The last sign, it contains a message of hope.

Well Woody I actually don't think that that first sigh is that offensive, but I do get your meaning. I think maybe some 30 or more years ago it would be really a no no, but today more people are really asking about this and you hear people mentioning the antichrist much more today than at other times in history.

I like the third one best, but it really depends on the individual. What doesn't work for one can be very effective for another.

I would like to see one that says:
God loves us and He has invited us all over to His place to have a great time with friends and food.
See you there!

I've seen some signs that are changed every week or 10 days or so...Ones that I like are
You think it's hot here......
[this one came up during a partularly hot spell during the summer]
---------------------------------
If you are looking for a sign from God, perhaps this is it...
[this one is currently up]
---------------------------------------
Faith is the gas that moves the car. Works is the person pushing the car when it runs out of gas...
------------------------------------------
There are others but I can't remember them...Perhaps I will post when I see new signs...

I like the thrid sign. The second tends to smack of "You streaghten yourself up or God is going to get you" and legalistic, and the first makes God look like he's only conserned about a day instead of the message of the day. The ancient world, the Babylonians kept Saturday, but it was a day of fearful rest that bad things will happen if you work that day. The Hebrews kept the same day but saw it as Sabbath, had an entire different spirit. The first sign to me sounds more like the Babylonian Saturday keeping instead of the Hebrew's Sabbath keeping.
For us we have two different days; but there is a major lesson in how people use to keep the same day but in very different ways.
Also, I don't like how the first sign is based on tradition on the change in stead of history. (C. Mervin Maxwell pointed out that Ellen White gave a true view of the change, more accurate than any other Adventist study) but this sign goes for the studies by some of those other adventists; and it also implyes what is part of the 5th head is the entire beast.
