How The Sabbath Was Changed

Home Sabbath History How The Sabbath Was Changed

Today I want to answer the question which so many listeners have been concerned about since our first broadcast on the Sabbath question. How did the change take place, substituting Sunday for Saturday as the day of worship? This is possibly one of the most disturbing religious questions among thinking Christians today. Unfortunately, the issue is not examined publicly very often for reasons that we’ll consider today. But multitudes have wondered when, how and why the change came about. We have established in previous broadcasts that the Bible itself speaks with absolute consistency on this subject.

No Change Documented in the Bible

In both Old and New Testament there is not a shadow of variation in the doctrine of the Sabbath. The seventh day, Saturday, is the only day ever designated by the term Sabbath in the entire Bible. Not only was Jesus a perfect example in observing the weekly seventh-day Sabbath, but all His disciples followed the same pattern after Jesus had gone back to heaven. Yet no intimation of any change of the day is made. The apostle Paul, who wrote pages of counsel about lesser issues of Jewish and Gentile conflicts, had not one word to say about any controversy over the day of worship. Circumcision, foods offered to idols, and other Jewish customs were readily challenged by early Gentile Christians in the church, but the weightier matter of weekly worship never was an issue. Why? For the simple reason that no change was made from the historic seventh day of Old Testament times, and from creation itself. Had there been a switch from the Sabbath to the first day of the week, you can be sure the controversy would have been more explosive than any other to those Jewish Christians.

History Gives Some Clues

If the change did not take place in the Scriptures or through the influence of the apostles, when and how did it happen? In order to understand this, we must understand what happened in that early church soon after the apostles passed off the stage of action. Paul had prophesied that apostasy would take place soon after his departure. He said there would be a falling away from the truth. One doesn’t have to read very far in early church history to see just how that prophecy was fulfilled. Gnosticism began to rise up under the influence of philosophers who sought to reconcile Christianity with Paganism. At the same time, a strong anti-Jewish sentiment became more widespread. Very speculative interpretations began to appear regarding some of the great doctrines of Christ and the apostles.

The Conversion of Constantine

By the time Constantine was established as the emperor of Rome in the early fourth century, there was a decided division in the church as a result of all these factors. I think most of you know that Constantine was the first so-called Christian emperor of the Roman Empire. The story of his conversion has become very well known to students of ancient history. He was marching forth to fight the battle of Milvian Bridge when he had some kind of vision, and saw a flaming cross in the sky. Underneath the cross were the Latin words meaning “In this sign conquer.” Constantine took this as an omen that he should be a Christian, and his army as well. He declared all his pagan soldiers to be Christians, and became very zealous to build up the power and prestige of the church. Through his influence great blocks of pagans were taken into the Christian ranks. But, friends, they were still pagan at heart, and they brought in much of the paraphernalia of sun-worship to which they continued to be devoted. We mentioned in a previous broadcast about the adoption of Christmas and Easter into the church. At the same time, many other customs were Christianized and appropriated into the practice of the church as well.

Sun Worship

You see, at that time the cult of Mithraism or sun-worship was the official religion of the Roman Empire. It stood as the greatest competitor to the new Christian religion. It had its own organization, temples, priesthood, robes—everything. It also had an official worship day on which special homage was given to the sun. That day was called “The Venerable Day of the Sun.” It was the first day of the week, and from it we get our name Sunday. When Constantine pressed his pagan hordes into the church they were observing the day of the sun for their adoration of the sun god. It was their special holy day. In order to make it more convenient for them to make the change to the new religion, Constantine accepted their day of worship, Sunday, instead of the Christian Sabbath which had been observed by Jesus and His disciples. Remember that the way had been prepared for this already by the increasing anti-Jewish feelings against those who were accused of putting Jesus to death. Those feelings would naturally condition many Christians to swing away from something which was held religiously by the Jews. It is therefore easier to understand how the change was imposed on Christianity through a strong civil law issued by Constantine as the Emperor of Rome. The very wording of that law, by the way, can be found in any reliable encyclopedia. Those early Christians, feeling that the Jews should not be followed any more than necessary, were ready to swing away from the Sabbath which was kept by the Jews.

Historical Accounts

Some of you may be greatly surprised by the explanation I’ve just made, and I’m not going to ask you to believe it blindly. I have before me a multitude of authorities to verify what has been said. Here are historians, Catholics and Protestants, speaking in harmony about what actually took place in the fourth century. After Constantine made the initial pronouncement and legal decree about the change, the Catholic Church reinforced that act in one church council after another. For this reason, many, many official statements from Catholic sources are made, claiming that the church made the change from Saturday to Sunday. But before I read those statements I shall refer to one from the Encyclopedia Britannica under the article, Sunday. Notice: “It was Constantine who first made a law for the proper observance of Sunday and who appointed that it should be regularly celebrated throughout the Roman empire.” Now you can check these statements in your own encyclopedias or go to the library and look into other historical sources.

Here is a statement from Dr. Gilbert Murray, M.A., D.Litt., LLD, FBA, Professor of Greek at Oxford University, who certainly had no ax to grind concerning Christian thought on the Sabbath question. He wrote: “Now since Mithras was the sun, the Unconquered, and the sun was the Royal Star, the religion looked for a king whom it could serve as a representative of Mithras upon earth. The Roman Emperor seemed to be clearly indicated as the true king. In sharp contrast to Christianity, Mithraism recognized Caesar as the bearer of divine grace. It had so much acceptance that it was able to impose on the Christian world its own sun-day in place of the Sabbath; its sun’s birthday, the 25th of December, as the birthday of Jesus.” History of Christianity in the Light of Modern Knowledge.

Looking a bit further into historical statements, Dr. William Frederick says: “The Gentiles were an idolatrous people who worshipped the sun, and Sunday was their most sacred day. Now in order to reach the people in this new field, it seems but natural as well as necessary to make Sunday the rest day of the church. At this time it was necessary for the church to either adopt the Gentile’s day or else have the Gentiles change their day. To change the Gentiles day would have been an offense and stumbling block to them. The church could naturally reach them better by keeping their day.” There it is, friends, a clear explanation by Dr. Frederick as to how this change happened. Another statement very parallel to this one is found in the North British Review.

But let’s move on to a statement from the Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. 4, p. 153. “The church after changing the day of rest from the Jewish Sabbath or seventh-day of the week to the first, made the third commandment refer to Sunday as the day to be kept holy as the Lord’s day.”

Catholicism Takes Credit for the Change

Now a quote from the Catholic Press newspaper in Sidney, Australia. “Sunday is a Catholic institution and its claims to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles. From the beginning to end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first.”

The Catholic Mirror of September 23, 1894, puts it this way: “The Catholic Church for over one thousand years before the existence of a Protestant by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday.”

To point up the claims we’re talking about, I want to read from two Catechisms. First, from the Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine by Reverend Peter Giermann. “Question: Which is the Sabbath day? Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath day. Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church in the Council of Laodicea transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.”

