How did this change from the seventh-day Sabbath to Sunday come about? Roman Emperor Constantine issued the first Roman law commanding Sunday observance on March 7, A.D. 321. His edict began, "On the venerable day of the Sun, let magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed." (Codex Justinianus, lib. 3, tit. 12, 3 trans. By Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, vol. 3, p. 380, note 1.)
This man-made change of the Sabbath from the seventh day to the first was predicted by the prophet Daniel. The beast power and the subsequent "little horn" of Daniel 7:7,8 representing the combination of church (papal Rome) and state (civil Rome), would "intend" or "think to change times and laws" (Daniel 7:25). As you can see this is exactly what happened! Notice one can only "think" to change God's law. God's law is eternal; it never changes.
