What is the connection between the Covid-19 epidemic and Sunday? Well, apparently everything. According to some, the best way to contain the Covid virus and end the pandemic is by imposing Sunday rest. This is what just happened in Quebec, Canada, on December 31, 2021. This is how the Sunday movement will continue to gain momentum. The more Sunday rest is mandated around the world, the more important Laudato Si’, the Pope’s climate encyclical, becomes. When the Sunday rest movement becomes universal, the deadly wound will be completely healed, and Rome will once again be the universal spiritual head of the world.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported that François Legault, the 32nd Premier of Quebec, along with Health Minister Christian Dubé, announced new health mandates that took immediate effect on Friday, December 31, 2021. The new restrictions are as follows:
“Quebec is once again imposing a curfew in an effort to curb the spread of the highly contagious Omicron variant, as well as closing restaurant dining rooms, delaying the reopening of schools and closing non-essential businesses on Sundays.” [1]
This is how the state protects the common good of all people: by recognizing Sunday rest as the solution to the ever-growing pandemic and the weakening economy. Those who refuse to comply with the new health mandates in Quebec face fines ranging from $1,000 to $6,000 per violation. [1] Government officials in Quebec have just criminalized on Sunday what is perfectly legal on every other day of the week. Thanks to the Covid pandemic, those going out on Sunday looking to engage in what is deemed by officials as “nonessential” will be criminally prosecuted and fined.
Welcome to “Year Three,” the third year of the “Great Reset,” in which Sunday is considered far superior and far more sacred than any other day. All Sunday restrictions and Sunday rest provisions are steps in that direction. There is a campaign underway to recognize Sunday rest as a tool for resolving our environmental, economic, and spiritual problems. This is what “Laudato Si” in action looks like. Unfortunately, there are enough misguided politicians committed to making Sunday rest a legal requirement through coercive health regulations or by any other means. These men are completely oblivious to the notion that they are about to create the world’s greatest disaster during the mark of the beast crisis.
We must do everything we can right now to speak out against the Sunday rest movement, which is exploiting the pandemic to establish Sunday as the uniform day of rest for the world. There is absolutely no link between Sunday rest and Covid-19, but Pope Francis claims there is, and for most people, that settles the question in their mind. And how will society embrace Sunday rest? Through the police power of the state. Non-essential work on Sunday is being shut down by force through the strong arm of the state. Soon, all labor will be stopped on Sunday. What we are seeing with our own eyes is how world events are aligning with Bible prophecy.
So, what’s next? History shows that whenever Sunday is exalted, what follows is that the seventh-day Sabbath, Saturday, the true Lord’s Day, is suppressed. The rest that comes from keeping the Sabbath is not a civil rest, but a spiritual rest. For any human government to legislate on the matter of a weekly day of rest is to assume the power and authority that belongs solely to God. Whenever politicians enact Sunday rest measures, they are stepping into the realm of God, which they have no right or authority to do. These are matters that belong to the Creator. This is why all of these Sunday rest laws should be repealed rather than enforced.
“Protestantism shall give the hand of fellowship to the Roman power. Then there will be a law against the Sabbath of God’s creation, and then it is that God will do His ‘strange work’ in the earth” (Bible Commentary, Vol. 7, p. 910).
“Protestants are following in the steps of papists. Nay, more, they are opening the door for the papacy to regain in Protestant America the supremacy which she has lost in the Old World … It is the spirit of the papacy—the spirit of conformity to worldly customs, the veneration for human traditions above the commandments of God—that is permeating the Protestant churches and leading them on to do the same work of Sunday exaltation which the papacy has done before them” (Great Controversy, p. 573).

