Daniel Unlocked #45

Daniel Unlocked #45. The Little Horn thinks to Change “the times and the laws.”

Biblical time was designated to be kept from sunset to sunset (they had no clocks and sunset was an obvious demarcation.) Also, creation was divided as “the evening and the morning” i.e., that is the dark part of the day followed by the light part of the day. Scholars long believed that the day began at sunset, according to Jewish tradition. Jews begin their religious holidays in the evening, and the biblical text mandates that the two most important religious feasts, the Passover, and the Day of Atonement, begin at sunset. (Leviticus 23:32). The change to midnight was mandated centuries after the Bible canon was closed.

Scripture does not give the right to any human to destroy or change God’s law. Jesus Himself said, “Do not presume that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished!” (Matt 5:17-18 NASB). Any Roman Catholic can examine the Ten Commandments in a Catholic version of Scripture, such as the Douay or the Jerusalem Bible, and read the true Ten Commandments. But in their catechisms, they are taught to entirely discard the second commandment, to eliminate most of the fourth commandment and to divide the tenth commandment in two to preserve the number ten.

The reason that the pope’s Apostolic Letter, Dies Domini, repeatedly refers to the Sabbath commandment as the third commandment rather than the fourth is because Catholicism has cast out the second commandment which states, “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.” (Exodus 20:4-6 NLT).

There is sound evidence to charge the Roman Catholic Church with the introduction of idolatry into the Christian faith.

Some claim that their veneration of idols is not evidence of idol worship. If this claim is valid, why then did the Roman Catholic Church think it necessary to delete the second commandment from the Decalogue?

Further, the Roman Catholic Church has altered the Sabbath commandment in their catechisms with the words, ” Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.” The full commandment reads, “You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God. On that day no one in your household may do any work. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your livestock, and any foreigners living among you. For in six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.” (Exodus 20: 8-11 NLT).

Here again is compelling evidence that the Roman Catholic Church full well knows that Sunday worship does not extend back to apostolic times, otherwise it would have been the apostles who would have initiated such an alteration. The apostles spoke often of keeping the commandments but made no effort to alter them. A few examples include the words of Paul, “Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God (1 Corinthians 7:19), John stated, “And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that says, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1 John 2:3,4). “And he that keeps his commandments dwells in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given us“(1 John 3:24). “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous” (1 John 5:2,3)

“And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children—all who keep God’s commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus.” (Revelation 12:17NLT). “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12). “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city” (Revelation 22:14).

Combining the concepts of the immortality of the soul, christening to remove original sin, and eternal punishment in hell, the early Roman Catholic Church taught that all innocent but unbaptized children who died were doomed to eternal torment. Later, the concept was softened by consigning such unfortunate children to a mythical entity called limbo, simply because of the neglect of their parents to have their heads sprinkled with water. It is little wonder that the French fled from such an arbitrary and vengeful “god” and rather embraced the prostituted goddess of mercy at the time of the French Revolution.

It must not be forgotten that one of the identifying features of the little horn of Daniel 7 is that this power would “think to change times and laws” (Daniel 7:25). Certainly, the Papacy has emphatically fulfilled that criterion without the least question, as it has eliminated the second commandment from God’s sacred law removed much of the fourth commandment which deals with God, holy times, and divided the tenth commandment.

The little horn / beast power alone fulfills all 81 criteria as listed in the document that you can request. The identity of the KIng of the North from Daniel 11 is firmly established, and soon we will see the Identity of the King of the South as Islam, will likewise be established. These two powers wared with each other throughout the 1260 years of the Medieval period. This will be documented in Daniel 11.
