THE SABBATH


BRETHREN AND FRIENDS, HERE ARE A FEW VERSES FROM THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, WHICH UNEQUIVOCALLY DECLARE THAT THE TRUE SABBATH (SINCE THE GARDEN OF EDEN), HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE SEVENTH DAY.

AND I GAVE THEM MY STATUTES, AND SHEWED THEM MY JUDGMENTS, WHICH IF A MAN DO, HE SHALL EVEN LIVE IN THEM.
MOREOVER ALSO I GAVE THEM, MY SABBATHS, TO BE A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THEM, THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD THAT SANCTIFY THEM.

I AM THE THE LORD YOUR GOD; WALK IN MY STATUTES, AND KEEP MY JUDGMENTS, AND DO THEM;
AND HALLOW MY SABBATHS; AND THEY SHALL BE A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND YOU, THAT THEY MAY KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD.
EZEKIEL 20: 11&12; 19&20.

THERE ARE THOSE THAT CLAIM THAT THEY KEEP SUNDAY AS THE LORD'S DAY, BECAUSE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS RESURRECTED ON A SUNDAY. TO THOSE WHO SHARE THIS PERSPECTIVE, I POINT OUT THE FOLLOWING VERSES WHERE OUR LORD STATED:

BUT PRAY YE THAT YOUR FLIGHT BE NOT IN THE WINTER, NEITHER ON THE SABBATH DAY:
FOR THEN SHALL BE GREAT TRIBULATION, SUCH AS WAS NOT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD TO THIS TIME, NO, NOR, EVER SHALL BE.

HEAVEN AND EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY, BUT MY WORDS SHALL NOT PASS AWAY.
MATTHEW 24: 20 & 21; 35.

FOR THE SON OF MAN IS LORD EVEN OF THE SABBATH DAY.
MATTHEW 12: 8.

AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH:
THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH.
MARK 2: 27&28.
