Catholic Church enforces Sunday Law in Europe
Wed, Jul 23, 2008
According to the Associated Press this past week, all Croatian shops will have to be closed on Sundays as of Jan 1, 2009.
ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) _ The Croatian parliament has passed a law forcing shops to close on Sundays in a concession to the Roman Catholic church. The church has campaigned for years for Sundays to be devoted to family or Mass in Croatia, which is almost 90 percent Roman Catholic. But Croatians have begun spending weekends in shopping malls that have flourished across the country in the past few years and remain open seven days a week.
The law adopted Tuesday and goes into effect Jan. 1. It allows Sunday shopping over the summer and Christmas holidays.
The law also allows stores in gas, bus and train stations to open on Sundays year-round, along with those in hospitals. Bakeries, newsstands and flower shops are also exempt from the ban.
Unless we understand the importance of the moments that are swiftly passing into eternity and make ready to stand in the great day of God, we shall be unfaithful stewards. The watchman is to know the time of the night. Everything is now clothed with solemnity that all who believe the truth for this time should realise. They should act in reverence to the day of God. The judgements of God are about to fall upon the world and we need to be preparing for that great day.

Hello Jonathan
I share your urgency but would just like to share with you that the only thing I can go do is to sit at the feet of Jesus everyday in a beautiful relationsip with Him and He has promised that “If you have the Son you have life”. There is nothing I can do to get my character in harmony with the law of God, that is His work in me through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is wanting to reproduce in me that Agape love that He had placed in Adam before the fall, so that I will love Him supremely and my neighbour as myself. Jesus said that is the fulfilling of the law. I am saved by the grace of God through a faith obedience. 1 Cor.1:30 says that “He has become wisdom for me, that is my justification, sanctification and glorification. That is why Paul says I am spiritually already in heavenly places in Christ. I am appearing in the judgment in Christ and there is “no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”. If you are in Him you have nothing to fear Jonathan. The Holy Spirit is making a reality in our everyday lives what we already are in Christ Jesus and that is sanctified. Our holy living gives Him all the honour and the glory and is the evidence that we are In Him. Our deeds have no merit whatsoever for salvation, however, if you are In Him right living will be the end result. So take courage and remain in a beautiful relationship with Jesus and trust Him, He is your salvation. Our salvation is from above and was worked out from the foundation of the world.

This is the truth that God’s word will always come true and that all prophesies will have to come to pass. What Croatia has done is the more reason that people of God should relate what prophesy has said and its fulfilment and ultimately the coming of Jesus. Thank God we are about to get home
which is the true churhc of God.”be ye separate” is the wrd of God.
Sunday Law has already started dear friends! And it will surely continue until Rev 13 is fulfilled.
Cancer (Sunday Law) doesn’t just suddenly appear. It starts out slowly and gradually until it spreads out throughout the whole body (whole world).
May we diligently pray each day for HIS deliverance!
The sabbath is the seventhday SATURDAY
we really need to get it together we are living on borowed time.MAKE WAY FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD
I agree with all that is here , We need to get our character in right standing , and that is done at the feet of Jesus ,and of course the prophecy that was given to us reveals truth , but i wonder because i first feel these feelings about myself, if it is not selfish ,even when we see these things coming the focus is always really about self ,please may i explain ,acts 1:8 says take the gospel everywhere these are our brothers and sisters that will die lost and if we are trying to really save them , you can assure yourself that Jesus is living not only in you but through you and your character will be right and you will not only see prophecy come true but will be prophecy coming true , all i am saying is if you had known that a hurricane was coming would you wait until you felt the winds before you would warn you brothers and sisters?
May God have mercy on us. Gods people must stand firm on the faith. The sunday observing christians must now know and accept that though some of them are sincire,they are sincealy on the wrong side. God now wants all of them to start houring his Sabbath- the seventh-day , satarday.
