“PROOF” The Sabbath Was Changed!? Hebrews 4:8 DECODED!

[@rickcruse1515]

The only reason anyone keeps Sunday is because the papacy thought to change the Sabbath from the seventh day to Sunday.
If we could find any changes it would be in the gospel of John which was written around the end of the first century. Nothing there!
Sunday worship is a child of the papacy.

[@MaryMartinez-lm5tv]

How do you make the papacy be involved in this picture show that to me in Daniel 7

[@rickcruse1515]

​@MaryMartinez-lm5tv have to start in Daniel 2. Daniel gives the king the interpretation to the kings dream. Using the historical flow method of interpretation of prophecy we see that the interpretation starts with Babylon then Medes and Persian then Greece then Rome and divided Rome. Next in Daniel 7 the Bible repeats Daniel 2 using different symbols and more details. Daniel 7:23 speaks of 4th beast is the fourth kingdom. Vs. 24 says another king shall arise out of the ten. Vs.25 says he shall speak pompous words against the Most High and wear out the saints of the Most High and think to change times and laws.

[@FishermensCorner]

I apologize if you made the point, but I didn't hear it when I watched the video. The specific day being referred to in Hebrews 4 is the day of the coming messiah. That's why it was talking about Joshua bringing them to the promised land... it has nothing to do with the Sabbath day. Canaan wasn't the real promised land; it represented the true promised land that only the Messiah will bring us to on "another day." This is also why later in Hebrews chapter 4 we see Jesus taking the actions of the Heavenly Priest, so we can rest from the ceremonial requirements (c.ref Hew 9), but are still required to listen to his voice so he can lead us to the promised land (on another day).... salvation... Hewbrew 9:28

[@moshemyym4627]

So what is "the" day opposed to "another" day? And why does the Hebrew writer bring up the sabbath day if it has nothing to do with it?

[@FishermensCorner]

@moshemyym4627 I will rephrase my comment above to hopefully bring clarification. one must read chapter 3 to gain the context into chapter 4, and Hebrews 9:28 repeats it concisely. We see that Moses was trying to bring them into Canaan but the ground swallowed them up. Canaan represents the promised land, and so many people do not make it to the promised land even though they came out of egypt (like Jesus calls us to come out of the world). This is why Psalms 95 is quoted because it's talking about the continued disobedience from the people who had faith to leave but not enough Faith to make it to the promised land. Hebrews chapter 4 then references Joshua who then brings the people to the promised land but God still speaks of another day (this is the first and second coming of Christ). This has nothing to do with the Sabbath day but everything to do with salvation, to the promised land. Since we are not at the promised land (Moses brought us out of Egypt and gave us a way to cleanse pur sin) and since Jesus hasn't returned a second time to bring us to the promised land, then the Sabbath day remains "just as God rested from his works and creation so shall we." the difference being we no longer have to do daily salvational work; this is also mentioned in Hebrews chapter 4 that Jesus is the high priest doing the work (just like Aaron did). So now we can truly enter the Sabbath day as it was intended before the fall of man, having proper faith in his works and not our own.

[@FishermensCorner]

@@moshemyym4627 I edited it because I'm driving and wanted to make it clear.

[@moshemyym4627]

​@@FishermensCorner The "day" is not speaking of the first nor the second coming of the Messiah. That is nowhere in the text. The "day" is related to the "rest" that was promised and this "rest" was also related to the land of Canaan. The adult Israel who came out of Egypt did not enter Yahweh's rest because they were rebellious through faithlessness. We can identify this rest from Numbers and Deuteronomy as the land of Canaan.
The "day" is talking about the Sabbath and we gather this clearly from Hebrews4:3-5 vs.3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: Although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he has said somewhere of the seventh day on this wise, And Yahweh rested on the seventh day from all his works; 5 and in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest.
The Hebrew writer clearly connects the sabbath day to the rest and identifies it where Yahweh rested from His works. This part is reiterated later in vs.10,11. The sabbath day is pointing to something greater, a greater day because entering into His rest happens every week for those who keep the sabbath. But because we know the rest isn't the sabbath alone and that it points to the land of Canaan, the rest and the day combine points to something future. Israel resting from her enemies is also included in this rest.
Lastly, from verses 6-9 it is clearly talking about the sabbath day. That is the day that remains for the people of Yahweh to keep, which is a shadow of the greater rest we will receive when enter into the kingdom of Yahweh.

