Is Today's Week God's Week? - C Paul Meredith - October 1954

C Paul Meredith

Why does a Christian-professing civilization use a week named after pagan deities? What is its origin? When did the Church adopt it? SYNOPSIS: We take "time" for granted - yet we measure it with days named after pagan deities. Why? Our civilization is filled with pagan customs and superstitions which we never question. The preceding articles in this series have revealed many startling facts which should make us question the basis of our "Christian" civilization! Shortly after the flood Satan used the king and queen of the first organized civilization – Babylon - to establish a diabolical counterfeit of the PLAN of God. Through Nimrod, the king (Genesis 10:10; 11:1-5), and his wife Semiramis, known as the "Queen of Heaven" (Jer. 7:18), and Ashtaroth (Judges 2:13), the arch - deceiver Satan was able to counterfeit the teachings of Christ, the apostles and the Church over 2000 years in advance. Was God's week also counterfeited for a purpose? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
