We keep getting questions about
Sabbath keeping.
Here are some additional
comments to supplement our many documents on the subject.
First: The Sabbath is by
definition the seventh day of the week.
It was defined as such at the
time that Adam and Eve were created.
Genesis2:2 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.
It is a twenty four hour period
of time, which has been sanctified.
This means set apart for holy
use.
Today it starts in the evening
before the day light part of the day.
This is the opposite of how
regard time today.
This is clearly defined in Genesis
1, as we are told that every one of the seven days
comprised of the evening and the
morning.
Genesis 1:5 And God
called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
And the evening and the morning
were the first day.
It is my feeling that the
Eternal, who lives outside of space and time,
was excited about the creation
of time. Therefore, He declared what a day was
after every one of the seven
days mentioned in Genesis chapter 1.
Second: It is a specific period of time.
This period of time is not
accessible to man or our adversary, Satan,
who can deceive people by wrong
thinking, that the Sabbath no longer applies.
The reality is that this period
of time, from the time of Adam to today is still ‘blessed’ and sanctified.
Third: We do not have any
option how we spend this time.
This should be spent in a
different manner to how we spend the other days of the week.
Therefore when anyone asks can I
do this that and the other, they need to consider
if their activity is what they
would normally do on the other days of the week.
If activity is the same as on
the other days, then what is the difference between the Sabbath
and the other days?
Fourth If possible we should
meet with other Sabbath observers.
Leviticus 23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh
day is the sabbath of rest,
an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the
LORD in all your dwellings.
Unfortunately, this is becoming
more difficult everyday as most of the churches have already
signed up to the New World Order
One World Religion, regardless of the of their church.
Therefore most genuine Sabbath
keepers have to observe it on their own.
See:Forsaking
the assembling of Ourselves
Fifth: We should worship the
Eternal and let our thoughts focus on Him and His Word.
Genuine seekers after the Truth,
on the Internet are being told by deceived Christians,
that they can do anything at all
that they want on the Sabbath.
This is simply not true.
Sixth: It is true that believers are enjoying the Sabbath Rest
of Christ.
Hebrews 4:3 For we which have
believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they
shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation
of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the
seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter
into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must
enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of
unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in
David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his
voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would
he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the
people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he
also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11
¶ Let us labour therefore to enter into
that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
This should be the normal life
of a genuine believer, however, this does nothing whatsoever
to do away with the weekly or
annual Sabbaths.
Seventh We are clearly told that the Weekly and annual Sabbaths
will be kept in the future.
Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new
moon to another,
and from one sabbath to another,
shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
Zechariah 14:16 ¶ And it shall come
to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against
Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of
hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up
of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem
to
worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and
come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will
smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast
of
tabernacles.
Eighth Sunday, Christmas &
Easter are Catholic institutions.
The evangelical churches would
have you believe, with their twisted and perverted
doctrines and practices of
Sunday worship, Christmas and Easter, which are pagan days,
which the Roman Catholic church
has absorbed and seeks to put on the whole world.
These non-Catholics are ignorant
of the fact that the Roman Catholic church makes
no secret of the fact that
Sunday worship is instituted by them.
Furthermore they directly
challenge all non-Catholics to prove to them from the scriptures
the reason for observing Sunday.
Of course it cannot be done.
They, however, say that the Pope
as Christ’s representative has the power to make the change
to the Sabbath. Therefore they
have an excuse but they would like to know what is the excuse
of the non-Christians.
Revelation 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name
written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Nine All Christians regarded as Catholics
The Roman Catholic church
regards all Christians as under the authority of the Pope.
Not too many Christians are
aware that just the fact that one claims to be Christian means
that the Roman Catholic church states
that you come under their authority.
You can easily find that most
churches are already secretly linked to the Roman Catholic Church.
The fact that the membership is
ignorant of these facts does not alter the situation
in any way.
Ten History will repeat itself.
The stark choice will be observe
Sunday worship, the beast, or die.
Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image
of the beast,
that the
image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many
as would not worship the image of the beast should be
killed.
Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up
for ever and ever:
and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the
beast and his image,
and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Eleven Religious and Political Babylon will ultimately be
destroyed.
Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice,
saying,
Babylon the great is fallen, is
fallen, and is become the habitation of devils,
and the hold of every foul
spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Twelve It is always possible
to do good on the Sabbath, as led by the Eternal.
Christ healed on the Sabbath.
Luke 6:9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you
one thing;
Is it lawful on the sabbath days
to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man,
Stretch forth thy hand. And he
did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
Thirteen The rebellious churches will be punished
Revelation 18:4 And I heard
another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,
my
people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her
plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and
God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and
double unto her double according to her works:
in
the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and
lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her
heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day,
death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for
strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Fourteen Before considering the
lying advice being freely offered,
carefully
consider this document and the related documents.
The only way
out of this dilemma is Jesus Christ.
He is the only way of escape.
He is out Sabbath Rest.
Praise the Lord.
Come
soon Lord Jesus.
Amen.