Well, I used to be an Adventist, so I understand why you feel the way you do. However, being a Roman Catholic now, I can say that from an outside perspective there is nothing menacing or odd here. There are people who feel that there needs to be a communal day for a break and for the family. Of course, that day will be the day that adheres to the faith and traditions of the land. Would you want Saturday to suite yourselves then?
It would/should be worrisome for yourselves if there is a ban on worshipping on Saturday that coincides with this, however there is not. Tradition is important, it’s Biblical and it’s God’s way or protecting truth through his Scripture’s, passed traditions and his Magesterium on earth. That’s how the majority who are believers feel and that is the traditions of Europe.
There is honestly nothing for you to worry about here. At the very least, not in what you see here and the way the law is formulated. The article’s title is also extremely misleading.
I pray for you all and God be with you all!
Sincerely,
Daniel
hello everyone!
I can do all things with Christ that strengtheneth me,the bible says.We are all free moral agent. God gave us a free will for us to choose to love Him or the opposite. So, to have the character of Christ is the work of the Holy Spirit from the beginning. Only, we need to decide to obey or reject the still small voice speaking to us through various agencies to our brain. That is why there is faith. But faith is nothing without obedience. This is where we exercise our freedom of choice. We choose to follow the Holy Spirit and it could be seen in our works,what we do, for when we surrender our will to the Holy Spirit , He works in us,through us and for us.
All God fearing people who have the testimony of Jesus and the Spirit of prophecy according Isaiah 8:20 will look toward Heaven even the more now.God help us for the times we are going into are times of trouble such as never was (Daniel 12:2).Everybody will need to learn God’s word and what thus saith the Lord and leave the broad way that every one says is right.Think about it, broad is the way that leads to destruction and narrow is the way that leads to the promised land.If you have not for once stopped to think about the Sabbath as the Lord’s Day of worship…begin now before its too late.Remember that God said “And those days will be shortened”.God help us
hie everyone
I thank God revealer of all things and a faithfull God to his people all the time and all ages. God is a God of love not one who forces his will on us. He wants us to worship him out of love not fear, If they are truly doing it for God then it should not be a binding law to say no one should do anything except worship. God does not operate that way.
My brothers and sisters lets wake up from slumber for now is the time to preach the word of God and to stand firm on his Law. God Law is unmoveable as his throne.
Soon and very soon the troubling and persecution of saints will start.This people will stop at nothing than to shed blood they have once done it and will still do it.
But it is not a time for us to fear anything nor anyone. For Michael our great commander has never lost any Battle or War. We are conqurers and will continue to conqure with Christ under his blood stained banner
yours in christ
Forgive Manyisa
Why cant we just read the bible and take it for what the Spirit says?
forgive me , but why should i believe an institution on any level that changed the ten commandments.? Who gives anyone the authority to change the particular day of worship that was put forth in the ten comandments ? The sabbath (sevtenth day of the week) is an eternal gift to man from God . i feel sorry for anyone who violates the warning that God gives in revalation about anyone who adds to or takes away from the word of God…..good luck with that…curtis
Hi dear friends,
As for me I’am so glad that sunday law is coming because this reminds me that the Lord’s coming is very very soon and I can’t wait to see him when he comes in the clouds of glory. We cant just believe what people say because like what the bible says, there will be many false prophets and many will say that they are God and do have the power. We have to read and read the bible in order to face whatever the circumstances that come our way. Like what some other friends have said who gives authority for man to change the ten commandment? Like what God have said Those who believe in me will have eternal life but those who do not believe in me will perish. God is the God of love and he gives freedom of choice to everyone and it is us who make the right decision. In the book of Revelation some of the things that has being said are already revealed but God had promise his people that he will guide his people even through hard times, so I have faith that God will guide me even when trials and temptation comes and if God can do it for me I know he can do it for me…………. Good luck to you all.
To Daniel
Except that our Lord said “You have a fine way of putting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions” Mark 7.9 NIV
Blue laws are bad no matter what day they mandate. People must have freedom to keep the Sabbath (or not) on whatever day they choose. Morality cannot be legislated. Only God can change a heart.
