ForthComing Mark of The Beast, Enforced Sunday Law
by Sister Sabbay
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places ( Eph 6:12 KJV).
Most Protestant entities have fallen deep into Apostasy. Prophecy maintains that Powerful/Elite Protestant Entities in America will become the image (Rev 13:11-18) of the Roman Catholic Church's Papacy, the first Beast, reinstating Sunday law persecution (Rev 13:1-10).
What are Blue Laws ?
Following the enforcement of the National Sunday Law, Pagan Sunday Worhip will be the MARK OF THE BEAST. "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" (Rev 13:17). Read this Full Page to understand WHY these statements are true.
President Elect Barack Hussein Obama's Blogger Discussed Reinstating Sunday Laws
In the above recent Blog article, President Elect , Barack Hussein Obama's Administration permits the discussion of reinstating Sunday law, as a means of reinstituting a day of
rest. This is most worrisome for Sabbatarians as we are familiar with this fast spreading trend which appears to be the fulfillment of the Forthcoming Enforced Sunday Law, the Mark of the

America, often identified as the safe haven of human rights, has emerged as increasingly violent both in domestic and foreign affairs. The declaration of independence holds that "we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Yet, within an Executive Meeting Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney, Vincent Bugliosi, author of The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, made serious allegations that our President provoked a confrontation with Saddam Hussein, resulting in an unnecessary war with Iraq. Mr. Bugliosi, known for his infamous prosecution of Charles Mason, further states that America engaged in a confrontation with Iraq, orchestrating an imminent threat fallacy regarding weapons of mass destruction.

A well known Seventh-day Adventist Author, Bill Hughes, author of The Enemy Unmasked and Secret Terrorists has given us a reason to suspect the roles of the Roman Catholic Church's Jesuits. In addition to exposing the horrific Jesuit Oath, Mr. Hughes describes relevant history, exposing the RCC's plans of dissembling Protestant Freedom within America. Within a radio interview (sorry the audio was recently removed, but please resort to link below for information regarding books), Mr. Hughes mentions various related organizations such as: The Council on Foreign Relations, The Illuminati and The Black Pope, leader of the Jesuit Order, answering relevant questions regarding God's work of exposing such anti-protestant movements. By highlighting such incidents as 911 NYC the World Trade center conspiracy and many more, Mr Hughes unmasks the real enemies behind the scenes.

The Jesuit Oath, a gruesome oath of allegiance to the Papal Order and Roman Catholic Militaristic Dogma has many people disturbed by its callous details of criminality and wickedness. Followed by the Jesuit Oath, former Jesuit General Peter Hans Kolvenbach (Netherlands), The former Black Pope is caught on tape for a brief moment (The following tape of the Jesuit Oath contains graphic details and is for mature audiences only).

The newly elected Black Pope, Adolfo Nicholas (Spain), is now said to be the Most Powerful man in the world. (Below find brief footage; Nicholas has stepped into his role as the Black Pope since January of 2008).

As one becomes more familiarized with the Jesuit Order, The Society of Jesus or the Militaristic Agents of the Papacy, truth emerges. The Roman Catholic Church, having a history of World Domination from 538 AD to 1798 AD, has always sought to resume such a position of extreme power. Revelations 17 describes a woman seated upon the scarlet colored Beast, causing many to ponder which Kingdom this Beast represents. The Papacy, working in secret, appears to be using the Jesuit Order, sending individual agents to infiltrate Protestant Organizations, influencing their doctrines and policies. The Roman Catholic Church appears to oppose Protestantism and Religious liberty, deceptively calling for a UNIVERSAL CHURCH and movement towards ecumenicalism and pantheism. (Below Please see link to YouTube of a Jesuit Study, conducted by Jim Arrabito, now deceased, highlighting a former Jesuit's testimony, Alberto Rivera, also now deceased).

Throughout history, many amendments have been made to the Constitution Artiles I and XIV:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances".
"No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunites of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws"

"Law of Maryland could for a moment question the fact of its being religious, or deny that the reason that " work " and " bodily labor " were forbidden by it on Sunday was with a view to " sane- ifestly retifying and keeping holy " the day, and this upon the assumption that such sanctification and keeping of the day is " a principal part of the worship of Almighty God" (American State Papers Bearing on Sunday Legislation p.45)".

Parts II and III contain the history, in documentary form, of the development of this principle during the " Federation " and " National " periods. In these will be found some of the most profound utterances to which American minds have ever given expression veritable masterpieces of English and sound logic bearing on the rights of conscience and the province and limits of civil authority".

"...It was the same spirit of liberty which produced these and hundreds of other similar documents, that during our early history either banished from the statute books or relegated to the background our SUNDAY LAW, COMPULSARY ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH, laws against Revival Unitarians, infidels, witches, Baptists, Quakers, SABBATARIANS, etc. of intolerant But now, in certain localities, we see some of these very laws being revived, and new and more stringent ones being demanded. Many cases of PROSECUTION FOR SABBATARIANS FOR SUNDAY WORK have come to the editor's notice within the past few years, among them being ordained ministers of the gospel".

"For over a century the national govern Position ment uniformly maintained but one position uncompromising opposition government to Sunday legislation or any legislation whatever giving one sect or one form of religion preference over another. But the States Position have been divided on the question, the statute books of most of these of State governments. containing Sunday laws, and by far the larger number of the judicial decisions in them upholding these laws. Hence, decisions have been inserted in this work both in favor of and against the constitutionality of Sunday laws (American State Papers Bearing on Legislation p. 19)".

"Take care that we lose not that salvation, that life and breath which thou hast given us, for thou art our shepherd, thou art our physician, thou art our governor, thou art our husbandman, thou art finally another God on earth."

"Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God....dissolves, not by human but rather by divine authority....I am in all and above all, so that God Himself and I, the vicar of God, hath both one consistory, and I am able to do almost all that God can do...wherefore, if those things that I do be said not to be done of man, but of God, what do you make of me but God? Again, if prelates of the Church be called of Constantine for gods, I then being above all prelates, seem by this reason to be above all gods." Decretales Domini Gregori ix Translatione Episcoporum, (on the Transference of Bishops), title 7, chapter 3; Corpus Juris Canonice (2nd Leipzig ed., 1881), col. 99; (Paris, 1612), tom. 2, Decretales, col. 205 (while Innocent III was Pope).

