95.7% of People Polled and Most of the 44,290 Teachers in the Muslim State of Johor Support Adopting Sunday Rest
The current days of rest for the Muslim State of Johor in Malaysia are Friday and Saturday. However, recent polls indicate that 95.7% of people support switching from Friday and Saturday to Saturday and Sunday for their weekends. Additionally, the majority of the 44,290 teachers in Johor fully support the proposal for Sunday rest. Government officials were looking to review their days of rest and the feedback from this major Muslim community has voiced its support for changing the state weekend to include Sunday.Resting on Sundays is becoming more and more popular with each passing day. The movement to reclaim Sunday as a day of rest is gaining popularity all over the world. The prophetic picture painted in the book of Revelation is coming to fruition. The new movement in Muslim countries to implement Sunday rest is modeled after Western Christianity, particularly the Roman Sunday laws. You must look to the place from which it originated-Rome-in order to comprehend the true nature of Sunday rest by law.
"The enforcement of Sundaykeeping on the part of Protestant churches is an enforcement of the worship of the papacy-of the beast. Those who, understanding the claims of the fourth commandment, choose to observe the false instead of the true Sabbath are thereby paying homage to that power by which alone it is commanded. But in the very act of enforcing a religious duty by secular power, the churches would themselves form an image to the beast; hence the enforcement of Sundaykeeping in the United States would be an enforcement of the worship of the beast and his image" (Great Controversy, p. 448).

Let Us Stop Avoiding the Real Issues
As the 2025 General Conference Session convenes, with believers from around the world watching and praying, there is an unmistakable sense of frustration among many of the faithful. While we will be given lectures about returning our tithes and offerings-as outlined in the proposed 2025 Church Manual agenda-we must ask ourselves: is this truly the burning concern on the hearts of God's remnant people at this critical hour in history?

While walking down the hallway at the America's Center Convention Complex-the site of the 62nd General Conference Session-I saw Ganoune Diop approaching.

Rome Stops Traffic On Ecological Sunday
Rome's "Ecological Sundays," which restrict traffic to reduce pollution, may at a first glance appear to be an environmental initiative on the surface, but they serve a deeper agenda-to condition the public to the idea of staying home and resting on Sundays. While rest is not inherently problematic, the issue lies in how this concept is being enforced-not through a voluntary means, but through civil law. By mandating Sunday rest…