In response to daniel. What’s odd is if the day dosent matter why change it? If people feel there is a need to have a communal day for a break and family,than I think God already gave it to us in the forth commandment.Why is it so hard to do it the way God asked us to? God knew this would happen,that is why He said remember the seventh day to keep it holy.It is a direct call to worship the creator.There is one who was cast out of heaven because he wanted to be god.One thing he claimed was Gods law was unfair. This was done to mislead others.The sabbath commandment is under attack because this same devil will do anything to pull worship from the true creator.As far as tradition is concerned,when Crist came dident He show that mans tradition was way off and of no concern to truly following God.If you say tradition is important and biblical than isn’t it Gods tradition that is important and biblical. Certainly mans tradition is not biblical. Also it is not about mans traditions or how any majority of people feels.Following our feelings and not the word of God to the letter will mislead you every time. God will never mislead you!
I am so glad that only the Great and powerful God who created Heaven and Earth can write His laws on the heart of His created beings. No man can change the heart of love. Thank you JESUS for your precious blood.
Pope Benedict XIV,
I want you to clean up all your mess you have online, in all the Catholic churches and all the Catholic schools. You are disgrace, Exodus 20: 3-17
14)Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Why you teach the children about sex in the schools?
I can understand, sex program doesn’t look bad because the children see mom and dad leave together, they sleep together; they have to know how come mom become pregnant; What is the minimum age they can have boyfriend or girlfriend and get married too like mom and dad; How come a child come in the world, I agree with that. But you go very far with the children, start at 8 years old or less, they have more experience than the parents: using condom to have sex before marriage, big men or women having sex with them under the table and 14 years old they are pregnant for a young drug dealer with one or two hear ring or more or sometimes no father and having sex with animals shouting etc. their blood are in your shoulder. Tell me what kind Gospel do you preach? Inside the Catholic church or outside, the priests say the catholic system don’t allow them to be married, and to have children; Under the table, 99% have sex men to men, women to women and abuse the children, do you know this is hypocrite and wickedness? Pope Benedict XIV, I like you, but you have to clean your mess.
God bless you
The Catholic Church is changing the times, laws and the things of God. Saturday is the day for worship, it is the Sabbath of teh Lord. Hebrews 4, tells us that. The ten commandments tells us: “Remember the seventh day to keep it holyand acceptable unto God” The Catholic church has changed the commandents to reflect their agenda, that is to be like God. The ppe is calling himself the holy father, there is only one , the Heavenly Father who is Holy. It is onbly the begining of sorrows for those who reject the Lord for who He is. Children of God, take heed, lest your are deceived -Daniel Hahn -take heed lest you stray away from the truth and return to dawkness.
I want all to read Matt. 5:17 onwards. May God help us all to be faithful to Him only!
Daniel, my friend
How is it possible that you left the truth to persue darkness? You really messed up with your decision man!
Love to see walk with Jesus again.
No matter what we believe prophecy will come true . We need to get our house in order. God in his infinite mercy is sending warning signs
In response to Daniel Hahn:
As a 7th Day Adventist I am praying that you come back to the Family of God. However, we know prophtically, this would happen. This is definite a wake up call for All of us to make sure thate we STUDY and immerse ourselves in God’s word. The enemy is cunning and if possible will deceive the very elect.
Lift Up the Trumpets and Loud let it Ring, JESUS is coming AGAIN! Let us all be READY!
May the spirit of the Lord be with us always!

The Bible says “Keep the Sabbath….” about 170times throughout the Good Book. The Bible doesn’t mention the word “Sunday” once!!!
So, if you believe in God, then what day should we keep?? Jesus is coming back soon to take his commandments keeping people to heaven, and to punish those that follow men’s rules… the Sunday keepers.
Read God’s Book, the Bible, and draw your own conclusions. Your eternal salvation is at risk.
