Don't follow the majority, follow God's Truth.
Majority or Minority? In the days of Noah, who had the truth? The majority or the few? It was the few, as only 8 people were saved from the flood.
Majority or Minority? When Elijah was on the mount with 450 “prophets” of Baal, who had the truth? The majority? No, only ONE PERSON had the truth amongst 450!
Majority or Minority? When the king of Babylon issued a decree for all to bow to the golden image, and Daniel's three friends refused. Who was in the right? The majority who did bow down and conform to the state, or the minority who didn't? The minority were right!
Majority or Minority? When the command was given during the reign of king Darius to not pray to God for thirty days, were the majority who went along with that decree in the right, or the minority? Yet again, the minority were right. When one man Daniel continued to do what was right and prayed to God.
Majority or Minority? During the days of Jeremiah the prophet of God. Did the majority have the truth or the minority? The minority!
Majority or Minority? During the time of Jesus Christ, who had the truth? The majority or the few? Yes, you guessed it, the few!
Majority or Minority? During the dark ages, when the Roman Catholic Church ruled the then known world. Who had the truth? The majority within the “visible church”, or the few scattered around the world, reading and following the scriptures? Yes, the few!
Majority or Minority? During the dark ages, how many kept the “true Sabbath”? And today the majority still keep Sunday which came from sun and Satan worship in Babylon!
Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority in terms of God's Word, it's time to reform..!!!
Proverbs 14:12, "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."
Matthew 7:13-14, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
This passage, Colossians 2:16-17, is one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible. One principle of Bible interpretation is that you do not allow what may be somewhat unclear to keep you from doing what you understand. The Bible teaching on the Sabbath is plain. It was given at Creation (Genesis 2:1-3). Jesus observed it (Luke 4:16). Paul observed it (Acts 13:42-44), and it will be observed in heaven (Isaiah 66:22-23). The Bible mentions two kinds of sabbaths: the seventh-day Sabbath and the yearly sabbaths. The seventh-day Sabbath, instituted at Creation and part of the Ten Commandment law, is a weekly reminder of the loving, all-powerful Creator.
The yearly sabbath relates specifically to the history of Israel. Colossians 2:16-17 specifically states, “Let no one judge you . . . regarding . . . sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come.” Hebrews 10:1 connects the law of shadows with animal sacrifice. Ezekiel 45:17 uses the exact same expressions in the exact same order as Colossians 2:16-17, and connects it all with the ceremonial systems of feasts and sacrifices (meat offerings, drink offerings, feasts, new moons, and sabbaths, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel. Leviticus 23:5–32 discusses the ceremonial sabbaths (Passover, verse 5; unleavened bread, verse 6; sheaf of first fruits, verse 10; first fruits, verse 17; trumpets, verse 24; and the Day of Atonement, verses 27–32; these are all specifically called sabbaths.)
These annual sabbaths were intimately connected to events foreshadowing Christ’s death and His second coming. They were designed by God to be shadows or pointers to the coming Messiah. Leviticus 23:37 uses the language of Colossians 2:16-17 to describe these ceremonial sabbaths. Leviticus 23:38 distinguishes the ceremonial sabbaths from the seventh-day Sabbaths by using the expression, “ ‘Beside the sabbaths of the Lord.’ ” Since Christ has come, the shadowy sabbaths of the ceremonial law have found their fulfilment in Him. The Sabbath continues to lead us back to the Creator God who made us. God’s people will keep it as a distinguishing sign of their relationship to Him (Revelation 14:12; Ezekiel 20:12, 20).
Good Morning. Thought for the day.
"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also" (John 14:3). To His faithful followers, Christ has been a daily companion, a familiar friend. They have lived in close constant communion with God. The time of tarrying is almost ended. The pilgrims and strangers who have been seeking a better country are almost home. "Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless" (2 Peter 3:14).
Blessed Sabbath.

Blessed Sabbath.
SUNDAY is not the 7th day of the week. Creator God commanded us to keep the Sabbath (7th day) holy (Exodus 20:8-11; Hebrews 4:9). It is God's holy day, because in it, He had rested; blessed, and sanctified it (Genesis 2:1-3). The law of men will require of us to keep Sunday holy. Their reason for the implementation of this law will be "to solve the crime, poverty, injustice, etc., problems." But don't be deceived, for they are exalting their law above the law of God. It is written, "we ought to obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29). God will use the Sunday Law, when it is pass, to test the loyalty, towards Him, of all those who are alive.
