Read 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6. What admonition does the apostle Paul give us regarding the last days of human history? The apostle Paul urged the believers at Thessaloniki to “watch” and “be sober” in the context of the second coming of Christ.

Colossians 2:16-17 Colossians 2:16-17 [16]Therefore let no one sit in judgment on you in matters of food and drink, or with regard to a feast day or a New Moon or a Sabbath.

Whoever changed the days and times, who also compared people NOT to observe the Teachings of the Bible, is he not the one judging? Daniel 7:24-25. Please take your time to read the Bible and understand the content.