"The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth...by divine right the Pope has supreme and full power in faith, in morals over each and every pastor and his flock. He is the true vicar, the head of the entire church, the father and teacher of all Christians. He is the infallible ruler, the founder of dogmas, the author of and the judge of councils; the universal ruler of truth, the arbiter of the world, the supreme judge of heaven and earth, the judge of all, being judged by no one, God himself on earth." Quoted in the New York Catechism.
"The pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God..."The Pope alone is called most holy..."Hence the Pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of hell. "Moreover the superiority and the power of the Roman Pontiff by no means pertains only to heavenly things, but also earthly things, and to things under the earth, and even over the angels, whom he his greater than. "So that if it were possible that the angels might err in the faith, or might think contrary to the faith, they could be judged and excommunicated by the Pope.... "...the Pope is as it were God on earth, sole sovereign of the faithful of Christ, chief of kings, having plenitude of power." Lucius Ferraris, in "Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica, Juridica, Moralis, Theologica, Ascetica, Polemica, Rubristica, Historica", Volume V, article on "Papa, Article II", titled "Concerning the extent of Papal dignity, authority, or dominion and infallibility", #1, 5, 13-15, 18, published in Petit-Montrouge (Paris) by J. P. Migne, 1858 edition.

The Pope is Infallible
"The Roman Pontiff, head of the college of bishops, enjoys this infallibility in virtue of his office, when, as Supreme Pastor and teacher of all the faithful--who confirms his brethren in the faith--he proclaims by a definitive act a doctrine pertaining to faith or morals....The infallibility promised to the Church is also present in the body of bishops when, together with Peter's successor, they exercise the supreme Magisterium,' above all in an Ecumenical Council. When the Church through its supreme Magistrium proposes a doctrine for belief as being divinely revealed,' and as the teaching of Christ, the definitions must be adhered to with the obedience of faith.' This infallibility extends as far as the doposit of divine revelation itself." Catechism of the Catholic Church, #891, 1994 edition.
"The Pope cannot make a mistake." Pope Gregory VII, (quoted by The Benedictine Network in a listing of notable items by the various popes throughout history).
The Pope's Crown Bears This Inscription
Question. "What are the letters supposed to be in the Pope's crown, and what do they signify if anything?
Answer. "The letters inscribed in the Pope's mitre 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. Christ, before His ascension into heaven, appointed St. Peter to act as His representative. Upon the death of Peter the man who succeeded to the office of Peter as Bishop of Rome, was recognized as the head of the Church. Hence to the Bishop of Rome, as head of the Church, was given the title 'Vicar of Christ.'
"Enemies of the Papacy denounce this title as a malicious assumption. But the Bible informs us that Christ did not only give His Church authority to teach, but also to rule. Laying claim to the authority to rule in Christ's spiritual kingdom, in Christ's stead, is not a whit more malicious than laying claim to the authority to teach in Christ's name. And this every Christian minister does." Our Sunday Visitor, (Catholic Weekly), April 18, 1915, thirteenth question under "Bureau of Information," p. 3, (on page 2 appears "sanctions for the editor" from Pope Pius X, dated May 17, 1914; from the Apostolic Delegate, John Bonzano, dated April 27, 1913; and from J. H. Alerding, Bishop of Fort Wayne, Ind., dated March 29, 1912).

(Translated into English it reads: "As the blessed Peter was constituted Vicar of the Son of God on earth, so it is seen that the Pontiffs, his successors, hold from us and our empire the power of a supremacy on the earth greater than the clemency of our earthly imperial serenity.")

"The temporal power in the hands of St. Gregory I was a fatherly and patriarchal rule over nations not as yet reduced to civil order. In the hands of St. Leo III it became a power of creating empires. In the hands of St. Gregory VII it was a scourge to chasten them. In the hands of Alexander III it was a dynasty, ruling supremely, in the name of God, over the powers of the world....So that I may say there never was a time when the temporal power of the Vicar of the Son of God, though assailed as we see it, was more firmly rooted throughout the whole unity of the Catholic Church.

The Pope Has All Power in Heaven and Earth and Can Change Divine Laws
"The Pope is of great authority and power, that he is able to modify, declare, or interpret even divine laws. The Pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man, but of God, and he acts as vicegerent of God upon earth..." Lucius Ferraris, in "Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica, Juridica, Moralis, Theologica, Ascetica, Polemica, Rubristica, Historica", Volume V, article on "Papa, Article II", titled "Concerning the extent of Papal dignity, authority, or dominion and infallibility", #30, published in Petit-Montrouge (Paris) by J. P. Migne, 1858 edition.
"Christ entrusted His office to the chief pontiff;... but all power in heaven and in earth has been given to Christ;... therefore the chief pontiff, who is His vicar, will have this power." Corpus Juris, chap. 1, column 29, translated from a gloss on the words Porro Subesse Romano Pontiff.
"The Pope's authority is unlimited, incalculable; it can strike, as Innocent III says, wherever sin is; it can punish every one; it allows no appeal and is itself Sovereign Caprice; for the Pope carries, according to the expression of Boniface VIII, all rights in the Shrine of his breast. As he has now become infallible, he can by the use of the little word, 'orbi,' (which means that he turns himself round to the whole Church) make every rule, every doctrine, every demand, into a certain and incontestable article of Faith. No right can stand against him, no personal or corporate liberty; or as the Canonists put it -- 'The tribunal of God and of the pope is one and the same.'" Ignaz von Dollinger, in "A Letter Addressed to the Archbishop of Munich", 1871 (quoted in The Acton Newman Relations (Fordham University Press), by MacDougall, p 119-120).
"We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God....dissolves, not by human but rather by divine authority....I am in all and above all, so that God Himself and I, the vicar of God, hath both one consistory, and I am able to do almost all that God can do...Wherefore, no marvel, if it be in my power to dispense with all things, yea with the precepts of Christ." Decretales Domini Gregori ix Translatione Episcoporum, (on the Transference of Bishops), title 7, chapter 3; Corpus Juris Canonice (2nd Leipzig ed., 1881), col. 99; (Paris, 1612), tom. 2, Decretales, col. 205 (while Innocent III was Pope).
"Therefore the decision of the Pope and the decision of God constitute one decision....Since, therefore, an appeal is always made from an inferior judge to a superior, just as no one is greater than himself, so no appeal holds when made from the Pope to God, because there is one consistory of the Pope himself and of God Himself." Augustinus Triumphus, in Summa de Potestate Ecclesiastica, 1483, questio 6. Latin.
The Pope Can Change, Add to, or Take Away From, and His Word is Greater than the Holy Scriptures