Second, from Reverend Steven Keenan’s Doctrinal Catechism we read this: “Question: Have you any other way of proving that the Church has power to institute festivals of precept? Answer: Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her; she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day; a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.”

Then from Cardinal Gibbons’ book, The Question Box, p.179, “If the Bible is the only guide for the Christian, then the Seventh-day Adventist is right in observing Saturday with the Jew. Is it not strange that those who make the Bible their only teacher should inconsistently follow in this matter the tradition of the Catholic Church?”

One more statement taken from the book, The Faith of Millions, p. 473. “But since Saturday, not Sunday, is specified in the Bible, isn’t it curious that non-Catholics who profess to take their religion directly from the Bible and not from the Church, observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Yes, of course, it is inconsistency but this change was made about fifteen centuries before Protestantism was born, and by that time the custom was universally observed. They have continued the custom even though it rests upon the authority of the Catholic Church and not upon an explicit text from the Bible. That observance remains as a reminder of the Mother Church from which the non-Catholic sects broke away like a boy running away from home but still carrying in his pocket a picture of his mother or a lock of her hair.”

That is a most interesting statement, is it not, friends? And it is a very true statement. There is some inconsistency somewhere along the line, because we have examined the statements of history, and you can check them for yourself in any library. I’m not reading anything one-sided here at all. I’ve tried to give you an unbiased picture. Although we have seen the claims made by the Catholic Church in their publications, we are not reading them to cast any reflection upon anyone, by any means. We are simply bringing you a recital of what has been written and what claims have been made.

I am a member of the Church of Christ and have been conflicted by the worship of Sunday.
I am recently rejoined the Church and was rebaptized.
I'm worried that I'm not observing the sabbath day to keep it holy.
I've known about this information for years and appreciate your work.

You did well in your research and finding how Sunday worshipers got their day of worship. And I would like if you do the same on how the Jews got their Saturday as their own worship day because Saturday Sabbath is based on Gregorian calendar just as Sunday.T he true calendar of worship is based on Gen.1:14-16, Psalm 104:19,Ezekiel 46:1-3. Sabbath is and always on the 8th ,15th, 22nd, and 29th of every scriptural month.

WADE.
It's been predicted in the Bible that the calendar would be changed and that prophecy was fulfilled by the evil clowns in the Vatican by changing the calendar from a 13 mth calendar where there's exactly 28 days in each month and that the sabbatical mth was removed for Rome's economic Demon of slavery. The Pope is a demon worshipper.

Jesus was crucified on Friday, which is referred to as the "Preparation Day" for the Sabbath (Luke 23:54). He died around the ninth hour (approximately 3 PM) and was placed in the tomb before sunset that same day.

He rested in the tomb over the Sabbath (Saturday), fulfilling the commandment to rest even in death.

Early on Sunday morning, the first day of the week, Jesus rose from the grave. This is confirmed in Mark 16:9, which states, "Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene."

This article states that the Catholic Church changed worship from the Sabbath to Sunday. From the scriptures, I believe Sunday worship began in the first century. Acts 20:7 states that “upon the first day of the week, when the the disciples came together to break bread”. This appears to be a gathering to practice the communion or the breaking of the bread. Jesus had commanded his apostles to remember him by breaking the bread which represented his body, plus by drinking from the cup with the fruit of the vine. This was the communion, which 1st century Christian’s practiced during their worship on the first day of the week. Acts 20:7

This is not a Bible verse or statement to change the worship from Saturday to Sunday. But it is an example of when the first century Christians met to worship God. It was 2-3 centuries before the Catholic Church was established.

After all, Jesus did arise on the first day of the week and that could be reason enough to make it the Lords day.

The old law was replaced by the death of Jesus. That did away with the circomcision of the old law. It also ended the animal sacrifices of the old law. Why wouldn’t it do away with the sabbath of the old law?

A consideration of the whole narrative of Acts 20:7 provides no support for the view that Paul held this meeting specifically because it was the first day of the week. He had been at Troas seven days; certainly he must have met with the believers there already more than once. Now he was to depart, and it was most logical that he would hold a final farewell meeting, and celebrate the Lord's Supper with them. I believe you'll find our book on all the New Testament texts about the first day helpful:
https://www.amazingfacts.org/media-library/book/e/37/t/is-sunday-really-sacred-

According to Colossians 2:14-17 a certain law of ordinances was nailed to the cross. This was the ceremonial law of types and shadows that pointed forward to the death of Jesus and that had no further meaning beyond the cross. This is why Paul said it was "contrary" to the Christian. The torn veil in the temple at the death of Christ (Matthew 27:51) indicated the end of the ordinance of animal sacrifices, and Ephesians 2:15 says that Jesus "abolished the law of commandments contained in ordinances."

Take note that Colossians 2:16, 17 refers to the yearly sabbaths and not the weekly Sabbath of the moral law. These shadowy sabbaths are described in Leviticus 23:24-37. They fell on certain set days of the month--a different day of the week each year, yet they were called sabbaths. But please observe in verses 37 and 38 how they were distinguished from the weekly Sabbath: "These are the feasts of the Lord which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, every thing upon his day, beside the sabbaths of the Lord." The law of the yearly sabbaths, with all its meat and drink offerings, was nailed to the cross, but the great Ten Commandment law with its weekly Sabbath was not affected by that "blotting out" of ordinances.

There were four basic laws found in the Old Testament. They are the laws of health, the civil laws of nations, the ceremonial laws (animal sacrifices) and the moral laws (the Ten Commandments). The laws of health will always remain firm for we all need good health. The civil laws of nations have changed throughout the centuries, but they contain principles that can be helpful to us today. The ceremonial laws and their accompanying feast days were replaced at the time of the cross with New Testament ceremonies instituted. This was the significance of the veil tearing (Matt. 27:51), and the ordinances being nailed to the cross. (Col. 2:14). That leaves the Ten Commandment moral law that has been the character criterion for all intelligent beings both angelic and human for all time.

Thank you. But this is my question on the moral law, the 10 commandment. First of all, we know all the laws in the 10 commandment except the 4th law of Sabbath is clearly and categorically written in the law of Christ. But the above suggest to me that the 10 commandment is still binding. In Rom 7:1-3, Paul introduces a discussion saying that NO one can bind himself/herself into 2 marriages and thus no worshipper of God now can say he is following 2 laws. Vs 4 start by saying "..we died to the LAW through the body of Christ THAT YOU MAY BELONG TO ANOTHER.". So one law has to go for us to be bound to another (premise from first 3 verses of allegory in marriage). So we ask, which law is Paul talking about here? Paul gives us 2 descriptions of such law-the first is, in same Rom 7 vs 6, he says "... we have been RELEASED from the law, so that we serve in the NEW WAY of the Spirit, and NOT in the OLD WAY of the WRITTEN CODE". How will the statement "written code" be referred to only other laws and not 10 commandment inclusive. Second, in Rom 7:7, it says the law said "..."you shall not covet" ". This is a direct quote of the decalogue or the 10 commandment. Kindly help me understand this very passage. Thank you

Paul contrasts the "old way of the written code" with the "new way of the Spirit." The "written code" refers to the law as it was written and understood in a legalistic sense—apart from the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. This includes the Ten Commandments, as Paul explicitly references one of them in verse 7 ("Thou shalt not covet"). However, it is crucial to understand that Paul is not saying the moral law (the Ten Commandments) is abolished. Instead, he is addressing the believer’s relationship to the law in the context of justification and sanctification.

