On February 5, 2026, Roman Catholic Cardinal Timothy Dolan posted a video calling for a revival of Sunday sacredness, urging a return to the days when no unnecessary work was done on that day. He called for Sunday to be set apart as a day dedicated to worshiping God and resting from ordinary labor. [1]
From a biblical and prophetic perspective, this is not a new call. History shows that in 321 A.D., civil authority was used to elevate Sunday observance, and Daniel 7:25 foretold a power that would “think to change times and law.” The issue is not merely about rest—it is about authority. Who has the authority to define the day of worship: God, who sanctified the seventh day at Creation, or human tradition, which exalted the first day of the week?
This call is not isolated. Across various religious circles—especially among many Protestants here in America—similar appeals are being made to restore Sunday as society’s uniform day of rest. While presented as spiritual renewal or family restoration, the larger prophetic question remains: What does Scripture say?
As God’s people, we are called to uphold “the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12). The First Angel’s Message calls the world to “worship Him that made heaven, and earth”—a direct reference to the Creator and the Sabbath commandment. The true biblical Sabbath, the seventh day, stands as a sign of God’s creative power and His authority.
The Third Angel’s Message warns against receiving the mark of the beast, highlighting a coming test of worship and allegiance. In contrast to movements seeking to restore Sunday as a sacred institution, God’s people are called to be restorers of the breach—uplifting the law of God and proclaiming the everlasting gospel.
“And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.” Isiah 58:12-14.
