My regular reader and sister in the faith Ula, who rarely comments here, wrote a comment that I thought worthy of pasting and with which I agree.

Peter, you brought up the subject of Sabbath-keeping and exposed yourself to criticism and even ostracism from pastors and scribes. This was bound to happen, for the Scriptures confirm us that Christians will be divided in the end times. You are not alone in your stance as a Sabbath-keeper. There are more and more teachings on the internet addressing the important issue of Sabbath celebration. I found a very good video on this subject, unfortunately it is all in English and is 2 hours long. The most important is the last 30 minutes
![[original] FROM BABYLON TO AMERICA: THE PROPHECY MOVIE](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5pQvM9ZY41k/hqdefault.jpg)
To make a long story short: The author of the film by studying Biblical prophecies and historical background starting from Babylon, points out the apocalyptic beasts. The first beast was the papacy lasting until the 18th century(the little horn) until it was dealt a blow. At this time the second horn was growing, the last power in the Book of Daniel, which is America, now the world's greatest political power, most economically and culturally influential. In Nabokadnezzar's dream, the statue's feet are a mixture of clay and iron to symbolize the unity of secular power (the state) with religious power. The second beast will be created by the merger of the U.S. state with the religious power derived from the papacy (the revived first beast). Like all earthly powers the American union of the state with the church will have a seal (=sign =mark), and this seal will be the celebration of Sunday, thus the old Babylonian sun worship will become the mark of the beast.
All who submit to the authority of such a power will be forced to worship the beast and obey his law by celebrating Sunday, the day of the sun = the day of the beast. In this way the beast will mark his property (his subjects). God's people, on the other hand, will keep God's seal, the Sabbath (as in Exodus 20:8-11 and Ezekiel 20: 12,20). Since the Sabbath was established for every person and not just the Jew all those who love God will fulfill all His commandments.
Why is this so important? Because even followers of other religions observe moral laws, like thou shalt not kill or commit adultery, but Only true Christians will be recognized by the fact that they keep the Sabbath in their minds (the seal on their foreheads) and make the Sabbath a day of freedomnny (seal on hand) while steadfastly believing in Christ.
On the 7th day we are to know the Creator and worship Him. With such a seal, God will recognize His people. God gave Moses the 10 Commandments on 2 tablets of stone. The first 4 commandments are spiritual laws that must be dutifully obeyed toward God (the Spiritual Kingdom of God). The remaining 6 commandments deal with laws toward other people (civil laws). Therefore, Jesus taught two overarching laws: love for God (Spiritual Kingdom of God) + love for neighbor (civil law). In Mark 12:14-17 we read that Jesus spoke of "giving to God what is divine and to Caesar what is imperial. Jesus was separating spiritual (religious) authority from secular (relating to the civil law of others) authority. In this sense, God controls religious authority, or the Spiritual Kingdom and Caesar, today the government (state) oversees state, secular authority. According to this principle, the church (spiritual authority) and the government (secular authority) are independent of each other. In the end times the American state-church union will subsume secular and spiritual authority (fusion, in Daniel a mixture of clay and iron).
The Book of Revelation says that the image of the beast will speak, which is to be understood to mean that it will establish its new laws contrary to God's laws, which its subjects will have to obey (e.g., buy-sell exchanges). The wrath of the Lord will fall upon all who obey the laws of the beast.

Thank you Ula. 🙂
I am slowly putting the puzzle together. It has been painful, but I will prove to you that a significant portion of the pastor community are Jesuit agents.
Note that at Trump's swearing-in there was a mass of clergy and charismatic circles blessing him.
Ja ostatnio obejrzałem na youtube wywiad z rabinem Finkelstainem z Nowego Jorku, że syjoniści założyli jezuitów, celem przeniknięcia i zawładnięcia kościołem katolickim (jeden z wielu wątków), a potem z jakimś jezuitą, ktory już nie żyje, który mówił, że ich zadaniem był ekumenizm, przeniknięcie do różnych odłamów chrześcijaństwa i przejęcie ich “od środka”.