Bonniwell, against Thos. S. Butler, Feb. 15, 1913.
"We confess that whatever new thing the Pope ordains, rather it be in Scriptures or not in Scripture, and whatever he commands is true, divine and salvific; and therefore ought to be held by Lay People in greater esteem than the living God." Roman Catholic Confessions for Protestants Oath, Article IV, (Confessio Romano-Catholica in Hungaria Evangelicis publice praescripta te proposita, editi a Streitwolf), as recorded in Congressional Record of the U.S.A., House Bill 1523, Contested election case of Eugene C. Bonniwell, against Thos. S. Butler, Feb. 15, 1913.
All People Must Be Subject to the Authority of the Pope in Order to be in God's True Church
"It is absolutely necessary that the Christian community be subject in all things to the Sovereign Pontiff if it wishes to be a part of the divinely-established society founded by our Redeemer." Pope Pius XII, Orientalis Ecclesiae, quoted in "Acta Apostolicae Sedis", 36:129, Rome: Vatican Press, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Malone, Book 4: "The Book of Christians", Chapter 4: "There is No Allegiance to Christ Without Submission to the Pope").
"Where Peter (or his successor) is, there is the Church." St. Ambrose, Commentary on Twelve of David's Psalms, XL:30; JUR, vol. 2:1261, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Malone, Book 4: "The Book of Christians", Chapter 4: "There is No Allegiance to Christ Without Submission to the Pope").
"You above all, venerable brothers, have known how this dogma of our religion has been unanimously and unceasingly declared, defended and insisted upon in synods by the Fathers of the Church. Indeed, they have never stopped teaching that 'God is one, Christ is one, the Church established upon Peter by the voice of the Lord is one;' 'the massive foundation of the great Christian state has been divinely built upon, as it were, this rock, this very firm stone;' 'this Chair, which is unique and the first of gifts, has always been designated and considered as the Chair of Peter;' 'shining forth throughout the world it maintains its primacy;' 'it is also the root and matrix whence sacerdotal unity has sprung;' it is not only the head but also the mother and teacher of all the Churches...'the Roman Pontiff, who holds Primacy in the entire world, is the Successor of Blessed Peter the Prince of the Apostles and the true Vicar of Christ, the head of the whole Church, and is the visible Father and Teacher of all Christians.' There are other, almost countless, proofs drawn from the most trustworthy witnesses which clearly and openly testify with great faith, exactitude, respect and obedience that all who want to belong to the true and only Church of Christ must honor and obey this Apostolic See and Roman Pontiff." Pope Pius IX, Amantissimus (On The Care Of The Churches), Encyclical promulgated on April 8, 1862, # 3.
"No one is found in the one Church of Christ, and no one perseveres in it, unless he acknowledges and accepts obediently the supreme authority of St. Peter and his legitimate successors." Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, PTC:873, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Malone, Book 4: "The Book of Christians", Chapter 4: "There is No Allegiance to Christ Without Submission to the Pope").
"It is an error to believe that a man is in the Church if he abandons the See of Peter, the foundation of the Church." St. Cyprian, UOC, CSL, vol. 3, pt. 1, p. 207 (1868), (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Malone, Book 4: "The Book of Christians", Chapter 4: "There is No Allegiance to Christ Without Submission to the Pope").
"If, therefore, the Greeks or others say that they are not committed to Peter and to his successors, they necessarily say that they are not of the sheep of Christ, since the Lord says that there is only one fold and one shepherd (Jn.10:16). Whoever, therefore, resists this authority, resists the command of God Himself. " Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam, DNZ:468, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Malone, Book 4: "The Book of Christians", Chapter 4: "There is No Allegiance to Christ Without Submission to the Pope").
All Who Separate From the Control of the Pope are Without Christ
"Remember and understand well that where Peter is, there is the Church; that those who refuse to associate in communion with the Chair of Peter belong to Antichrist, not to Christ. He who would separate himself from the Roman Pontiff has no further bond with Christ." Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum, quoted in "Acts of Leo XIII: Supreme Pontiff", Rome: Vatican Press, 1896, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Malone, Book 4: "The Book of Christians", Chapter 4: "There is No Allegiance to Christ Without Submission to the Pope").
All People Must Be Subject to the Authority of the Pope in Order to be Saved
"Christ Jesus left you this sweet key of obedience; for He left His Vicar, whom you are all obliged to obey until death. And whoever is outside his obedience is in a state of damnation." St. Catherine of Siena, MCH, reference #374, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Malone, Book 5: "The Book of Obedience", Chapter 1: "There is No Salvation Without Personal Submission to the Pope").
"Although the devil desired to sift all the disciples, the Lord testifies that He Himself asked for Peter alone, and wished that the others be confirmed by him (Lk. 22:32); and to Peter as well was committed the care of "feeding the sheep" (Jn. 21:15); and also to him did the Lord hand over the "keys to the kingdom of Heaven" (Mt. 16:19). If, however, anyone believes contrary to this, let him know he is condemned and anathematized. Consider, therefore, that whoever has not been in the peace and unity of the Church cannot have the Lord. Those not willing to be at agreement in the Church of God cannot abide with God. For the Church of God is established among those known to preside over the Apostolic Sees, and whoever separates himself from these Sees is manifestly in schism." Pope Pelagius II, Quod Ad Dilectionem," DNZ:246; "Dilectionis Vestrae," DNZ:247, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Malone, Book 4: "The Book of Christians", Chapter 4: "There is No Allegiance to Christ Without Submission to the Pope").
"...our Divine Redeemer also governs His Mystical Body in a visible and normal way through His Vicar on earth....After His glorious Ascension into heaven this Church rested not on
Him alone, but on Peter too, its visible foundation stone. That Christ and His Vicar constitute one only Head is the solemn teaching of Our predecessor of immortal memory Boniface VIII in the
Apostolic Letter Unam Sanctam; and his successors have never ceased to repeat the same.
"They, therefore, walk in the path of dangerous error who believe that they can accept Christ as the Head of the Church, while not adhering loyally to His Vicar on earth. They have taken away the visible head, broken the visible bonds of unity and left the Mystical Body of the Redeemer so obscured and so maimed, that those who are seeking the haven of eternal salvation can neither see it nor find it....
"As the Divine Redeemer sent the Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth, who in His name should govern the Church in an invisible way, so, in the same manner, He commissioned Peter and his successors to be His personal representatives on earth and to assume the visible government of the Christian community." Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis Christi (On the Mystical Body of Christ), Encyclical promulgated on June 29, 1943, #41-42, 69.
"Those who are obstinate toward the authority of the Roman Pontiff cannot obtain eternal salvation." Pope Pius IX, Quanto Conficiamur Moerore, DNZ:1677, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Malone, Book 5: "The Book of Obedience", Chapter 1: "There is No Salvation Without Personal Submission to the Pope").
"We teach,...We declare that the Roman Church by the Providence of God holds the primacy of ordinary power over all others, and that this power of jurisdiction of the Roman Pontiff, which is truly episcopal, is immediate. Toward it, the pastors and the faithful of whatever rite and dignity, both individually and collectively, are bound by the duty of hierarchical subordination and true obedience, not only in matters which pertain to faith and morals, but also in those which concern the discipline and government of the Church spread throughout the whole world, in such a way that once the unity of communion and the profession of the same Faith has been preserved with the Roman Pontiff, there is one flock of the Church of Christ under one supreme shepherd. This is the teaching of the Catholic truth from which no one can depart without loss of faith and salvation." Pope Pius XII, Ad Apostolorum Principis (On Communism And The Church In China), Encyclical Promulgated on June 29, 1958, #46.
