Project 2025: Conservatives Seeking Sunday Sacredness
Project 2025: The Conservative Promise is an Agenda Policy which has over 400 Authors for the conservative movement. Bible prophecy has declared that the "mark" of the "beast" - that is, the sign of the Roman Catholic Church/the Papacy - is in fact the Sunday…
Beware the Occult
"And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?" Isaiah 8:19
"Spiritualism is the masterpiece of deception. It is Satan's most successful and fascinating delusion--one calculated to take hold of the sympathies of those who have laid their loved ones in the grave. Evil angels come in the form of those loved ones, and relate incidents connected with their lives, and perform acts which they performed while living. In this way they lead persons to believe that their dead friends are angels, hovering over them, and communicating with them. These evil angels, who assume to be the deceased friends, are regarded with a certain idolatry, and with many their word has greater weight than the Word of God. Thus men and women are led to reject the truth, and give "heed to seducing spirits." The Word of God declares in positive terms that "the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6). This plain noscripture directly contradicts the teaching of Spiritualism, and if it were heeded would save souls from the snare of the enemy. Many are investigating Spiritualism simply from curiosity. They have no real faith in it, and would start back horrified at the idea of becoming mediums; but they are venturing on forbidden and dangerous ground. When they are fast in the toils of the deceiver, they find they are in the power of him who makes the most abject slaves of his servants, and nothing can deliver them but the power of God. The only safety for us is in trusting implicitly and following faithfully the instruction of the Word of God. The Bible is the only chart that marks out the narrow path which shuns the pitfalls of destruction... What love, what wonderful love, that God bears with the perversity of His people, and sends help to every soul that desires to do His will, and forsake sin! If man will but cooperate with the agencies of Heaven, he may come off more than conqueror. Fallen creatures as we are, capable of the most revolting crimes, yet we may become victors." -Signs of the Times, 08/26/1889

Jewish nationalism killed Jesus: Jews seeking to kill Christ (John 11:50) joined forces with the Roman state (Pilate and soldiers).
Catholic nationalism killed Christians: Catholic clergy united with the Vatican and kingdoms to kill Christians at the stake and Inquisitions.
Christian nationalism will enforce the mark of the beast: The apostate churches will unite with the goverment by christian nationalism movement. Religious laws will inevitably pass and enforce Sunday observance, which is the mark of the Vatican's authority over the Bible.

In the World, But Not of It
"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." James 4:4
"The great day of the Lord is near at hand. When Christ appears in the clouds of heaven, those who have not sought Him with all the heart, those who have allowed themselves to be deceived, will surely perish. Our only safety is to be found through repentance and conversion, and the blotting out of sins. Those who will now seek the Lord earnestly, humbling their hearts before Him, and forsaking their sins, will, through the sanctification of the truth, be fitted to unite with the members of the royal family, and will see the King in His beauty... Whatever his educational attainments, only he who realizes his accountability to God, and who is led by the Holy Spirit, can be an effectual teacher, or be successful in winning to God those who are brought under his influence. Shall those who do not heed the divine counsel be acknowledged as leaders in the Lord's institutions?--God forbid. How can we regard as safe guides those who manifest a spirit of unbelief, and who, in words and character, fail of revealing true godliness? "Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children [in learning the way of the Lord], ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3). Self needs to be brought into submission to the yoke of Christ. The great Teacher invites all to learn of Him. . . . "The Son of man is come to save that which was lost" (verse 11). But those who desire to be saved must be willing to be saved in the Lord's appointed way, and not in a way of their own choosing. The free grace of God is man's only hope. God is in earnest with every one of us... We are called to be the Lord's special people in a much higher sense than many have realized. The world lies in wickedness, and God's people are to come out of the world, and be separate. They are to be free from worldly customs and worldly habits. They are not to accord with worldly sentiments, but are to stand out distinct, as the Lord's peculiar people, earnest in all their service. They are to have no fellowship with the works of darkness." -Letter 280, 08/27/1906

Truth Social
Truth Social is America's "Big Tent" social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/111703421569603715
In the video at 2:11 it speaks of Trump:
Many people do support Trump. He seems to be a figure which will "save" America from the corruption and this is why he has full support from christian nationalists. But please, take a few moments and consider below.
Right now we're dealing with leftist ideologies and moral corruption. People are getting tired of being exposed to emotional and irrational way of thinking. This instills in them a desire to return to a society where natural and rational norms predominated, prompting deeper contemplation on moral standards that ultimately guide them towards a connection with God in various ways. This is why this past year there were so many spiritual "revivals" around the globe as well.
There is also Climate Change agenda which is deemed as a threat to the world's existance. The pope, with his letter called Laudato Si, is promoting a moral aspect of caring for nature and ourselves and that we should consider Sunday as a day of rest and healing, like the Sabbath of the Jews. His voice is being heard all around the world and all nations are undergoing ecological conversion to "save the planet". In the media we can read more often about how we need a common day of rest for us and nature.
Therefore if Trump or another conservative gets into the office of President of the United States in the upcoming 2024 election, then we will be much closer to the implementation of prophecied Sunday Laws (which will go directly against the Sabbath commandment of God) because the protestant churches will support the conservative government and the American society will be "turning back to God". The protestant churches will work with the state in a similiar manner like when the Vatican had its power in dark ages. And those that will stay obedient to God's seventh day Sabbath of the fourth commandment (friday evening to saturday evening) by rejecting Sunday will be punished with death by the powers of the earth.
See 🎬 this video explaining the conservatives' plan of Project 2025 and 📝 this post to learn who is the beast of Revelation and what is the mark of the beast. For more details and inside information on what will soon take place in the world, please read 📙 this book, especially from the chapter XXIX "Spiritualism".