The Sunday mandate is creeping upon us like the dark of night! It seems that Adventists are so busy telling people that the pandemic is not the mark of the beast, they are over looking the fact that it is being used to pressure people to take off and close their businesses on that day (Sunday). Sneaking, but, getting the point across. Why couldn’t they take off on Saturday, or any other day of the week? NO, it HAS to be Sunday!!!
We should have always known that the national Sunday law would start out as just a good idea to save energy, etc. It would have never flown if it was “in our face” a mandate to “worship” on that day. Canada is a heathen country for the most part. My husband was born and raised in Niagara Falls, New York. He knows first hand how un-christian the Canadians are. Many are French, and we know what France is like concerning Christianity! Remember the French Revaluation?
We as a people had better open our eyes to the facts of the day, and realize that this pandemic is just a stepping stone to enforcing the Sunday law. One day, it will be because of religious reasons! Many of our people and others, will be caught off guard, and it will come upon them like a thief in the night!!!
WAKE UP!!!
The SDA church supports vaccination, including the Covid19 injections. Here is the official policy:
“The Seventh-day Adventist Church places strong emphasis on health and well-being. The Adventist health emphasis is based on biblical revelation, the inspired writing of E.G. White (co-founder of the Church), and on peer-reviewed scientific literature. As such, we encourage responsible immunization/vaccination, and have no religious or faith-based reason not to encourage our adherents to responsibly participate in protective and preventive immunization programs. We value the health and safety of the population, which includes the maintenance of “herd immunity.”
We are not the conscience of the individual church member, and recognize individual choices. These are exercised by the individual. The choice not to be immunized is not and should not be seen as the dogma nor the doctrine of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.”
This statement was voted by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Administrative Committee in Silver Spring, Maryland, April 15, 2015.

I agree strongly with what you write most of the time. I share your concerns about how this Pope is a wolf in sheeps clothing? But as an evangelical Christian I have always worshipped on Sunday and observed it as the day of rest. I have SDA friends who understand and accept this.
John, are there any specific Scriptures that you know of that say the day of worship and rest was changed from the seventh day of Exodus 20: 8-11 to the first day of the week?
No and to imply that it was changed is not safe.

When God said to Adam and Eve thou shall not eat the tree of knowledge of Good and evil, when the time you eat you will surely die. And they eat so, we will all die, we are mortal. Now when God said remember the sabbath day to keep it Holy six day thou shall labor and do all your work but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God. So count it the word of God. Sabbath is sabbath, Sunday is Sunday. Don’t change the sabbath into Sunday. Isaiah 40:10 it’s says, the grass withereth the flower fadeth: but the word of God stand forever.
No matter how pious you are, and still you keep Sunday, you transgress the Law of God.
Dear brother John. I am writing this in love.
Your friends who “agree and understand” are doing you no favor.
It is one thing to “accept” your decision, but rather another to “understand” something that God has clearly marked out in His word as false worship.
Revelation 14 tells us, why keeping Saturday is of the utmost importance. I am not trying to judge you, rather help you understand what God’s requirements are, especially in the days we are living in.
You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free
God bless,
Hi brother John
The seventh day Sabbath (Saturday) was mandated by God at Creation. He will judge us when after Jesus returns. Here is something I tell my Pentecostal friend:
How are we saved?
We are saved by grace.
What is grace?
Our undeserved forgiveness of sin by the Lord.
What is sin?
Sin is the transgression of the Law?
What Law?
According to the New Covenant with Jesus, the Law will not save us, but it most assuredly will confirm us.
My friend says the 10 Commandments no longer need to keep the 10 Commandments.
Tell me, is it ok to have other gods than the Lord, make idols, take the Lord’s name in vain, not honour your mother and father, murder, commit adultery, steal, lie, covet what others have?
Obviously the answer is no. So why is it ok not to keep the seventh day Sabbath? Why do people only keep 9 of the 10 Commandments?
Don’t be mislead and don’t misunderstanding what the Bible is saying. THE Sabbath belongs to God and He only has one. Remember THE Sabbath day to keep It holy. So the question is who’s Sabbath are you keeping? Is it yours or your friends or is it God’s? My brother truth can always bear examination . Examine the word for your self

Yes it is true that the vaccine is not the mark of the beast according to scripture. It appears that the entire covid situation is or could be leading the world to accept the mark of the beast when it comes, but it will not be initiated from the top-down. Inspiration clearly says in Revelation 13:11-15 “111 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”
Read it carefully, it’s saying that they (the people) will make the image to the beast and give power to it. That’s enactment of laws regarding sunday. Question: Are people in America (the 2nd beast) asking for sunday laws? NO. Mandates about the vaccine or Sunday laws or anything else are not coming from the people – not yet – but eventually they will.
We are given some focusing information regarding this in the book The Great Controversy pg 594:
“And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils. The class that have provoked the displeasure of Heaven will charge all their troubles upon those whose obedience to God’s commandments is a perpetual reproof to transgressors. It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday sabbath; that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced; and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of the people, preventing their restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity. ”
As far as I can tell, people are not yet blaming God on a large scale for any of earth’s problems. No one is blaming God’s people yet either.
Stand-by, because it most definitely is coming, but let’s not be distracted by the noise of Covid and vaccine mandates – they are just paving the way for the real fulfillment of prophecy.
