Isaiah 24:1 - 6 KJV

"Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof."

"And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest..."

"The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word."

"The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish."

"The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws [This includes the Sabbath], changed the ordinance [Holy matrimony between one man and one woman], broken the everlasting covenant [Conditional upon keeping the Ten Commandments as foundational in our acceptance of Christ]."

"Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left."

During the last great earthquake, the earth is turned upside down and thrown out of its normal orbit. The inhabitants of the earth are burned and few are left!

There will soon be a widespread interest in seeking God. Throughout the United States and the world one theme will dominate the thoughts of humanity. We must seek God! A radical change will soon take place in and on the earth. Through fear of earthquakes, floods, fire, tempests, disease, and famine, the judgments of God will hold the attention of mankind. Natural calamities will change current thought. Earthquakes will cause great fear throughout the world. [Luke 21:11.] Fear will motivate people to seek God's help. However, without a sincere desire to yield obedience to God's holy law, The Ten Commandments, earthquakes and natural disasters will not cease. Because of fear, the world will join hands with the Christian community to plead for God's mercy without a real conversion of heart.

But God's true people will warn the honest of heart not to join this worldwide false Christian movement, but to come out of Babylon. Come out of religious confusion! Come out from those who claim to be seeking God, but ignore His holy law to keep the Sabbath holy. Come out from those who make little distinction between what is holy and what is profane. Come out from those who support same-sex unions and Sunday exaltation. Come out from those who try to unite darkness with light! The darkness that embraces the spirit and practices of the world cannot unite with the light of Christianity. Come out of this worldwide movement toward Sunday observance—"the mark of the beast." "Come out of her [Babylon] my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." [Revelation 18:4.] Leaders thinking good of evil will then think evil of those who uphold good. [Isaiah 5:20.] Through false love, there will be little emphasis placed on turning away from the sinful lifestyle of the LGBTQ+ community. The truth in the Bible that reveals that God created man and woman, as the only holy union on the sixth-day, also reveals that God rested on the seventh-day, the only true day of rest and worship to honor God as our Creator. [Genesis 1:26-31; 2:1-3.]

In A.D. 312, the Roman Emperor Constantine claimed to accept Christianity. In A.D. 313, Constantine stopped the persecution of Christians by issuing the Edict of Milan that politically united his empire and encouraged the cordial friendship between Christians and pagans. On March 7, 321, Constantine decreed that the first day of the week, "Dies Solis Invicti" ('sun-day,' or Day of Sol Invictus, Roman god of the Sun), would be the Roman day of rest throughout the Roman Empire revealing his true religious affiliation with sun worship. With this decree, the Christian church and pagans united in worldly festivities.

Here is that decree:

"On the venerable Day of the sun, let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed..." A.D. 321

Constantine decreed this in honor of the pagan sun god, "the venerable Day of the sun", not because Christians worshiped on Sunday, but again, to honor the Roman Sun god and bring harmony and union between Christians and the pagan world. But the Bible states, "Wherefore come out from among them [worldlings], and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean." [2 Corinthians 6:17.] The Christian community and the world should not unite. "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." [John 17:16.] "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." [1 John 2:15.] "Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." [James 4:4.]

Nowhere in the Bible is there a declaration that the Sabbath of the Fourth Commandment has been changed to Sunday. The Bible is emphatic that we separate from the world and its traditions that conflict with obedience to God's commandments.

The Bible clearly shows that the Jewish and Gentile Christians kept the Sabbath as the only sacred day of rest, the seventh-day of the week, according to the Fourth Commandment of God in honor of our Creator. [Acts 13:42-44; 17:2-4; 18:4.] Nowhere in the Bible is there a declaration that the Sabbath of the Fourth Commandment has been changed to Sunday. The Bible is emphatic that we separate from the world and its traditions that conflict with obedience to God's commandments. Sunday observance is a pagan tradition. Jesus, our Great Example, kept the Sabbath [Mark 1:21; 6:2; Luke 4:16; 6:6; 13:10.] Jesus kept the Sabbath as our Example not because He was part Jew, but because He said in John 15:10, "I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love." It was Popery, the Roman Papacy, the Catholic Church that placed its stamp of approval on Sunday and adopted this false day of sun-day rest, during The Council of Laodicea in A.D. 364, canon 29.

Canon 29 states:

"Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honouring the Lord's Day [Sunday]; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ." A.D. 364

Christians were keeping the Sabbath and the Catholic Church, Papal Rome (baptized paganism), told them to keep Sunday as the "Lord's Day" because the Catholic Church hierarchy is "the mystery of iniquity" [2 Thessalonians 2:7.], a religio-political entity that united Christianity with Paganism—pagan sun worship. The Bible states the "Lord's Day" is the Sabbath day. "For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day." [Matthew 12:8.] But regrettably, ever since this compromise with pagan sun worship, adopted by the Catholic Church, Christians over time began worshipping more and more on Sun-day with no scriptural authority. Very soon, the Protestant churches in league with Catholicism will deceive the world by promoting Sunday as the principal day to seek God's mercy from earthquakes and natural calamities. This false day of Sunday worship gives honor to Popery not God. Those who accept this false day of worship will receive the plagues of God poured out without mercy. What day will you choose? Will you obey God and keep the seventh-day Sabbath holy or obey men by honoring Sunday observance?

