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;…” Now if you don’t keep the commandments of God, you are ungodly. And as one man wrote, which is very profound, he said, “Though your morals be impeccable, if you do not worship the true God you are an atheist.” And if you’re an atheist then you are ungodly. “And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; and delivered just [now, that means righteous] Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation [conduct] of the wicked: (for that righteous man dwelling among them, and seeing and hearing [the things that they were doing] vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:…” (vs. 5-9).

So God can deliver you. Or are you going to go on, like the rest of those who reject God, who turn their back on Christ? Who go against the way of God, and follow all the rest? Here - you read the rest of 2 Peter 2. Let’s come over here, down here to verse 13. “And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;…” And we have seen that happen, even within churches of God. Men come in and do this very thing: “…Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;…” (vs. 13-15). And Balaam was the high priest of Pethor, right there on the Euphrates River. And that’s just like saying the Pope in St. Peter’s Basilica. Because Pethor means “Peter.” Followed that way.

“But [he] was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with a man’s voice forbade the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. For when…” And this is exactly what happens every single Sunday when they come up discussing the Sabbath-Sunday question. “For when they speak great swelling words of vanity,…” All you have to do is turn on any religious channel, watch these great and famous preachers. “…Great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lust of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty,…” Saying, “You have been delivered to do these things.” That now, “Sunday is the Christian Sabbath day.” “…They themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage” (vs. 16-19).

Are you in the bondage of Sunday and the pagan holidays? Have you been overcome by it? Have you turned your back on the Sabbath? Were you once a Sabbath-keeper and are now a Sunday-keeper? Were you once keeping the holy days of God, and now you are keeping the feast days of Balaam? Have you been brought into bondage for that? “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the letter end is worse with them than the beginning.” Is that where you are? Do you love God’s Sabbath? Do you love God’s Word? Do you love God’s holy days? Or do you believe the lie that Satan has perpetrated on all of Protestantism and all of Catholicism, and yea, the whole world? It says here, “For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them” (vs. 20-21). There is still time. There is still a way of repentance that God gives. You can come out of it. You can begin to come back to God, as we saw there in Isaiah 1. Revelation 3, “Repent and be zealous, therefore.”

“But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is [re]turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire” (vs. 22). So if you have left the Sabbath and gone back into Sunday-keeping, you are right back in the cesspool of the world’s religions and all the satanic lies that come with it. Now if you are in Sunday-keeping and pagan holiday keeping, come out of it. Repent. God says repent.

Let’s come here to Revelation 18, where God pleads with His people, where God cries out to His people. Let’s pick it up here in verse 2. “And he cried [that is, the angel] mightily [coming down out of heaven] with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen,…” Listen - this whole world’s system and religion is going to fall. “…And is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication [of great Babylon, which is all the pagan religions of this world], and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out of her, My people,…” (Rev. 18:2-4).

Will you come out of Babylon the Great? Will you forsake Sunday-keeping and pagan holiday keeping? Will you return to God in truth and repentance, to love Him, to keep His commandments, and to serve Him with all your heart, and mind, and being? Will you? If you don’t, He says, if you do then you will not be partakers of her sins; that you receive not of her plagues. But if you don’t, you’re going to be partaker of her sins and receiver of the plagues. So this thing of Sabbath-keeping versus Sunday–keeping is a very important and profound thing. So next time I’m going to go through every place where it talks about the first day of the week. And we will examine it very carefully to see what really took place. Were there indeed worship services going on, and was this indeed a sanctification of Sunday instead of the Sabbath?
