The Sun Is Setting on the British Empire

Humanity is accelerating toward the fulfillment of Bible prophecy and the events warned of in Revelation 13-18. Ecumenism is bringing Protestantism back into harmony with the Papacy. The wall of separation between church and state is under attack from religeonists who covet state power to compel their dogmas on the human population.


We have passed another signpost. The Church of England split from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534 during the Reformation over a dispute about papal authority and the annulment of Henry VIII’s marriage.


As a result of this schism, Anglicans have long had an established creed similar to the Westminster Confession of the Reformed Church. Like the Westminster Confession, the “39 Articles of Anglicanism” formally rejects the papal claim to universal supremacy for the Bishop of Rome.


The 39 Articles of Anglicanism include the following:

  1. “As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch, have erred, so also the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in their living and manner of Ceremonies, but also in matters of Faith”;
  2. “The Romeish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshiping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God”,
  3. “It is a thing plainly repugnant to the Word of God, and the custom of the Primitive Church to have public Prayer in the Church, or to minister the Sacraments, in a tongue not understanded of the people”,
  4. “Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, are not commanded by God's Law, either to vow the estate of single life, or to abstain from marriage: therefore it is lawful for them, as for all other Christian men, to marry at their own discretion, as they shall judge the same to serve better to godliness”, and
  5. The Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction in this Realm of England.”


The Popes assert they “hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty”. England rejected these boastful claims and the Pope’s presumptuous authority to dominate the minds and hearts of humanity. It is not a coincidence that while many other European countries were suffering under the oppression of the Inquisition, England was advancing toward empire. So vast was is influence at one time it was famously even claimed that “the sun never sets on the British empire”.


But a great change has come. For some decades England, which never sufficiently distanced herself from Rome doctrineally, has been increasingly friendly toward the Papacy. Today, the globalism of the Roman pontiff is the globalism of King Charles III. The climate change agendas of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV are also shared by King Charles III, the latter of who’s father publicly advocated for population reduction and compared humanity to a “plague”. England is also adopting digital IDs and carrying out mass surveillance and censorship on its own citizens, a practice near to the hearts of the prelates of Rome, to be sure.


And now, King Charles III, who holds the title of not only king but Supreme Governor of the Anglican Church, is headed to Rome to hold a public prayer ceremony with Pope Leo XIV.


The leader of the Anglican Church has not engaged in public prayer with the Bishop of Rome for approximately 500 years. According to the Royal Palace, “This will be the first state visit, since the Reformation, where the Pope and the Monarch will pray together in an ecumenical service in the Sistine Chapel, and the first time the monarch will have attended a service in St Paul’s Outside the Walls, a church with an historic connection to the English Crown.”


According to MSN News, Charles III will also accept a new title. “Charles is also being recogenised for the British monarchy’s historic association with the Papal Basilica of St Paul’s Outside the Walls in Rome, the seat of a Benedictine Abbey, and will be made “Royal Confrater” of the abbey.”


Rome never changes. The Papacy has not retreated one letter from its false doctrines. It still claims authority over this earth. It still teaches the false doctrine of purgatory and forbids priests to marry, as well as many more false doctrines which Protestants, including Anglicans, object to. So why this ecumenical development today? The change is with the Anglican Church, which is drifting back toward the once-estranged mother as prophecy foretells. The light of sola scriptura that was brought to England by the Bible is being rejected. It seeks the company of the pope, the pretender to the throne of Christ. Like Israel of old, Anglicanism will say, “we have no king but Caesar.”


Of all the Protestant denominations, Anglicanism is the closest to Catholicism. The pageantry and formal rites still have many similarities. England mirrors the union of church and state of Roman Catholicism by unifying church and state in the person of the monarch of England. It has no pope, but it has a king who claims to be the head of the church.


Now that king will go to Rome. All roads lead there, it is said, and Protestantism has set itself to prove it.

The sun is setting on the British empire after all.

Bible prophecy watchers are increasingly focused on current events indicating a union of church and state is being formed in America. On March 3, 2024, it was widely reported that US military commanders are informing their soldiers that the war in Iran is part of “God’s divine plan, and that Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus” to commence the battle of Armageddon and hasten the second coming of Christ. This overtly religious and apocalyptic messaging to the troops has resulted in well over a hundred lawsuits from 40 different military units on the grounds that it violates the separation of church and state in the Constitution. Which of course it do Holy wars are overtly religious affairs. It doesn’t get much more “union of church and state” than declaring that bombing another country is biblically mandated (and justified) by the book of Revelation and commanded by Jesus Christ. Apostate Protestant America has formed an image to the Roman Papacy, which instigated the crusades centuries before . The truth is that US foreign policy in the Middle East has long been influenced by Christians who hold false dispensational beliefs about the end of the world and the second coming of Christ. These beliefs include That whoever blesses Israel will be blessed by God; That the temple in Jerusalem must be rebuilt to usher in end time events; That the secret rapture will occur at the start of a seven year tribulation during which the antichrist will rule the world; That the battle of Armageddon will be fought by the nations of the world on the plains of Megiddo, in modern day northern Israel; That following these events Jesus Christ will return and there will be a 1000 year millenium on this earth where the nations of the earth reign with Christ.  Stay tuned – this is a developing story.

