How Time Was Changed

This same power is mentioned again in the 17th chapter of Revelation, here pictured as ruling over the kings and kingdoms of the earth, persecuting the true saints.
       In every possible manner, this power has changed TIME!
       God begins the days at sunset, but "the little horn" has changed it so the world now begins the day in the middle of the night by a man-made watch.
       God begins the week with the ending of the true Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, but the world begins the working week in the middle of the night, the second day of the week.
       God begins the months with the new moons, but this "little horn" has induced the world to begin the months according to a clumsy man-made calendar of heathen origin.
       God begins the year in the early spring, when new life is budding in nature everywhere, but ancient heathen Rome caused the world to begin the year in the middle of dead winter.
       God gave His children a true rest day, designed to keep them continually in the knowledge and true worship of the true God—a memorial of God's Creation—the seventh day of the week. But the "little horn" has fastened upon a deluded world the observance of the days on which the pagans worshipped the Sun, the first day of the week, called
SUNday.
