Many christians nowadays are famaliar with the word Sabbath. Sabbath actually means "rest". It's orgin is found in the creation in Genesis when God created the heavens and the earth in 6 days but on the 7th day God rested (
Genesis 2:2 - By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done). On the 7th day God rested, blessed it and made it holy, but God does not need rest, blessings or to be made holy, we do! That is why God gave us the 7th day and put it also in the 10 commandments as the 4th commandment in which God tells us to "Remember" this day and keep it holy, 6 days you are to labor and do all your work but the 7th day is the Sabbath day. God commanded us to keep this day not because God wants to boss us around but instead God wants to give us rest, bless us and make us holy. What many christians may or may not be familar with is that the 7th day is and always has been "Saturday". Either way you look at it, from mans point of view, or from God's, we can clearly see that the 7th day is Saturday. For example when you look on the calandar or in the dictionary (which was created by man) the 7th day is Saturday. And when you look in the Bible it is the same (
Mark 16:9 -When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week). The bible testifies that Jesus rose or ressurected on the first day of the week. But what day did Jesus ressurect? On a Sunday! That is why everybody celebrates Easter (resurection day) on a Sunday because Sunday is the first day of the week. (
Mark 16:1 - When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb). Starting from verse 1 we can see clearly that the Sabbath day and the first day of the week are two totally different days because when the Sabbath day (7th day) was over the very early the next morning was the first day of the week (Sunday-the day after Saturday).
I was shocked to find this out because my whole life I was taught that Sunday was the day of rest (Sabbath day). I was even more shocked to find out that many Christians knew this but still continued the practice of Sunday worship (1st day of the week) despite the the 7th day being a commandment of God and despite all the clear evidence that showed this in everyday things such as calandars, dictionary, history books and most important GODS WORD!. I thought to myself, how can this be possible? Why does everybody go to church on Sunday when Saturday is the true Sabbath? Then is was shown to me (
Daniel 7:25 - He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time.) When you fully read Daniel, it is clear that the one who he is talking about here is Satan. One thing Satan will try and succeed in doing is changing God's laws which he gave us for our salvation. When you look back in history this prophecy that Daniel saw was fullfilled in 321 A.D. at the Council of Nicea during the Roman Empire (which was a pagan empire that believed in multiple gods the main one being the god of the unconquered sun), Sabbath day (Saturday) was changed to Sunday, the day in which they worshipped the the Sun God. From that time on people have continued to follow Sunday.
It makes perfect sense, Satan who we know wants to lead us astray from God has decieved us from realizing the the truth by changeing what God gave us to be blessed and made holy. And it is not just the Sabbath day but many other of Gods laws and teachings that God gave us. Jesus said " I am lord of the Sabbath", but Sabbath was abolished during the times of the dark ages. That is why Jesus said he would come again (
Hebrews 9:28 - so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.) Why would Christ have to appear again to bring salvation? Didn't he do that 2000 years ago? Without Sabbath day, Passover and all the feast of God that were changed along time ago there is no salvation.
All thanks and praise to Christ Ahnsahnghong who brought back all the truths of God including the Sabbath, truely he is our God the one whom the bible has testified about since the creation.