[@FishermensCorner]

@moshemyym4627 it's literally Psalms 95, Joshua was bringing them to Canaan and even though they made it to Canaan God spoke of another day. It's directly from the text.... and the end of your diatribe, you directly admit to what I just said. The first and second coming of Christ is us entering the presence of the kingdom of god, that's the first coming, and the second coming is permanently into the kingdom of Yahweh... lol dude...

The part where you talked about Jesus speaking about the sabbath day in Matthew 12 brings to mind an argument that I always encounter.
Critcis say that Jesus never taught about the sabbath and therefore it does not need to be observed by Christians. Makes no sense to say that if the critics had read Matthew 12 and equivalent chapters. Such a nonsensical and disappointing argument.

[@StPeter-zh1rk]

Just a little correction there,
Matt 12 was not talking about whether the Gentiles must observe the Sabbath or not. It was talking about what can or can't be done on Sabbath. Also Jesus was not talking to Gentiles, he was talking to the Pharisees.

That observance remains the reminder of the Mother Church from which non-Catholic sects broke away - like a boy running away from his mother but still carrying in his pocket a picture of his mother or a lock of her hair."*

So, *"The church of Rome having been conscious of their errors and corruptions, both in faith and manners, have sundry times pretended reformations; yet their great pride and infinite profit, arising from purgatory, pardons, and such like, hath hindered all such reformations.

When we commenting on scripture that some may deem challenging to understand, it is necessary to know who was the audience and why it was written. The book was written to Jewish Christians who were been pressured to return to the local Jewish teachings. The writer was encouraging them to reaffirm their loyalty to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Hebrew 3 & 4 is all about entering God's Sabbath Rest by believing in God through faith in Jesus. This Rest is an everlasting Rest available to all who come to God through Christ. Understanding this is significant because the Jewish teaching of the day did not acknowledge Christ as the Messiah. These scriptures are NOT addressing what day of the week Christ's followers must worship but rather salvation by faith through grace, not by works, i.e. what day one goes to church etc.
The weekly Sabbath and other Special Sabbath were only a foreshadow of what the Hebrew writer is referring to in these chapters.
Hebrew 4:8-9 clearly states "For if Joshua had given them (the Israelites who made it to the promise land) rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God." This is not about which day one should or shouldn't worship.

Col 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Col 3:22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
Col 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Col 3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. Eph 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
Eph 6:6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; Act 18:2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
Act 18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. Ecc 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. Ecc 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. the main point here is we have those 6 days for "our work, labor, yet we do them as we would to Christ. and this, along with time spent with Him in His word, studying, meditating, prayer, is worship.

They were instructed to meet in assembly only on special Sabbaths, for example, on the first and last day of the passover week. Ex.12:16
There's no instructions for them to meet every Saturday.
Col.2:16-17 states very clearly that what you eat, festivals and Sabbath day were only a shadow of what was to come, the reality is in Christ.
The foregoing is not that difficult to understand but if you are hung on the doctrine of a particular religion, it will choke you.

One thing to remember, if you don't speak for the Most High, you speak for the devil. God reminded us to remember the Sabbath, for in six days He made haven and earth, also remembered the time that you were in bondadge and had no rest in Egypt, I said the Most High, have lead you out with a strong and Mite Hand, this is the reason for keeping the Sabbath.

Exodus 16:4 (KJV)
Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
Exodus 16:5 (KJV)
And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare [that] which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
Exodus 16:23 (KJV)
And he said unto them, This [is that] which the LORD hath said, To morrow [is] the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake [that] which ye will bake [to day], and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
Exodus 16:26-31 (KJV) 26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, [which is] the sabbath, in it there shall be none. 27 And it came to pass, [that] there went out [some] of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. 28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? 29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. 30 So the people rested on the seventh day. 31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it [was] like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it [was] like wafers [made] with honey.

So is the Sabbath that God entered into at Creation identical to the one commanded to the Israelites?
If not, then the Seventh Day Sabbath as prescribed in Exodus 20 is not the Sabbath that is mentioned in verse 10.
If it is, this means that God must be recreating the Earth every six days and then repeating just as prescribed in Exodus 20. Which would make our reality as it is right now impossible.

