Fox News has described Charlie Kirk’s book, “Stop, in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life,” as a “manifesto,” implying that it is an agenda-driven blueprint intended to promote Sabbath observance as the means of restoring humanity and civilization. Karl Marx likewise authored a manifesto—The Communist Manifesto—which served as a revolutionary rallying call aimed at overthrowing the existing power structures. Like all manifestos, whether Kirk’s or Marx’s, radical and bold ideas are needed to move people into action by advancing a vision that seeks to fundamentally reshape the political and social order, ultimately influencing laws, states, and even global power structures.
Fox News published the following words taken from Charlie Kirk’s new book on the Sabbath:
• “The Sabbath is not merely a helpful tradition or a cultural relic—it is essential to the flourishing of the human soul,’ Charlie Kirk wrote.” [1]
• “I will show you how to incorporate it not as a weekly burger but as a life-giving rhythm that reorders your time, renews your mind, and restores your humanity.” [1]
• “Charlie Kirk wrote that the book ‘is not written for the religiously initiated alone. It is written for the exhausted parent, the anxious student, the burned-out executive, and the soul-numbed scroller,’ he wrote.” [1]
• “This is a manifesto against the machine of modern life. It is a call to war against the endless noise and ceaseless hurry that have slowly robbed you of your joy, your wonder, and your rest.” [1]
• “As America has abandoned the Sabbath, we have watched nearly every major marker of health—emotional, spiritual, communal—begin to fail,” he wrote. “We are more productive and less peaceful, more connected digitally and more isolated relationally. We are overstimulated, undernourished, distracted, discontent, and desperately lonely.” [1]
When Charlie Kirk’s book talks about the “Sabbath,” it is not tied to the biblical seventh day, Saturday. Instead, the word is used in a loose, general way that most readers naturally understand to mean any weekly day of rest, which in American Christian culture means Sunday. By keeping the definition broad and flexible, the book allows people to feel they are honoring the Sabbath without abandoning the Sunday traditions. In other words, the book teaches readers to consider Sunday rest as equally valid as the biblical Sabbath, making Sunday the preferable and expected choice for most people.
Kirk’s message is that the world is broken and that weekly rest—understood in a Judeo-Christian perspective—is the cure. This means that honoring the Sabbath is morally necessary for restoring what has been lost in society—family cohesion, mental health, work-life balance, and national identity. These arguments set up Sabbath observance as a political and legislative expectation. That is precisely what a manifesto does: it advances a vision intended to inspire collective action and political change.
When a major news outlet like Fox News describes a religious book about the Sabbath as a manifesto for the restoration of society, this revolutionary talk is meant to prepare the nation to adopt Sunday rest laws as the means to bring about pause and slowdown. Fox News is repeating the same Christian nationalist rhetoric that presents Sabbath observance as essential for spiritual renewal. The debate is no longer about whether the Sabbath is based on theology or personal convictions; no, the conversation about the Sabbath is now being shifted to the realm of political legislation, national identity, and mandatory observance. This opens the door to a debate over Sunday rest laws, laying the groundwork for the future mark of the beast.

Amen!
We are not to judge anyone or any man’s intentions or motives, this is God’s work not ours.
As much as he claims, we don’t know the man!
Let us stop behaving like we do!
Just because someone tells us how he or she lives or claims it, does not make it so. Or, these claims are not evidence that it’s the truth.
We know and should know better because the Holy Word of God tells us how we can know if a person is false or true, and in this case, a false or true prophet:
“15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? ”
Matthew 7:15-16 KJV
We are to look at their works and the results of their works; their works should bare the friuts of the Spirit, and in this case, it should lead people to the Truth and Righteousness:
“(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) ”
Ephesians 5:9 KJV
Also, there is ample evidence!
It is sad to see the elect of God coming up with imaginings, to justify their desire to paint this man with good intentions, while ignoring the abundance of evidence God has revealed to us.
We are to stand only by the Principles in God’s Holy Word and not by our own wisdom or imaginations.
These developments are clear results of his work and this article makes it plain to see.
Yes, this remains me of Samuel Bachiochi’s book on the Sabbath it was unclear which day he meant, and afterwards the publishing company turned out to be the Vatican’s. 🤔
The bible prophecy of Daniel & Revelation must be fulfilled. The State/government will enforce people to worship the beast as its written in Rev. 13:11-18 The Religious system will not force people to worship because it has no mechanism of machinery/personnel or police force achieve target.
The State/Govt does have police force and all machinery to enforce Laws . But Rev.14;9-12 warns us not to accept the Mark of the beast by worshiping on a day made compulsory by Government because there is a hidden agenda in Sunday worship since was not even there in Eden when God created the World BUT was first introduced on Planet Earth by Constantine on 7th March 321 AD immediately after Jesus left the Earth around 31AD.
Satan is playing this movie behind the scene as he very much wants people to worship him. Remember Satan demanded Jesus should worship him(Satan) during temptations to Jesus in Luke 4:1-12 of which Jesus refused.
