The Mark of the Beast will be implemented and the whole world will follow after the Beast in its work or setting its mark, in a world wide law. The Bible declares that before the coming of the Lord, Satan will work "with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness;" and they that "received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved," will be left to receive "strong delusion, that they should believe a lie."
2 Thessalonians 2:9-11
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
In the issue of the Mark of the Beast the world will be divided into two great classes, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and those who worship the beast and his image and receive his mark. We know that the apostate church and the power of the state will unite in power to compel "all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond" , to receive "the mark of the beast," yet the people of God will not receive it.
Revelation 13:11-16
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
As the seal of God, the Sabbath has become the special point of controversy throughout Christendom, and religious and secular authorities have combined to enforce the observance of the Sunday, the Mark of the Beast. But the refusal of a small minority, a remnant, to yield to the popular demand will come to a head. It will be urged that the few who stand in opposition to this day of the apostate church and a law of the state ought not to be tolerated; that it is better for them to be taken out than for all the nations to be thrown into confusion and their interpretation of the rule of law be ignored. The same argument was brought against Christ by the "rulers of the people." "It is expedient for us," said Caiaphas, "that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not."
John 11:49-50
49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
So how do church and state unite to bring this world wide law of Sunday keeping, well, its already in the works. The UN is pushing it as well as the apostate church and the “new” commandments could include a worldwide day of rest….as in, a Sabbath, yet it would be on another day.
The Pope is at the center of this idea and his Laudato Si Treaty is at the center of this movement, with the world governments being brought together in agreement. In October 2021, Pope Francis and other religious leaders made a joint appeal for leaders of COP 26 to take concrete steps to save the planet from a climate crisis. These steps support the Paris Agreements and Agenda 2030, whose goals are to reduce carbon emissions at any cost. They went forward with the advocation of the creation of a Green Sabbath, where each person is required to “give the environment a break one day a week”, and Climate Sundays where they preach the religion of climate change.
Here is what they want to do..
"One day a week, minimize the need for more goods, minimize the use of natural resources, minimize the emission of carbon dioxide and other pollutants.
The Sabbath is said to be a foretaste of the world to come (Babylonian Talmud, Berakhot 57b). Literally. If you care about our future, about your well-being, observe a real sabbath day of rest. It helps cultivate community, self-discipline, inner calm and contentment. One powerful weapon in the fight against environmental deterioration and climate disaster may just be an age-old spiritual technology"

And we see the power behind it..
"In January 2024, a Washington Post article in the climate section, titled “Why Reviving a 2,600-Year-Old Spiritual Practice Made My Life Better,” pointed to Pope Francis’ argument about “Sunday in his 2015 ‘Laudato Si,’ an encyclical about caring for the natural world. Not resting is not just bad for the soul, he says, but it’s also bad for the Earth. The constant drive to produce and consume more is squandering natural resources, and it prevents us from treating the living world, and one another, with dignity and respect. The Sabbath forces us to consider how we spend all our days.
“Sunday, like the Jewish Sabbath, is meant to be a day which heals our relationships with God, with ourselves, with others and with the world.”
Pope Francis was expanding on the Catholic teaching that Sunday is sacred, trying to give it new meaning for a modern audience in a secular age."

Green Sabbath Project
The Green Sabbath Project believes that our sabbath days must become a time of active avoidance of environmental vandalism, a time for programmatic congregational and individual reflection on how we are undoing creation. Our main focus is education and advocacy. We feature readings, crowd-sourced li

A Green Sabbath—or God’s Sabbath?
Some propose a weekly rest day to help heal the earth. This sounds noble, but could it end up being just another counterfeit for God’s seventh-day Sabbath?
