What is God Doing?

They have an allegiance to God that is unshakable and if we look at the writings of John, we see that God's people do what they do because they love God!

If we love Jesus, we will choose to worship Him by doing all that He asks us to do.

It is those who love Jesus so much that they do what He asks them to do, to keep His commandments, that have this special connection with God. Those of us who Love and keep His commandments will have God manifest Himself to us! God will especially come to make His home with us!

When asked what the greatest commandment was Jesus answered:

Again we see that all the commandments of God are based on Loving God and His creations. Below we see that Jesus spoke about the commandments so that His joy may remain in us. Love is very much connected with what we do, such as laying down our life for his friends!

It makes sense that we would serve God out of Love, that love for God would be the motivating force behind our actions. In the war against Satan, God could have used His power to destroy Satan and ensure that all the worlds would follow Him no matter what. However, it seems that God wants something more than just outward obedience. He obviously wants his creations to obey Him out of Love.

It is interesting that John, who saw the larger picture concerning the war between Jesus and Satan, is able to relate the commandments of God so well with Love.

We know elsewhere in the Bible that we are saved by faith. Yet, here we see that there is an outward sign, a sign that people can see, showing us that they are saved! This is it. There are two things. To have the love of God and keep His commandments.

John goes on to say that keeping His commandments is the love of God. So much so, that the commandments are not restrictive. We do not feel like we are being held back from what we really want to do, since we really want to please God and keep His commandments when God changes us.

The life of Jesus, when He was on earth, is an example to show us how to live. The things we do, show other people just how much we really know God.

So we can see that the ten commandments are at the core of our belief, right behind: Faith and trust in God, and His Grace toward us in saving us.

Keeping the commandments of God and having the testimony of Jesus evidently shows Satan well enough to know that he is not able to control them.

Some say that the Ten Commandments are not important anymore; However, Jesus seems to indicate the opposite:

It should be clear to anyone who is aware of the intergalactic war between Jesus and Satan, that Satan would try to get people not to keep The Ten Commandments. If He can get people to ignore just one of the ten, he will have them as his.

While it is true that people are breaking all the commandments of God, Satan has made it seem that there is one commandment that does not make sense.

Most all people see the wisdom in the last six commandments. These commandments help keep law and order in any country.

It is in the first four commandments that we run into real problems. These commandments direct us of our duty to God.

You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. Revelation 20:3-11.

While it is true that many break the first and the third commandments, they usually know what they are doing. They developed those habits while ignoring or hating God.

That is not true for many who break the second and fourth commandments. Many of these people have been taught by religious leaders to bow down toward images and pictures, and to keep the first day of the week holy, not the seventh day.

While God has told us not to bow down toward images or picture, a large portion of the Christian community does that very thing.

In spite of the fact that God specifically says He blessed the Seventh day holy because He created the world, and in spite of the fact that there is absolutely no record of any other day being observed as Sabbath in the Bible; Almost all of the Christian church is now observing the first day of the week, the day that is dedicated to the sun-god. Thus the name Sunday indicates itŐs paganistic roots.

In the dark ages, elements of paganism were introduced into the church and has since become traditional. These traditions have nothing to do with Bible truth and they also indicate that Satan has succeeded in separating most of the people of the world from God.

In this war between Jesus and Satan, the day we keep directly relates to whom we are serving. The Bible is extremely clear as to the day, and also as to why we should be keeping the Seventh-day as the Sabbath.

The history concerning Sunday observance is also clear, it relates to pagan sun-god observance and its followers are following the wishes of Satan in the day they have chosen to worship.

God makes concessions on the Biblical ignorance of His followers for now; However, as we can see in the scripture below, when we become aware of the truth and we realize what we are doing, God's people will choose to follow Him.

However, in the future, in his desperation, Satan will endeavor to force all the inhabitants of the world to follow him. When he does make Sunday an issue, he will force the whole world to observe his false day of worship. Look at this interesting scripture:

The phrase: and shall intend to change times and law, is an important one. Satan will try to change the law of God, possibly the fourth commandment. The 4th commandment is the only one based on time, so it is clear that Satan will attack the Sabbath in his last desperate fight against Jesus and His people.

In addition, Satan has already done a lot of work to have virtually the whole world worship on Sunday rather than Sabbath. Clearly, he has already set the ground work for his final act, when he plans to change times and law!

Satan was so sure that Job would choose to live rather than die but Job never failed. Satan is going to try the same thing in the last days, only harder. The righteous will have to choose to follow God even if it means death in this life.

So it does look like God made a Memorial of His creative power to help remind us who it is that created all things. The Seventh-Day Sabbath will become a world-wide issue in the years ahead, especially as the war between Jesus and Satan approaches the end.