Part 1 When the Heritage Foundation proposed to penalize employers who operated their businesses on Sunday by requiring them to pay workers time-and-a-half wages, thereby “encouraging” Sunday closing, there were Bible prophecy watchers who took note. The proposal was detailed in the document entitled, “Project 2025”, and was released to coincide with the election which would culminate in the election of Donald Trump as President. On January 8, 2026, the Heritage Foundation released a further and much more explicit document calling for the enforcement of Sunday blue laws for the good of the nation. The document appeals to lawmakers to “re-establish a shared day of rest for American workers” and to “protect Sunday as a day of rest, reflection, and family time.” The proposal can be read here . If you think the Heritage Foundation is irrelevant, think again. Tom Homan, Russel Vought, John Ratcliffe, Jonathan Berry, Karolyn Leavitt, Brendan Carr, Stephen Navarro, Stephen Miller, and many more, are all from the Heritage Foundation. Newsweek stated in March 2025 that at least 31 people linked to Project 2025 had been given government roles. i In addition, nearly 30% of Republican members of Congress employ at least one former Heritage staffer. That’s a whole lot of influence. That same Heritage Foundation claims that Sunday blue laws are necessary for the good of America so that it can prosper for the next 250 years. It is calling on government, the same government that has so many of its members in official positions, to compel the observance of Sunday. But Sunday is a common workday. It is one of the “six days thou shalt labor”, according to the Bible in Exodus 20:9. Yes, most of Christianity honors it as the “Lord’s Day”, but it’s the papacy who claims to have the power to change the Sabbath from the seventh day to the first day of the week, ii and keeping Sunday sacred is honoring “lord god the Pope”. But that is not stopping so-called Christians from calling to impose their dogmas on American society using state power. Make no mistake – this quickly growing relationship between the church and state is a fulfilment of Bible prophecy. Religious leaders are wooing the state, and the state is wooing them. Trump showered religious leaders with remarkable promises in order to get re-elected: He would restore Christianity’s influence in American public life and protect religious freedoms; He would bring God back into the public square, and reverse the decline of religion under the Biden administration; He committed to specific policy actions, including establishing a task force to combat “anti-Christian bias,” supporting school vouchers for religious schools, ending the contraception mandate from Obamacare, and appointing anti-abortion judges to the federal courts, including the Supreme Court; He promised to repeal the Johnson Amendment, allowing churches to endorse political candidates without losing tax-exempt status; He promised to defend Christian symbols like the cross; He emphasized alignment with evangelical priorities, such as opposing transgender participation in women’s sports, supporting prayer in schools, and displaying the Ten Commandments in public classrooms; and He framed his campaign as a "righteous crusade" to restore America as "one nation under God," appealing to conservative Christians by portraying himself as a protector of their values and a tool for national spiritual revival. He did not stop there. At a Turning Point USA event in July 2024, Trump informed the gatherers that if they vote for him in 2024 election, "in four years, you don't have to vote again." iii He said, "Christians, get out and vote, just this time.” "I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote.” "In four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote." You won't have to do it anymore... We'll have it fixed so good, you're not going to have to vote." Now, and somewhat parenthetically, you would think that any candidate’s election promise to end all elections once in office would be absolutely fatal to that candidate’s chances. In any sane world, that would create alarm bells that would shatter the ear drums of a people who value their liberty and their right to self-determination. But you would be wrong. And we do not live in a sane world. Sanity got left fifty stops back. The political abuse of the left has created an unquenchable thirst for power in Christian circles. They are done with turning the other cheek. Climate change, abortion, gay marriage? Atheism, secularism, transgenderism? It’s payback time. Forget, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. No. That is finished. Now its, “Do unto others as they did unto you.” That’s not the golden rule, folks. That’s the law of iron. “You made our kids to listen to your trannies in the library? Now your kids will listen to our priests and pastors. Ever hear of eternal hell? Well, you will. Tax dollars funded your woke public school programs, now they will fund our Old Time Religion.” “You aborted millions of babies? Now your women will be chained in the kitchen, unable to vote, iv and they will make baby after baby after baby.” “You said there was no God? Now you will go to church instead of Walmart, because guess what? Walmart is closed on the Lord’s Day.” The Heritage Foundation claims forcing people not to work on Sunday will save America, but forced religious observance has always created oppression and hypocrisy, which is why America dispensed with it at its founding, and constitutionalized a strict separation of church and state. In Europe, and later in the American colonies, cruelty and oppression marked the enforcement of religious laws by the state. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”, states the First Amendment. They had seen the oppression firsthand. Enforced idleness also breeds crime. Idleness. Abuse. Dissipation. Gainful work that might be done is criminalized and persecuted on the basis of religion. Crime stats rise significantly on the weekends because people are idle. The Heritage Foundation hides the cruelty in its proposals. They omit the ugly and tyrannical result of their compulsory Sunday laws. Civil laws impose punishments for their breach. Historically, people who worked on Sunday were fined and imprisoned for breach of blue laws. They ended up on chain gains, imprisoned, and executed. Eventually, the Bible states that all who will not accept this “mark” of the authority of the beast, Sunday sacredness, will be prohibited from buying and selling, and condemned to death – Revelation 13:15. The beast system is being built to impose the mark of the beast. Even secular non-religious people call the digital cage being constructed around us “the beast system”. Bible prophecy, so long ignored, so long doubted, is being fulfilled.

As ecumenical dialogue sweeps the planet and the Protestant denominations return to their mother, as Revelation 17 prophesied, we wish to remind the remaining Protestants on the fence of the history of the Reformation: please remember your history, and who you are thinking of going back to. At the heart of the Reformation, is the issue of sola scriptura. The Bible is the Word of God. It is the sole rule of faith. The Papacy has always put itself above the Word of God. Like the serpent of old, it says, “hath God said?”, and insinuates itself between man and God. The Pope “opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Nothing has changed in the Papacy. The change is in Protestantism. Please consider where you are going before it is forever too late.