"He who does not enter by the door of the fold shall not have salvation. The door of the fold is the Catholic Church and union with the Head who represents Jesus Christ." St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, "Travels", Chicago: 1944, p. 170, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Malone, Book 5: "The Book of Obedience", Chapter 1: "There is No Salvation Without Personal Submission to the Pope").
"Urged by faith, we are obliged to believe and to maintain that the Church is one, holy, catholic, and also apostolic. We believe in her firmly and we confess with simplicity that outside of her there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins...There had been at the time of the deluge only one ark of Noah, prefiguring the one Church, which ark, having been finished to a single cubit, had only one pilot and guide, i.e., Noah, and we read that, outside of this ark, all that subsisted on the earth was destroyed....Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff." Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam, Bull promulgated on November 18, 1302.
"The Saviour Himself is the door of the sheepfold: 'I am the door of the sheep.' Into this fold of Jesus Christ, no man may enter unless he be led by the Sovereign Pontiff; and only if they be united to him can men be saved, for the Roman Pontiff is the Vicar of Christ and His personal representative on earth." Pope John XXIII, in To the Bishops and Faithful Assisting at His Coronation, Homily given on November 4, 1958.
"O glorious St. Peter, obtain for us a sincere loyalty to our Holy Mother the Church; grant that we may ever remain most closely and sincerely united to the Roman Pontiff who is the heir of thy faith and authority: the one, true, visible head of the Catholic Church, that mystical Ark outside which there is no salvation." Pope Benedict XV, RAC:484, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Malone, Book 2: "The Book of Salvation", Chapter 1: "There is No Salvation Outside the One True Church").
"But the supreme teacher in the Church is the Roman Pontiff. Union of minds, therefore, requires, together with a perfect accord in the one faith, complete submission and obedience
of will to the Church and to the Roman Pontiff, as to God Himself. This obedience should, however, be perfect...(and) must consequently be accepted without wavering....
"Wherefore it belongs to the Pope to judge authoritatively what things the sacred oracles contain, as well as what doctrines are in harmony, and what in disagreement, with them; and also, for the same reason, to show forth what things are to be accepted as right, and what to be rejected as worthless; what it is necessary to do and what to avoid doing, in order to attain eternal salvation." Pope Leo XIII, in Sapientiae Christianae (On Christians As Citizens), Encyclical promulgated on January 10, 1890, #22-24.
"To be subject to the Roman Pontiff is absolutely necessary for salvation." St. Thomas Aquinas, Against the Errors of the Greeks, Pt. 2, ch. 36; PTC:484, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Malone, Book 5: "The Book of Obedience", Chapter 1: "There is No Salvation Without Personal Submission to the Pope").
"This is our last lesson to you: receive it, engrave it in your minds, all of you: by God's commandment salvation is to be found nowhere but in the Church; the strong and effective instrument of salvation is none other than the Roman Pontificate." Pope Leo XIII, in Allocution for the 25th Anniversary of His Election, given on February 20, 1903 (quoted in "Papal Teachings: The Church", by the Benedictine Monks of Solesmes, St. Paul Editions, Boston, 1962, par. 653).
"It is necessary for salvation that all the faithful of Christ be subject to the Roman Pontiff." Fifth Lateran Council, (quoted in Apostolic Digest, by Michael Malone, Book 4: "The Book of Christians", Chapter 4: "There is No Allegiance to Christ Without Submission to the Pope").
"No man...outside the faith of the Church and obedience to the Roman Pontiff can finally be saved." Pope Clement VI, Epistle of September 29, 1351, (quoted in article "Is There Salvation Outside the Church?")
There have been various incidents in the past where the Sunday Blue laws have impacted on the citizens of the United States. Sunday laws are still on the law books of most states but they are, or should be, prevented from being enforced by Amendments to the Constitution Article I. If this amendment is ever removed the freedoms, rights and liberty of conscience which we take for granted would quickly be blown away and replaced with a modern day church-state "image" of the Middle ages. (Dr. Elliot O. Douglin, 1997 Camp Meeting.
" When the ' Bill of Rights' was born in 1791, the wall of separation between church and state became the law of the United States of America. ' Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.'" "Not until 1833 did Massechusetts abolish some of the last significant remnants of religious establishment--and this state was the last of the original thirteen states to surrender the formal traditions of pseudo-theocracy. Even then, disestablishment was not complete. One symbol of religious establishment, the Sunday blue law, remained on the books of most states." W.L. Johns in Dateline Sunday U.S.A., pp. 24-31. (Dr. Elliot O. Douglin, 1997 Camp Meeting).
Powerful/Elite Protestant Entities in America will become the image of the Roman Catholic Church's Papacy, reinstating the laws of Sunday law persecution (Rev 13:11-18). The National Sunday Law by definition will begin and apply to the United States of America, later becoming globally standardized, while the world welcomes a cashless system. America, with it's tremendous Power and Influence, as per the scriptures, written by John the Revelator, will allow the Papacy to reestablish Sunday as a Persecutory law (Rev 13:14), THE MARK OF THE BEAST. Remember, while exiled on the Isle of Patmos, John was given allegorical visions, as the Romans would have murdered him, had they been able to understand his inspired messages.
Targeted individuals in these PRESENT TIMES may be victims of High Technological Electromagnetic weaponry, disguised killings, manifested as heart attacks, myocardial infarction. Vaccinations also can no longer be trusted as they have evidenced levels of mercury attributed to child emotional problems, such as Austism, a pervasive developmental disorder. Defraud pharmaceutical companies have a share in this disguised persecution of the populous, as they infiltrate medical organizations, steering physicians away from herbal remedies, encouraging legal drugs for "treatment". Thus brethren, we must diligently heed the calling of the TRUE WITNESS, Christ, remaining obedient and INFORMED; ensuring the sealing POWER OF GOD (Rev 12:17, Rev 7:4).
Pope "Vicar of Christ" wants a Univeral Church
True Adventism is the Church of Philadelphia, uniquely obedient to God's ten commandments, loving, faithful and brotherly in character, accepting the gift of Christ's righteousness (Phil 3:9-11; Rev 3:7,8). As we understand that history will repeat itself, as the SDA church was given the precious message of RIGHTEOUSNESS by Faith (at the Minneapolis Conference by Elders Waggoner and Jones, Testimonies to Ministers pg 91,92), endorsed by EGW: for over 100 years, most rejected this PRECIOUS TRUTH, remaining lethargic and spiritually ASLEEP (Rev 3:14,15). God will move his message forward, with His True SDA remnant.
As the close of the house of God's probation approaches (1Peter 4:17), heirs remain faithful and alert, reassuring their seat at the throne of God (Rev 3:21). Today's sealing message manifests God's Divine, Infinite and Perfect Power (Rom 1:20). Eternally filled with good news, God's sealing message warrants that all chosen (Jews and Gentiles) manifest the Character of Christ, overcoming the propensity of sin (Matt 5:48, 1John 3:9). Sin is non-compliance to the Ten Commandments, the Decalogue, containing God's sanctified SABBATH governing HEAVEN and EARTH (Exo 20, 1John 3:4). Such an allegiance to Divine truth, will be the focus for those who dare to be like the Prophet Daniel and the Three Hebrews, standing for Christ, our Faithful True Witness. The ongoing work towards Sealing requires fixed, unchangeable, absolute sanctification, which comes from Christ alone. Being justified by faith, we must continue in obedience, building the Character of God (Exo 20). Mirroring the image of the Messiah, we must have Him formed fully in us, being found blameless and faultless (Gal 4:19, Col 1:27,1Thess 5:23, Jude 24,25). We must emphasize to both believers and non-believers the need to evacuate Babylon, before the world's probation closure (Rev 18:1-4, Rev 22:11). Teaching the three angel's messages to ..."every nation kindred tongue and people" is essential (Rev 14:6-12).
Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

