Here, so-called music specialists train young people how to become formalized in music theory. They are laying the foundation for students to get a deeper understanding of the musical arts. And what is one of the so-called music theory resources? The belief that Sunday is the day of rest. That’s exactly what they are promoting.

The campaign to instill in the minds of society the necessity of designating Sunday as the universally recognized day of rest is advancing at a breakneck pace. Political governments, religious organizations, business sectors, social activists, educational systems, and even the major news media are all indoctrinating people with the wine of Babylon, which informs them that Sunday is a day of rest. Sooner or later, Sunday laws will be passed. This means we have work that has to be done that is years behind schedule.

“As we work with all our might, our trust must be in God. Sooner or later Sunday laws will be passed. But there is much for God’s servants to do to warn the people. This work has been greatly retarded by their having to wait and stand against the devisings of Satan, which have been striving to find a place in our work. We are years behind. God’s law is to be vindicated, by the obedience of heart and mind, and by strong arguments” (Review and Herald, February 16, 1905).
