The Sabbath

December 16, 2020 by tamika8741 Leave a Comment

Did you ever stop to think why Christians keep Sunday? Did they get it from the Bible? Is there a transparent-lower command that says, “Thou shalt keep Sunday?” Why did Jesus worship on Saturday? Was it only because He was a superb Jew? Or does it go beyond that?

Does it make any difference which day we observe, as long as we keep someday in seven? What does the Bible actually say? “And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had executed, and He rested on the seventh day….Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all the work He had created and made” (Gen. 2:2- three).

Which day is the Christian Sabbath? Go seize a calendar. See which day is the seventh day and then you definitely’ll know the biblical Sabbath. And bear in mind, GOD GAVE MANKIND the present of the Sabbath from creation. Adam and Eve weren’t Jewish! And yet God expected them to remember the seventh day Sabbath as a memorial of creation.

After we assemble on our God-given Sabbath, we know we’re worshipping the King of Creation. Every other “sabbath” is solely man-made. The Great Creator God only blessed the seventh day with His Presence, and subsequently set it aside as special. We should not settle for any low cost imitations or substitutes, whether it’s the Muslim Friday or traditional Sunday.

Since mankind misplaced or uncared for the truth about God’s Sabbath, the Creator chose to reveal it once more when He was within the process of making Israel into His Servant-Nation. God instructed them, in order that they might train others: “Keep in mind the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all of your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work…. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the ocean, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Due to this fact the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it” (Ex. 20:eight-11).

Discover: God claims the Sabbath as His. He would not consult with it because the “Jewish Sabbath.” Although it turned known as that to differentiate it from the varied pagan days of worship (Ga. four:10). “The Lord’s day” was meant for all mankind to enjoy and appreciate (Matt. 12:8; Isa. fifty six:6). And the early Church, composed of both Jews and Gentiles, did celebrate the proper Sabbath collectively for over THREE HUNDRED YEARS! That’s longer than the U.S. has known independence.

When God restored the Sabbath to Israel, it was the same seventh day Sabbath instituted at Creation. It wasn’t modified to a different day. And its objective remained the identical: to reveal the CREATOR and commemorate His majestic works of art.

Jesus honored His Father by keeping God’s commandments. The fourth commandment is to recollect the Sabbath day. Christ didn’t neglect the significance of attending Sabbath providers (Luke 4:16) – NEVER ON A SUNDAY- and the apostle Paul encourages us to avoid the habit of skipping Church services (Heb. 10:25). After all, it is a commanded meeting (Lev. 23:3) that offers us an opportunity to higher understand the Scriptures (Acts 19:8). Why miss out?

As well as reminding us of God’s awesome ability, the Sabbath is a memorial of Israel’s deliverance from Egypt (Deut. 5:15). It also foreshadows our future redemption from European tyranny and portrays our ongoing deliverance from sin (Isa. 14:3; Ga. 5:1). The plagues God despatched against Egypt recognized Him as the Creator God: the One who might control the forces of nature and intervene in the affairs of nations. When God pours out the seven final plagues on Europe’s Babylonish system, bringing it to its knees, it’ll reveal Him alone because the Most High God and Holy Father (Dan. 2:44; Rev. 14:7).

The Sabbath day, a memorial of creation and Israel’s liberation, reminds us reduction from sin is coming. We’ll lastly be able to rest from temptation and enjoy righteousness (II Pet. three:thirteen). After we’re actually born once more we’ll be free from sin; it’ll be a thing of the previous (I Jn. three:9). This serenity awaits us within the Promised Land of God’s Kingdom (Heb. 4:1- 11). God is reproducing Himself – Christ in us – and will add the “finishing contact” at our resurrection (Rom. eight:21-23). We are God-Beings within the making!

Jesus minimize via all of the red tape of entangling human traditions, and kept the Sabbath day as God supposed (Mark 7:7). Yet it was prophesied that some would tamper with how and after we’re to look at God’s Sabbath day, and forcibly try to switch it with their own (Dan. 7:25; Rev. 17:5).

This Sabbath question is destined to turn into a bloody subject again (Rev. 13:17; 14:thirteen). However for those who really want to know the reality, God’s entrusted the Jews to keep the knowledge of the true Sabbath day (Rom. 9:4). And the Jews do not worship on Sunday! They comply with the biblical observe of celebrating the Sabbath: from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. God even pronounces a blessing on everyone who’s properly keeping the Sabbath just before Christ’s return, despite political pressure to do in any other case (Isa. fifty six:1-2).
