SUNDAY MORNING

    "Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there were women weeping for Tammuz.
    "And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east."  (Ezekiel 8: 14, 16)

   Sunday morning is the time when sun worshippers worldwide gather in their respective places to gaze at the sun arising from the east in worship and adoration of the sun god, or the god of the sun.
   Dies Solis  is Latin for Day of the Sun, and which, according to Rome, is Sunday.
   This idea was transported to Rome by pagan priests from Egyptian astrology, and Sunday became the official day of worship in Rome.
    But the Romans did more than make Sunday the official day of worship.  They also gave names to all of the planets as Rome became the leader in the worship of gods of the universe and thereby spreading paganism worldwide from behind the walls of Christianity, which became the State Religion of the Roman Empire under Constantine the Great, Emperor of Rome.

MERCURY:   Roman goddess winged messenger.
VENUS:         Roman god of love.

   Sol Invictus is Latin for The Unconquered Sun, the sun god, Sol.
   "Constantine celebrated Sol as the grantor of imperial power to the emperor."  (Encyclopedia.com)

ASTROLOGY:  "The divination of the supposed influences of the stars and planets on human affairs and terrestrial events by their positions and aspects."  (Merriam-Webster)

   "For the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth."              (Genesis 8: 21)

   Sun worship and Roman gods are a work of man's imagination.  They are not real, yet they are believed to be real by people, in their own imaginations, because of the same evil power that abides in man's heart, leading them to turn their faces against God, Creator of the universe.

   "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  But made himself of no reputation, and was made in the likeness of men:  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
   "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above all names:
   "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
   "And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."  (Philippians 2: 5-11)
