Has humanity somehow misplaced the very day God sanctified at Creation? Scripture declares plainly: “Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it” (Genesis 2:3, NKJV). The Fourth Commandment reinforces it: “The seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God” (Exodus 20:10). The question is not whether God made a specific day holy — He did.

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” — 1 Corinthians 15:26 FEW SUBJECTS are more sobering—or more misunderstood—than death. Yet the Bible calls death an "enemy", not a friend, and certainly not a doorway into another conscious world.

For many, Halloween is just a harmless night of fun, candy, and make-believe. But beneath the surface of its festivities lies a deeper spiritual concern—a “trick” that many do not see.
