Much work has been done to try and discern the writings of the Bible that point to the “last days” — those days just before the return of Jesus Christ. We know that there are many different interpretations — let us PLEASE AGREE to respect and share with one another, and not take the opportunity to be offended and become angry. My perspective regarding the day of worship ordained by the God of creation is the fourth commandment written in Exodus 20:8-11 KJV.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
I will note here that THERE IS NO STATEMENT IN THE BIBLE THAT TALKS ABOUT A CHANGE IN GOD’S DAY OF WORSHIP — in fact, if you show me a Bible verse saying that God changed this fourth commandment showing that His sacred day of worship is no longer on Saturday … I will give you ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. The Bible Sabbath is Saturday. Sunday worship is supported by a man that claims to be “God on earth”; we will look more into that at another time. The Sabbath is described in Genesis chapter 2 before the Nation of Israel existed (there were no Jews yet – just Adam & Eve):
Exodus Chapter Two
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Genesis 2:1-3 KJV

UNION OF CHURCH & STATE
There is a belief that in the last days that there will be a UNION OF CHURCH AND STATE just as there was in the past as described by calvarychapel.com :
In many ways, the reign of Constantine over the Roman Empire was one of the most far reaching and influential in western history. One of the most significant aspects of his influence was his perspective of Church and State. When Constantine brought the Church and State together in society, he was simply applying his Roman worldview to the situation, since religion—specifically emperor worship—operated in connection with the government. Therefore it is no surprise that the emperors who followed him continued and even expanded on this policy—and not necessarily for the spiritual good of the Church!
While Constantine did legalize and promote Christianity, paganism was still prolific in the Roman Empire. That all changed when Emperor Theodosius I (347-395 A.D.) made Christianity the official religion of the Empire in 380 A.D. This was the moment in which the Church-State union was truly established.
Essentially, it could be said that the Church and State were “dating” under Constantine and were now “married” under Theodosius.