The law, in its written form, could only condemn and point out sin. It could not save or transform. This is why Paul emphasizes the "new way of the Spirit," where the law is written on the heart (Jeremiah 31:33) and fulfilled through a relationship with Christ.

Paul’s discussion in Romans 7 is not about abolishing the Ten Commandments but about the believer’s relationship to the law in light of Christ’s sacrifice. The law reveals sin and points us to our need for a Savior, but it cannot save or sanctify. Through Christ, we are freed from the law’s condemnation and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live in obedience to God’s will. This is the "new way of the Spirit" that Paul describes—a life of love and faithfulness to God, not out of obligation but out of a transformed heart.

I slightly disagree with your first paragraph. You got the understanding that because Paul will go away, its natural for that last farewell. Why don't we look at the verse. Acts 20:7 "And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight."

The statement- "...when the disciples came together to break bread.." seems to everyone as that of a PURPOSE. This phrase can be hardly misconstrued as not a purposeful meeting.
You made an assumption that Paul could probably had had several meeting with the people there. Eventhough the bible didn't give any iota of such assumption, lets assume your assumption is true. But does this negate of a purposeful meeting on a particular day, No. Example, with your church, don't you have some meetings which is different from other meetings? When the disciples were breaking bread everyday from house to house, does it mean they were not meeting for Lord's supper?
You placed the idea of farewell to the whole meeting on that day but the verse disagrees. Paul's farewell speech made it continue to the midnight and not the actual preaching. Kindly check how the translation did it, "Paul preached unto them" and then we read, ", ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight'." other versions put it this way (NIV) " On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight."
NLT "On the first day of the week, we gathered with the local believers to share in the Lord’s Supper.[a] Paul was preaching to them, and since he was leaving the next day, he kept talking until midnight."
Check other translations too...
I think its safer to say, there was purpose for the meeting but not of the day.(which will be argumentative too)

Jesus Himself began a new covenant from that of the Old Testament. Since He is the Head of the New Covenant, upon His raising from the dead on the 1st day of the week, I believe is when He finally rested. From His mission on earth to reconciling with The Father and Holy Ghost as One God in heaven. So God rested on the 7th day from the creation and started the Old Testament. Jesus rested on the 1st day and started His new Covenant.
Never thought of this before. But something inside me wanted to share this with you.
Gods peace and love be with you all.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable
for doctrine,
for reproof,
for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:
that the man of God may be throughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16, 17

When Paul wrote this letter to Timothy, the ONLY scripture they had was the Old Testament.

God said, "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." Malachi 3:6;

Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Matthew 4:4;

The Ten Commandments, "...proceeded out of the mouth of God", which includes the 4th., and which God Himself started with the word, "Remember". Jesus told His disciples at the last supper what they (and we) are to "...do in remembrance..." of Him, and He didn't change the weekly Sabbath day from the Seventh to the First.

How could I ever trust someone Who said He is God, and that He "changes not", but is "...the same yesterday, today, and forever"? Not to mention that Jesus Himself is my example. He kept the Seventh-day Sabbath, which He blessed and sanctified at the end of His creation week, so why would I or anyone ever presume to agree with something He did not say or do? Also, Moses said, "Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps covenant and mercy with them that love Him, and keep His Commandments to a thousand generations." Deut. 7:9

NOTE: A thousand generations have not passed since Moses spoke and wrote these words.

Also: If God's Ten Commandments; as spoken by God Himself, and written in stone by His own finger and put in the ark under the mercy seat, and which included the 4th., were nailed to the cross, then there hasn't been a sinner since the cross, and if that's true, then Jesus didn't die for you or me. Paul said, "Where there is no law, there is no transgression, for sin is transgression of the law."

Lanto

Ny name is Lanto,

I think this Sunday linked to the Emperor Constantine is a coincidence. We need a a deep academic research for that.

But Biblically and Historically proven:

First Christians in the 1st century worshipped God on both Sunday (1st day of the week or 8th day of the week) Saturday (Sabbath, the 7th day of the week).
Sunday: because it is the day when Jesus Christ raised from the dead. Refer to Mat 28, 1- 10; Mar 16, 9; Luke 24, 1- 15. It was the day Jesus Christ met always his disciples before leaving the earth. Refer to John 20. And to remember Jesus Christ, see Act 20, 7 to comply with the Lord Jesus Command in Luke 22, 19.

Saturday: because most of the first Christians were Jews. Sabbath is ONLY for Jews as written by Moses. Not for other nations. See almost of all the chapters of the book of Acts.

WHEN DID THE FIRST CHRISTIANS STOP TO WORSHIP ON SATURDAY?

The first Christians were kicked out from the Jewish synagogue during the Synode of Jamnia (or Jabne) in 90 CE (or 90 AD). The prediction of Jesus Christ in John 16, 2- 4 was fulfilled at that time.

The First Christians started to worship on Sunday only since then.

More over, Jesus Christ says "He is the Lord of Sabbath" (Mat 12, 8; Mark 2, 28; Luke 6, 5). And He can give Sabbath to whoever comes to Him and repent from their sins (Mat 11, 28).

Sabbath = Rest.

Real Christian's life is to OBEY Jesus Christ not to obey Moses or the prophets because God asks all the people to listen (= obey) his Son Jesus Christ during his transfiguration on the mountain (Luke 9, 35; Mat 17, 5; Mark 9, 7) not Moses not Elijah. Because He is Greater than the Law (Moses) and the prophets (Elijah). See Matthew 12, 41- 42; Luke 11, 31- 32.

In the Old Testament the Israelites left Egypt on the 15th of Nisan. They camped that night (the 16th) at Succoth, which is where the firstborn were consecrated to God. In the Old Testament the count to Pentecost is called the Feast of Weeks and always started on the 16th of Nisan. This is the way the Israelites still count the weeks to Pentecost to this day.
In the New Testament Mary DID NOT come to the tomb on the first day of the week (Sunday). She came to the tomb on the first day of the weeks (plural) to Pentecost. She came to the tomb on the 16th of Nisan.
You can find this in the online Diaglott (Greek Translation) at Luke 24:1 where it says, (on the left side) And on the first of the weeks (plural)...they came to the tomb. Better translated, They came to the tomb on day one of the weeks to Pentecost.
Christ did not rise from the grave on a Sunday. He rose on the 16th of Nisan. All the religious power had to do was take the "s" off of weeks to elevate the Sun God, Sol Invictus.