Można by się z tym nie zgodzić, gdyby nie fakt, że to się dzieje…
In my humble opinion, there will be no official Jesus religion in the end times, because everyone will deviate into the beast. Only Scripture, only Jesus and let's stick to that 🙂 .
Wszystko się zgadza. Sporo rozmawiam z ludźmi na grupach na fb i święcenie szabatu jest bardzo atakowane zarówno przez katolików, jak protestantów i ŚJ oraz innych denominacji. Wszyscy są zgodni w tym temacie. 🙁 Zdecydowanie ci, którzy uznają siódmy dzień tygodnia za godny uświęcenia, idą dobrą drogą. ___” Pamiętaj o dniu szabatu, aby go uświęcić. Sześć dni będziesz pracować i wykonywać wszystkie twe zajęcia. Dzień zaś siódmy JEST SZABATEM KU CZCI PANA , Boga twego.’ (Wyjścia 20).
I agree with this approach completely. For only something that blatantly breaks a commandment of the Decalogue can be the mark of the beast.
Especially since the sign between the God of the Bible and the people is the Sabbath.
“Dałem im także szabaty, aby były ZNAKIEM między Mną a nimi, aby poznano, że Ja jestem Pan, który ich uświęca.”
Great text, it's a pity that the film is in English, maybe someone would like to translate it. I have only one small remark.
“tylko prawdziwych Chrześcijan będzie można rozpoznać po tym, że zachowują sabat w umyśle (pieczęć na czole) i czynią sabat dniem wolnym (pieczęć na dłoni) przy tym wytrwale wierząc w Chrystusa.”
The seal of God can only be on the forehead and represents a change of mind. The seal of evil can be on the forehead or the hand. The seal on the forehead represents consciously going after Satan, the seal on the hand represents compromise and keeping Sunday and pagan holidays holy. The seal of God cannot be on the hand because the servant of God cannot add anything to his salvation. And also because Yahweh God does not recognize compromise.
There is a chance for Polish subtitles.

They may not be super grammatically precise, but they always give you a better idea of the context 😉
Hello Charles, I would just like to add that the meaning of the seal on our hand was to point to our deeds, our actions, the actual Sabbath celebration. First God transforms our minds by making us aware of the need to honor the Sabbath (the symbolic seal on our foreheads) and then we seal our covenant with the Father by our own actions (the seal on our hand) by keeping all his commandments.
Ulu (a myślałem, że pisze się “Ulo” ale mi podkreśla jako błąd ;p)
Przymierze z Ojcem jest przypieczętowane krwią Mesjasza, nie naszymi czynami. To Boża łaska uzdalnia nas do przestrzegania Bożego prawa. Prawa Mesjasza, czyli Tory (taki żarcik sytuacyjny, odnośnie “nowego prawa mesjasza”) Gdybyśmy pieczętowali przymierze naszymi czynami to oznaczałoby to, że dokładamy coś do zbawienia. Spójrz na księgę Objawienia i zobacz, że słudzy Boży nie mają pieczęci na ręku, tylko na czole. Cieszę się, że głosisz przestrzeganie Bożego prawa, gdyż wielu jest synów bezprawia, którzy głoszą właśnie bezprawie i brak tory, wymyślając jakieś nowe prawo, które przyniósł im ich wymyślony jezus. Jednakże nie róbmy z szabatu i z naszych uczynków rzeczy, którymi możemy cokolwiek dołożyć do zbawienia.
Very wise words. Salvation is by grace, and if we have grace we WANT to be subject to the BIBLICAL God. Even recently a priest during a sermon said nicely: Let us not make (create) our own God according to our ideas. God is revealed to us in the Bible. You just have to study the scriptures with an open heart 🙂 .
