A French Retail Company is Ordered to Close 31 Shops on Sundays After TRADE UNIONS Appeal (January 2012)
"FEC FO and the unions of employees and managers of commerce sector from Val d'Oise and from Paris referred the BRICORAMA case to the Pontoise Court. After this action, BRICORAMA was sentenced by the court to close 3 shops in Paris and 28 shops in Ile de France on Sundays. Otherwise Bricorama would be obliged to pay a fee of 30.000Euros by day of misconduct."
Notice how it is the TRADE UNIONS who got involved with this and caused this action! And what did Ellen White say? ... "The trades unions will be one of the agencies that will bring upon this earth a time of trouble such as has not been since the world began." (E.G.White, Last Day Events, p.116)

The "Sabbath" to Make a "Comeback" in 2012 in America (January 2012)
Faith leaders were asked for predictions for 2012. Look at one of the things that was stated ...
"Sabbath becomes trendy! Fourth Commandment makes a comeback! Sabbath named Time’s person of the year! A new movement sweeps the country. They call themselves 24/6. Worn out by being tethered to the grid 24/7, sick of being accessible all hours of the day, inundated by updates, upgrades, and breaking news, AMERICANS FINALLY REBEL, DEMANDING, "WE NEED A DAY OFF." People all over the country go offline for 24 hours every week. The simple break from the frenetic pace results in lowered cholesterol rates, fewer speeding tickets, and a reduction in marital strife. Peace, tranquility and contentment spread like wildfire."
This "sabbath" as we know will be Sunday!

Churches and Unions Say No to Sunday Workday in Dominica (December 2011)
Here we have the Association of Evangelical Churches, the Roman Catholic Church and the Trade Unions raising their voices against Sunday being a workday in Dominica. Pretty powerful combination there. And we will see this "allegiance" in America and throughout the world soon, enforcing the Sunday law.
Do you notice we are seeing the Unions get more and more involved? Didn't Ellen White speak of the Trade Unions getting involved and using their clout?

Preparatory Catecheses for the World Meeting of Families in 2012 (October 2011)
"The upcoming World Meeting of Families affords a privileged opportunity torethink work and celebration in the perspective of a family that is united and open to life, thoroughly integrated in society and in the Church, attentive to the quality of relationship in addition to the economy of the family nucleus itself." (Pope Benedict XVI)
"Not only work but also rest from work constitutes a fundamental right and an essential good for individuals and their families. This is what the post-synod Exhortation Sacramentum Caritatis states. A man and a woman are worth more than their work. They are made for communion and encounter. So Sunday should not take the form of an interval from work to be filled with frenetic activities or unusual experiences, but rather a day of rest which opens up to the encounter, lets the other be rediscovered, and makes it possible to dedicate time to family relations and friends and to prayer."
"It is particularly urgent nowadays to remember that the day of the Lord is also a day of rest from work. It is greatly to be hoped that this fact will also berecognized by civil society, so that individuals can be permitted to refrain from work without being penalized."
"The seventh day of creation. Modern man created free time and lost the meaning of celebration. The meaning of the celebration, particularly Sunday, as a time for man, indeed, a time for the family, needs to be retrieved."
"The commandment to keep holy the sabbath. The THIRD commandmentof the Decalogue recalls the liberation from Egypt, the gift of freedom, which creates Israel as a people. It is a perennial sign of the covenant between God and man in which every life shares, even animal life."
They are really laying the groundwork for the Sunday law now! And with the economic turmoil and troubles around the world today, the people of the world will soon be ripe to be deceived into accepting the mark of the beast. Please pray, study and LIVE the truth! Jesus is coming soon.

Pope Says Virgin Mary is the "Living" Ark of the Testament in Heaven (August 2011)
Wow! What statement this is!!
Do you see what this could lead to? Watch for Satan to make some sort of "apparition" or "miracle" of the virgin Mary, with her stating that the world is breaking God's Commandments (ESPECIALLY THE "SABBATH" - SUNDAY), which is causing all these disasters and distruction, and that the only way forward is to enforce a Sunday law.
Are you rooted in the Love of Christ and His Word? I hope so. Because the ride is soon to get very bumpy for the saints! By the way, ever wondered how the Muslims would be brought under control? Do you know what Muslims and Catholics have in common? Their high regard of the Virgin Mary!

North Dakota Catholic Conference says 'Sunday law' Benefits all People (July 2011)
"The purpose of North Dakota’s Sunday closing law is not to impose times of worship. Nor is it to demand adherence to religious doctrine. The purpose of the law is to preserve the common good by ensuring that society is not overtaken by work and profit, wrote Christopher Dodson."
Again, we can see how Satan is going to reach those outside the faith with the Sunday law, by saying it isn't a "religious" law, but one that "benefits the secular world."

Pennsylvania Debates Whether to Hunt on the "Sabbath" (Sunday) (July 2011)
"Farm Bureau members also claim they want one day free of hunters traipsing across their property. Hikers and bird-watchers have joined the farmers, saying they want one day a week of bullet-free passage through Pennsylvania. And some sportsmen also support the ban, saying the wild critters they stalk need a day of rest as well."
Well, we all need a day of rest each week don't we? God said so Himself. Problem is, the world has rejected God's holy day in favor of another! Do you notice that this "we need one day a week rest" is reaching all walks of life?
The Sunday law is coming for sure!

Evangelical Preacher Warns that America is Under Divine Judgment (June 2011)
"Author of more than 150 books, the evangelical leader said, I look at America… people say what is wrong with this country. That is what’s wrong with this country. Right there. They have rejected the Word, the law of the Lord, the Holy One Himself."
It's not hard to see that one day soon, once the image of the beast is fully formed, that Sunday "Sabbath" breaking will be the reason given for the judgment of God and the troubles of this world. Then the Sunday law will follow.

Pope Benedict Admits that the Seventh Day (Saturday) is True Bible Sabbath (March 2011)
The Pope in a new book says ..."if one considers the importance that Saturday has in the Old Testament tradition, based on the account of the creation and on the Decalogue, it is evident that only an event of overwhelming force could cause giving up Saturday and replacing it by the first day of the week."
Now what the Pope is saying here is that the Bible reveals the seventh day (our Saturday) is the true Bible sabbath, but that man "GAVE UP" the true Bible sabbath because of the resurrection of Christ Jesus. But those of us who follow the Word of God ALONE know that there is no word from God or Jesus telling us to "give up" or change the true seventh day Bible sabbath. Therefore, this IMPORTANT day still stands today!

"Sunday Alliance" ACTION DAY Planned for 3rd March in German Communities (February 2011)
Take a look at this amazing quote from the website:
"Free Sunday celebrates it's birthday. 1690 years ago, on 3 March 321 (A.D.) the Roman Emperor Constantine declared Sunday a day off. This marks the beginning of the "state" Sunday protection. 1690 years later, the free Sunday is threatened by Sunday work and Sunday commerce."
