Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity, and in 321 AD passed a law mandating Sunday rest from work so as to separate from the Jews.
The Vatican upheld the tradition of Sunday worship at the Council of Laodicea in 364 AD and again at the Council of Trent in the mid 1500's.
Catholic writings allege the Pope takes the place of God on earth and has the authority to change God's laws. Is any church or man above the Creator?
God confused the languages of the people who didn't trust Him not to flood the earth again. Great confusion exists in the world regarding religion.
The Bible says to come out of Babylon as it is fallen. Why stay in Babylon and be confused?
Pilate didn't know what truth was so he delivered Jesus to be crucified. God's Word is truth.
The Catholic Church says people have immortality and aren't really dead when they die.
The Catholic Church says people go to heaven when they die in opposition to the scriptures about the Second Coming of Christ.
The Catholic Church says people burn in hell fire, and it never ends.

CATHOLIC: "You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which Catholics never sanctify." James Cardinal Gibbons.

EPISCOPAL: "Sunday (Dies Solis, of the Roman calendar, 'day of the sun, 'because dedicated to the sun,) the first day of the week, was adopted by the early Christians as a day of worship...No regulations for its observance are laid down in the New Testament, nor, indeed, is its observance even enjoined."

LUTHERAN: "The observance of the Lord's Day (Sunday) is founded not on any command of God, but on the authority of the church." Augsburg Confession of Faith, quoted in Catholic Sabbath Manual.
METHODIST: Take the matter of Sunday. There are indications in the New Testament as to how the church came to keep the first day of the week as its day of worship, but there is no passage telling Christians to keep that day, or to transfer the Jewish Sabbath to that day. Harris Franklin All, Christian Advocate 1942.

ENCYCLOPEDIA: "Sunday was the name given by the heathens to the first day of the week, because it was the day on which they worshipped the sun." Eadie's Biblical Encyclopedia 1980

The Vatican transferred the solemnity of the Sabbath to Sunday in violation of God's Word, and it says that this is the "mark" of its authority.
The Mark of the Beast is in opposition to the Seal of God. "And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord thy God." (Ez 20: 19-20.) Prior to Christ's return, the U.S. Congress will pass a law honoring the Vatican's call for Sunday worship. All who refuse will not be able to buy or sell.
unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation: and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name.
The way to avoid the seven last plagues is to accept Jesus and ask for His forgiveness of your sins, follow Him, and keep His Commandments. Don't follow the Sunday Law once legislated.
What are the seven last plagues? Those who accept the mark of the beast will experience: 1) Very painful skin sores. 2) Seas turned to blood. 3) Rivers and springs turned to blood. 4) Great heat from sun scorching. 5) Darkness over the seat of the beast. 6) Support for the beast withdrawn, and Battle of Armageddon waged. 7) Exceedingly powerful earthquake and hail of great weight.
The Mark can be taken "in the hand" meaning one doesn't believe in it but wants to keep working and going along with society's wishes for the common good. As opposed to the hand, it can be taken "in the forehead" meaning one believes in following the law, Sunday worship, as promoted by the Pope and supported by fallen churches and governments. Either way, accepting the Mark of the Beast will cause God's wrath to be poured out UNMIXED with any more mercy. All cases will have been judged for eternity.
He that is is unjust, let him be unjust still: And he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. Rev. 22:11
Jesus confirmed the Sabbath and its relevance.
Jesus confirmed the Sabbath would be in effect through the end of time.
Jesus confirmed His laws are eternal.
