Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
The issue at stake for the remnant people of God is not really about not working on Sunday, or about if you preach or attend religious services on Sunday. It is about whether or not you would bow down to the powers that be, by working on, or violating the holy Sabbath that has been given to us in God’s law. The truths, and the issues pertaining to the mark of the beast and also to the true worship of God on His holy day should be clear cut in our minds.
There will be many side orders and distractions that would cause some folk to fret unnecessarily over a nothing burger, as the case might be. The three Hebrew worthies actually came up to the dedication of nebuchadnezzar’s golden image, for they had been commanded to do so, but that in and of itself did not constitute a violation of God’s law. The violations of God’s law would have occurred if they had bowed down to the graven image contrary to that which is clearly written in the Decalogue, if, under pressure, they had decided to go that route.
In closing, it is of critical importance for the you and me in the here and now to exercise and practice the faith of Jesus, by obeying God’s law, and trusting in Jesus implicitly. The little bow wows which occur in situations where we choose to work in secular fields just for the sake of some temporary gain, will eventually place us in a compromised position where we will become quite vulnerable to the assaults of the devil.
Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