The Pentecostals do have an amazing influence on the SDA church. The popularity of it's practices of CHARISMA; style of singing and the new form of praise and worship through CHARISMATIC singing, dancing and raising the hands are the OUTWARD demonstration of having Christ; is slowly replacing the more tedious " STUDY OF THE WORD".
It is often said by many of the Pentecostal persuasions , that "those SDA have the WORD; but we have the spirit ".
The Pentecostal churches that teaches the doctrine of the " ONENESS" of Christ; teach that the Godhead is one person ( not three as the SDA teaches); where Jesus is the same as the FATHER, THE SON AND HOLY GHOST.
The influence of the oneness of Christ is now making its way into Adventism and many Pastors and elders now teach this in private groups in a very subdued yet stealthy way as they don't want to openly offend the 28 fundamental beliefs of the body church.

*The Greek word translated "rest" in every other verse throughout Hebrews 3 and 4 is katapausis [G2663].* - *But the word translated "rest" in Hebrews 4:9 is sabbatismos [G4520].* - *This is the only NT occurrence of this word,* - *and its meaning is fundamental to understanding this pivotal verse, which is the conclusion of everything previously said about "rest" beginning in Hebrews 3:7.*
*A few Bibles including the King James have translated this word as “rest” while the Amplified, ASV, NASB, NIV, RSV and NRSV and many other translations have more correctly translated this Greek word as “Sabbath rest.”* - *The literal translation of the Greek word “sabbatismos” is “Sabbath observance.”*
*We also find that “The Scriptures” translated by the Institute for Scripture Research translate the Greek word “sabbatismos” correctly as “Sabbath observance”,* and the Basic English Bible and the highly respected Thayer dictionary use the equally literal phrase of *“Sabbath keeping.”*
*The Anchor Bible Dictionary on page 855 states regarding the meaning of sabbatismos:* - *"The words 'sabbath rest' translate the (Greek) noun sabbatismos, a unique word in the NT.* - *This term appears also in Plutarch...for sabbath observance, and in four post-canonical Christian writings...for seventh day 'sabbath celebration'”*
*The same resource continues with an explanation of the context:* - *"The author of Hebrews affirms in Heb[rews] 4:3-11, through the joining of quotations from Gen[esis] 2:2 and Ps[alm] 95:7, that the promised 'sabbath rest' still anticipates a complete realization 'for the people of God' in the … end-time which had been inaugurated with the appearance of Jesus [Hebrews] 1:1-3*
*"The experience of 'sabbath rest' points to a present 'rest' (katapausis) reality in which those 'who have believed are entering' (4:3) and it points to a future 'rest' reality (**4:11**). Physical sabbath-keeping on the part of the new covenant believer as affirmed by 'sabbath rest' epitomizes cessation from 'works' (**4:10**) in commemoration of God's rest at creation (4:4 = Gen[esis] 2:2) and manifests faith in the salvation provided by Christ.*
*"Heb[rews] 4:3-11 affirms that physical 'sabbath rest' (sabbatismos) is the weekly outward manifestation of the inner experience of spiritual rest (katapausis) in which the final . . . rest is . . . experienced already 'today' (4:7). Thus 'sabbath rest' combines in itself creation-commemoration, salvation-experience, and eschaton [end-time]-anticipation as the community of faith moves forward toward the final consummation of total restoration and rest" (pp. 855-856).*
*The Anchor Bible Dictionary decisively and correctly concludes that sabbatismos means keeping the seventh-day Sabbath.* - *Therefore, Hebrews 4:9 stresses the need to continue to keep the Sabbath in a New Covenant context, even though the day also embodies all it meant under the Old Covenant.*
*Thus, the writer to the Hebrews is saying that since the time of Joshua an observance of the Sabbath rest has been outstanding.”* - *The literal translation then of Hebrews 4:9 is,* - *“Therefore a Sabbath observance has been left behind for the people of God.”*
*The evidence of the preceding verses would also indicate that the Sabbath observance mentioned in this verse has to be the Seventh-day Sabbath and not Sunday.* - *Justin Martyr wrote his remark in A.D. 150 and today, millions of Christians erroneously think that “the Lord’s Day” is Sunday. Certainly, this is a long-held tradition, but the association of the Lord’s Day with Sunday is based on Jewish aversion rather than Scripture.* - *First, he cited the separation of darkness and light on the first day of Creation as grounds for holding a common assembly, and then he refers to the resurrection of Jesus. Martyr offered no Scriptural authority for assembling on Sunday, but his remarks indicate how he justified meeting on Sunday.*
*In verse 8, the author of Hebrews states,* - *“For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not afterward have spoken of another day.”*
*At first glance in our English translations, the word “another” might give the appearance of a different day.* - *However, in the Greek, there are two words for “another”.*
*1.)* - *“Heteros” [G2087] means “another of a different kind”,*
*2.)* - *while “allos” means “another of the same kind”.*
*The word used in Hebrews 4:8 is •“allos” [G243], indicating a Sabbath day of the same kind as referred to in Hebrews 4:5-8, that is, the seventh-day Sabbath.*
*In verse 7, the author of Hebrews uses the term* - *“certain day.”*
*The Greek word for “certain” is “tis” [G5100].* - *It is undoubtedly referencing a specific day and not the general thought of an eternal rest.* - *The written account of Hebrews 3:11-4:11 then must be saying that because Christians look toward the eternal rest of heaven,* - *the Sabbath rest literally remains for Christians to observe.* - *This is very significant in light of the greater context of the book of Hebrews which deals with the entire Aaronic priesthood,* - *and its methods of worship as found in the Old Covenant being supplanted by the Melchizedek priesthood of Jesus Christ.*
*As the author states in Hebrews 12:27,* - *“And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things which have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.”*
*The Sabbath has existed since creation when God added the Seventh day to the week with the one and only purpose of a Sabbath rest.* - *This is the very reason we have a seven-day week today.* - *God also blessed and sanctified this day for Holy use.* - *THIS WAS DONE BEFORE SIN HAD ENTERED THE WORLD AND WAS PART OF GOD'S PERFECT PLAN.* - *Most Christians do not know that the word translated “rested” in our English Bibles in Genesis 2:3 is actually “shabbath” in the Hebrew and means Sabbath.* - *Here is the word Sabbath right at creation.*
*Besides the facts given above, there are several more ways to demonstrate that Jesus did not replace the Sabbath* - *but* - *here is just one very clear example that reveals the Sabbath was kept physically after the cross.* - *The Apostles once asked Jesus about His second coming and the destruction of the temple that occurred in the Jewish wars in 70 A.D.* [Matthew 24:2-19] - *It is in the very next verse that Jesus reveals that a literal Sabbath-keeping remained even four decades after the cross. [Matthew 24:20].*
*And what did Jesus call the Sabbath?* - *Did He call it the* - *“Abolished Sabbath day”* - *or did Christ call it what it was?* - *That is, “The Sabbath Day”* - *Note also that this conversation was in regard to both the destruction of the temple and His Second Coming and so did not apply to just one group of people as some have tried to imply* . - And *note in Matthew 12:8; Mark 2:28 and Luke 6:5 that Jesus did not say I AM the Sabbath, or I am LORD Sabbath.* - *Jesus said, “I am Lord OF the Sabbath.”*
*“The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.”* - Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