Jesus said several times “If you love me, keep MY commandments”. And in revelation 22:18-19, it states clearly that the law is immutable!!
Do not keep the commandments of men!!! If you follow this advice, I will see you in HEAVEN. If you do not, well ….
God bless you in your decision making process.
im hapi to knw that there is still some people still believe in god! people out there to remove all atrocities in this world pray that the conferences we r doin goes well thnx
It is so WONDERFUL to hear all of my brothers and sisters testify of our LORD!!! What an encouragement!!!!
Amen!!!!
I had no idea about the Sunday Law in Croatia. I live in Australia, why have we not heard of it…..because the media dont want us to know.
When I found out about Croatia, it totally shocked me. I am soooo scared Jesus will come and I am not ready.
Wake up call to follow Jesus for his reward is everlasting life with him in heaven
Thanks God for having bumped into this message. It is really a wake up call on all believers. Know who you believe in and continue to pray for sustainance. God Bless all who read and dig in His Word.
Thanks for the information which is not the least bit surprising to the Adventist World, as the signs appear to all be pointing to a forthcoming enforced Sunday law. Henry Blair’s legislation set forth in 1889, 1890 will solidify once Rome lends it’s power more aggressively to America, enforcing a CHURCH AND STATE UNION. I am excited because the above-mentioned events will imply that Christ’s return will be sooner, as a result of God’s people being SEALED by the Living God (Rev 7:1-4, Early Writings page 36-38). We must accept the message of Righteousness by faith, third angel’s message that amplified to the Loud Cry and Latter rain since 1888, and will go on until the second advent (Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers page 91-92).

I AM VERY HONOUR TO SAY,JESUS COMING,AMERICAN PLEASE TAKE ATTENTION READ FIRST THE REVELATION 13 IT IS ABOUT NATIONAL SUNDAY LAW,RFID CHIPS,PLEASE READ IT FIRST TODAY IN YOUR HOME!WITH ELLEN WHITE WRITINGS!PLEASE ALRERT THE GOSPEL WILL READY FOR COMPLETE!
jesus return soon,have ready for his coming?please repent!
People,
There is nothing indicating that people will be prevented from worshiping on whichever day they desire.
It seems like you people want this to happen, the sooner the better.
If you could do something to prevent this from happening, would you do it?
My Dear Brother and Sisters. We are all christians. I can clearly see why all christians cannot be under one roof of the lord. God did tell us that there will be many AntiChrists and non believers, and more. Things we cannot imagine are yet to come! When Jesus comes he will not be like a thief in the night. All eyes shall see, every ear shall hear and every tongue shall confess who is God. If you believe, have faith and trust in God like I do, then please OPEN your bibles and READ.\n\n Do not listen to others, read to thy own understanding for once. PLEASE. There are alot of people who will try hard to deceive you. The Bible Says that the SEVENTH DAY is the Sabbath day. And this has never changed. Jesus himself kept the sabbath day, and if he is our example, we should follow him, TO FOLLOW! If He is our lord, then pleeease. Hear him, when he says he is the Lord of the Sabbath. If he is, then how could the POPE change that? The Pope is a mere man that the Catholic Chooses to be. He is a sinner, he is imperfect. HOW could you believe in a sinner, when God, who is perfect IS THERE? Hear him! \n\nPlease… Seek Ye The Kingdom of God, and His righteousness and ALL these things shall be added unto you. Look for facts. Do not be afraid to thirst for what the Lord is asking you to look for. If you can’t then..\n\nEspecially to Daniel Hahn, May God be With You. I hope He shows you the Truth, the way and the life to live because the end is HERE, and things have already started. Judgement is now. ~\n\nYour Age does not determine your wisdom. \n\n~ Alexandra, A 14 year old.