Karolu drogi, sądzę, że teraz spieramy się trochę o język wypowiedzi, wg SJP PWN: “przypieczętowywać
1. "to end something finally or to do something as a sign of acknowledgment, completion of something"
2. «odcisnąć na czymś pieczęć”. Pisząc o przypieczętowaniu przymierza miałam na myśli pierwsze, niedosłowne znaczenie. Jeśli wyraziłam się nieprecyzyjnie i wprowadziłam cie w błąd to przepraszam. Człowiek jest zbawiony z łaski, przemieniony pod wpływem Duch Świętego rodzi dobre owoce. Takie owoce nie biorą się z niczego, są efektem naszych czynów. Czy nie po czynach ich poznacie? Jeśli ktoś kocha Boga Ojca to przynajmniej chce czynić dobrze. Poza tym Boże prawo, dekalog, jak już się zgodziliśmy, że nadal obowiązuje we wszystkich 10 przepisach, sądzi człowieka według jego uczynków, wiec będąc pod łaską ma znaczenie co i jak robimy. Nie chcę spierać się na “słówka” jak przemądrzali znawcy Biblii na forach. Jeśli napisałam źle bo brak mi poznania to proszę pomódl się za mnie. Razem wystartowaliśmy w biegu po zbawienie i niech Duch Boży prowadzi nas do mety.
Trump signed into law in 2017 some sort of let's call it law making Sunday a special day of prayer for the success of the nation (Sunday meetings, services, etc.).
Protestanci świętujący niedziele przestają być protestantami – jak to napisał kardynał Gibbons.
Protestants who celebrate Sunday are coming back under the authority of Rome whether they want to or not. This is how Gibbons' words can be translated.
I am interested in something else. The film is eminently Adventist and yes there are many aspects I agree with.
Who knows maybe something like a restrictive Sunday law will actually go into effect that will involve buying and selling restrictions for those who don't comply but how will they check it out.
The seal of the beast is supposed to be something tangible that involves something practical like buying and selling.
I am not convinced by the Adventist interpretation that here, for example, it is about symbolic buying/selling of some spiritual goods.
The current Sunday law in Poland applies mainly to multi-branch stores or marekts. Private sellers can safely open provided that they themselves stand behind the counter. This provision can be very easily circumvented by, for example, making a florist store in the store.
Yes, after 2020 there will be a complete ban on trading every Sunday, but we will see who it will affect.
If we look back, we can see that history is repeating itself. Something similar was in ancient Rome, where great importance was attached to the religiosity (in the sense of worship) of the citizens because it was supposed to be connected with the practical success of the empire.
A person could believe in any idol he wanted but he had to have some kind of worship, he had to be religious. At that time, people who did not worship were considered atheists, and such people were targeted because their attitude contributed to the fact that some misfortune might fall on the empire.
And who knows if such a Sunday law as Trump signed won't be a return to the times of Rome (after all, we have the Church of Rome as an heir to the traditions and beliefs of Rome). Anyone who does not keep Sunday will become a public enemy.
Question. Just how do they test it.
They will set up a Sunday militia ?
If your theory came true, it would be simple. Every Sunday you will have to go to church to worship the image of the beast. Already there they will scan your face and know who was and who wasn't 🙂 Technology is getting more and more advanced, and the beast will probably be only in a few years (maybe 10 years)
Otóż to, niestety… :/

I watched the video and it is nicely explained, especially for someone who is new to these topics. If someone wants I can translate this video.
What the maker of this film is talking about is a historical approach to Daniel and Revelation, and like the Adventists he focuses on the papacy as the antichrist. But I was curious about one comment under the film in which another brother in the faith sort of straightens out a viewpoint in the film that he thinks is wrong.
According to him (and I have encountered this view before) this beast and antichrist is to be Islam, and he also points to Turkey as the place where Satan's throne is, and as the enemy of Israel.
And by the way, the author of the film mentions Poland at the end, speaking in the context of these Sunday laws, that by 2020 all Sunday trading is to be stopped as an example that this is already happening before our eyes.
If it confirms me in anything it is the importance of keeping Shabbat holy.
Thank you for the addendum.
Tak, należy wziąć poprawkę, iz są to adwentyści a oni mają swoją interpretację nie literalno- symboliczną jak ja na dzień dzisiejszy np uważam, ale historyczno – symboliczną.
