Sunday—a NO WORK day in Europe.

“Everyone in the square says ‘no’ to working on Sunday.  On Sunday, 4 March, thirteen European countries joined with the European Sunday Alliance, made up of various types of unions, associations of civil society, together with Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox communities, all together to confirm the special and fundamental characteristic of Sunday.”  The peaceful demonstration held in cities throughout Europe involved thousands of people.  “The Commission for Justice and Peace of the Croatian Bishops’ Conference” posted a document stating, “It is necessary respect Sunday as a day of rest for everyone,” and that Sunday is a day for both families and the Lord (www.osservatoreromano.va, March 6, 2012).

What many do not realize is that Sunday worship is a non-biblical adaptation of the Sabbath, anciently promoted by the Catholic Church to facilitate the conversion of Sun-worshiping pagans.  It may also become the “mark” or identifying sign of those who will be permitted to function in the coming European Beast power (Revelation 13:16-18). 

As the end-time configuration of Europe emerges, we will probably see the issue of Sunday as the “day of rest” play a more prominent role in worship and politics.  For more information on this topic, see our free booklet on The Beast of Revelation.
