13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
The above Bible scripture verses show clearly that the beast who instituted Sunday worship is the actual mark of the beast of Revelation 13. Also, these New Testament churches of Jesus Christ neglect the Lord’s feasts as holy convocations, the new year as the beginning of the year and the first month of the year for us His beloved churches, and the Ten Commandments of the Lord where His seventh-day Sabbath is. The Lord had blessed and hallowed the Sabbath, putting it in our minds and writing it on our hearts through the blood of Jesus Christ. Yet we have refused to live our lives by them. This is exactly in accordance with the prophecy of God in Daniel 7:25:
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High (God) (blasphemy), and shall wear out the saints of the most High (God) (with persecutions, tortures, pains, also death), and think to change times (the seventh-day Sabbath of the Lord was changed by the antichrists to the sixth day of the week) and laws (the Ten Commandments of the Lord were changed; the antichrists removed part of the first commandment, where God says thou shalt not make graven images or bow down to them. They divided the true commandment into two, to cover the one they removed from the first commandment), and they shall be given into his hand (the sixth day week Sunday worship, mark of the beast) until a time, times, and the dividing of time (the 1260 years that the Bishop of Rome used in preparation for his evil kingdom and his supremacy, which helped him elevate himself to the position of Papacy or Pope, lasting exactly 1260 years, but it did not stop there and has continued to the present time).
These years were used by the evil Bishop of Rome for his “falling away” from the true church of Christ and in preparation for his evil kingdom, elevating himself to the position of Pope or Papacy, which necessitated the formation of a city called the Vatican—the smallest city in the world, known as a state or country, or the kingdom of the Papacy. It is the official office of all the evil Popes, a city inside the city of Rome—very unheard of, but true. Through the antichrists with their sorceries, wizardries, manipulations, lies, deceptions, and satanic practices, they acquired all these evil things and luxurious lifestyles. Up till now, the occupants of this evil city are not up to one thousand people. They have their own language, currency, newspapers, dress codes before anyone can enter the Vatican, and many more things that any country would have.
This building of the Papacy’s empire lasted 1260 years to fulfill the Lord’s prophecy, but it did not stop there. The antichrists’ evil reign continues to this day, until Jesus Christ destroys them permanently at His appointed time. The Lord had planned, partnered, and made us know this in Revelation 20:9-10:
“And they” (Satan, or the devil and all his evil armies) went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp (the holy city) of the saints (that the Lord had incorporated into the twelve tribes of Israel, Revelation 21:12-13) about, and the beloved city (the new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven). Fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them (Satan and his armies were destroyed permanently by the Lord).
Revelation 20:10 says:
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast of Revelation 13 and the false prophet (Rome) are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
This wickedness of the Papacy has portrayed the evil actions of the beast of Revelation 13, with the other evil Popes as sure antichrists. Their characteristic hatred against our Lord is bitter and definite. These antichrists are clearly against God and our Lord Jesus Christ. They will never succeed in their evil doings but will definitely be destroyed by our Lord Jesus Christ, as seen in Revelation 20:9-10.
To understand the meaning of “our hands,” which made Sunday worship the mark of the beast of Revelation 13, New Testament churches need to read the article “The Unfolding of Our Hands and Our Frontlets or Foreheads.” It explains the full meaning of our hands and foreheads that made Sunday worship the mark of the beast.
Now, concerning the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ about reviving His churches with the greatest revival of the observance of His feast days to be observed as holy convocations (as explained before), His Ten Commandments where the seventh-day Sabbath is blessed and hallowed to be observed as a holy convocation, which the Lord put in our minds and wrote on our hearts by the blood of Jesus Christ. All these have been separated from the ceremonial laws by the blood of Jesus Christ.
His new year is to be the beginning and the first month of the year for His churches. The Lord has used these as everlasting boundaries and His seals upon His churches, to have a distinct, indelible mark of distinction between His churches and the evil world they live in.
These are the Lord’s spoken words, which are the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. His words are one entity—inseparable and indivisible—as said earlier according to John 1:1:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
We must do the will of our Lord Jesus Christ on this earth, according to His own words in the Lord’s Prayer:
“Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven…”
Those so-called New Testament churches who have significantly rejected and abandoned the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and Almighty God should know that they have rejected and abandoned the Lord.
We have grievously sinned against God Almighty and our Lord Jesus Christ. By serving and worshiping other gods—the antichrists—on the sixth day of the week, known as Sunday, we have fallen into the mark of the beast described in Revelation 13. In honoring the Papacy, the evil beast, more than our Lord Jesus Christ, we have neglected and deserted all the spoken words of our Lord Jesus Christ, which are the very words of the Lord Himself, for many years.
How can we be so thoughtless and ignorant in worshipping the beast of Revelation 13 on the sixth day, Sunday worship—the mark of the beast? We have become the perpetual enemies of the Lord. As New Testament churches, we must repent seriously and heed the warnings of the Lord in Revelation 18:4:
“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Right now, we need to confess our greatest sins and leave behind our lives of rebellion, misunderstanding, and ignorance of the spoken words of our Lord Jesus Christ, which are the Lord Himself. We must feel deep sorrow for our sins, which are more numerous than all the sands of the sea.
We must bring heartfelt confessions to the Lord, asking Him to fill us with the Spirit of repentance. We need to repent sincerely, with broken hearts and contrite spirits, and reject the evils that have led us into grievous sin. For His namesake, we ask for forgiveness and commit to stopping all wickedness, disobedience, and rebellion against God Almighty and our Lord Jesus Christ.
