After Jesus resurrected, the church met on Sunday which is the first day of the week
(see Act 20:7 & l Cor 1-2). Also, Jesus mentions to keep the 10 commandments except He leaves out the Sabbath which is the 7th day, Saturday (Mat 18:17-19) although He kept it to fulfill the law. Col 2:16-17 actually says not to let people judge you concerning the Sabbaths since it was just a shadow of what was to come. You can keep this day or that day to meet for church and it is still wise to have at least one day to rest from work. Some people say not to meet on Sunday but every day is a day the Lord has made. The Sabbath was strictly for the Old Testament and Jesus phased that commandment out since it is just a shadow of the real rest to come which is heaven where man rests from his labors (Rev 14:13).

Iran Persecuting Christians
Iran as a government has officially been promoting the apocrypha book "The Gospel of Barnabas" which is not a part of the Bible and was written after it was completed. That so called lost gospel has a passage that says "Allah" is the true god and is hailed as a book that destroys Christianity. Iran is also confiscating Bibles and persecuting those who are Christians. The truth is this:
This is an acceleration of the world persecution predicted in the Bible. It does not help that we have a pro Muslim in President Obama who is himself attacking the churches here to conform them to his paganism, forced homosexuality in marriage, adding it to the military and forced abortion on churches. The Barnabas Gospel is a fraud written after the N.T. was completed. Allah was the name of a pagan god, a Moon god, which was one of many gods the people in that area worshiped. An idol of Allah, among others, was taken out of the Kaba (holy shrine in Mecca) by Mohamed when he went there. How can the name of a pagan god, Allah, be the one true god? It can't. That is where the crescent moon falls in place to Muslims although many of them don't even know it since they are not taught it by their spiritual leaders. Older encyclopedias can tell you this. Christians should pray that God removes President Obama from office and that a better person takes his place.
The psalmist prophesied in the second psalm that God had a Son as did the prophet Isaiah in his 9th chapter. Jesus is that "Son: who came and died and was resurrected to come again to judge the world and nations for their sins. Jesus confirmed to the the Jewish high priest, Caiaphas, when questioned if he was the Son of God by answering "it is as you say" (Gospel of Matthew chapter 26 verses 63- 64). The Gospel of John includes the theme that Jesus is the Son of God. One of the most notable instances is in the 9th chapter where after Jesus healed a blind man He confirmed to him that He was the Son of God!

Regarding Matthew chapter 24, verses 1-4:
The first thing Jesus told his disciples to be aware of, concerning events to come before his return, was to beware that no one deceive them. Some people will actually say they are Jesus and try to mislead people. There are also the more common deceptions of people who profess to be Christians or church leaders that teach doctrines that are not found in the Bible and distort the scriptures and the nature of Jesus and God.
The scripture says that many will be decieved. You can only be decieved if you put other beliefs first before the scriptures of the Bible. Supernatural events or experiences must not be placed as more important than the word of God. We walk by faith not by sight. The more familiar you are with the Bible, the harder it will be to be decieved. It is often said that the more familiar one is with a real dollar bill the easier it is to spot a counterfit one.

The Events That Will Happen Before Jesus Returns
Jesus came to Earth to live as a man to die for the sins of all mankind to provide forgiveness and a way to heaven to be with the Heavenly Father. After Jesus was resurrected from the dead he reappeared to his disciples and told them that He would come back again.
Jesus had told his disciples that certain events would happen before He came back. The 24th chapter of the book of Matthew tells of some main things that would happen as the time for Jesus to return comes closer. There are other scriptures that also reveal more on this subject. The next few postings will cover some of these events to come. They are very important because besides preparing followers of Jesus to know what events will lead to His return, they also prove that Jesus as the Son of God, knows the future.
