On August 31, 2025, churches across the nation were invited to participate in Labor Day Sunday. This initiative, presented as an effort to honor workers and highlight the dignity of labor, is part of a national movement to unite churches under the common observance of Sunday. This was nothing more than the blending of religious worship with patriotic duty in an attempt to elevate Sunday as the sacred day of rest into our national consciousness.
The Labor Day Sunday movement emphasizes the following points on its website:
• “This August 31st, join faith communities across the country in celebrating the dignity of work, courageous entrepreneurship, and all who labor diligently with their God-given gifts.” [1]
• “By participating in Labor Day Sunday, your church will: Encourage and bless local business owners and workers, connect faith to daily work in a tangible way, shine a light on God’s purpose in labor, service, and creativity. [1]
• “Together, we can transform a long weekend into a community milestone.” [1]
• “Commit to Hosting—Let us know your church is celebrating Labor Day Sunday.” [1]
• “Celebrate & Share—Use prayers, scriptures, and resources in your service and invite your community to join in.” [1]
• “Join the Movement”—Church leaders across the nation are committing to this powerful moment. Will you join them?” [1]
• “Thank you for being part of this national movement to honor those building a better tomorrow for future generations of Americans.” [1]
While Labor Day is traditionally observed on the first Monday of September, churches have shifted the focus to Sunday in an effort to embed it into national life and present it as the divinely appointed day for rest and worship. The call to “commit,” “celebrate and share,” and “join the movement” is designed to create ecumenical solidarity through a shared Sunday worship service called Labor Day Sunday. Churches from a variety of denominations are setting aside differences and uniting on one point: Sunday rest. This type of ecumenical unity minimizes doctrinal differences and establishes Sunday worship as the unifying mark of Christian identity.
What is problematic about the Labor Day Sunday movement is that it cloaks Sunday observance in patriotic language. Churches are being told that by participating, they will be honoring “those building a better tomorrow for future generations of Americans” and that together they can “transform a long weekend into a community milestone.” In other words, Sunday observance is both a religious and patriotic duty. The mixing of faith and nationalism will pave the way for people to believe that Sunday observance is necessary in society for unity and prosperity. The goal is clear: make Sunday sacred and tie it to our national identity.
The Bible warns us that the time is near when “all the world wondered after the beast” (Revelation 13:3) and when “no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark” (Revelation 13:17). In contrast to this movement, the Bible identifies the seventh-day Sabbath as the true memorial of creation, the sign between God and His people: “Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations” (Exodus 31:13).
As the work to bring in the false Sabbath, Sunday rest, through the union of church and state, God is calling His people to lift up the everlasting gospel, to proclaim the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and to faithfully keep holy the day that He has sanctified—the seventh-day Sabbath.

Blue laws are laws that were enforced in the U.S to ban working activities on Sunday. These laws were purely put only for the religious reasons especially prohibting people working on sunday. There are countries in Europe such as Australia, Norway, Germany, Poland where stores are required to be closed on sunday. The supreme court of the United States have upheld the blue laws as constitutional despite their origin if supported by secular justifications. The prophecy of Revelation (13:11) says that the the lamblike beast of this chapter will cause the earth and that dwell in it will worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed.
The United States will lead the efforts to change the constitution through the congress which seperates the church and state affairs? The sunday observance will be demanded and agitated in America, just like the prophecy predicted.All the countries in Europe , church and state are all united, but that is not the case in the U.S. The sunday observance will be enforced in America which has been considered to be a citadel of civil and reigious liberty.The sunday sacredness is no longer agitated in the darkness but also in the broad day light. There will be only two classes of people in the christendom the sabbathkeepers and sunday keepers. The choice will depend on whether you will worship the creator or the men of high ranking authority.