A very engaging article, well written, and what I call "crisp." I also applaud you for you in document source citation. A great article.
We are living in serious times, requiring that we are Sealed by God (Rev 7:1-4). All Glory be to God, for He has given me the Power to write about End Time Truth (Romans 1:20). I aspire to have Christ completely within my heart and soul (Gal 4:19, Col 1:27). I thank you for your affirmations and kind words.
Sabbay :)
Wow lots of information. Have you read my "nature of the beast"? People changing there outlook of how to treat people. Peace Love Harmony and God Bless You. nos482
DEUT:27-29 explains most. The beast is as in REV: 17 is HOLLYWOOD with the woman LAS VEGAS riding upon it's powers. That is the beast that is curupting the world with the power of media influence.Mystery BABYLON THE GREAT HARLOT. I will read more of your writings.
SODOM & GOMMORAH second thought. from a servant of our LORD.
Deep, you have everything right from what I have studied. And you are smart to use outward sources too, that way people cant accuse you of being a fanatic by using only your own published sources. I assume you arent blind and realize the deceit behind the whole idea of christmas.
First and foremost, thanks for your time and comment. I love feedback. I study daily and have unraveled a fund of Paganistic Infiltration throughout most Protestant Entities in America, which have been absorbed by Apostate Churches and Doctrine (False Wine Rev 14:6-12). I stand by the Three Angel's messages aforementioned, teaching all to evacuate Spiritual Babylon, all ungodly practices. Christmas and Easter are definitely Pagan. I am diligently working at Perfecting my Character (Matt 5:48) while clothed with the Righteousness of the Messiah (Phil 3:9-11), who permits me to be Victorious over sin (1John 3:9), overcoming the World (John 16:33).