This is incorrect. To begin with, the pagans never had a weekly holy day on Sunday or any other day. They did not worship the sun on Sunday any more than they worshipped Saturn on Saturday. This error has been repeated so many times that one can readily find numerous sources that repeat it. But it has no foundation. The days of the week were named after the seven visible "planets" by the Egyptians for astrological purposes, not for religious ones. Next, the Sabbath was not changed at the Council of Laodicea. Christians were already keeping Sunday for at least 200 years before that council. Also, that council was a minor assembly of eastern bishops; the bishop of Rome did not even attend it. Also, while the Catholic church likes to claim responsibility for changing the Sabbath, a casual investigation of Catholic teaching about Sunday discloses that the Catholic Church traces its beginning to the apostle Peter and also claims that the change to Sunday observance took place in the apostolic age. Prominent SDA scholars have acknowledged, based on the writings of the early church fathers, that Sunday worship was universal by the middle of the second century. Thus, Samuele Bacchiocci argues (without evidence) that Pope Sixtus must have made the change sometime in the early second century. But as we know from the Quartodeciman controversy that raged for hundreds of years after that, the bishop of Rome did not have the power to tell the churches in the East what to do. They never have accepted the authority of the pope of Rome. Yet all the eastern churches keep Sunday. Why? Because they always had and believed, like the western Catholic church, that this custom was established in the time of the apostles. Is there any warrant for this belief? Yes, there is. The resurrection was on Sunday. The Holy Spirit was given on Sunday. Paul held a worship service on Sunday. Paul told those at Corinth and Galatia to collect alms on Sunday. John received his vision on the Lord's Day.

Later, watch, pray and read, ‘The Word’

I’m just a simple person with a Methodist background, reciting the Church doctrinal decree on Sunday worship AM, which says, ‘we believe in The Holy Roman Church, , communion of the saints and forgiveness of sins, etc. I left this apostate religion when the last straw that broke my faith was the acceptance of continuance of an ordained minister in Iowa that step out of the closet as a proclaimed “Gay minister”. This opened my eyes to just how the blind are leading the blind to the Traditions of man, not truth to the teachings in my Bible. The apostate church will do anything to build membership and keep their power of a prosperous church growing in modernism to appease their constituents. The combination of church and state are quickly gravitating together as natural phenomena so we become numb to what happening. Pasting of Supreme Court with 6 out 9, a practicing Catholics from Justus Schools, now a president elect and VP of the same persuasion ready to ‘Save America’ by getting America ready to empower the trending and blending of society to enforcement of church and state to ushering in compliance by all or else your the problem that they are willing to deal with under the mandatory law. Sign out, ‘later’ watch the fulfillment as it’s now happening

It is only right to observe both Sat & Sun!

As a Jewish Christian, Saturday is The Holy Day of complete rest.

However, I also celebrate Church on Sunday because GOD inhabits the sincere praise of His people any day or hour!

This is good for all Christians!

You sound very confident with your claims, which I find hopeful. Please help me understand how you're so sure the Sabbath is on Saturday when there's no Biblical evidence it ever was on that day, as it is a day that didn't even exist in Biblical times, certainly not before the Roman Calendar, when it was they created Saturn's-Day. The evidence I see in Scripture says it can't be on Saturday. Would you like an example?

Well, I don't believe the Heavenly Father would ever ask His people to sin, let alone order it, what about you? Do you think that's even possible? So then can you explain to me how they were commanded to travel to Jericho, for seven consecutive days, to march offensively on it?

Thank you for your insight, David

Thank you for responding to my input, but it wasn't so much a question for the author as a challenge to the claim made: Sabbath is on Saturday.

I request proof of claim because I'm aware of the manipulation and recognize it can't be on Saturn's-Day without conflicting with facts, which for me come from the Bible. Everything else is suspect. I've examined this subject for a long time so can go on all day with it, but all day wouldn't even cover it, and am too week to try now (fasting), maybe see Fullmessianicmessage if interested in getting some clarity.

I can offer you this insight that popped into my head when I was reading the other comments, although it's an eighteen hundred years old quote, it's time pertinent, connected to the new calendar being implemented across the realm...

Tertullian:
In the same way, if we devote Sun-day to rejoicing, from a far different reason than Sun-worship, we have some resemblance to those of you who devote the day of Saturn to ease and luxury, though they too go far away from Jewish ways, of which indeed they are ignorant.

These Jewish ways he's talking about aren't the Roman ways they are the Hebrew ways. It doesn't take much study to realize Saturn's-Day wasn't around in the days of David, or do you really think Moses carried a calendar around with him, or did Adam say Hey Eve when's the next Sabbath, can you check the calendar on the fridge? Not likely.

The manipulation is acceptable because I'm aware of how much propaganda has been laid out for us over the centuries. I study a lot, it's actually ridiculous how much, and more importantly I'm blessed with eyes that see, so let me just say we've been deceived, try not to get too attached to any of the days coming off of a Roman calendar. If you can just slow down when reading your Bible you'll see it, the Sabbath answer really is there.

Best, bubbledudedavid

Plainly, all references to Saturn day and Sun day are from the Gregorian calendar, which did not even exist in Christ time. That calendar was not written for another 300 years. If you look at other languages, in Spanish Saturday translates as Sabbath Day or day of Sabbath. So your stumbling block may be the English translation of these words? In any case, the scripture is very clear from Genesis still Leviticus regarding the Sabbath being the seventh day, which is what the Hebrew word for Saturday means. There is absolutely no scripture old or new testament to support a Sunday Sabbath. And all research one can do plainly states that the Sabbath was observed on Saturdays until just over 300 years after Christ when the Gregorian calendar was created by priest supported by the recently converted Constantine. Those priests were also heavily supported by Constantine, so they testified in the various Council meetings and eventually got the worship changed from the original Saturday to Sundays which just happened to coincide with the sun worship in Rome at that time. Constantine knew that it would be easier to convert his people to Christianity if they shifted a few things to make the pagan practices fit better under the new Banner of Christianity.

I recently read a book which I would like to here recommend.

It is "Why I Go to Church on Sunday" (3rd edition) by David Merling, Sr.

It addresses many of the reasons people use to justify Sunday worship, and contrasts these reasons with "Thus saith the Lord" references from the Holy Bible.

I highly recommend this book to all who are questioning their reasons for Sunday observance.

The LORD Said it a perpetual sign between Him and us. Forever! When are we Christian’s going to wake up! And leave the Laodicean Sunday Church, and start worshipping on
“The Sabbath of God! The Seventh Day. Saturday! Jesus left us a perfect example. Let us do what we say we are doing, and follow Him! Praise
The LORD. He is so merciful to us, to our ignorance, but now
we know “The Truth!” Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto to the Father, but by me.