Earthquakes are going to shake this world as an overwhelming surprise. Scientists will not have the answer. People will turn to their religious leaders for answers. Through Christian leaders, the masses will be deceived. The majority of Christian leaders will not humble their hearts and acknowledge their understanding of the scriptures have been wrong in regards to Sunday sacredness and other non-biblical teachings like the state of the dead. They are not humble men. The world will awake to the deception when it is too late. Sad will be the day when people realize they were lied to! And these false teachers are not alone in deceiving the world. Evil spirits will manifest themselves as departed loved ones to seduce and deceive. Satan will manifest himself as an angel of light. Through the marvelous working of supernatural occurrences, Satan will support the testimony of these professed Christian leaders, some of whom will work false miracles, until almost the whole world is taken in the deception. [Matthew 24:24-26; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11; Revelation 13:13-14.] The deception of Sunday sacredness, in disobedience to the Sabbath as found in the Fourth Commandment of God, is coming! "Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord." [Jeremiah 17:5.]

How can the Creator hear our prayers to stop earthquakes and destruction when we disregard His supreme authority in honoring Him as our Creator? By breaking the Sabbath day and not keeping it holy, we dishonor God as our Creator. Will God hear our prayers if we break any of His Ten Commandments? Please think, and think hard. God is not a man. We cannot trifle with His holy law, the Ten Commandments, and be guiltless. Will we choose to believe the lie about Sunday sacredness because it is convenient? A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it. The truth is still the truth even if no one believes it. But God will send judgments in the form of earthquakes and natural disasters on those who choose to believe a lie and then destroy them if they persist in disregarding His holy law. God will destroy, not because He takes pleasure in destruction, but because people have no appreciation for the truth [2 Chronicles 7:14; Ezekiel 33:11.]

"The foundations of the earth do shake." The earthquakes and the constant trembling of the earth throughout the land will cause fear and desperation. Panic will grip human hearts. Desperate people, do desperate things! Sabbath keepers will be persecuted. Not understanding the truth of the Bible, religious leaders will lead the multitudes to blame earthquakes and calamities on those who uphold all the commandments of God and keep the Sabbath holy.

While the earth descends into utter chaos, the people of God warn the world of the great day of the wrath of God. Amid the tremendous earthquakes, wind storms, and weather events, the warning will go forward by God's people for the world to turn away from sin and obey God's Ten Commandments. Specifically, the seventh-day Sabbath will be the truth most prominently emphasized and proclaimed. On the other side are priests, ministers, and pastors deceiving the people and emphasizing Sunday observance to appease the anger of God. There is a moment of respite—a brief lull in deadly earthquakes. Religious leaders and false teachers proclaim peace and safety to quiet the awakened fears of the people. But it is a great deception! While people continue to carry on their pleasure loving lives and business as usual, the servants of God are quietly sealed and finish their work in warning the world. The world at this time is in the eye of the storm that is ready to break forth in relentless fury. Unnoticed, probation closes. The blackness of eternal despair descends on the world. The winds of strife are let loose—earthquake, tempest, and political strife follow with indescribable destruction [Revelation 7.] The most vivid presentation cannot illustrate the magnitude of the ordeal. The great "time of trouble such as never was", has come [Daniel 12:1.] God's merciless unmingled wrath is released. The seven last plagues are poured out and doing their deadly work [Revelation 16.] The wicked dead are scattered everywhere. It is a fearful time! God's people cannot buy or sell. They are threatened with death [Revelation 13.] Jesus is soon seen in the clouds and rescues His waiting, faithful people who have kept all His commandments and embraced His character [Matthew 26:64.]

Dear reader, where will you stand in that great day? Today, the door of mercy is still open. Jesus still ministers as our Great High Priest in heaven—ready to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness [Hebrews 8, 9; 1 John 1:9.] But the door will not remain open forever [Luke 13:25.] Will you hear His voice? Will you open the door of your heart?

Here is a sign. When the "treacherous dealer" of Isaiah 21:2, the United States—home to apostate Protestant Christianity, enters into conflict in the Middle East, the limit of God's forbearance will soon after be reached. Earthquakes will follow. The "treacherous dealer" of Isaiah 24:16, apostate Christian leaders, will call for a worldwide back to God movement with Sunday as the principal day to worship. Men will plead for God to stop the terrible convulsions of the earth. The last movements will be rapid. God will do a quick work and close this world's history. The shaking of the earth will come. Are you spiritually prepared for what is about to overtake this world as an overwhelming surprise?

"Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near." Isaiah 55:6.
