On March 12, 2024, Her Campus published an article that encouraged everyone to start making Sunday their time for rest, relaxation, and reset. It urged us to follow the European model, which sees most businesses close on Sundays.
The article stated the following:
• “When I first moved to Europe to study abroad, I anticipated long weeks of excitement, with little time to rest. What I did not expect was the complete and utter aversion here to doing any sort of work on Sundays. I had previously heard of the stereotypical European weekends, a time for leisure away from work, but I had not truly understood the way in which certain cities seem to shut down entirely for a day of rest.” [2]
• “I initially found it very difficult to respect this day of doing nothing. I wanted to use Sundays as a time to go grocery shopping, do work at a café, or do any other sort of activity. However, with grocery stores and other shops closed, I was forced to fend for myself to figure out how to fill this day in other ways.” [2]
• “Initially, I resisted the break. Instead, I used Sundays to do everything that I could without anything being open. However, as my life grew busier, I learned to appreciate the European way of living by participating in this much-needed break.” [2]
• “Sundays became a quiet and peaceful day. With extremely busy weeks of school, homework, traveling, and other activities, it is highly important to give yourself grace and take breaks when you need them. This pre-established break once a week allows for a socially acceptable chance to do very little to absolutely nothing throughout the day.” [2]
• “I am not suggesting that every week you do absolutely nothing on Sundays (even though this is still perfectly respectable). I only urge you to take some of this European advice and incorporate it into your daily routine. Don’t live for school and work, and instead take the time to give yourself a day of resting, resetting, and transitioning into your next week.” [2]
You can see how people are being conditioned to gradually but surely accept the notion of having a weekly day of rest for society. Even though this article was written for the secular mind and in no way represents a call to revive religion in society, it is still a call to embrace Rome’s papal mark of apostasy, Sunday. People from all walks of life have a common goal: to restore Sunday as the traditional day of rest. Whether it’s the secular media, the churches, labor unions, or even college campuses, people are talking about reviving Sunday in society.
Without a doubt, efforts are being made to raise awareness of the need to provide individuals with much-needed time off from their regular routines, jobs, and schooling. The only problem is that the proposed solution that is being offered, Sunday rest by force, will bring us to the mark of the beast crisis.
“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).
