"Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

Selected Sabbath and Sunday Developments in Church History
Revelation 18 condemns a city's corruption, luxury, trade and bloodshed. Applying that warning to a later church requires an argument. A worship day alone does not identify Babylon.
This selection compares different kinds of evidence: biblical scenes, worship accounts, laws and confessions. The numbers count entries on this page, not Christians, congregations or centuries. The final prophetic application is considered separately.
Read the biblical arguments: Genesis 2:1-3, Exodus 20:8-11, Mark 2:23-28 and Colossians 2:8-23.
