Constantine's reign as Roman emperor (A.D. 306-337) dramatically changed the World with the Creation of "CHRISTIANITY"as we Know it today....their PAGAN RELIGION.This grew out of his strategy for unifying his empire by creating a “catholic”—meaning universal —church that would blend elements from many religions into one.
HOW CONSTANTINE CHANGED THE TIMES AND LAWS ...FULFILLING THE PROPHECY OF PROPHET DANIEL .
PROPHET DANIEL 7:25
25. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to "CHANGE TIMES"and LAWS: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
THE CHANGING OF THE TIMES .
When Emperor Constantine I—a pagan sun-worshipper—came to power in A.D. 313, he legalized Christianity and made the first Sunday-keeping law. His infamous Sunday enforcement law of March 7, A.D. 321, reads as follows: “On the venerable Day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed.” (Codex Justinianus 3.12.3, trans. Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, 5th ed. (New York, 1902), 3:380, note 1.)
The Sunday law was officially confirmed by the Roman Papacy. The Council of Laodicea in A.D. 364 decreed, “Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday but shall work on that day; but the Lord’s day they shall especially honour, and, as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ” (Strand, op. cit., citing Charles J. Hefele, A History of the Councils of the Church, 2 [Edinburgh, 1876] 316).
Cardinal Gibbons, in Faith of Our Fathers, 92nd ed., p. 89, freely admits, “You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we [the Catholic Church] never sanctify.”
Again, “The Catholic Church, … by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday” (The Catholic Mirror, official publication of James Cardinal Gibbons, Sept. 23, 1893).
“Protestants do not realize that by observing Sunday, they accept the authority of the spokesperson of the Church, the Pope” (Our Sunday Visitor, February 5, 1950).
“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change [Saturday Sabbath to Sunday] was her act... And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things” (H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons).
“Sunday is our mark of authority… the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact” (Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1, 1923).
"He shall speak great words against the Most High"
"He shall speak as if he were God"
...none can this apply so well or so fully as to the popes of Rome. They have assumed infallibility, which belongs only to YAHUAH (God). They profess to forgive sins, which belongs only to YAHUAH (God). They profess to open and shut heaven, which belongs only to YAHUAH (God). They profess to be higher than all the kings of the earth, which belongs only to YAHUAH God. And they go beyond YAHUAH God in pretending to loose whole nations from their oath of allegiance to their kings, when such kings do not please them! And they go against YAHUAH when they give indulgences for sin. This is the worst of all blasphemies!
"And shall wear out the saints"
By wars, crusades, massacres, inquisitions, and persecutions of all kinds. What in this way have they not done against all those who have protested against their innovations, and refused to submit to their idolatrous worship? Witness the exterminating crusades published against the Waldenses and Albigenses. Witness John Huss, and Jerome of Prague. Witness the Smithfield fires in England! Witness God and man against this bloody, persecuting, ruthless, and impure Church!
"And think to change times and laws"
Appointing fasts and feasts; canonizing persons whom he chooses to call saints; granting pardons and indulgences for sins; instituting new modes of worship utterly unknown to the Christian Church; new articles of faith; new rules of practice; and reversing, with pleasure, the laws both of God and man.–Dodd” (Emphasis his; Clarke’s Commentary on the Bible, Volume IV, p. 594).
THE REAL SABBATH IS SATURDAY...THE SEVENTH DAY!
GENESIS 2:2-3
2. And on the SEVENTH DAY YAH ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the SEVENTH DAY from all his work which he had made.
3. And YAH blessed the SEVENTH DAY , and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
EXODUS 20:8-11
8. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9. SIX DAYS shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10. But the SEVENTH DAY is the SABBATH of the ALUAH thy POWER: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11. For in SIX DAYS YAHUAH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the SEVENTH DAY : wherefore the ALUAH blessed the SABBATH DAY, and HALLOWED IT.
