Thus he said, the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most high, and shall wear out the saints of the most high, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time (The Lord has clearly defined the road to the city of God; But the great apostate has changed the signpost, setting up a false one –A spurious Sabbath. He says: “I will work at cross-purposes with God. I will empower my delegate, the man of sin, to take down God’s memorial, the seventh day Sabbath. Thus I will show the world that the day sanctified and blessed by God has been changed. That day shall not live in the minds of people. I will obliterate the memory of it I will place in its stead a day bearing not the credentials of heaven, a day that cannot be a sign between God and his people. I will lead the people who accept this day, to place upon it the sanctity that God placed upon the seventh day. Through my vicegerent I will exalt myself. The first day shall be extolled, and the protestant world shall receive the spurious Sabbath as genuine. Through the non-observance of the Sabbath God instituted. I will bring his law into contempt. The words, ‘A sign between me and you throughout your generations, ‘I will make to serve on the side of my Sabbath. Thus the world will become mine. I will be ruler of the earth, Prince of the world. I will make the observance of the seventh day a sign of disloyalty to the authorities on earth. Human laws shall be made so stringent that men and women will not dare to observe the seventh-day Sabbath. For fear of wanting food and clothing, they will join will the world in transgressing God’s law; and the earth will be wholly under my dominion.” The man of sin has instituted a false Sabbath, and the professed Christian world has adopted this child of the papacy, refusing to obey God. Thus Satan leads men and women in the direction opposite of the city of refuge: and by the multitudes that follow him, it is demonstrated that Adam and Eve are not the only ones who have accepted the words of the wily foe. The enemy of all good has turned the signpost round, so that it points to the path of disobedience as the path of happiness. He has insulated Jehovah by refusing to obey a “thus saith the Lord.” He has thought to change times and laws.-RH April 17
