Sabbaths and Sundays have been defiled.

“Notwithstanding, the children rebelled against Me; they did not walk in My statutes, and were not careful to observe My judgments, ‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them’; but they profaned My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the wilderness. Nevertheless, I withdrew My hand and acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the Gentiles, in whose sight I had brought them out.” Ezekiel 20:21-22

The Lord brought the Israelites out of bondage from the Egyptians. While escaping in the wilderness, the Israelites built a Golden Calf to worship instead of God. The fury of God was aroused against them and He could have finished them all, but He didn’t. Because the Israelites were spared, our Lord Jesus was sent, who was an Israelite from the Tribe of Judah. Through Him we have Salvation.

The children of the Israelites are the Jewish people of today. When the Jewish people rejected Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, the word of God was not kept and they forfeited eternal life. As a result of ignoring the word of God, every bit of teaching and preaching on the Sabbaths are profaned. Because the Gospel of Christ is ignored the Sabbaths are defiled. As Jesus Christ said, “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.” Luke 16:16 Today, the Jewish culture has tossed out the entire New Testament, which is the Gospel of Christ, and they only live by the Old Testament. Again, it is written, “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things…” Hebrews 1:1-2

In the Holiness of God, His fury was hot against the Israelites, but He withheld from totally annihilating all of them. God had a plan to send His Son Jesus Christ, who is an Israelite from the Tribe of Judah, and thousands of years later He arrived, with His word of promise, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Today, the word of God, brought through Jesus Christ, is being rebelled against. Sunday church is profaned as the churches have abandoned the Gospel of Christ. They reject the message of the promise of life given by the forgiveness of sin when we believe in Jesus Christ. Instead, they encourage living for the beast that gives them what to think, feel, say, and do. Instead of eternal life, they inherit eternal death in hell, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

The Holiness of God destroys sin, that is why He could very easily destroy sin-plagued humanity. Instead, He decided not to destroy the world, but to give every human being the opportunity to come to Him through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only sinless person who can come into the presence of God, and through Jesus our sin is forgiven, and we are reconciled to God, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” Romans 5:8-9

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
