Angry Churchgoers Put Pressure on a Supermarket for Opening on a Sunday in Netherlands (December 2013) "Angry churchgoers plastered a branch of Albert Heijn with pamphlets. They call on customers to stop shopping there, because the supermarkets will be open on Sundays from now on."
The earth beast tells 'them that dwell in the earth to make an image of the first beast' (Revelation 13:14). So it is the people that bring about the image of the Papacy, which will end up causing the law makers to enforce the Sunday law. And we can see that 'spirit' in this news item.

"Sunday is for God in Mizoram. Everything else can wait, even campaigning for once-in-five-years assembly elections. Campaigning for the November 25 polls in Mizoram has entered a crucial phase. But for the people, nothing is more important than sticking to the Sunday routine of going to church. Every other public place too is in shutdown mode."

SUNDAY Assembly Movement Launching ATHEIST Churches (November 2013)"A fast-growing, worldwide congregation for atheists called Sunday Assembly picked an unlikely spot to try and launch a new group ... Nashville. Evans and Jones, who launched the first Sunday Assembly ... in London less than a year ago and, within weeks, were drawing a capacity crowd. They now head up 30 congregations around the world, with major U.S. locations in New York, Boston and Washington, D.C."
So even atheists are starting to make Sunday a 'special day' for gathering together now. I wonder who those two people who started this movement really are and what their background is. Satan is far reaching in his plans to implement the mark of the beast.

Notice the strong emphasis on 'society', 'family', and 'economy' with regards to the Sunday law now? This is the main angle that the Catholic Church is using now in a bid to secure their false sabbath day within law!

Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault met with government ministers today on the subject after a court ordered two hardware chains to close 14 of their stores on Sundays."
We are seeing these Sunday laws in place all over the world. So would it take much to properly enforce them? Not with the state the world is in today, with all the economic troubles and disasters. Yes, there are people who protest against it, and there will always be people who protest. But a few big disasters and some signs and wonders from Satan will secure a place for the Roman Catholic mark.

The Desecration of the 7th Day Sabbath in Jerusalem (June 2013)
"New shopping complex called a breakthrough that will revolutionize Saturdays ... It's incredibly rare to see so many people publicly desecrating the Sabbath in Jerusalem, where most businesses shut down at sunset on Friday and streets are quiet until nightfall the following day. Secular Jerusalemites have hailed the new complex at the station as a breakthrough that will revolutionize Saturdays in Israel's capital city."
So how are the Jews going to be deceived with regards to the Sunday law? Obviously not all of them will, but as we can see from the news item further down this page stating that a political party in Israel are pushing for Sunday to be a day of rest and now this news item showing that the 7th day sabbath is being desecrated with shops being open for business for the first time. We can see the pieces being put into place ready for the Sunday law.

"It is usually thought of as a day of rest. But increasingly busy lifestyles mean Sundays are now considered the most stressful day of the week for one third of Britons, according to a new survey."
You can see the varying ways they are using to get Sunday into the minds of the people. And with all the troubles around the world, it will be easier to convince the people to accept the Sunday law when the time is right.

Pope Francis Book Talks About a Needed Sunday "Sabbath" Rest - THAT APPEALS TO EVERYONE! (April 2013)
"Responding to the question, "Do we need to rediscover the meaning of leisure?" Pope Francis replies: Together with a culture of work, there must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport. But this is being destroyed, in large part, by the elimination of the Sabbath rest day. More and more people work on Sundays as a consequence of the competitiveness imposed by a consumer society. In such cases, he concludes, work ends up dehumanizing people."
Why do we keep the 7th day sabbath? To honor God right? And to spend one special day a week in complete devotion to Him. Can you see the new path that the Vatican is taking towards the Sunday law? God is taken out of the picture and in place we see things that appeal to ALL MANKIND: rest, family time, playing sport, etc. Who wouldn't want an enforced "day of rest" where you can down tools and enjoy relaxation and recreation? This will appeal to everyone. And this is how the beast will be able to cause the "WHOLE WORLD" to take the mark.

Sunday Now to be a Day off Work in Israel (February 2013)
"The first vote on new legislation in the 19th Knesset was initiated as a joint effort between Yesh Atid’s Rabbi Dov Lipman, Jewish Home's Naftali Bennett, and surprisingly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Easily passing the vote, the Knesset decided that Sundays would now be an official day off from work."
Revelation 13 says that the beast will cause ALL to take the mark of the beast. Including the Jews. And those who have said the Sunday law could never happen because of the Jews, need to think again.
