BREAKING THE SABBATH, BROUGHT DESOLATION.
Please share this lesson with your family, friends, Facebook pages, and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.
The abomination that led to their desolation was breaking the Sabbath. Thus, we see the significance of 2 Chronicles 36:21: "To fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept Sabbath."
EZEKIEL, who lived during the same time, also tells us about the abominations God's people were practicing in the holy place. In Ezekiel 8, the prophet was brought by vision to the door of the inner gate. God proceeded to show his servant the progressively greater outrages His people were committing. In verses 5 and 6, He speaks of an image that provoked Him to jealousy.
In an escalation of outrage, unclean beasts had been brought into the house of God, women were weeping for Tammuz and the GREATEST ABOMINATION of all, was twenty-five men standing in God's holy place, "with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they WORSHIPPED THE SUN toward the east" (Ezekiel 8:16).
God had instructed the Jews to erect the temple in a manner that would discourage the imitation of their heathen neighbors in sun worship. The ark of the covenant, the very focal point of the Jews' worship, was placed at the western end of the tabernacle.
Thus the children of Israel would face the west, their backs to the rising sun, when they worshipped the true God. Yet the entrance of paganism among God's people had grown to such proportions that Judah's leading men were actually turning their backs on the temple of God. This was a significant act of apostasy.
Both Ezekiel and Jeremiah, list the heathen practices that had been incorporated into the worship of God. Whether it was breaking the second commandment by idol worship, adoring unclean beasts, worshipping Tammuz, the mythological god of the pagans, or breaking God's holy Sabbath, and worshiping the sun on the day consecrated to it, these practices all were classed by God as abominations.
It was because the Jews persisted in justifying their own course and continued in these heathen customs that God permitted the desolation of their city.
It is an indisputable fact of history that the PAPACY brought into the Christian church the very SAME PRACTICES OF PAGANISM for which ancient Jerusalem was destroyed.
One has to do only a little study, to see how image worship, Tammuz worship, and sun worship were introduced to Christianity during the Dark Ages. Many of these abominations are still with us in the form of STATUES, candles for the saints, rosary beads, Easter sunrise services and SUNDAY WORSHIP.
By no means does the papal apostasy exonerate Protestantism. Most Protestant churches accede to the apostasy by continuing the practice of abominations that have their roots firmly fixed in ancient pagan religions, which were established to destroy God's truth.
Both Catholicism and Protestantism have fostered abominations in God's holy place, His church. The Christian church is mirroring literal Israel. We are repeating many of the same sins and will consequently reap the same punishment of desolation, unless we are willing to read the handwriting on the wall and flee from Babylon.
In Revelation 13 and 14, John records a list of signs that will tell us just how close we are to the end. The sign that will show this nation has filled its cup of iniquity will be when it makes an image to the Papacy by uniting church and state.
How much more neatly could this be effected than by the passage of a NATIONAL SUNDAY LAW commanding everyone to honor a pagan day of worship? (Sunday) Such an event will be a direct fulfillment of Revelation 13:15-17, and provide assurance that the end of this earth's time is quickly approaching.
"As the approach of Roman armies was a sign to the disciples of the impending destruction of Jerusalem, so may this apostasy be a sign to us that the limit of God's forbearance has been reached, that the measure of our nation's iniquity is full, and that the angel of mercy is about to take her flight."
When the churches have apostasized in their abominations to such a degree that they enact legislation of a religious law which DISPLACES GOD'S HOLY SEVENTH DAY SABBATH, WITH A PAGAN HOLIDAY,(SUNDAY), we may leave our cities, knowing that a time of trouble will be forthcoming.
The abomination of desolation, is an important subject in these last days.
Those who follow Jesus, and obey His truth, will keep His Seventh-Day Sabbath holy, and receive His mark. Those who expect to refuse the beast’s mark in the future must step under Jesus’ Sabbath banner now.
His power is available to those who obey Him (Acts 5:32). Without Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5).
With Him, all things are possible (Mark 10:27).
