4158 — Mohammedans and the Sunday

By John Norton Loughborough

When the great apostasy holds full sway again, and presses legal Sunday keeping on the world, will it bring the Mohammedans in subjection to them in the change of their day of worship from Friday to Sunday? J. L. L.

In the first place, Mohammedans keep only about an hour of Friday, or the sixth day. It has not very much sacredness in their minds—simply a little time for offering prayer. In all probability, the whole world will join in the legal Sunday. It will simply be to many a legal day. That is all that will be required. To some it will be religious. Some will not see in it the worship of the beast power. Even the great heathen countries at the present time are talking seriously of making the first day of the week a mere legal rest day. There will no doubt be more or less struggle between Christianity and Mohammedanism. There are prophecies which seem clearly to indicate it. But the nominal Christian powers which are apostate will be triumphant until our Lord shall come. When He takes to Himself His great power and reigns, all apostasy will be swept away.