Who first observed the sabbath day? Was is not the Jews? Wasn’t the sabbath given by commandment to the Jews by God under the Abrahamic covenant? Doesn’t Jesus Christ represent the new Covenant? Is Jesus Christ not GOD also! Wasn’t the First day for the Sabbath a reflection upon the fact that Jesus was raised up on the first day thus the change of the Sabbath day reflecting the new covenant that allowed not only Jews to be accepted by GOD?.Thus the saying by Jesus Christ, “one is a Jew who is not one outwardly but inwardly” which describes a condition of the heart versus the physical attribute of a Hebrew?

Genesis 2:1-3 KJV
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 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.

Exodus 20:8-11
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

As can be seen from the above Scriptural passages, observance of the Seventh-Day Sabbath was instituted at the dawn of creation as its crowning act by God Himself – on its 7th day (Genesis 2:1-3).

This fact is referenced in the 4th commandment of the Decalogue (Exodus 20:8-11), when observance of the Sabbath was mandated by God on equal par with all other commandments.

The observance of the Sabbath Day was instituted by God Himself in the Garden of Eden, prior to Abraham and prior to the Children of Israel, etc.

God is not a “flim-flam man.” He does not change as man does, with a whim.

The observance of the Sabbath was never changed by God, only by men who take it upon themselves to supplant God’s authority, and the Sabbath’s rightful observance.

May the Holy Spirit lead all hearts to this truth, so that mankind can rightly obey God’s commandments as Jesus told us we would if we loved Him (John 14:15).

Part 3
Do we print the Ten Commandments and throw a dart to help us decide which commandment to “randomly” disregard this week? If so, which commandment should we first disregard? The 6th: Thou shalt not murder? Perhaps the 7th or 8th: Thou shalt not commit adultery, or Thou shalt not steal. Or maybe we should just disregard the 1st, and be done with it: Thou shalt have no other gods before me, which, if we set ourselves above God by disregarding the 4th commandment to keep the 7th-day Sabbath, it seems like we are already disobeying, doesn’t it?

Revelation 14:12 says: Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
John 14:15 says: If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

Just as we stay true to our spouse, and in doing so, keep our wedding vows, so if we love God and Jesus whom He sent, we will keep God’s commandments – all of them! If we love God, keeping His commandments will not be burdensome to us, just as keeping our marriage vows is not burdensome, but is an expression of our love for our spouse.

We can neither earn our spouse’s love, nor God’s love by keeping our marriage vows or His Ten Commandments respectively, for both our spouse’s love and God’s love are free gifts!

It is interesting to note however, that if we do not keep our marriage vows, our relationship with our spouse could not continue, for trust between us would be broken.

It is interesting to think of this in the context of our relationship to God, and keeping His Commandments…

I admit that it may be difficult in the extreme for those who grew up keeping Sunday to change their observance to the Saturday Sabbath. However, God’s Spirit will act on our hearts to incline us to Him, helping us follow Jesus’ example by keeping His commandments…

Part 2
Regarding the Seventh-day Sabbath, nowhere in either the Old or New Testament, does the Holy Bible indicate that Saturday/Sabbath observance was changed to Sunday observance. I believe the article above clearly illustrates (in summary) the progression of Sabbath to Sunday keeping. Well done!

It always amazes me when men presume to set themselves above God Almighty – their Creator and Redeemer who loves them above all else – as was evidenced by Jesus’ sacrifice on calvary, and His subsequent resurrection to save mankind.

Exodus 20:8-11 addresses this issue explicitly in the 4th commandment of the Decalogue, delivered from Mt. Sinai as spoken by God Himself:
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it, thou shalt not do any work; thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter; thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor any stranger that is within thy gate. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the seas, and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day. Wherefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Do we presume to set ourselves above God Almighty, who specified unambiguously the day which should be kept as a memorial of creation and as a day set apart for communion between Himself and mankind, which will be observed throughout eternity?

Isaiah 66:22,23 says:
For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before me, says the Lord; so shall your descendants and your name remain. From new moon to new moon, and from sabbath to sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me, says the Lord.

If we take it upon ourselves to disregard one commandment in the Ten Commandment decalogue, how do we decide which commandment to disregard during any given week?

In the comments section, someone referenced Galatians 5:13, which in verses 1-12, specifically address the controversy over circumcision in the churches of Galatia – emphasizing that our salvation comes from faith in Jesus Christ, not in adherence to the (ceremonial) law.

How do we know that these verses refer to the ceremonial law? Because nowhere in the Decalogue is circumcision mentioned.

The ceremonial law, mosaic law, or Law of Moses was done away with when Christ died on Calvary, as the Lamb of God had been slain for the salvation of mankind. This was signified by the temple curtain being torn in two from top to bottom (Matthew 27:51). Of course, our salvation comes not from obedience to any law – including the Decalogue, but by our acceptance of Jesus’ sacrifice on calvary in our stead.

In reference to Acts 20:7-12, it must be remembered that the Jewish accounting of days is from sundown to sundown, whereas the Gregorian accounting of days is from midnight to midnight. Thus, Sabbath is from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. So, if Paul broke bread anytime after sundown on Saturday, this would have been considered Sunday, or the first day of the week. When he broke bread on the first day of the week, spoke until midnight, resurrected the young man who fell from the 3rd story window and died, and conversed with the believers until daylight and then departed, chances are, this all occurred on what would have been considered Sunday from a Jewish perspective. However, even if this were not the case, the description of this event creates no precedent nullifying the Ten Commandments, which Christ said that He did not come to change or abolish, but to fulfill (Mathew 5:17-20).

You rightly state that the Jewish accounting of days is from sundown to sundown, but that is not the correct way of determinating when a day begins. According to the Bible a day begins at sunrise, not sundown, therefore the Sabbeth begins at sunrise. Just as the Sabbath rule was set at Creation Week, so was the meaning of day and night. Yahuah (His actual name) describes how He worked during the day, then evening came and then the morning (which ends the night-time part of the day and a new day begins). After saying
"and that was the first day", or second day, etc He would go on to describe what He did during the daytime hours and then the evening came and then morning and that counted as for a day.

Genesis 1:5, "And Yahuah called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." Genesis 1:5 , "And Yahuah called the light, Day, And He called the darkness, Night. And there was evening, and there was morning the first day."

This Scripture indicates that a day ends and a day begins at sunrise. The events of each day are given to us chronologically. First, the creation activity is described to us. Second, we are told that evening has arrived. The word evening is a time marker. It tells us that sundown has now occurred. Third, we are told that morning has arrived. Morning is a time marker as well. It tells us that sunrise has occurred. Fourth, we are told that the first day has been completed because sunrise has occurred. This chronological pattern is given for the first six days of creation throughout Genesis chapter one.