Deeply disturbed at the deliberately misleading lines about Obama's blog.
A lie is a lie.
It was not Obama... nor his staff... and allowing someone else to speak is not the same as endorsing, considering or passing.
It is actually the churches in several states that are pushing the issue... NOT the president and his administration.
And while they've pushed, they've only gotten so far as that the employer must attempt to accommodate... not that they actually have to.
Please choose your words wisely.. as you are leading his followers astray.... which is one of the worst sins if memory serves me right.
I admire Obama and what he stands for, thus far. However, I must be honest in my writing. I too have a blog and as a blog owner, one has the ability to disallow certain offensive comments. As a Sabbatarian, Enforced Sunday law poses a threat to my beliefs. Additionally, I believe that EGW was a prophet and her book the Great Controversy Chapter 35 supports the notion of a forthcoming National Enforced Sunday Law that will begin in the USA and spread throughout the world. Obama knows and understands that the Papacy has never been in favor of a separation of Church and State. My writings are aimed at readers who are interested in Biblical Truth and I have provided an interpretation that aligns with Bible Scriptures. America was founded on freedom of religion, thus I am merely presenting views that are clear and supported by facts.
God bless as we continue Perfecting Character, unto complete Victory Over sin (Matt 5:48, 1John 3:9).
From the first, Mrs. White taught that the Pope changed to Sabbath that Sunday-keeping is "the mark of the beast," and that before the end Seventh-day Adventists were to suffer great persecution because they would not cease working on Sunday. A decree was finally to go forth to slay them and rid the earth of them (Early Writings, pp. 29, 47, 55, 143, 145, ed. 1882).
After a time, on account of their aggressive ways and their strong denunciations of those who observe Sunday, a few Seventh-day Adventists were imprisoned for short periods here and there for working on Sunday, and finally two of their publishing houses, one in London and one in Basil, Switzerland, were closed out for disregarding Sunday laws and laws regulating the hours of female labor.
This set Mrs. White to thinking, and she finally had a revelation directing her people, the world over, to refrain from work on Sunday wherever the law requires it and prosecutions were threatened. They have all readily obeyed. But, following this instruction, how, then, can they ever be persecuted for Sunday work?
In Australia there was a law requiring them to close their publishing house in Melbourne on Sunday. For three Sundays, after having had notice, they did not obey. Then they were threatened with arrest. What now? Did they brave the law and take the penalty as they had always said they would? Mrs. White, their divine oracle, fortunately was right there. Did she counsel martyrdom? Oh, no! She immediately produced a revelation directing them to obey the law, close the plant on Sunday, and devote the day to the Lord in religious work just as Sunday-keepers do.
Here are her instructions in "Testimonies for the Church," Vol. IX., No. 37, published in 1909. It is a square backdown from all she had published before. It avoids all possibility of persecution for Sunday work. She says: "The light given me by the Lord at a time when we were expecting just such a crisis as you seem to be approaching was that when the people were moved by a power from beneath to enforce Sunday observance, Seventh-day Adventists were to show their wisdom by refraining from their ordinary work on that day, devoting it to missionary effort" (p. 232). "Give them no occasion to call you lawbreakers." "It will be very easy to avoid that difficulty. Give Sunday to the Lord as the day for doing missionary work."
Further on she says: "At one time those in charge of our school at Avondale [Australia] inquired of me, saying, 'What shall we do? The officers of the law have been commissioned to arrest those working on Sunday.' I replied, 'It will be very easy to avoid that difficulty. Give Sunday to the Lord as a day for doing missionary work. Take students out to hold meetings in different places, and to do medical missionary work. They will find the people at home, and will have a splendid opportunity to present the truth. This way of spending Sunday is always acceptable to the Lord'" (p. 238).
It will be readily seen that Mrs. White now directs her people to keep Sunday exactly as all conscientious Sunday observers do; that is, in holding religious meetings and doing religious work! They are to "refrain from their ordinary work on that day"; they are to "give Sunday to the Lord as a day for doing missionary work." And, to complete the somersault, they are told that "this way of spending Sunday is always acceptable to the Lord." A prospect of arrest suddenly converted Mrs. White to a zealous religious observance of Sunday. "Give the day to the Lord." And then especially notice: "This way of spending Sunday is always acceptable to the Lord." Good and true. Now, if it is acceptable to the Lord from Adventists, it must be acceptable to the Lord from Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists and others.
But the point is this: If Adventists follow this advice, how will they ever be persecuted for working on Sunday? What becomes of the prediction that an edict will be issued to kill them for violating a Sunday law? That is what Adventists have always taught before. But in 1909 they were directed to refrain from their ordinary work on Sunday, devote the day to religious exercises, and obey the law.
Thanks for the response Sabbay...
The reason I'd commented was because several members of the local church were misled and scared and blaming things that have not yet happened on the Obama administration.
And yes... I do look for a national day of rest to be passed in coming years as the average work-week stretches to 50 as employers abuse labor laws and globalization to play cultures off each other.
It only further entrenches the idea that the beast that rose from the sea (that resembles a dragon) is the US ...
And the verses that refer to the harlot that sits upon the many waters is Lady Liberty... and refers to her as a location, as a people, and as a nation and our loose morals when it comes to business and profit.
So, yes... the new world is mentioned in the bible. We're just not the good guys as we'd always hoped.
Sadly, 9-11 and the evaporation of trillions of dollars of wealth are only a warning and a tiny taste of what's to come.
The beast that rose from the sea Who is it ?
Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Beast = Kingdom/government/political power Daniel 7:17, 23
Waters/seas = Inhabited area/people, nations Revelation 17:15.
The papal rule Rose from among many people of the then known world Europe.
How ever the lamb like beast, the second beast rose from earth. see Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
If Sea represent many people then earth is the opposite, without water,or scarcely populated area.
lets look at the other features.
two horns,lamb,and dragon powers.
Lamb: who is the lamb slain ? Christ
what nation rising out of the earth as a christian nation. America of course.
two horns Protestantism and Republicanism these were the two powers enshrined in the american constitution.
The immigrants fleeing Papal persecution and kingly rule in 1978 established a new nation base on God and republicanism these are the two powers that governed America at the beginning.
So America could not be the the beast mentioned in Revelation 13:1 that blaspehemed. To blasphemed means to forgive sins or claim to be God. America never had a king or leader that made those claims however the Vatican has a leader than makes those claims.
This same beast that blaspheme is prophecy to come in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-123 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
America will play a part in the time of the end.
So will the papacy The Vatican.
yes, this is very true.
blame the book/movie TWILIGHT for this, and its author Stephanie Meyer.
for Twilight ruined the literature, and now, since the beginning of time when Adam and Eve ate the apple, blame twilight
to Jesus Crucifixion, blame twilight
to Hitler's dictatorship, blame twilght
to the fall of WTC, blame twilight
for all the cruelties and atrocities in this world, blame Stephanie Meyer and the book of twilight, for now we can truly say God hates us all.
humans are really mindless creatures in dirt, for a lot of humans loved twilight, and in 2012 shall the world end, again, blame twilght.
Hey 'Saint With a Gun', not so bleak if you please! God is hopping mad with the majority of us, but even the worst of us have a chance of redemption if we're truely sorry.
Sabbay, how do you spend the Sabbath, and what are the actual hours of the Sabbath? Can I play sport on Friday night, have a little wine and not offend God?
Are you from nor-cal. Cause there is this big trailer on the side if interstate 5 with your words on it.
Saturday is black sabbath Sunday is the mark of the beast.
What the heck does it mean? I've read your entire article, and i still don't get it? Anyway, it's perplexing, and it causes me to think and dive more deeply into the bible and stuff. I hope some meaning comes to me.
And what's up with your many truncated thoughts, or ideas your are expressing? I with they would continue and not end so open ended. Just a suggestion.
Later, Colin.
As a fellow Christian it is important that we do our best to remain faithful and true to Jesus Christ and to be ready at all times because we do not know the day nor hour of his return. But as Christians we should look to what unites us, not what divides us. In fact to break apart comes from the greek word diabolein, which in turn is the origin of our words for devil and diabolical.
There is quite alot regarding prophecy today and many are using this to incite fear and confusion, and to promote division. You seem to be quite driven by a deep dislike for the papacy and Roman Catholicism. As a Roman Catholic myself, I would have to dispute much of what you have written regarding your literal interpretation of texts and passages.
I am not so aware of Protestant prophecy, but I am well versed in Catholic seers and visionaries and Church teaching, and there are common threads that we share regarding end times.
But putting all this aside I think Jesus would prefer us to promote His gospel message of love of God and neighbour, to help each other,to promote justice and peace and most importantly not to judge so harshly our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ.Let's be a light to others, by which to lead others, and not to blind them.
For such strong argument and brain twisting allegations and tainted theology I dare say that the reference is too skimpy.RHETORICS, RHETORICS.... Keep it REAL & TRUE. 'Teach'
I would like to know why it is that such a big issue is made by sabbath keepers concerning those who have their servcices on Sundays and even say or hint or believe that those who worship on Sundays have or will have the mark of the beast or variatiosn of that view, and yet use a Bible translation that has been translated by people who were staunch "sunday Worshippers" and that most of the hymns and Music adventist sing or have in their Hymnals were written by "sunday worshippers" By the way God wants us to worship Him every day. To Worship in spirit and in truth. God Bless you.
Some time before, I really needed to buy a building for my firm but I didn't earn enough cash and couldn't purchase something. Thank goodness my colleague proposed to try to take the home loans at reliable bank. Hence, I did so and was happy with my collateral loan.

