Daniel 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spoke, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? 14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
As we had stated in a previous study, Darwin just happened to be alive during the time of 1844, and ever since that time, the theory of evolution, as taught in public schools, has done much to destroy the worship of the true God. That’s because the theory of evolution does not recognize a Creator, and for this reason, the Sabbath day, which commemorates God’s creative work, is rendered void in the minds of the people.
Years ago, a person was asked the question: “Which day is the seventh day of the week?” The reply was: It depends on where you start, meaning, that if you were to start on Saturday as your beginning point, Friday will become your holy day, and if you were to start on Monday then your holy day is Sunday. In the minds of most people, Monday is the first day of the work week, but in the Bible the first work day of the week is Sunday.
Thus, persons who follow the Biblical model would inevitably arrive at Saturday as the seventh day of the week, and conversely, those who understand Monday to be the first work day of the week will inevitably arrive at Sunday, as being the day to worship on. But The God of heaven has not left the inhabitants of earth in darkness upon this all-important point, because He has made it conspicuously clear, and the cryptic utterances, written in Revelation chapter 13 would absolutely converge around this point.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
