THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY The Mystery of Iniquity --- Part 1 What is the history of this "The Mystery of Iniquity" which Paul warns against? How did this power that thinks to change God's times and laws, foretold in Daniel, come about? There is much in history to show the horrific struggle that went on as the devil tries to overthrow God's commandments and set up his own counterfeit religion --- all in the name of Christ! The speed with which early Christianity tobogganed into apostasy takes one's breath away! The devil lost no time at all in attacking what Christ had set up. We often look to C onstantine as the "initiator" but, sad to say, many falsehoods had already crept into the church — especially those situated in the more powerful centers of Alexandra and Rome, long before Constantine came on scene. One thing we really need to be aware of — apostasy does not start with a decree. Apostasy did not start with Constantine, it was not initiated by Constantine -- it is the church that changed Saturday to Sunday, not Constantine -- Constantine only provided the catalyst and conducive climate that enabled the church to set up it's counterfeit abominations. Constantine's decree marked the beginning of legislative efforts to instal Sunday in the place of God's Holy Day. It is true that if C hristianity had remain ed true to it's virgin doctrines, Constantine's laws and councils and plans could not have affected the church. They would have rather laid down their lives than join Constantine's paganized idea of the union of beliefs. Yet, the church in Rome joined Constantine quite willingly and then turned to lead the rest of Christianity into conformity. The same is happening today! The Mystery of Iniquity first seeks to weaken true faith and cast doubts, using deceptive influences to break the commitment of people to truth, before it can move in more radical, legal measures to achieve it's ends. This is what we witness upon this forum — the constant barrage of deceptions to weaken the commitment of Adventists to the pure doctrines and thus preparing them to accept, with little or no protest, when the radical, legal measures start to move in. Remember, in the last