There are many indications in the Bible that a day begins in the morning at sunrise. Another example is the account of the Israelites gathering the manna. It talks about how "tomorrow" (the next day) is after the night time part of a day and the morning has come.

Exodus 16:23 "And he said unto them, This is that which (Yahowah) hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy Sabbath....

There is an old song, "You go to your Church and I'll go to Mine but let's walk along together"! Tradition takes hold and is difficult if not impossible to correct. Folks say, "why I've always went to Church on Sunday, so did my parents and grandparents! You mean to say we all wrong"? Other folks say, "well, the Lord accepts our Worship no matter what the day of the week is" and that's a strong argument. I suppose in the end Our Lord will sort it all out and get us straight.

There's a deep love story the church doesn't share, the greatest love story ever told, and it is about us. But that's the ending, we'll look at the beginning. I believe we are the lost sheep of Israel, exiled for cheating, we are lost in the nations, waiting for our Shepherd. This exile has punishment, the curses are identified and it's ugly. One of them says we aren't supposed to know when the Sabbath times are. Surprised? So maybe everything is exactly how it's supposed to be?

vpreach

To impose Sabbath keeping as a Saturday only observance is to miss the whole point of the Sabbath. It was not to establish a set day of the week, but to establish a day of rest. it was simply a command that we should observe a cycle of six days of work and then rest for one day. So obviously, the intent of the Sabbath command is kept when we rest on Saturday, on Sunday or Monday, or any other day of the week; whenever the people of God choose to gather together in corporate worship. It really doesn’t matter.

Sunday worship was practiced by the New Testament church. As an example, in Acts we read about an evening meeting of the church on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7). And Paul instructed the Corinthians to take up a collection on the first day of the week (1 Cor. 16:2). When John says in Revelation that he was “in the Spirit on the Lord’s day” (Rev. 1:10), he appears to be referring to a day of the week set aside for the Lord, and not the traditional, Jewish Sabbath day. In fact, in none of these passages is Sunday worship commanded. Christians are no more required to make Sunday their day of rest than they are to make Saturday their day of rest. However, of course, they are perfectly free to do so. In fact, to criticize Sunday observance and then to separate from the rest of the church over it is both legalistic and divisive. That is contrary to Paul’s instruction to the Christians in Galatia in Galatians 5:13—

For you were called to freedom, brethren, only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love, serve one another.

Jesus said he would be in the ground 3 days and 3 nights. Friday to Sunday is not 3 days and 3 nights. It took place during Passover which was a high holy day. It is my belief that he was therefore buried on Wednesday before nightfall and rose on Saturday.

Correct, Michalec. That particular Wednesday was an annual Sabbath. Jesus rose on the following Saturday evening. This confirms that he spent three days and three nights in the body of the earth, as recorded in Matthew 12:40, when he told enquiring Pharisees: 'As the prophet Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three night in the body of the earth.' I don't know how the Roman Catholic Church -- into which I was born -- could have got this so wrong. As you say, Friday to Sunday is not three days and three nights. In like manner, the Catholic church also changed the true Sabbath day, Saturday, to Sunday.

It's my understanding that the Jews counted any part of any day as a day, when they spoke of time. God said during creation week at the end of each day, "...the evening and the morning were the___ day". Hence:

Day 1: the 6th. day of the week/what we call Friday;
Jesus died before sunset at the 9th. hour during the last part/daylight hours of the day; His body was placed in the tomb; (hence the women stopped preparing their spices for his body ("proSabbaton"/day before the weekly Sabbath/"Sabbaton", which we call Saturday) to...

Day 2: keep the weekly Seventh-day Sabbath/ "Sabbaton" "...according to the commandment..." which started at sunset at the end of the 6th. day/the dark or first part of the day; Jesus rested in the tomb both evening and morning of the Seventh-day/Sabbaton/Sabbath. Then...

Day 3: which started at sunset at the end of the Seventh-day/Sabbaton/Sabbath, very early in the morning, which the Bible says was the "...first day of the week" because it had started at sunset, the women came to the tomb and it was empty, and the angel told them ' "He is not here for He is risen". Then Mary had her encounter with Jesus.

Note: "Shabbath" in Hebrew, and "Sabbaton" in the Greek both mean the same thing. In fact, a concordance will tell us that "Sabbaton" is a greek word taken from the Hebrew word "Shabbath".

No matter how anyone tries to justify it, God/Jesus did not change His Sabbath day from the Seventh-day to the first day of the week. If He did, then He is a liar, for He said, "Man (not Jews) shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Matthew 4:4. Exodus 20:1 says, "And God SPAKE these words saying,...", then the "words" of His Ten Commandments "proceed"ed out of His mouth. God said through His prophet, David, "My covenant will I not break, nor ALTER the thing that is gone OUT OF MY LIPS." Psalm 89:34
GOD started the 4th. of HIS 10 Commandments with the word, "Remember"...

The Catholic Church never got it "wrong" as much as the went with the money and power. At the time, there was a great deal of anti-semitism, and when Constantine converted he put a great deal of money and support behind people that he could use for his ends. Constantine believed it would be easier to convert his people if he made certain concessions. So, he passed a law that all Worship in Rome would be on Sundays, the same day it had always been for their most popular religion, in worship of their Sun God. We still spell it Sunday, not Sonday.😉 Then he chose priests that would support his plans, paid them a bunch of money, made them very powerful, gave them much favor, and a couple of years after that Sunday law passed, they testified in the famous council meetings why worship should be moved to Sunday using the same scant scriptures the Catholic Church uses to this day, regarding having no person dictating how you keep the Sabbath etc. They also wrote a new calendar, the precursor to the Gregorian calendar that we used to this day. By changing their calendar and holy days, they no longer needed to rely on the Hebrew rabbis to keep holy days correctly, as their calendar was difficult but certain rabbis had always been dedicated to watching the moon phases to keep everyone on track. The new calendar also dictated new holy days, Passover's meaning switching to Easter and suddenly a new birth date which had until then never been known for Jesus. That new birthday just happened to be the original birth date for the Roman Sun God of December 25. This was all a matter of power and money. It did set up the beginnings of the Catholic Church, what became the Pope and all the power they wielded for centuries by having the Pope be intertwined in National powers.l in a way that had never been before. A power they worked hard to maintain.

Saturday and Sunday on the Gregorian calendar are both false sabbaths. When you study the change from the Creator’s calendar to the calendar we currently are using, then that becomes quite clear.

Genesis 1:14
And Yahuah said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven
to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.
For me, this tells me our Creator created the days, months, years, and seasons. So this is His time we are to keep. Which points me to Isaiah 66:22 and 23:
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith Yahuah your Elohim, so shall your seed and your name remain.
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 Yahuah.

Psalms 89:37 - It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah

Which then took me to Daniel 7:25:
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of times.