Company DetailsUpdate
WineLog is a new take on mixing social networking and user generated content to help users keep track and rate the wines they've tried while getting recommendations from others. In specific, WineLog proposes custom wine recommendations based on user preferences.
The idea is quite simple: Most people base their wine decisions on magazine reviews and ratings. The problem with this approach is that general reviews and ratings do not take specific wine preferences into account. WineLog's recommendation system allows users to compare their recorded comments and ratings to those of other WineLog users. For example, if two users both highly rate one brand of chardonnay, then it is likely that they will also enjoy other similar types of chardonnay. Their respective WineLogs display the chardonnays highly rated by the other user and proposes them as wines that they may also enjoy. The more wines users enter into their log, the more specific their wine recommendations will be.
Competitors include Snooth, TasteVine, Vinorati, and the very 1.0 WineSearcher.

Relax in the serenity of Riviera Maya, Mexico
The Riviera Maya is an area of natural beauty along the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Originally it was a hub for religious activity and trade, with remnants of its past still present in the ruins of Tulum and Playa del Carmen. To step back in time, tour an archaeological dig and uncover a piece of ancient Mayan civilization. Cozumel, a major hub, began as a ferry stop, but its sandy borders, quaint villages and attractive reefs turned the area into a popular vacation destination. Divers from all over the world come to Riviera Maya to explore the Great Mayan Reef, the world's second-largest reef system. Uncover a secret cave among the hidden underground river system or simply relax on one of the gorgeous beaches.
Things to do
The beaches along the Riviera Maya are filled with pristine white sand and turquoise water. Puerto Morelos is the main beach in the middle of town. With its serene atmosphere, it is the ideal place to gather your thoughts. Akumal, "Land of Turtles," is another beach spot filled with interesting and unique wildlife. The peaceful and crystal-clear water makes it a snorkeler's paradise.
It is simple to grab your scuba mask and uncover the hidden world, or you can simply watch others dive into the underground rivers and explore the coves from the comfort of a boat.
Historical attractions
There are various archaeological sites throughout the Riviera Maya. The Tulum is one of the most popular archaeological attractions in the area. Numerous tours are available to explore this ancient city where monuments and temples abound. To get a good sense of Mexican culture, participate in a traditional Mayan sweat lodge ceremony. This type of event is often held in many of the local resorts.
Riviera Maya holds a wide range of shopping options, from unique boutiques to roadside markets. Playa del Carmen is at the center of retail therapy in the area. It is home to Fifth Avenue, a pedestrian street that is packed with high-end shops, souvenir stores and stalls filled with handcrafted items. Do not be afraid to try for a bargain; most shop owners in the area enjoy haggling and discussing their wares with customers.
At Playa del Carmen, you will be able to find great deals on chocolate, tequila and jewelry. Sterling silver is quite popular in the region, but make sure to purchase pieces from a legitimate store. A bit further north, you will hit the town of Puerto Morelos. Here, local handcrafted items are reasonably priced. You will find beautiful paintings, carvings and blankets.
The Riviera Maya has undergone a culinary renaissance. Guests enjoy new restaurants and emerging chefs. Gourmet dining options are becoming readily available at Playa del Carmen and the Hotel Zone.
Getting there
Travelers flying to the area tend to arrive at Cancun international airport (CUN). It's one of the busiest airports in the Caribbean with transport links to Playa del Carmen, 32 miles to the south. Cozumel Airport (CZM) also offers international connections to the region.
Where to stay
Many travelers tend to take advantage of all-inclusive resorts that offer free meals and other great amenities. However, there are smaller Riviera Maya hotels as well. These places offer Caribbean charm, traditional hospitality and Mexican style.
Special events
The Riviera Maya is very ethnically diverse, and the area hosts numerous festivals. The "Day of the Dead" is celebrated by the locals who gather in cemeteries to keep the souls of the deceased company. Xcaret hosts a large celebration filled with fine food, art exhibits, live music and energetic dancing to commemorate this day. Other events include the Riviera Maya Jazz Festival and the International Movie and Food Festival.
Best time to visit
July and August are the busy months, and prices reflect that fact. The rainy season occurs May to December. Most ruins remain covered during this time. For the best weather, consider visiting the Riviera Maya December through April.

What can I say about Miley Cyrus that hasn't already been said? From her provocative new look to her scandalous performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, she has had people talking. Cyrus' new album, "Bangerz," came out about a month ago, and has received just as much hype as Cyrus herself. The album is a fresh, new take on the ongoing culture change in modern American society.
Most people know the backstory of Cyrus. Daughter of famed country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, she got her start on the Disney Channel. Her show, "Hannah Montana," was one of the most popular children's shows in the late 2000s and put Miley Cyrus in the spotlight. Now she has broken away from that good-girl image and is living a very different lifestyle. This new presentation was displayed fully in Cyrus' VMA performance, which enraged many parents who said her image was too provocative for the once-innocent star. She has become one of the biggest names in music. People debate whether Cyrus is a marketing genius or as dumb as a post. The latter is looking less and less likely each day.
"I'm not just some mess. This is all thought out in my mind," Cyrus says in an MTV documentary called "Miley: The Movement." "You're always going to make people talk, you might as well make them talk for two weeks rather than two seconds." This is especially hard to do in today's world of technology. Information is coming and going a mile a minute, and it can be difficult for an artist to stay relevant. It is through social media that Cyrus keeps her edge. Collectively she has almost 500 million YouTube views on her videos, 14 million Twitter followers and 30 million likes on Facebook. These are the outlets Cyrus uses to stay in the minds of young people, and it is pure marketing gold.
Now we finally have an album, a full body of work, to get the whole picture of the new Miley. "Bangerz" draws inspiration from many different places – from the country twang in "4x4," the funk of "#GETITRIGHT," and the hip-hop vibe of songs like "Love Money Party" and the lead single "We Can't Stop." In between these fun pop songs, Cyrus is not afraid to show a more vulnerable side in songs like "Someone Else" and the single "Wrecking Ball." The album never has a dull moment as it is constantly throwing different styles and grooves at listeners. This is certainly an impressive piece of work from the young pop star, and it shows everything Cyrus wants it to show. It's new, provocative, sassy and very in your face, just like Cyrus. This album really showcases the new direction music is going, which is very exciting for teens. Cyrus explains her new sound and image better than anyone, "You have to be young, I feel like, to understand it, and otherwise you're just fascinated by it!"

