Sunday was introduced into the church through apostate bishops in the first century, along with other traditions and forms of sun worship. These practices grew until such time as they were enforced by the church. Sabbath keepers, who were by far in the majority outside of Rome and Alexandria...

These apostates not being content with so much of the sun worship as appeared in the celebration of the mysteries, adopted the heathen custom of worshiping toward the East. So says the history: -- "Before the coming of Christ, all the Eastern nations performed divine worship with their...

To Sol Deus invictus —the sun, the unconquerable god—were attributed the world-wide conquests of the Roman power. The greatest and most magnificent temple that ever was built on earth, except only that built by Solomon, was erected by Antoninus Pius, emperor of Rome, at Baalbek, in honor of the...

After the death of Solomon, the ten tribes separated themselves from Judah and Benjamin, and under the kingship, and by the direction, of Jeroboam, established a false worship through the two golden calves copied from Egypt, one of which was placed in Bethel and the other in Dan. Each of the...

Sun worship. Not a lost art. The almost numberless forms of sun worship were practiced in Canaan. In the practice of these fearful abominations they had so corrupted themselves that in the expressive figure of the Scripture, the very earth had grown so sick that it was compelled to vomit out...

Yes. That is precisely what I mean.

There @Triumph1300 that's where I got it from. Its standard Catholic dogma. No Pope. No salvation. Catholicism is now, and always has been coerced or forced submission to Papal authority. At the present time, the Vatican doesn't have the political clout, at least not in America or other western...

All this he had taught the Thessalonians when he was there with them, and therefore reminded them, in the 5th verse, "Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?". Then, having recalled to their minds the fact, he simply appeals to their knowledge, and says...

They were an evil power. A persecuting power. A pagan power. A sun worshipping power. But the Christian Church knew precisely who they were dealing with. There was no deception involved. Everyone knew that pagan Rome was an enemy to be feared. But the power that would replace Rome? Jesus warned...

I think it is in that Paul and the early church was living under that beast and discussing the inevitable appearances of the horns that will replace it... Especially that pesky little horn. So the identity of that beast bears a direct testimony to our understanding of the identity of the horns...

Do you have an alternative to the identity of the 'terrible beast' of Daniel 7 other than Rome?

Restrained by a local power, pagan Rome, but above and beyond the will of God being established in order to protect His church until they were better established and better equipped to recognize, and resist the impending apostasy.

As moderator, I suggest you keep a wary eye on proceedings.

Interesting observation. The dichotomy of the lamb like beast which speaks as the dragon. The nation that rose up quietly from the land as opposed to the empires of Daniel which rose from the sea... The lamb like nation rising up without predation (comparatively speaking) in an area without...

I would suggest that the law, Torah, is a protective hedge about God's people, eg Mark 12:1. Isaiah 58 speaks of those of God's people who are repairers of the breech; restorers of paths to dwell in. These are I believe those who uphold God's laws making them honorable. Jesus of course was the...

Amen.

Some believe that the USA isn't mentioned in scripture. Before the US came into existence, Bishop Newton quoted Isaac Newton who wrote extensively on eschatological matters, and with no small amount of wisdom. This particular quote I found particularly insightful... There is some debate as to...

Been studying? Don't you mean you've seen the movies, "Left Behind"?

And you're calling him cutie. This is getting awkward.

@Ziggy don't believe everything you hear, especially from the government. Nothing, I repeat, nothing is as it seems. The forces at work in the Hegelian conflict of the world today in battle to rule the world religiously and politically, are religious forces. To ignore, set aside, or bury this...
