KJV Holy Bible
First of all we find some fine folks that call the Lord’s Day, the Sabbath Day, which to them is Saturday. Then there are the others who call the Lord’s Day, Sunday, the first day of the week. But how could it be either of these days, or even the two put together, for John was in the Spirit receiving those visions for a period of two years. Actually what had happened was that John was caught up in the Spirit and transported into the Lord’s Day, which is yet to come. The Bible speaks of the Day of the Lord which is to be in the future, and John is now seeing the things of that future day. But in the meantime, just to settle our minds, let us find out exactly what the Sabbath is today.
The Sabbath, as we know it from the New Testament, is NOT the keeping of a certain day. We have no command whatsoever to keep Saturday for a Sabbath, nor do we have any commandment to keep the first day of the week, which is Sunday. Here is the truth of the Sabbath, which means “rest.” Hebrews 4:8-10, “For if Jesus had given them rest (or rest day), then would He not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest (Sabbath-keeping) to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.” Did you hear that key phrase in the last part of the verse? “God ceased from His own works.” God gave Israel the seventh day for their Sabbath, in commemoration of His own work wherein He created the world and all that was therein, and then stopped creating. He ceased from His labors. He rested. Now it was fine to give a Sabbath rest to a people who were all in one place at one time, so they could all keep a certain day. Today half the world is in light while the other half is in darkness, so it wouldn’t work at all. But that is just an argument from the natural.
Let’s see what the Bible teaches us about this Sabbath rest. “For he that is entered into his rest.” This entering in is not only entering in, but remaining in, the rest. It is an “eternal rest” of which the seventh day is but a type. “Seven” is completion. “Eight” is the “first” day again. Jesus’ resurrection was in the first day of the week, giving us eternal life and eternal Sabbath rest. Thus we see why God could not give us any one certain day of the week as a Sabbath (rest). We’ve “entered into” and do “remain in” our rest, which Israel could not do, having only a shadow of the true substance which we enjoy. Why go back to a shadow when we have reality now?
How we receive this rest, or continuing Sabbath, is at the invitation of Jesus. He said in Matthew 11:28-29, “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me;…and ye shall find rest (or keeping of the Sabbath, not a day, but eternal life, Sabbath) unto your souls.” No matter how long you have been laboring under your load of sin, whether it is ten years, thirty years or fifty years, or longer, come with your tired weary life and you will find His rest (the true Sabbath). Jesus will give you rest.
Now exactly what is that rest that Jesus will give? Isaiah 28:8-12, “For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. Whom shall He teach knowledge? and whom shall He make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: for with stammering lips and another tongue will He speak to this people. To whom He said, This is the rest (Sabbath) wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest (or keeping of His Sabbath); and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.” Here it is prophesied right here in Isaiah. And it came to pass about 700 years later at Pentecost when they were all filled with the Holy Ghost exactly as it was said they would be. This is the true Sabbath that was promised. Thus when they were filled with the Holy Ghost they ceased from their worldly works, their worldly doings, their evil ways. The Holy Ghost took charge of their lives. They entered into rest. There is your rest. That is your Sabbath. It is not a day, nor a year, but the eternity of being filled and blessed in the Holy Spirit. It is you ceasing, and God doing. It is God in you willing and doing of His good pleasure.
Let me make one more note about the Saturdarians who claim that we meet on the wrong day of the week when we meet on Sunday, the first day. Here is what Justin said in the second century. “On Sunday a meeting is held of all who live in cities and villages, and a section is read of the memoirs of the apostles and the writings as long as time permits. When the reading is finished, the president in a discourse gives the admonition and exhortation to imitate those noble things. After this we all arise to offer common prayer. At the close of the prayer, as we have described, bread and wine are placed before us, and thanksgiving made and the congregation answers, “Amen.” Then the elements are distributed to each one and are partaken of and carried by the deacons to the house of the absent. The wealthy and willing then give contributions according to their free will and this collection is deposited with the president who therewith supplies orphans, widows, prisoners, strangers in want.” Thus we see that those who claim the early church carried on the Judaic tradition of assembling on the last day of the week are grossly ignorant of what history actually sets forth, and are therefore not worthy of confidence.
Oh, that people might come unto Him and find that rest. There is a cry in all hearts for that rest but the majority don’t know the answer. So they try to still the cry by a religious process of keeping certain days or accepting denominational creeds and dogmas.

Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, *every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it and taketh hold of my covenant*
Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for *all* people.

At the close of the prayer, as we have described, bread and wine are placed before us, and thanksgiving made and the congregation answers, “Amen.” Then the elements are distributed to each one and are partaken of and carried by the deacons to the house of the absent. The wealthy and willing then give contributions according to their free will and this collection is deposited with the president who therewith supplies orphans, widows, prisoners, strangers in want.” Thus we see that those who claim the early church carried on the Judaic tradition of assembling on the last day of the week are grossly ignorant of what history actually sets forth, and are therefore not worthy of confidence.
Oh, that people might come unto Him and find that rest. There is a cry in all hearts for that rest but the majority don’t know the answer. So they try to still the cry by a religious process of keeping certain days or accepting denominational creeds and dogmas.
The sabbath of the Lord has never changed from the 7th day to the first day. At creation God rested on sabbath - the seventh day-
After sin, God gave the law at Mt Sinai
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, etc all speak that seventh-day sabbath
Fast forward to the Master, Jesus Himself. He taught in the synagogue on the sabbath (as Paul also did later)
Hebrews talks plainly about the sabbath that God would have given us another day
Revelation concludes with the keeping of the Lords commandments (eg 14:6-12) , and so on and so forth
So, God changeth not for any man, for any reason. Much of wordiness is simply bedding-in an uncanny stubbornness, justifying the love of a life outside the demands of God’s word. The basic truth is that many people find God’s ways restricting-the same accusation Lucifer did in heaven, turning himself into the devil, giving us all the problems we face today.
Joshua 24:15 closes it very well…… people can choose to do what they want but as for me and house, I will choose the Lord. By God’s grace I do too; and I invite others to do too. It’s not yet too late but God’s mercy will not always strive with men
@@vueneonee7144 You again!? 😃
@@vueneonee7144 Did you know that a prophet showed John the whole Book of Revelation even the unwritten Seven Thunders?
That's why today the bride of Christ has the Revelation of the Seven Thunders.
Thanx be to God🙏🙏🙏🦅🦅🦅
@@eagleeyes6642 Revelation begins with a pretty much conclusive and definitive authorship: “the Revelation of Jesus Christ….” So there would be no ambiguity, argument!!! Jesus, the Creator is now concluding what He started in Genesis in Revelation. As I said to you before, the Bible is mainly about JESUS, the One who died for us,
I hope that is clear
Died for Jesus Christ I want to see of God I don't want no mark of the beast I'll give my life to Jesus Christ but I will not take the mark I want to live a thousand years with Christ but I will not want to be here and he's coming soon I'm going home to the rapture that's that's weird because of my church we only got church Wednesday and Sunday we don't got Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday weather supposed to rest on Sunday what's going on with these churches now they don't want to rest on they don't want to work on Saturdays but they want to watch shrimp the Lord on Sunday it don't make no sense the 770 is to rest on Sunday we have to serve God Monday through Saturday Sunday we rest but my church doesn't do that😢
We appreciate your dedication and commitment to your faith in Jesus Christ. It's wonderful to hear that you desire to live for Him and to be prepared for His second coming. As Adventists, we believe in the blessed hope of the rapture and the promise of eternal life with Christ.
May your faith in Jesus Christ continue to grow as you eagerly anticipate His return.