*One of the most important figures in this whole drama is Cyrus Ingerson Scofield (1843-1921), a Kansas lawyer* - *who was greatly influenced by the writings of Darby.* - *In 1909, Scofield published the first edition of his famous Scofield Reference Bible.* - 8In the early 1900s, this Bible became so popular in American Protestant Bible Schools that it was necessary to print literally millions of copies.* - *Yet, in the much respected footnotes of this very Bible, Scofield injected large doses of the fluid of futurism also found in the writings of Darby, Todd, Maitland, Bellarmine, and Ribera.* - *Through the Scofield Bible, the Jesuit child reached young adulthood.* - *The doctrine of an Antichrist still to come was becoming firmly established inside 20th-century American Protestantism.*
*The Moody Bible Institute and the Dallas Theological Seminary have strongly supported the teachings of John Nelson Darby, and this has continued to fuel futurism’s growth.* - *Then in the 1970s, Pastor Hal Lindsey, a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, released his blockbuster book The Late Great Planet Earth.* - *This 177 page volume brought futurism to the masses of American Christianity and beyond.* - *The New York Times labelled it “The number one best-seller of the decade.”* - *Over 30 million copies have been sold, and it has been translated into over 30 languages.* - *Through The Late Great Planet Earth, the child of Jesuit futurism became a man.*
*Futurism and Left Behind:*
*Then came Left Behind.* - *In the 1990s, Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins took the future one man Antichrist idea of Hal Lindsey, Scofield, Darby, Irving, Newman, Todd, Maitland, Bellarmine and Ribera and turned it into “The most successful Christian-fiction series ever.”*
*Elements of the current futurist- dispensationalist system of prophetic interpretation are found as far back as 2nd-3rd centuries A.D.*
I will leave it right here. *Please explain your Jesuit inherited doctrine.*
Looking forward to reading your detailed explanation.
Thank you in advance.