This is why one must be cautious and undogamous in studying the apocalypse.
I am also considering Islam. I have a text ready for several pages of A4, where I prove that the beast is Islam, but I consider other possibilities and for now I maintain that the beast is Zionism.
As it will be, time will tell.
On the other hand, looking at what is happening, and what I have described in the blog, and I am specifically referring to the rise of ecumenical temples, Islam will not rule, but co-rule.
These are difficult topics and will come out in the wash as the issue of pastors,m on which side they stand
Jak najbardziej sobota jest dniem odpoczynku, należy w tym dniu odpocząć, dosł. zaprzestać pracy. A co do pieczęci zbawionych, to Słowo Boże mówi: “…zostaliście zapieczętowani obiecanym Duchem Świętym”Ef 1,13 oraz “A nie zasmucajcie Bożego Ducha Świętego,którym jesteście zapieczętowani na dzień odkupienia” Ef4,30.
As you can see it is not Saturday that is the seal, but the Spirit of the Holy God within us.
It comes to one thing. The Spirit of God leads to obedience to God in all God's commandments of the Decalogue.
Zresztą człowiek “sam z siebie” raczej nie naraża się na pogardę, kpinę i niezrozumienie świętując sobotę gdy wszyscy świętują niedzielę. Tylko Duch Święty może do tego zachęcać. Ponieważ “sami nic uczynić nie możecie” powiedział Jezus 😉
Możesz nie kraść, nie kłamać, szanować rodziców, i być… buddystą. Ale jeśli przestrzegasz sobotę i pozostałych 9 przykazań, to musi być działanie Ducha Świętego którego przyjmujesz jako dar, bo tylko jeden Bóg stworzył świat w sześć dni, a siódmego odpoczął 🙂 A Duch Święty wprowadza we “wszelką prawdę” nie w 95% prawdy 😉
Ta nauka trąci adwentyzmem jak to zresztą zauważono; po pierwsze obecnie pieczęcią Bożą jest Duch Święty którego otrzymują wierzący w Ewangelię, po drugie o miłości do Boga świadczy wypełnianie wszystkich przykazań a nie tylko czterech, “Na tym polega miłość do Boga że przykazań jego przestrzegamy.”po trzecie z tym papierzem-antychrystem też chybione bo antychryst między innymi dokona sądu nad wszetecznicą ,gdyby to miał być biskup Rzymu to musiałby zniszczyć kościół którego jest głową a w taki scenariusz trudno uwierzyć.
Yes, Adventism, as I have noticed, sometimes stretches certain prophecies to suit itself.
Zreszta Alfred Palla bronił pracy DR u … księty z krk 🙂
Adventists like any other group of Protestants struggle with the spirit of religiosity and the various dogmas. If it were otherwise, Christians like us would not need to organize into home groups or meet at conventions because all God's truths would be available in the Adventist church. What I respect Adventists for in the first place is their excellent knowledge of the historical background of the Bible and their advocacy of keeping the 4th commandment. Where the majority of new born Christians see no obstacle in celebrating Sunday, and as you can see many pastors don't have such doubts either :), Adventists insist on keeping the 7th day of rest which falls on Saturday. Thanks to Adventists I started to practice Sabbath. Unfortunately, with all my sympathy for many Adventist pastors (especially the early lectures of Dr. Walter Veith are close to my heart), I am repelled by their adherence to human doctrines and their association with agents of Rome. Anyway, these were among the reasons Dr. Veith left the denomination.
Apropos the beginning of the video.
Zastanawialiście się jaki sens miało budowanie wieży Babel na Ziemi, przedstawianej wg. Kopernikowskiego modelu? Jak dla mnie – nie ma sensu :).
Najwyżej wybudowaliby poza atmosfere i podusili się z braku tlenu…banda idiotes 😉
There are two possibilities in such a case:
– albo Nimrod i spółka, kompletnie nie wiedzieli, że nad nimi jest takie coś jak kosmos
– Opis Babelu jest metaforą, i budowali oni statek kosmiczny.