The real sabbath is SATURDAY!!! We need to reach out to those who don’t know God yet.Who loves God? If you love him so much, choose him now before you don’t make it and REPENT now for god is knocking at your door of ur heart now![Count 7 times staring with sunday, including sunday]
The TIMES ARE DRAWING NEAR. The Sunday Worship is made of man and not of God. The True Sabbath is on Saturday. It is clearly written throughout the bible. Daniel 7:25 ” He Shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a a time and tims and half a time.”
Don’t let mans law rule the Bible. Trust only what is written in the scriptures.
Keep on keeping on in the Lord Jesus Christ.May His will be done in me, my family and in all the saints of the most high God.Amen
This is exactly what revelation predicted would happen, the beast out of the earth would make an image to the first beast. That image is sunday law, and it is a mark or commandment of the Beast that comes out of the sea (the papacy). The Roman catholic church states that the observance of sunday is a commandment of the Roman catholic church and not biblical. She also states that the Papacy changed the solemnity from the 7′th day sabbath to the 1’st day sunday, and that anyone observing sunday is observing a mark of the Papacy’s authority, because the papacy instituted that day and changed Yahweh’s (the Lord’s) Sabbath from Saturday to sunday. Sunday is a False sabbath, The Ten commandments written with the very finger of God will last forever, and the fourth commandment states: Keep the seventh-day Sabbath Holy. The Lord blessed that day and sanctified it, because it was a mark of his authority as creator of heaven and earth. Now i ask you this, if you truly want to hear what our savior has to say about this issue, and find the Truth out for yourself, then please read Matt 5:17-20. Gods Law last forever, Glory and praise be to our savior Yeshua (jesus) forever and ever, that we might do his will, and have a growing relationship with the Creator amen. “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” -John 14:15
Food for thought. True faith is doing what God has commanded even if you don’t understand it.Even if it does not “feel” right. God’s Holy Sabbath is much more important than most think. It will be what divides the sheep from the goats. think of this. God’s law was on two tablets. The First tablet consisted of 4 commandments dealing with our relationship with God. The second, our relationship with man. The catholic church catechism has destroyed God’s law and replaced it with “mans” law. they remove the 2nd commandment that forbids worship of idols/images. and now the fourth commandment that is supposed to point to God as our creator has been substituted with the 5th. “honor your father and mother” who is the “father and mother according to catholic tradition? Yes, the pope and mary. Worship that was reserved only for the Creator, is now given to the pope and mary. the pope is a sinner and mary was a sinner. they neither deserve “WORSHIP” wake up people. Fear God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgement is come! Stop bowing and kissing statues, rings, montra’s, etc. Keep the Lords Seventh Day Sabbath according to the commandment and receive the seal of the living God. Come Lord Jesus. Amen
Your are all quite right to be deeply concerned about what the Catholic Church is doing. This is only part of prophecy that is unfolding before our very eyes. Wars and rumors of wars are increasing in the world, Europe has unified and will continue to do so, eventually entering into a political/religious contract with the Catholic Church that they will later regret. The fall of the United States, to be brought about by further terrorist attacks with nuclear weapons, will speed the formation of this European power and cause this relationship with the Catholic Church to come about out of desperation to fill a political and economic void in the world. When China sees this they will form alliance with Russian and other Asian powers to oppose the forces in Europe and claim their share of the worlds resources once the American dollar fails and the Commonwealth countries are brought low. If you really want to know the entire truth about what God is doing in this end time which is now upon us and learn where the various deceptions are in the world go to http://www.the-end.com. What you learn through this site and the sites connected to it can literally save your life through what is coming. Many who think they are already saved need to be sure that they have the whole truth and not a mixture of truth and deception. The world is full of it and God has always worked through only on means since Christ came. HIS CHURCH! No other. Remember, the scriptures state clearly…….MANY WILL BE DECEIVED! We aren’t talking about a small number here. Millions, infact billions if we understand that there isn’t one church on the face of this earth that hasn’t sprung from the Catholic Church…..save one! God’s Church! You need to know where that church is, for there, and only there, can God be found. Many people are truly sincere but sincerely deceived, you owe it to yourself to be certain of where you are and have been seeking God. If any of what I’m saying here raises even the slightest curiosity or concern in you don’t hesitate. You may find that God is leading you to something that will astonish you. The worst that can happen is you see it as so many do as false, but in time you will begin to see the truth of it as the physical manifestation of God’s prophecies come to pass. \n\nDon S