Pope: Marxists and Christians have a common mission
Francis calls for overcoming divisive approaches
https://english.katholisch.de/artikel/50230-pope-marxists-and-christians-have-a-common-mission
In other words, the pope wants everyone to be put in a system of "financial equality". With the videos and plans shown by some of the world's institutions that we have seen these past few years we know that the idea of the world leaders is to make everyone subject to the government in every way possible. They want us to be not self-sufficient, they want to monitor every expense we make and they want to rent us every good or service making us as slaves that don't own anything. In this sin-sick world where all of the leaders are corrupt this kind of government will only do harm instead of any good. What may sound like a nice idea, in reality it won't work for our benefit. Those in power and rich will be benefited, while the rest of the people would be subject to dictatorship and tight control.
The only time when we will experience true equality and freedom, where everyone will be truly happy and safe is after Jesus' return, when satan and his minions will perish for good. It will be ONLY then, when true equality and peace of life will be met.
And remember this one major difference - Marxists want to establish this way of living by law to control the people while Christians want to live a life like this through Jesus by free will. It's not the same. Therefore no, Marxists and Christians DO NOT have a common mission.
"Pope Francis encouraged the Marxist-Christian dialogue group Dialop to work together for the disadvantaged and against corruption and abuse of power. Christians as well as socialists, Marxists and communists should build a "better, fraternal future" for a world divided by wars and polarisation, said Francis at a reception in the Vatican on Wednesday. [...] "Do not allow finance and the market to dictate the law," the Pope urged his guests. They should "not stop dreaming of a better world", in which ideals such as freedom, equality, dignity and fraternity are upheld; these ideals are a "mirror of God's dream" for humanity."

Am I in the Wrong?

[PART 1]
Psalm 139:23 “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts.”
This should be our continual prayer if we are to enter the kingdom. One trick the devil likes to play on humanity is “the blame game”. The devil will always push people, when they’re in the wrong, to blame someone else. This is something inherited from Satan. Satan’s continual mission is to justify himself and push the blame on God. Instead of Satan to say “i’m in the wrong” he continued his path of iniquity. Ezekiel 28:15 “Thou [Satan] wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee”. God didn’t create a defective angel. That angel used his own free will thoughts to disobey. Satan inspires humans to make the same mistake he made, instead of finding blame with themselves, he gets them to push the blame on others.
When Adam and Eve ate of the tree of knowledge the Lord visited them and said unto them, Genesis 3:9 “And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?”. Is the Lord really calling out to Adam because he can’t find him? No. He’s giving Adam a chance to confess his wrong. Adam replies, Genesis 3:10 “…I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself”. Adam was afraid because he knew what he did was wrong. To which the Lord asks, Genesis 3:11 “…Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?”. When the Lord asked Adam where are you, Adam should’ve confessed then. Now the Lord has questioned Adam to the point where he must confess. This is where Adam uses Satanic methods to try and get himself out of trouble. Instead of Adam saying “I ate the fruit” he says, Genesis 3:12 “…The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat”. Did you catch that? Adam says “The woman YOU [God] gave to me, SHE gave me of the tree” and that’s what made him eat. Adam in one sentence blames the Lord and blames Eve for why he disobeyed. He takes no responsibility. The problem is, if Adam won’t admit that he disobeyed, he can’t be corrected. If we don’t believe we’ve done something wrong, how can we fix our actions? Eve also used the same Satanic methods saying Genesis 3:13 “…The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat”. Following her husband’s evil example, she pushes the blame as well. They were both punished and exiled from the garden. The Lord gave them a chance to repent but they didn’t.
While we may look upon Adam and Eve and think “Why did you do that?”, “Don’t eat of the tree” or “Just confess”. We have our own sins that we know we could’ve avoided. We won’t be able to say to the Lord, “If Adam and Eve didn’t sin, I wouldn’t have stolen from that bank!”. Adam and Eve are long gone, they aren’t affecting our individual actions. Adam isn’t the reason we fornicate, lie, cheat or steal. If a murderer came to court and said “My father left me and did drugs and that’s why I ended up a murderer and killed that man” we know that’s not a good enough excuse. Hence our sins cannot be pushed off to Satan or our first parents. The set of questions the Lord can silence us with are simple and convicting. Let’s say we took his name in vain, He could just say “Did I command you to take my name in vain?”, to which we would reply “No”, to which the Lord can say “Why did you take my name in vain if that’s the case?”. Any other answer apart from “I wanted to” would be a lie.
There was a scribe who came to Jesus to tempt him. Luke 10:25 “And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He [Jesus] said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 And he [the scribe] answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28 And he [Jesus] said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live”.

There was a scribe who came to Jesus to tempt him. Luke 10:25 “And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He [Jesus] said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 And he [the scribe] answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28 And he [Jesus] said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live”.