Read Genesis. And there was evening, and there was morning, the first day, etc. In the Torah, a day is counted from sunset to the following sunset.

When in doubt.... Do exactly what God says in His word. This one is huge! Its Saturday. Stop putting a question mark where God put a period. 👍
Same thing goes for the Ten Commandments! The Catholic church changed those as well.

All of the Koine Greek N.T. resurrection passages (i.e. Mth 28:1 ; Mrk 16:2 ; Luk 24:1 ; Jhn 20:1 ; Act 20:7) show the phrase ‘μια των σαββατων’ transliterated as 'mia ton sabbaton' literally translated as on ‘one of the sabbaths’ where the pronoun ‘one’ is a part division of the plural noun showing‘sabbaths’.
Although the phrase ‘mia ton sabbatwn’ may be synonymous in meaning with the ‘first day of the week’ scripturally it is not duly supported. The phrase ‘first (ordinal) day of the week’ could have appeared as; ‘πρώτο ημέρα του εβδομάδας’ i.e. ‘first (πρώτο) day (ημέρα) of the (του) week (εβδομάδας)’ and transliterated as ‘prote hemera tis hebdomata’ in the original Koine Greek verses of; Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2, Luke 24:1, St. John 20:1,19; Acts 20:7, and 1 Corinthians 16:2 in the New Testament but does NOT exist anywhere in any way, shape or form.
Matthew 28:1 is a key resurrection verse that translates like this;

“Late (οψε) except (δε) sabbaths (σαββατων) to the (τη) lighting-up (επιφωσκουση) into (εις) one of (μιαν) sabbaths (σαββατων) Mary (μαρια) Magdalene (μαγδαληνη) and (και ) the (η) other (αλλη) Mary (μαρια) observed (θεωρησαι) the (τον) sepulcher (ταφον).”

With a Greek Grammatical Syntax like this;

“Late (adverb) (post-after-end) more-over (the annual Passover) sabbaths, (plural) [genitive of separation] as it was lighting up (twilighting or the torch lighting period) on one (a cardinal number) of the [a partitive genitive case function] sabbaths (plural) came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to view the tomb.”

Thus the interpretation being that the two high Sabbaths of Nisan 15 & 21 had passed and Jesus rose on the weekly Sabbath of Saturday Nisan 23 being one or the first Sabbath in the group of seven weekly Sabbaths observed between the sheaf offering on Passover to the day of Pentecost (i.e. Leviticus 23:11,15).
Jesus as 'Lord of the Sabbath' resurrected after 3 days & 3 nights (i.e. Matthew 12:39,40)

Many "Christians" believe the reason they worship on Sunday is because Christ was resurrected on Sunday. You can not prove this from the Bible. All you can prove is that Christ was not in the grave early on Sunday morning "when it was yet dark" (John 20:1). Christ said the only sign that he would give that he was the messiah is that he would be in the grave 3 days and 3 nights (Matt 12: 38-40). You can't get 3 days and 3 nights (72 hours) between Friday at sundown and Sunday at sunrise. The answer is that there were two sabbaths the week Christ was crucified (one weekly and one annual). If you look at Leviticus 23 where the annual sabbaths (high days) are listed, you will see that the day after Passover is a high (annual) sabbath (Lev 23:6-7). Christ kept the Passover meal (Luke 22:15) with his disciples at the beginning of Passover (sunset) and then was crucified on Passover day. The preparation mentioned in John 19:31 was for the holy day (annual Sabbath) that immediately follows Passover. John 19:31 specifically says that Sabbath was an "high" day. Passover is the 14th, the annual high day is the 15th, so as the sun was setting, a high day was beginning. Luke 23:53-54 says the sabbath "drew on" when the body of Christ was being taken down from the cross and laid in a sepulchre. Compare Mark 16:1 (they bought the spices after the sabbath was past) & Luke 23:56 (they prepared the spices and rested on the sabbath) to show that there were two sabbaths that week. How could they buy the spices after the sabbath was past and then rest on the sabbath after they prepared the spices if there were not two sabbaths that week? Passover day that year was a Wednesday . The annual sabbath was Thursday. Christ was buried "as the sabbath drew on" - meaning just before sunset (Wednesday), and resurrected 72 hours later (3 days and 3 nights). 72 hours from Wednesday just before sunset would be just before sunset on Saturday. He was not there Sunday "while it was yet dark"

You are ignorant of the fact Jesus was crucified and died before sundown on the day before the Passover aka Thursday evening.
He was 'dead as it were' all Thursday night, Friday night and most of Saturday night.
At some time during those days and nights he left the tomb to go tell the Fallen Angels bound inside Earth that Satan's plan had failed and they could stay in torment until Judgment Day.
That must have really sickened them!

All four gospels name the first day of the week as the day Jesus was resurrected. The Sabbath is never mentioned. If 3 days 3 nights was the only sign Jesus gave, then NO ONE witnessed the fulfillment of that sign, so what good was the sign? 3 days, 3 nights is an idiomatic expression like 40 days, 40 nights that appears only in My. 12:40. It was apparently not taken to mean a literal 72 hours. Jesus said, "I do cures today and tomorrow and the third day I shall be perfected." You can't fit 72 hours into that statement either. There are more than 20 references to Jesus bring raised the third day or in three days, only one verse uses the phrase 3 days and 3 nights. The lone verse should be interpreted to accord with the other 20. Moreover, Jesus expressly said that he rose from the dead the third day and that the disciples were witnesses of this fact (Lk 24:46-48). The disciples believed Sunday was the third day (Lk 24:31). There could not have been 2 Sabbaths in the week because only Friday is known as the Preparation. There was no Preparation before the annual holy day because food preparation was permitted before the first and last days of unleavened bread (Ex. 12:16). Besides, the women would not have wasted a whole day preparing spices knowing another Sabbath was coming, and if they had, they would not have waited another whole night after the Sabbath was past to return to the tomb, leaving Jesus in the grave for 84 hours unattended. He would have begun to decay by then. Mk 16 mentions 3 specific women who bought spices after the Sabbath and went to the tomb after the sun had risen. Lk 23 refers to a larger group of women, some of whom prepared spices on Friday before the Sabbath (see Lk 24:10).

