Back in January, we published an article about how Ken Ivory, a Republican member of the Utah House of Representatives and a contributor/author for the Project 2025 handbook, introduced a bill, HB-441, into the state legislature that would mandate time off on Sundays for rest and worship. [1]
It turns out that the bill was just approved by the House Business, Labor, and Commerce Committee in an 8-3 vote and is now awaiting a vote by the full House, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. On February 18, 2025, the following article titled “Lawmakers Advance Bill that Could Close More Utah Stores on Sundays” was published, and it expressed the following:
• “The Utah House is weighing a bill aimed at protecting franchises from opening on religious holidays or days of worship.” [2]
• “Sponsored by Rep. Ken Ivory, R-West Jordan, and a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, HB441 would expand on an initial proposal, outlined in a news release, that focused exclusively on protecting franchises from having to operate on Sundays.” [2]
• “The bill, advanced last week by the House Business, Labor and Commerce Committee in an 8-3 vote.” [2]
Sunday laws are real, Project 2025 is real, and real discussions and efforts are being proposed to secure Sunday as the day of rest through legislative enactments. It is only a matter of time before we begin to see similar proposals to secure the legal recognition of Sunday as the day of rest at the federal level.
“Sooner or later Sunday laws will be passed” (Review and Herald, February 16, 1905).
“Soon the Sunday laws will be enforced, and men in positions of trust will be embittered against the little handful of God’s commandment-keeping people” (Manuscript Releases, Vol. 4, p. 278).
There is no time to lose—God’s people must give the warning about the beast, his image, and the mark now, before the final crisis unfolds. Once the test comes, decisions will have already been made, and if we remain quiet, many souls will be unprepared. The warning must go out while hearts are still open to truth.
Truly, our world is moving towards the fulfillment of prophecy, and events are setting the stage for the enforcement of laws that will challenge the commandment of God. Now is the time to sound the alarm, to call people to obedience and faithfulness, and to urge them to stand firmly on God’s Word before the Sunday law deception and coercion sweep the world.
“Are we to wait until the fulfillment of the prophecies of the end before we say anything concerning them? Of what value will our words be then? Shall we wait until God’s judgments fall upon the transgressor before we tell him how to avoid them? Where is our faith in the word of God? Must we see things foretold come to pass before we will believe what He has said? In clear, distinct rays light has come to us, showing us that the great day of the Lord is near at hand, ‘even at the doors.’ Let us read and understand before it is too late” (Testimonies, Vol. 9, p. 20).