We must accept and believe in the greatest revival of the Lord by observing His feasts, which He commanded as holy convocations—the very spoken words of the Lord and the Lord Himself. We should recognize the Lord’s new year as the true beginning of the year and the first month. We must obey the Ten Commandments, including the seventh-day Sabbath, which the Lord blessed and hallowed. These commandments are written on our hearts by the blood of Jesus Christ, serving as His seal upon His churches and those called by His name.
The Lord’s words do not change, nor does the Lord Himself, as He says in Malachi 3:6: “I am the Lord, I change not.” All true believers have accepted the one and only God and Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
We, the New Testament churches, are deeply sorry for our sins and repent wholeheartedly and sorrowfully. We shamefully ask our Lord Jesus Christ for His grace and mercy to forgive us, His churches called by His name. Please, Lord, rescue us from the darkness of the antichrist’s kingdom, revive us with Your fire, and give us grace to obey and observe the Lord’s feasts, the new year, and the Ten Commandments, especially the seventh-day Sabbath, which is blessed and hallowed.
These commandments and feasts are the Lord’s protection and seal for all who are called by His name, to free us from the evil world we live in.
We have sinned grievously against our loving Lord Jesus Christ by ignoring His spoken words, which are God Himself (John 1:1). These words are the Lord’s seal upon His churches to distinguish them from the evils of the world and keep them from evil, as the Lord prayed in John 17:15 and taught in Matthew 6:13: “Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.”
By rejecting these words, we have rejected the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, who is the source of our faith and life. This is a grievous sin. Our rebellion and iniquities have multiplied against our Lord, and we have knowingly sinned repeatedly.
We departed from observing the Lord’s feasts, the new year, and the Ten Commandments, including the seventh-day Sabbath, replacing them with the evil feasts of the beast of Revelation 13—Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, New Year’s celebrations, and more—with their detestable decorations in the Lord’s temples. We have defiled His temples and altars with these worldly and abominable things, provoking the anger of our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave His life to free us from sin.
We confess that we have grievously sinned against our Lord by rejecting His sure spoken words, which are the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and His seal upon His churches.
Now, we come to the Lord with sincere repentance, asking Him to deliver us from worshipping the beast of Revelation 13 on Sunday—the mark of the beast. We heed the warning of Revelation 18:4 to come out of her, that we may not partake in her sins or receive her plagues.
Oh Lord, righteousness belongs to You alone, but we confess our sins, confusion, evil, rebellion, and ignorance of Your spoken words, which are the Lord Himself. Our sins are great and numerous, and we have brought shame upon ourselves.
We ask for Your mercy and forgiveness, Lord, for Your churches that have rebelled against You. Help us to repent wholeheartedly, with broken hearts and contrite spirits, and to turn from all iniquity.
Please, Lord, hear our prayers and cause Your face to shine upon Your churches who sincerely repent. We renounce and abhor the evil antichrists and their practices, and we now seek to be revived churches, forgiven and cleansed by Your mercy.
Grant us the grace to obey Your warnings and live according to Your spoken words. We ask You to equip us fully with the armor of Your Word, as described in Ephesians 6:10-20, so that we may stand strong in the Lord and resist the evil in the world.
Ephesians 6:11-13
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ephesians 6:14-17
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness.
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Ephesians 6:18-20
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
A Call to the Churches of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Now therefore, without delay, churches of our Lord Jesus Christ, come out—please come out quickly from all evils and the entrapment of Satan. Put on the armour of the Lord and turn away from worshipping the antichrist on Sunday, the sixth day of the week, which is the mark of the beast as described in Revelation 13.
Come out of Sunday worship and heed the Lord’s warning in Revelation 18:4:
“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
New Testament churches, please come back to our Lord Jesus Christ with the whole armour of His words, worshiping Him in spirit and in truth.
The Fulfillment of God’s Word
All of the Lord’s words must come to fulfillment, no matter how long it takes, as Isaiah 55:11 says:
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
The Lord’s will must be done on earth as it is in heaven, as in the prayer Jesus taught us:
“Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:9-10)
God’s word is truth, eternal and unchanging (John 17:17; Psalm 119:89). The churches must obey His words fully and sincerely, seeking restoration through confession, repentance, and prayer, to be revived in the greatest revival the world has ever known.
The Warning Against Sunday Worship and the Antichrist
Daniel 7:25 prophesies:
“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.”
This refers to the saints being handed over to the antichrist’s influence, which is seen in the worship of Sunday, the sixth day, the mark of the beast (Revelation 13). We must pray for forgiveness and deliverance from this bondage and evil entrapment.
The Lord’s Feasts, Sabbath, and New Year
The Lord separated His people with His feasts as holy convocations, including the seventh-day Sabbath, which He blessed and hallowed, writing them on our hearts through the blood of Jesus Christ.
This separation is a firm wedge, like the gulf in Luke 16:26, showing God’s plan to keep His people holy and apart from the world’s evils. We must observe these feasts and commandments faithfully as signs of revival and restoration.
Our Commitment to Live According to God’s Will
By the grace of God, we commit to live as Romans 12:1-20 commands—offering ourselves as living sacrifices, not conforming to the world but being transformed by renewing our minds. We are one body in Christ, each with gifts to serve, loving sincerely, rejoicing, patient, prayerful, hospitable, blessing even those who persecute us.
We will strive to live peaceably, avoid revenge, and repay evil with good, following the example and command of our Lord Jesus Christ.
A Final Prayer and Declaration
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, by the grace of God, I decree and confirm:
Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Hallelujah, seven times.
Holy, holy, holy, seven times.
Amen, amen, amen, seven times.
To our only loving and living God Almighty, and to our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives forever and ever, Amen and Amen.