God always tells us the truth, but Satan always contradicts, with a lie. IN THE BEGINNING, God told Adam, "if you eat from that tree, you shall surely die." Satan said, "no, you shall not surely die." (Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:2-5). TO END this controversy between good and evil, there will be a final test. God blessed and sanctified the 7th day (Saturday), and commanded us to keep it holy; but Satan, through his agents in the earth, will FORCE (Revelation 13) all to keep the 1st day (Sunday) holy. But to disobey God is destruction and death, and to obey Him is life eternal. Who will you obey? Who will you give your allegiance to?
IT IS MAN-MADE.
Sunday Worship has never been in the Bible has never been holy has never been set apart by God so that you can keep it as your day with him this is nonexistent in the Bible and that’s what it all comes down to, it is not written. I have looked for it but I have not found it. In light of all this when you look at history the Catholic church is the one that claims to have changed it.
HERE IS THE PROOF: This is a quote from the Catholic Church herself speaking this is what she says concerning Sunday,
"SUNDAY is founded, NOT OF SCRIPTURE, but ON TRADITION, and IS DISTINCTIVELY A CATHOLIC INSTITUTION. As there is NO SCRIPTURE for the transfer of the FIRST DAY of REST to the LAST to the FIRST DAY of the week, PROTESTANT all to keep their Sabbath on Saturday and the leave Catholics in full possession of SUNDAY" (—Catholic record, September 17, 1893)
Interestingly enough and Daniel 7:25 says the same thing that the Catholic Church is saying. And According to the book of Revelation, you must keep the sabbath (Revelation 14:6-7).
This is Jesus calling out to you and me. And this is what this message is about. To stop keeping Sunday and return to the Word and keep the Sabbath so that you can be rich in the truth of the Bible. Jesus is calling you and me by name because He is coming back soon. He is calling all of us to obey all the Ten Commandments which includes the Sabbath law.
Happy Blessed Sabbath Everyone.
One of the stories in the Bible that proves the Sabbath is Saturday is about Jesus' death and resurrection.
“Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb” (Luke 24:1-2).
This story relates the story of Jesus’ followers going to His tomb to finish the sad work of anointing His body for burial. With the Sabbath closing in on them the day before, these women hadn’t had time on Friday to anoint the Lord immediately after His death. Earlier verses confirm that “they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment” (Luke 23:56). Even in their grief, they honoured Jesus by keeping all His commandments, including the Sabbath.
There are four more passages that refer to the resurrection of Jesus and are similar in nature to the verses above. They are …
2. Matthew 28:1
3. Mark 16:1-3
4. Mark 16:9
5. John 20:1
These verses confirm that Jesus rested in the grave on Saturday and appeared to His disciples in the morning on the first day of week.
The Sabbath will be observed for eternity.
God will preserve Sabbath-keeping throughout eternity. That’s right! “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord” (Isaiah 66:22-23).
The Sabbath is so precious to God that He will have His people observe it throughout all time in heaven and the new earth to come. If it is so precious to Him, should it not be precious to us? If we are going to keep it throughout all eternity, we have to start right now as we grow in Christ and are willing to obey all His commandments including the Sabbath one.
Don't forget the sabbath lyrics.
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome
Blessed Sabbath day
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome
Blessed Sabbath day
Don't forget the Sabbath, the Lord our God hath blest
Of all the week the brightest, of all the week the best
It brings repose from labor, it tells of joy divine
Its beams of light descending, with heavenly beauty shine
Keep the Sabbath holy, and worship Him today
Who said to His disciples, "I am the living way;"
And if we meekly follow our Savior here below
He'll give us of the fountain whose streams eternal flow
Day of sacred pleasure! Its golden hours we'll spend
In thankful hymns to Jesus, the children's dearest Friend
O gentle loving, Savior, how good and kind Thou art
How precious is Thy promise to dwell in every heart!
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome
Blessed Sabbath day
Welcome, welcome, ever welcome
Blessed Sabbath day