Dear Theresa, Lord Jesus Christ of Sabbath was 'NEVER RESURRECTED ON SUNDAY the Sun Luciferian Worship Day'. Number 33: At the age of '33', Jesus/Yehshua was crucified on '25/4/31AD Wednesday' and Lord G-D Father YAHWEH resurrected His One and Only Begotten Son Yehshua on '28/4/31AD Saturday' also known as 'DAYLIGHT SABBATH RESURRECTION'. Jesus walked 2-3 hours from the City of Golgotha to the City of Jerusalem. Nobody recognized Jesus when He walked down the streets. Jesus had a bath in the lake of water, and Jesus closed the 'Holy Sabbath on 28/4/31AD Saturday'. Bible contains numerous 'TRANSLATION ERRORS'. Number '33' once again: 2+5+4+3+1+2+8+4+3+1='33'. Jesus operates His plans with the help of 'Mathematical Design of Numerology'. His birth date was on 11/10/4BC Saturday, Baptized on 11/10/27AD Saturday, Final Passover was on 24/4/31AD Tuesday, Crucified on 25/4/31AD Wednesday, Resurrected on 28/4/31AD Saturday, after 40 days of 'Probation', Jesus ascended to His heavenly sanctuary on 7/6/31AD Thursday and reached the heaven on 14/6/31AD Thursday. Jesus ascended from His 'Third Heaven' to the 'First Heaven' on 22/10/1844 Tuesday to sit on the right hand of His Father Lord YAHWEH to start with the 'Biblical Investigative Judgment for 6030 years starting from October 3996BC to October 2033AD'. 7037 years information: 1. 7 years from October 4004BC to September 3997BC (Lucifer entered in the Garden of Eden to deceive 1. Eve and then 2. Adam). 2. 6023 years from October 3996 BC to May 2026AD. 3. Biblical Tribulation and Great Tribulation of 7 years from May 2026AD to October 2033AD, and 4. 1000 years Sabbath rest in the heavenly sanctuary will be from October 2033AD to September 3033AD. Between September 3033AD and the following month October 3034AD, Jesus will bring His New Jerusalem with His chosen people to this old earth: 1. Great White Throne Judgment, 2. Second Resurrection, 3. Lucifer will be released from the chains

I find much of this interesting. Though your numerology is based on the gregorian calendar which did not exist in the Christ's time. He of course would have used the far more accurate biblical calendar that the Hebrews were using at that time. You are naturally correct about the more likely Wednesday being his last Sabbath meal, then arrest, illegal middle of the night trial, the crucifixion. Then, after the Saturday Sabbath, they found his empty tomb early Sunday morning. 😉💞

Consider these: Scribners Dictionary of the Bible 1898 page 521 says: In the time of the earliest profits the new moon stood in the same line with another lunar observance, the Sabbath. Ezekiel, who curiously enough frequently dates his prophecies on the new moon, describes the gate on the inner court of the temple looking eastward as kept shut for the six working days but opened on the Sabbath and on the new moon.
Encyclopedia Biblica 1899 page 1480: The Hebrew Sabbatation was celebrated at intervals of seven days, corresponding to changes in the moon phases.
Universal Jewish Encyclopedia page 410: Sabbath and new moon both periodically reoccurring in the course of the year. The new moon still is and the Sabbath originally was dependent on the lunar cycle.
The Popular Critical Bible Encyclopedia 1904 Vol.3 page 1497: Among all early nations the lunar months were the rediest large divisions of time corresponding to the phases or quarters of the moon. In order to connect the reckoning by weeks with the lunar month we find that all ancient nations observed some peculiar solemnities to mark the day of the new moon.
Scientific Basis for Sabbath and Sunday by Robert John Floody: Brittany says, The Sabbath was in use among the Semites of arranging their religious festivals in accordance with the four quarters of the moon, referring to the lunar origin of the Sabbath. Wellhousen declares, No other explanation can be discovered. Tiren asserts, Jews observe the lunar system and their months consist of 29 and 30 days alternatively. RA Proctor, The Jewish Sabbath is the quarter month rest day.
Dictionary of the Bible by James Hastings page 807: It is quite conceivable that some form of Sabbath observance, depending on the phases of the moon, was practice by the Hebrews in the desert.

The scriptures are clear. The weekly Sabbaths were on the seventh day, Saturday. In Genesis, the moon was created to mark time. The calendar in the scriptures, established a very accurate lunar based calendar. It did require watching the moon and several adjustments in certain months and years. To simplify life they long ago changed their calendar too, so their current calendar can't be used to calculate anything in biblical times either.

Nisan 14 was a preparation day of ceremonial uncleanliness prior to the Passover feast that was observed for seven days commemorating the Jewish forefather's departure from Eygypt when yeast cakes could not rise due to the constant shaking from movement.
Thus Jesus kept the Passover Sedar at the designated time with His disciples on the 'first day of unleavened bread' (Nisan 15) as stated in Matthew 26:17, Mark 14:12, and Luke 22:7. Therefore leaving Wednesday Nisan 20th as the Passover 'preparation day' when Jesus was crucified and buried before the approaching Thursday Nisan 21st high Sabbath (i.e. John 19:31) which began around 6pm. at sundown.

There is no scripture to support a dawn to dawn day, let alone a dawn to dawn Sabbath. Dawn to dawn days were a Roman practice. No one in the faith ever followed any Roman practices until Constantine converted to the faith, then began the process of merging the Roman Pagan practices into the church. First by his law in Rome that all would worship on Sunday, then by supporting priests that would go along with him. Then those priests backed and funded by him, rewrote the calendar and worked at council meetings to change to Sunday worship. In early catholic writings it even says, Sunday worship proves one faithfulness to the catholic church. Faithfulness to the church, not God! This was a pivotal change that marked the Catholic Church and the way people venerated the priests and the Pope the church created, from then on.

I refuse to imitate your Jesus Christ. That is what you call being a Christians right?
Sources:
-1 John 2:6>The one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

1 Peter 2:21>For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps

When Jesus kept a weekly seventh day sabbath as referenced in Luke 4:16> “And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.” I refuse to keep this Jewish sabbath the legalistic Christ was keeping. I heard that he kept the Passover feast too by feasting with friends while a Lamb was killed for all inhabitants in the city of Jerusalem. He celebrated because he was an Israelite, his people were liberated from Egypt.

Funny enough. Christians do this practice of eating a feast every year during Nisan 14 in April. They are not Israel and they were never in Egypt. But they do yearly Passover and resurrection celebrations anyway.

Happiness from things you create for your new religion.

Sunday is the day the new religion members chose for themselves because or their Lord resurrecting on that day. That resurrection was a new commandment replacing the forth commandment. They do not like the old religion.

Justin Martyr (First apology LXVII) one example of showing the wide practice of this new commandment as referenced in:"On the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place,.." The people dictate their day of fellowship from resurrection parralels not from some old ten commandments. Sadly:

1.You people believe that God exists. You have never read The God Delusion and the "God: the failed Hypothesis.

2.You people believe God is Good. You never read God is not Good: Why religion poisons everything.

The prophecy was never referring to the Sabbath, or constantine.

To try to attempt to include the Sabbath, Constantine ordeal which occurred in 321 ad, into the prophecy of 1,260 days, is entirely illegal, as it doesn't encompass the time of the prophecy.

Ellen G white pointed to an event in the distant past, and use that to justify holy day teachings, when that's not what's being referred to in the prophecy, TO BEGIN WITH.

Besides, you can't go outside the prophecy, the time allotted, and place it in the prophecy.!!!