Opcja numer dwa jest o tyle nieprawdopodobna, że w opisie czytamy, że wieżę budowali z ….wypalanych cegieł :D.
Zachęcam Cię Detektywie (oraz blogersów), do zbadania tematu stacjonarnej ziemi. Ja myślę, że jest to największe (jeśli chodzi o skalę) oszustwo diabła…
Just look at these passages of Scripture and judge for yourself
(Oczywiście dysonans poznawczy odegra tu główną rolę, także jeżeli ktoś nie jest w stanie odstawić programowania, które wtłaczane mu było od pszedszkola – tak już tam stoją globusy, a dzieci malują je na ścianach, to niestety tylko się oburzy).
What the Scripture says:
– Hiob 37:18:
(18) Can you stretch the heavens with Him, hard as a mirror of metal?
– Psalm 119:90:
(90) From nation to nation your truth; you have established the land, and it stands.
– Genesis 1:7:
And God made a span; and He made a separation between the waters that are under the span; and between the waters that are above the span; and it came to pass.
(sprawdźcie Hebrajskie slowo na “rozpostarcie” – oznacza twardy, wybity kształt, takim slowem opisywano zbrojarza wyklepującego pancerz (!!)

Rob Skib's website, your friend because he also prefers Saturday and clean pap.
Godspeed Seekers of Truth!
Let go of this subject of the shape of the Earth, it is not necessary for salvation although with this spaceship you made a good laugh and I laughed hehe 🙂 Rob Skiba hmmm some family to me maybe who knows hehe 🙂
Nie jest potrzebny do zbawienia Slawku, zgadzam się, ale zobacz jaki wprowadza zamieszanie…
If we seriously accept the model of a ball that flies around in an infinite universe, then there must be aliens somewhere.
A tak – mamy obieg zamknięty. Boga i JEGO “terrarium” wypełnione mrówkami – czyli ludźmi.
Many more people might believe in God if this issue was not lied about.
Oczywiście – nie wiem na pewno jak to jest, daj Boże, żebyśmy wytrwali i kiedyś na wielkim ekranie Pan Bóg pokazał nam prawdę o wszystkim (osobiście wierzę, że tak bedzie…)
I really recommend searching the Scriptures for where we live. The Bible is a flat earth book!
with God.
I recommend Tyho Brahe's geocentric model. At one time it was the best mathematically proven model, which was admitted by Copernicus himself.
With this model it was possible to predict eclipses of the sun, moon, movement of the planets and even the so-called retrograde (apparent) movement of the planets.
This model was very popular in Europe and what made it so popular was that on the one hand it was emphasized as being consistent with the Bible (earth at the center of everything) and on the other hand it worked in the scientific community because of the lack of observations of parallax of distant stars.
Shabbat to celebrate or not to celebrate and if so, whether on Saturday or Sunday? Let me use my own example to tell you how I see it. It has been over two years since I drowned my old self. Of course I am still struggling with the fleshly shell, which would like to take over every now and then, but this is a fight to the end of our days 🙂 So for two years I have not had a well established world view about the Sabbath. I freely admit that I was for and against it and I heard as many arguments for and against it. So what prevailed? What prevailed was a strange feeling of fear, tightness and heat in my heart and kind of questions flying through my mind. As I am a rapturous person (I still fight with it in 60% and win) I made a decision in my heart to celebrate the day appointed by God for rest, i.e. Saturday. And it was the right decision, and I was convinced of its rightness literally 5 minutes later when the accuser sent my ex-wife to my door. Spirituality triumphed and this miscreant attacked the physical and emotional side of my person. We had a cultural chat and she left. Unfortunately, the news she gave me caused a day-long breakdown, stress and weakness of the whole body. So, without further ado, I need to arrange for Saturdays off at work (I've only been working here for 6 weeks). I ask you to pray that I will finally open my mouth and that I will be able to push through with this. God bless!
Tagged with! I support you in prayer that you may rest with the Lord on his holy day. God is Great!