As Chicago Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman heads to Minneapolis for the NHL draft on Friday and Saturday, his work for next season's team heats up when he returns.
Bowman said Wednesday he would start dealing with the Hawks' restricted free agents next week, and that's when tough decisions will be made, if they haven't been made already.
"We've made some decisions on our own, but we are not going to be announcing them now," Bowman said. "We've got ideas. There are going to be changes. We're not bringing everyone back."
He's talking more than just Marty Turco and Tomas Kopecky, who are unrestricted free agents and have little chance at returning. Bowman said Alexander Salak was going to be given the chance to be Corey Crawford's back-up, saying he was the "best goaltender in Europe" last season, so that nearly officially closes the door on Turco. But that's not news or a surprise.
As for Kopecky, unless he wants to ignore his career season and forego a raise to stay, he will undoubtedly test the market as that is his best chance in his career to cash in.
Bowman indicated the Hawks would have room to add players, but he must have been talking about the Hawks' salary cap situation after shedding more salary. Despite the rise in the NHL cap to near $64 million, it still means the Hawks need to make some tough decisions. As is, they have approximately $54 million committed to 16 players. It leaves about $10 million for six players, assuming a 22-man roster. But in reality, it's considerably less than $10 million. The Hawks need to save some room for injuries and Bowman was quick to point out the extra cap room could come in handy later.
"The additional flexibility will help us not only in the summer but during the season as well," he said.
So it's probably closer to $7-$8 million the Hawks have to spend. Three restricted free agents, Michael Frolik, Chris Campoli and Troy Brouwer will take up a good bulk of that money -- if they all return. Combined, think $5 million-$5.5 million. Barring a trade, it doesn't leave much room for a high priced newcomer.
The bottom line is whether the salary cap was going to go up or not the Hawks were going to have to say goodbye to one of their millionaires, and one way or another signs still point to Brouwer as being the guy who could go.
Brouwer is set to make at least $2 million next season as he is eligible for arbitration, and his numbers dictate a nice raise from his $1 million salary of 2010-11. But with the emergence of Ben Smith and even Marcus Kruger, there may not be a place for Brouwer among the Hawks' top nine forwards.
Patrick Sharp, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Smith, Dave Bolland, Marian Hossa, Bryan Bickell, Frolik and Kruger figure to be in the mix as top nine guys to start the season. Brouwer fits there as well, but his salary may not. Line up general managers across the league and all would take Brouwer as a better talent and player than Bickell, but at $525,000, Bickell's 17 goals are a steal. Plus, Bickell and Frolik proved they could be third-line contributors come playoff time, so they've created more flexibility for themselves.
Brouwer isn't going to play the fourth line making over $2 million. Bickell could play there, but it still handcuffs the Hawks in terms of bringing in some edgier players -- who they need -- but might command a little more than the minimum. And it certainly puts a stranglehold on the Hawks' ability to acquire a big ticket center unless it's via a trade where a high priced player, say Niklas Hjalmarsson, is moved.
Unless the Hawks break up their core on defense, at least one of their restricted free agents, if not more, on offense, will be gone by opening night. Viktor Stalberg is another candidate to be moved which could save the Hawks a few dollars. Though he did his best in a fourth line role, it's not his strong suit and the Hawks need some size and grit to return to that line.
Campoli could also be moved since the Hawks are deeper at the blue line now than they were a year ago at this time, but the Hawks blueprint for success has always started with their defense. Keeping Brouwer over Campoli doesn't sound like a choice the Hawks would make.
Bowman promised changes. There is little doubt he'll follow through on that promise.

"This is the story of the period between two world wars--an interim during which insanity cut loose, liberty took a nose dive, and humanity was kicked around somewhat." With this pithy opening title, Charles Chaplin begins his first all-talking feature film, The Great Dictator. During World War I, a Jewish barber (Chaplin) in the army of Tomania saves the life of high-ranking officer Schultz (Reginald Gardiner). While Schultz survives the conflict unscathed, the barber is stricken with amnesia and bundled off to a hospital. Twenty years pass: Tomania has been taken over by dictator Adenoid Hynkel (Chaplin again) and his stooges Garbitsch (Henry Daniell) and Herring (Billy Gilbert). Hynkel despises all Jews and regularly wreaks havoc on the Tomanian Jewish ghetto, where feisty Hannah (Paulette Goddard) lives. Meanwhile, the little barber escapes from the hospital and instinctively heads back to his cobweb-laden ghetto barber shop. Unaware of Hynkel's policy towards Jews (in fact, he's unaware of Hynkel), the barber gets into a slapstick confrontation with a gang of Aryan storm troopers. He is rescued by his old friend Schultz, now one of Hynkel's most loyal officers. Thanks to Schultz's protection, the ghetto receives a brief respite from Hynkel's persecution. The barber sets up shop again, developing a warm platonic relationship with the lovely Hannah. But things take a sorry turn when Hynkel, angered that a Jewish banker has refused to finance his impending war with Austerlitz, begins bearing down again on the Ghetto. Near the end of the film, when the dictator is expected to make another one of his hate-filled, war-mongering speeches, the barber steps up to the microphones...and Charles Chaplin drops character and becomes "himself," delivering an impassioned plea for peace, tolerance, and humanity. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

National symposium rolls dice on Tunica
Topping 37 cities from across the nation, Tunica is now in the running to host an up and coming conference on social media this fall.
In early March, Tunica was included as one of 37 possible sites to host the 2011 Symposium on the Use of Social Media in the Tourism Industry. Dubbed SoMeT by its creators, the event is in its second year. Last year, it brought in 100 industry professionals to Loudoun, VA, near Washington, D.C.
The push to bring the symposium to Tunica was led by the Convention and Visitors Bureau, after one of its own attended the inaugural event last year.

Well, somebody kissed him to the tune of $10 million.
I am pretty giddy that the most recent polls have Newt behind by 11 points. I still will not hold my breath till I see actual voting results. Polls are just a story of bad sampling when it comes to the media. Still, it has been nice seeing the so-called "smart and savvy" Newt really sink himself in Florida and the folks there "might" be waking up... might. We'll see.

Eco Finds at the Future Perfect
Future Perfect. We're enamored with Sarah Chiat's re-glazed china featuring witty, peek-a-boo designs. We also have word that she's coming out with new dishes soon, so stay tuned!
Natalie Kruch's Balloon side table for Umbra, we think originally featured discarded balloons. We're not sure if it still does, but either way, it's inspiring to see materials used in a unique way.
Finally, Joel Voisard's E-box ottomans, which double as storage, combine factory boxes from the 1920's with re-purposed stereo knobs or vintage casters.
