"How many understand that God uses the 6:1 principle? That is, you have 6 of something normal and then on the 7th something special happens. Example: God created the world in 6 days and the on the 7th we have a very special day of rest and worship. Crops were grown for 6 years and the 7th year the land was to be rested. Slaves were kept for 6 years but on the 7th year you had to set them free. There are 6 weeks from Passover to the 7th week when we have Pentecost. There is 6 months from Passover to the 7th month when we have the Day of Atonement. We are currently approaching the end of 6000 years since creation and if Christ returns at the end of these 6000 years, we will then have the 7000th year period which is what the Bible calls the millennium. 6000 years + 1000 years (millennium) = 7000 years. None of this is by chance and is God’s plan. Have a look at the days of the week below.
Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Sabbath
The first six days are normal work days but day seven is the “Sabbath of the Lord thy God.†Now remember that the occult uses the reverse symbol or is the opposite (in opposition) of God’s way. So if Sunday was always the plan of Satan for his day of worship and we know from history that it is, then his week would be the reverse of God’s. Instead of being the 6:1 principle it would be a 1:6 principle. So let’s reverse the week and see if this is the case.
Sabbath Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7
As you can see, it is not really just two days side by side. It is the reverse of God’s week. It is the occult equivalent and this is not by chance and why Satan chose Sunday. Satan has always planned to do this and has done it slowly over time and deceived most of the Christian world. Why is it such a burden for Christians to set aside this day exclusively for the worship of God as a sign that we are His? So a sign and a mark are synonymous and Satan’s sign or mark is the occult reverse of God’s. Can you now see why this false day of worship is called the mark of the beast and why it is all about worship?
How many have noticed that Satan is busy trying to convince Christians that they do not have to obey the Ten Commandments at all anymore. Satan began with the easiest Commandment to attack, and the final stage of the change to God’s day of worship was achieved by giving the Papal Church their position and power and having them enforce it by law. The Seventh day was nearly murdered out of existence. Even Daniel 7:25 informs us that through persecution they would change God’s law. But do most Christians take note of this? No! The enemy is too busy keeping everyone in the dark on this issue ready for his grand climactic finale with 666 and the mark of the beast. This is what the great controversy is all about. Is it any wonder Satan attacks anyone who teaches obedience to the Sabbath and works so hard in the minds of Christians trying to keep them from discovering the real truth."
