This sermon explores the historical, cultural, and prophetic foundations of the Seventh-day Adventist understanding of the Sabbath and end-time events. It traces how the Sabbath message—long preached but often overlooked—has recently gained national visibility through moments such as Ben Carson’s presidential candidacy, the film Hacksaw Ridge, and especially Charlie Kirk’s bestselling book advocating Sabbath rest. Drawing from Scripture, prophecy, and modern discussions on religious liberty and the state of the dead, the presentation shows how current trends are aligning with biblical predictions that a global test of worship and allegiance is coming. As Sabbath awareness grows in America and beyond, the sermon calls believers to seize this moment, share God’s message with clarity and compassion, and faithfully prepare for the final events foretold in Revelation.
