“The enforcement of Sunday-keeping on the part of Protestant churches is an enforcement of the worship of the papacy—of the beast” (Great Controversy, p. 448).
When Protestant churches promote and enforce Sunday worship as a mandated day of rest and reverence, they are upholding a tradition that originates not from Scripture, but from the authority of the Papacy. The Bible clearly identifies the seventh day, Saturday, as the true Sabbath instituted by God at Creation and reaffirmed in the Ten Commandments. By substituting this with Sunday—a change the Catholic Church openly claims as a mark of its authority—Protestant churches are effectively lending their support to the authority of Rome, fulfilling the prophetic warning of Revelation that speaks of all the world wondering after the beast.
It is not only Protestant churches that have played a role in promoting Sunday observance. The mainstream media has also become a powerful force in shaping public sentiment toward Sunday rest. Through public advocacy in news coverage, entertainment, and opinion pieces, the media has helped normalize the idea of Sunday as a universal day of rest, often framing it as beneficial for health, family, and society. This carefully crafted narrative supports the papal agenda by reinforcing Rome’s mark of authority—Sunday sacredness. As a result, the media has become a key ally in advancing the cause of the papacy, conditioning the public to embrace a form of worship that stands in opposition to the clear commandments of God.
On May 8, 2025, MSN News published an article titled “140+ Best Happy Sunday Messages for Friends and Loved Ones,” openly promoting Sunday as a sacred day for spiritual renewal and reconnection with God and others. The article presented Sunday as a time for restoration, peace, and divine connection—yet notably, it offered no biblical evidence to support the sanctity of the day. Below is a summary of some of the postings shared by MSN News, which, unfortunately, appear to be a desperate attempt to persuade people to honor Sunday despite the absence of any scriptural foundation.

Despite offering over 140 suggestions on how to honor Sunday—from rest and family time to worship and social engagement—the media fails to provide even a single Bible verse that designates Sunday as the divinely appointed day of rest. This isn’t news, it’s an indoctrination exercise based on grave errors, and if we accept them, the devil will take control of our minds.
“Error is never harmless. It neversanctifies, but always brings confusion and dissension. It is always dangerous. The enemy has great power over minds that are not thoroughly fortified by prayer and established in Bible truth” (Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 292).
For years, Sunday has been praised by the media in countless articles, broadcasts, and lifestyle pieces as the ideal day for renewal and reflection; yet, the only thing in common with these so-called reports is a glaring absence of scriptural support for such claims. On the other hand, the Bible consistently points to the seventh day, Saturday, as the true Sabbath, established by God at Creation and reaffirmed in the Ten Commandments. The media’s enthusiastic promotion of Sunday rest, without biblical backing, exposes a reliance on tradition over truth, steering society toward a man-made standard of worship rooted not in Scripture, but in the authority of the papacy.
Today, the world has sanctified the first day of the week and is participating in a fraud, a lie, a deception. Millions believe that Sunday is the day of rest, but as long as God endures, as long as His word is true, and as long as the earth remains, the seventh-day Sabbath is a rebuke to all those who are worshiping on the wrong day.

Astonishing, how laodacean God’s people are. The 7 churches of Revelation, watch, pray, strengthen the things that remain. He that has an ear hear what the Spirit says to the churches. There are tangible hooks to hang our faith on, yet we sleep. Put all the peices together map them through Daniel and Revelation, The whole word of God, the SOP, THE ten virgins are applicable, the laodacean church is applicable… yet we sleep! All the hidden sins in the church being exposed, yet many double down and sleep, that there is sin in the camp and call for repentance, yet we double down and sleep… ecumenism is ripe in our mist yet we sleep. Mammon the sin of the last days, feelings, love, love, compromise, oh I am good with God(laodacean s) repent, overcome, come out of babylon, if we are not informed, honestly praying for God to show us our state before him, to fill us with His Spirit, to be honest in our heart, there is nothing more God can do for us. We must all surrender all and walk not in our ways, not picking and choosing, how, when, where, who God uses to wake us up. Pray with every fiber wake us up Lord! The masses are being conditioned. The seeds are being planted, we know the fruit they will bare… serve God or serve baal, choose this day whom you will serve.
Sunday is the first day of the week:
“4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. ” Genesis 1:4-5 KJV
Sunday sacredness is an invention of man. The only day God blessed and sanctified is the 7th Day Sabbath:
“1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. ”
Genesis 2:1-3 KJV
All these are desperate efforts to rebuild the ‘tower of babel’, or any historic regime who attempted to conquer the whole world, like babylon. They all failed because there is a God in Heaven who is in control. Likewise, this attempt to exalt man as a savior will come to nought. Come out of her my people! And worship the one True God, who createdthe heavensand the earth, and set His sign or seal on the 7th Day and called it the sabbath:
“Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. ”
Revelation 14:7 KJV
“2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. ” Revelation 18:2-8 KJV
