One of the definite signs of the 2nd Coming is the removal of the separation of church and state.

Does anybody know where things are at in regards to the removal of the separation of church and state?

Are there any signs that this is happening in the United States, in Canada, and elsewhere?


In His Love, Mercy & Grace,

In scandinavia things are moving in the oposite direction. The lutheran churches which have been tied to the state since the days of Luther are gradually being separated into free churches.


Galatians 2
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

It is so hazardous to take here a little and there a little. If you put the right little's together you can make the bible teach anything you wish. //Graham Maxwell

Opposite things regarding stores being allowed to open on Sundays has also been happening here, but not without a lot of concern coming from the religious arena, therefore, I see a time when the straw is going to come that will break the camel's back and we will see an about face in regards to this and many other things.

In other areas, the state in Canada and parts of the USA have already enacted legislation that negatively affects religious thinking, much to the concern of the religious community.

Well, looks like Trump is pushing for it..
"Americans are used to hearing about the tradition of separating church and state, but the two are increasingly fused in President Donald Trump's administration.

The First Amendment, after all, in addition to guaranteeing free speech, says that Congress shall "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

US leaders talk about Jesus Christ at Kirk's funeral
Never in recent memory have Americans seen more top government officials speak so openly about Jesus Christ as they did at Charlie Kirk's memorial, which Trump described as "an old-time revival" rather than a funeral..

Where does religious belief veer into Christian nationalism?
Christian nationalism is the concept "rejected by many scholars" that the US was formed as a Christian nation and that Christianity should imbue its laws....

Many Trump administration actions have blurred the lines between church and state. "..

"Trump, brushing aside separation of church and state, establishes religious liberty commission
?We?re bringing religion back to our country, and it?s a big deal,? the president said.
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order establishing a presidential commission on religious liberty, openly questioning the separation of church and state in an escalation of the White House?s increasing fervor for Christianity.

?They say separation between church and state ? I said, ?All right, let?s forget about that for one time,?? the president said during a Rose Garden event celebrating National Prayer Day.
The Constitution?s prohibition of a national religion has long been interpreted as a mandatory separation of church and state. Trump is not a regular church-goer but he sees religious conservatives as the base of his political movement.


?They said, really there?s separation. I don?t know. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I?m not sure, but whether there?s separation or not, you guys are in the White House where you should be, and you?re representing our country, and we?re bringing religion back to our country, and it?s a big deal.?https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/01/trump-religious-commission-church-state-00321814

It seems that we are seeing prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes.

Yes, it does! What is sad is that some Seventh-day Adventists seem to believe that we can go along with it just as long as it is not specifically Sunday Laws. The Sabbath/Sunday issue is what will bring the test to the Christian world, (hints that it may come to others in other ways.) We need to look at the principles of liberty of conscience.