haleluya!!!!!!!!!!\ndis is the tym 4 us rejoice as we shall be living dis world soon,our saviour told us b4 about dis and it MUST cum 2 pass!! let us b strong and hold on to da cross saints 4 da hour has cum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I come from Adelaide, South Australia, and i heard about the sunday law coming into effect in Coatia via christian radio, Vision FM–in Queensland. \nI was shocked at first when i first heard about the law.\nI am raised a pentecostal sunday keeper, and i use to be all for the sunday law, and kept trying to influence people to keep sunday holy.\nBut the last 2yrs i have had a big turn around and now i really do believe in the Bible a whole lot more, especially the part it speaks about the 7th day Sabbath on Saturday.\nIn three weeks time on sabbath, i will officially be a member of the seventh-day adventist church.\nPlease keep my family and mother in your prayers, for i have received much criticism for observing the sabbath on saturday.\nI have been called a heretic and all those nasty names you can think of.\nMy own mother has threatened to DISOWN me as a son.\nAll because i swapped days from sunday to saturday sabbath.
The LORD Changes NOT! If The Bible Sais To keep The Sabith, Who Are Man To Change It.It Is GOD`S Stamp Of Autoraty, As sunday is The Stamp Of Autoraty Of The Anti-Christ
This is only the beginning of the end. These things must come to be in order for Him to return again.\nWe’re going home soon!
The Lord is our God\n\nPeople we must now know that there is truth to keeping the Sabbath holy, if it was not the truth of God than they would have Saturday Law, instead Sunday Laws should finally let people know that God is very specific and means for his people to know Jesus Christ and to keep the Sabbath holy, it is the original day of rest and is hallowed…
Hi everyone, Im very happy when i see those things are happening today, that’s mean that the Lord is coming very very soon for the bible said so long time ago. i want you to know that the very good day that the Lord used to go to Church was the sabbath the seven day of the week we follow our God and we want to be like Him we want to do what he used to do and what is doing right now every single Sabbath cause in Isaiah 66:23 “From the festival of the new Moon to another and from one sabbath to another and from one sabbath to another, everyone will come to worship me, ” says the Lord. so the “Pope” want us to adore him in sunday he want to fool us saying that we are going to praise the Lord on sunday but the truth is that Why he want every body to adore on sunday? that because there is a secret on obey God’s Word he knows that so that why he want us to do what he want to u can worship the Lord every single day but the “saturday” the seven is God’s day in Ezekiel 20:11-13 says that ” There i gave them my laws and my commandments wich bring life to those who keep them. I also told them that the sabbath would be a sign of the bond between us to remind them that I am their Lord and that I am the one who set them apart and made them Holy people. But they rebelled against me in the wilderness and did not obey my law or keep my commandments, even though they knew that obedience would bring them life. they also desecated my Sabbath. I would have destryed them right there in the wilderness”.So Choose today who u want to serve the Lord or the Pope? make a intelligent decison by serving the Lord our and one more secret the bible says a lot of people enter by the large door and its so easy to enter but the small door very difficult only a small amount of people enter. my brothers and sisters i love u all and the only wish of my heart is to see every single human who is readin this message to be in haeven with me and my familly cause if u have a chance to read it that’s m,ean the Lord want to save u and ur family. so Choose to serve the Lord on his day. thank u and may God bless u all!!!\n Happy sabbath…
things now need us to be true with uor God lets pray for each other so that we wont fall apart
Propohecy is being fulfilled before our very eyes - we need not fear. God will arrest them in their course and their plans will come to naught. Jesus is coming soon!
