The prophecy of Daniel 7 forewarned all that the ecclesiastical power that was to rise upon the division of the Roman Empire would _think_ to change the times and the laws of the Most High. The Papacy steps forward and claims boldly that the church has power to set aside Scripture, to institute holy times, and even to change the day made holy and commanded by the Almighty as the day of rest for His people. In a Catholic work, "An Abridgment of the Christian Doctrine," by Dr. Henry Turberville, page 61, we read: "_Question._--By whom was the change [of the Sabbath] made? "_Answer._--By the rulers of the church, the apostles who kept the Lord's day.... "_Ques._--How do you prove that the church hath power to establish feasts and holy days? "_Ans._--By the very fact of changing the Sabbath to Sunday; this change Protestants allow; and therefore they contradict themselves by keeping Sunday strictly and breaking most other feasts commanded by the same church. "_Ques._--How prove you that? "_Ans._--Because by keeping Sunday they acknowledge the church's power to ordain feasts and to command them under sin; and by not keeping the rest commanded by her, they deny that she has power." It is the doctrine taught in the standard catechisms of the Roman Church: "_Question._--Have you any other way of proving that the church has power to institute festivals of precept? "_Answer._--Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her,--she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority."--_Keenan's "Doctrinal Catechism," p. 174._ Thus the Papacy proclaims itself the power that has _thought_ to change the precepts of the Most High. On every count, the Roman Church is the counterpart of the little horn of Daniel 7. Before our eyes--in the common practice of Christendom--the commandment of God regarding sacred time is made void by the traditions of men. The prophecy indicated that there would come a call for a reformation in this matter. Speaking of the warfare against the saints and the times and laws of the Most High, to be waged by the little-horn power, the angel said: "They shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." Dan. 7:25. In other words, when the 1260 years should expire, we should expect, according to the prophecy, to see a breaking of the Papacy's persecuting power over believers, a spreading abroad of the Holy Scriptures, and a work of reformation that would lift up the truths of God's Word, and call believers to keep once again the holy time and the holy law of the Most High.
