If you notice the dream from Ernie Knoll 'Stand Fast' (from this post) where it is outlined about this identity card agreeing to the 'National Day of Reverence'. I don't know if this is exactly how it will be implemented (especially all around the whole world) but notice that the identity card is merely a tool in the implementation of the beast's mark control-grid system and not the actual 'mark' itself. If people were going to be ruled out of Heaven for having an identity card (like a drivers license) then I would say God is an ridiculous God and I would not want anything to do with being subservient to Him. It is not the tool/mechanism of implementation that is important to God, it is the matter that your acceptance of it will show your allegiance isn't to the Creator (based on what you are agreeing to when accepting it, it will show one does not know, love or trust God sufficiently, God does not seek lukewarm faith and divided loyalty)...does that sound reasonable?edit on 6-7-2012 by JesuitGarlic because: (no reason given)

Tell me, OP, what would YOU do is a UFO set down in your yard?
What will you do if being of great brightness calling himself the 'Christ' and coming down from the sky begins performing various miracles and says he has changed the 4th commandment to Sunday? What will it mean to you if tries inspiring the rest of the world to kill the 'sabbath-keepers'?
A true Christian does not come into Judgement … they have already been judged in Christ.
Hebrews 10:26-39
New King James Version (NKJV)
The Just Live by Faith
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated; 34 for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven. 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
37 “For yet a little while,
And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
Hebrews 12:3-8
New King James Version (NKJV)
The Discipline of God
3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. 4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:
“My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
6 For whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”
7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
The Sabbath is not the Gospel and I know of no biblical mandate to proclaim it...
...so what spirit has laid this burden on you?

The Sabbath is a part of the Divine Law which is what the entire conflict between Satan and God is about, being played out on this planet solely in the Universe. The whole gospel is essentially about the Divine Law that shows the character of the lawgiver as one of Love, that it is needed and that Satan who desired not to be held by the Law of God shows that any ways outside of this Word is destructive to everyone and unsustainable and causes great sadness. The whole problem of sin will be resolved in the universe based on the testimony of Earth and Satan's alternative as temporary 'ruler of this world'.
The Holy Spirit has given me the indication to preemptively start giving this message now because the time is so close and the ground-work laid now will pay dividends for people seeing the truth fully later.edit on 6-7-2012 by JesuitGarlic because: (no reason given)
The Sabbath was about God resting and post-slavery Israel resting...
Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, [that] from [1767] one new moon [2320] to another, [2320] and from [1767] one Sabbath [7676] to another, [7676] shall all flesh [1320] come [0935] to worship [7812] before [6440] me, saith [0559] the LORD. [3068]
24 And they shall go forth, [3318] and look [7200] upon the carcases [6297] of the men [0582] that have transgressed [6586] against me: for their worm [8438] shall not die, [4191] neither shall their fire [0784] be quenched; [3518] and they shall be an abhorring [1860] unto all flesh. [1320]

The Sabbath was a type of the rest that is in Jesus
“Hebrews 4:3-11 affirms that physical ‘Sabbath rest’ (sabbatismos) is the weekly outward manifestation of the inner experience of spiritual rest (katapausis) in which the final…rest is…experienced already ‘today’ (4:7). Thus ‘Sabbath rest’ combines in itself creation-commemoration, salvation-experience, and eschaton [end-time]-anticipation as the community of faith moves forward toward the final consummation of total restoration and rest.”

The 'rest' harkens back to when Jesus met with Moses in the wilderness, He told him that He would bring rest to the children of Israel through Moses' leadership (Exodus 33:14). Here, Jesus, the new Moses as pictured by Matthew, promises rest to those who labor and are burdened down.
The metaphorical 'yoke' that Jesus' audience were carrying were many: the oppressive legal demands of religious leaders of the day based on 'their' interpretation of the Mosaic Law; the economic oppression brought on by the wealthy, particularly that of debts and related legal cases; and the oppression Roman taxation system. Jesus invites these burdened ones to take His yoke. This is not a less stringent interpretation of the law (meaning the correct interpretation of the initially intent behind the law), as he makes very clear in the Sermon on the Mount. Rather it is the lightness of the yoke that He emphasizes. The lightness consists of meekness and humility of heart. These characteristics make the fuller demands of Jesus much easier to bear than even that of the scribes and Pharisees. When the Christian takes on Jesus' yoke, he or she will find true refreshment (or rest) for the soul.

"The letters inscribed in the Pope's miter are these 'VICARIUS FILII DEI'. which is the Latin for 'VICAR OF THE SON OF GOD.' Catholics hold that the church, which is a visible society, must have a visible head...., as head of the church, was given the title, 'VICAR OF CHRIST'." Our Sunday Visitor, (Catholic Weekly) "Bureau of information," Huntington, Ind., April 18, 1915. evidenced again
"Vicar of Christ . . . Title used almost exclusively of the Bishop of Rome as successor of Peter and, therefore, the one in the Church who particularly takes the place of Christ; but used also of bishops in general and even of priests. First used by the Roman Synod of A.D. 495 to refer to Pope Gelasius; more commonly in Roman curial usage to refer to the Bishop of Rome during the pontificate of Pope Eugene III (1145-1153). Pope Innocent III (1198-1216) asserted explicitly that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ; further defined at the Council of Florence in the Decree for the Greeks (1439) and Vatican Council I in Pastor Aerternus (1870). The Second Vatican Council, in Lumen Gentium , n.27, calls bishops in general "vicars and legates of Christ." All bishops are vicars of Christ for their local churches in their ministerial functions as priest, prophet, and king, as the Pope is for the universal church; the title further denotes they exercise their authority in the Church not by delegation from any other person, but from Christ Himself."

I do not understand that either. They, the Christians, swear that their Godman did in fact Ascend, but then claim ascension does not exist. This is Mind Control. Christianity does NOT want anyone to ascend, so they go about shouting that whatever we may think about it is wrong. I worked on a rescue crew, and have watched a human Spirit ascend. So no body can tell me different.

Fail. Please learn right from the actual christians before discussing. Thanks
The SDA nonsense that JG is spreading is ridiculous. There is no "second coming" on the "7th day", and this entire thread indicates that the OP needs to get a real life. He's too young to "know" these things,
I acknowledge his right to believe whatever he wants, but he's using a LOT of bandwidth to spread fringe superstition

The Coming Trials
My work is in the area of spirit transmissions. I charge nothing and I have very little to say to the mass media or the press. They would only distort the picture so badly it could not be used to have a serious conversation about the near future. This post comes to this forum primarily because of its serious nature.
.
...prepare to participate with spirit when representatives of the high spiritual rulers become visible.
.
...a direct intervention of spirit will become evident as a Paradise Magisterial Son of great power will become visible to the human eye. His administration will encompass the totality of this planet. One hundred others will become visible from spirit as his contact staff in various parts of the world
