On August 25, 2025, Pope Leo XIV addressed a gathering of French altar servers in the Vatican Apostolic Palace. In his remarks, he extolled the importance of the Eucharist, calling it “the treasure of the Church, the treasure of treasures.” He also emphasized that the Church has celebrated Mass “Sunday after Sunday” and declared that the Sunday Eucharist is what will save the world. The Pope was not merely speaking to Roman Catholics. He is seeking to save the world, and in doing so, he elevated Sunday observance as the universal practice necessary to bring salvation to everyone.
The Holy See Press Office published the Pope’s address, where he stated in part:
• “The Eucharist is the treasure of the Church, the treasure of treasures. Ever since the very first day of her existence, and then throughout the centuries, the Church has celebrated Mass, Sunday after Sunday, to remember what the Lord has done for her.” [1]
• “The celebration of Mass saves us today! It saves the world today! It is the most important event in the life of the Christian and in the life of the Church, because it is the encounter in which God gives himself to us for love, again and again.“ [1]
When Pope Leo XIV declared that celebrating Mass “Sunday after Sunday” is what saves the world, his words were calculated—meant to apply not only to Catholics but to people of all faiths. This is exactly what the book of Revelation foretells about Babylon, the harlot woman, and the beast—symbols that point to the Papacy.
Revelation 17 says that the great harlot sits upon many waters, which represent “peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues” (Revelation 17:15). She commits fornication with “the kings of the earth” (Revelation 17:2), meaning she gains the attention, respect, and allegiance of world leaders. Revelation 18:3 says, “For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication,” which shows that Rome’s doctrines have had global reach and influence.
By claiming that Sunday worship is the act that “saves the world,” the Pope is positioning the papal system as the global voice of authority, offering his vision of what the world needs. Bible prophecy portrays the Papacy as a power that extends its influence into the political, social, and economic realms of the world. This aligns precisely with Revelation’s description of an apostate universal power that will cause “all that dwell upon the earth” to wonder after the beast (Revelation 13:3–4).
It is a great tragedy that Protestants are no longer protesting the ambitions and claims of the modern-day papacy. The very movement that once stood firmly upon the Bible has now grown silent—or worse, has begun to embrace the very institution it once identified as Antichrist. Instead of lifting their voices against the exaltation of human tradition above God’s commandments, many Protestant leaders now seek unity with Rome at any cost. In abandoning their protest, modern Protestantism has not only betrayed its history but has also left millions unguarded against the final deception that is soon to sweep the world.
Soon, all nations will be faced with the decision: to worship the Creator in spirit and truth, honoring the Sabbath He sanctified, or to yield to the beast power by accepting Sunday as the false universal day of worship. The outcome of this choice will determine the final destiny of the world. We will either receive the seal of the living God, a sign of obedience to God’s commandments, or the mark of the beast, the monument of Papal apostasy that has become a worldwide symbol of rebellion and defiance to the Creator.
“The Sabbath will be the great test of loyalty; for it is the point of truth especially controverted. When the final test shall be brought to bear upon men, then the line of distinction will be drawn between those who serve God and those who serve him not. While the observance of the false sabbath in compliance with the law of the State, contrary to the fourth commandment, will be an avowal of allegiance to a power that is in opposition to God, the keeping of the true Sabbath, in obedience to God’s law, is an evidence of loyalty to the Creator. While one class, by accepting the sign of submission to earthly powers, receive the mark of the beast, the other, choosing the token of allegiance to divine authority, receive the seal of God” (Great Controversy, p. 604).

We know that Sunday observance is the child of the papacy, and it’s based on traditions and not the plain God’s word. Therefore Pope Leo XIV, Says ; that sunday observance will save the world . But the Scriptures tells us the otherwise? If you read the book of Isaiah 24:5 ,the world is defiled because of transgression because of defying God’s law ?(Ten commandments). Sunday observance and breaking of the ten commandments has caused suffering on the earth, and this will lead to the seven last plagues as a result of disobedience of Jehovah’s law. So, Pope Leo XIV ,is deceiving the world to honour sunday as the day of worship and also to partake the Eucharist.
“…because it is the encounter in which God gives himself to us for love, again and again.“
People wakeup! Christ is not dying for us over and over again. This is a lie, and any tradition based on a lie is a deception. Christ died for us once and for all:
“10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. ”
Hebrews 10:10-14 KJV
“6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. ” Romans 6:6-11 KJV
“11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. ” Titus 2:11-14 KJV
“4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. ”
Titus 3:4-7 KJV
Yes, the Sabbath. But show me ONE place in the entire Bible where an individual was tested on the DAY (even those captive in literal Babylon). Joshua, Elijah, 3 Hebrew men, Daniel – all were tested on WHOM to worship, not when. No mention of Sabbath in Daniel or Revelation. Rev14v7 is a call back to worship God as ONE Person; but SDAs skip right over that part, hardly noticing “him” & “his “, just launch right into the “Sabbath” part.
There will be more to the NSL than simply which day; Ellen White said “The mark of the beast is exactly what it has been proclaimed to be. Not all in regard to this matter is yet understood nor will it be understood until the unrolling of the scroll.” – 6T 17 (1900). She & the other pioneers did NOT believe in a trinity. (And calling “Godhead” three persons is not what Acts17v29, Romans1v20, & Colossians 2v9 say, by a long stretch.)
We have lost sight of who God is. Jesus said it in John17v3: “And this is life eternal, to know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.” He, him, his, thou, thy, thine in any language are singular & refer to ONE person. Father & His only BEGOTTEN Son. We are all BEGOTTEN of our parents. The Son of God was BEGOTTEN of the One True God, He is not a member of a group of three. God will not bring people into SDA while there is division & most do not know who God is.
Amen! We are living in the time of trouble! Daniel 11:45 was fulfilled over 100 years ago at the end of WW1, when the Ottoman empire came to their end and no one helped. We have been born into the ToT so we know not what peace on earth means. Let us not wait for the sign in the holy land before we engage in true worship. We must be prepared now! The Son of the Almighty God presses us forward to truth, for he is the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Ghost.
1John 5, 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
