Importance of 7th Day Shabbat Observance By Believers

Yahuweh considered the Shabbat (English: Sabbath) so important, so necessary for His human creation, that He kept it Himself. In fact, the crowning achievement in His creation of the vast universe--the last act He performed--was to bless, sanctify and rest on the Seventh Day:

Beresheith 2: "And on the Seventh Day Elohim ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the Seventh Day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then Elohim blessed the Seventh Say and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which Elohim had created and made."

100 Bible Facts Concerning the Sabbath

Why keep the Sabbath Day? What is the object of the Sabbath? Who made it? When was it made, and for whom? Which day is the true Sabbath? Many keep the first day of the week, Sunday. What Bible authority have they for this?

There is now a growing count of more than 10 million Believers in over 500 denominations world-wide who keep the Seventh Day, Saturday as the Sabbath. What Scripture have they for that? Here are the facts about both days, as plainly stated in the Word of God.

DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHICH DAY WE OBSERVE AS SHABBAT?

Yahshua and His Talmidim (Disciples) Observed and Kept Shabbat

THE APOSTLES AND DISCIPLES KEPT THE 7TH DAY SHABBAT 84 TIMES IN THE BOOK OF ACTS!!!

HOW THEN SHOULD WE KEEP IT??

Here are one hundred plain Bible facts upon this question, showing conclusively that the Seventh Day is the Sabbath of the Lord in both the First and Renewed Covenant

(LAY OUT YOUR BIBLE AND CHECK THE MANY SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES GIVEN)

The following 100 Facts are reprinted from a tract published by the Review and Herald Publishing Association (1885) (updated)

1. After working the first six days of the week in creating this earth, the Great God rested on the Seventh Day. (Genesis 2:1.3)

2. This stamped that day as God’s Rest Day, or Sabbath Day, as Sabbath Day means rest day. To illustrate: When a person is born on a certain day, that day thus becomes his birthday. So when God rested upon the Seventh Day, that day became His rest, or Sabbath, day.

3. Therefore the Seventh Day must always be God’s Sabbath Day. Can you change your birthday from the day on which you were born to one on which you were not born? No. Neither can you change God’s rest day to a day on which He did not rest. Hence the Seventh Day is still God’s Sabbath day.

4. The Creator blessed the Seventh Day. (Genesis 2:3)

5. He sanctified the Seventh Day. (Exodus 20:11)

6. He made it the Sabbath Day in the Garden of Eden. (Gen. 2:1-7).

7. It was made before the fall; hence it is not a type; for types were not introduced till after the fall.

8. Jesus says it was made for man (Mark 2:27), that is, for the (human) race, as the word man is here unlimited; hence, for the Gentile as well as for the Jew.

9. It is a memorial of creation. (Exodus 20:11; 31:17) Every time we rest upon the Seventh Day, as God did at creation, we commemorate that Grand Event.

10. It was given to Adam, the head of the human race. (Mark2:27; Genesis 2:1-3)

11. Hence through him, as our representative, to all nations. (Acts 17:26)

12. It is not a Jewish institution, for it was made 2,300 years before ever there was a Jew.

13. The Bible never calls it the Jewish Sabbath, but always “the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.”

14. Evident reference is made to the Sabbath and the seven-day week all, through the patriarchal age. (Genesis 2:1-3; 8:10-12; 29:27-28.etc.)

15. It was a part of God’s Law before Sinai. (Exodus 16:4, 27-29)

16. Then God placed it in the heart of His Moral Law. (Exodus 20:1-17) Why did He place it there if it was not like the other nine precepts, which all admit to be Immutable?

17. The Seventh-Day Sabbath was commanded by the voice of the Living God. (Deuteronomy 4:12-13)

18. Then He wrote the Commandment with His own finger. (Exodus 31:18)

24. God promised that Jerusalem should stand forever if the Jews would keep the Sabbath (Jeremiah 17:24-25)

25. He sent them into the Babylonish captivity for breaking it. (Nehemiah 13:18)

26. He destroyed Jerusalem for its violation. (Jeremiah 17:2)

27. God has pronounced a special blessing on all the Gentiles who will keep it. (Isaiah 56:6-7)

28. This is in the prophecy, which refers wholly to the universality of Christ`s reign in the `Millennium`. (See Isaiah 56)

29. God has promised to bless all who keep the Sabbath. (Isaiah 56:2)

30. The Lord requires us to call it “honourable.” (Isaiah 58:13) Beware, ye who take delight in calling it “a yoke of bondage,” etc.

31. After the Holy Sabbath has been trodden down by “many generations,” it is to be restored in the last days. (Isaiah 58:12-13)

32. All the holy prophets kept the Seventh Day.

33. When the Son of God came, He kept the Seventh Day all His life. (Luke 4:16; John 15:10) Thus He followed His Father’s example at creation. Shall we not be safe in following the example of both the Father and the Son?

34. The Seventh Day is the Lord’s Day. (See Revelation 1:10; Mark 2:28; Isaiah 58:13; Exodus 20:10)

35. Jesus was Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28), that is, to love and protect it, as the husband is the lord of the wife, to love and cherish her (1 Peter 3:6)

36. He vindicated the Sabbath as a merciful institution designed for man’s good. (Mark 2:23-28)

37. Instead of abolishing the Sabbath, He carefully taught how it should be observed. (Matthew 13:1-13)

40. The pious women who had been with Jesus carefully kept the Seventh Day after His death. (Luke 23:56)

41. Thirty years after Christ’s resurrection, the Holy Spirit expressly calls it “the Sabbath Day,” (Acts 13:14)

42. Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, called it the “Sabbath Day” . (Acts 13:27) Did not Paul know? Or shall we believe modern teachers, who affirm that it ceased to be the Sabbath at the resurrection of Christ?

43. Luke, the inspired Christian historian, writing as late as A.D. 62, calls it the “Sabbath Day.” (Acts 13:44)

44. The Gentile converts called it the Sabbath. (Acts 13:42)

45. In the great Christian council, A.D. 49, in the presence of the apostles and thousands of disciples, James calls it the “Sabbath Day.” (Acts 15:21)

47. Paul read the Scriptures in public meetings on that Day. (Acts 17:2-3)

48. It was his custom to preach upon that Day. (Acts 17:2-3)

49. The Book of Acts alone gives a record of his holding eighty-four meetings upon that Day. (See Acts 13:14, 44; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4. 11)

50. There was never any dispute between the Early Christians and the Jews about the Sabbath Day. This is proof that the Early `Christians` still observed the same Day that the Jews did.

51. In all their accusations against Paul, they never charged him with disregarding the Sabbath Day. Why did they not, if he did not keep it?

52. But Paul himself expressly declared that he had kept the Law. “Neither against the Law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended in any thing at all.” (Acts 25:8) How could this be true if he had not kept the Sabbath?

53. The Sabbath is mentioned in the New Testament fifty-nine times, and always with respect, bearing the same title it had in the Old Testament, “the Sabbath Day.”

54. Not a word is said anywhere in the New Testament about the Sabbath Day being abolished, done away, changed, or anything of the kind.

55. God has never given permission to any man to work upon it. Reader, by what authority do you use - the Seventh Day for common labour?

56. No follower of Christ in the New Testament, either before or after the resurrection, ever did ordinary work upon the Seventh Day. Find one case of that kind, and we will yield the question. Why should modern `Christians` do differently from Bible Chris-tians?

57. There is no record that God has ever removed His blessing or sanctification from the Seventh Day.

58. As the Sabbath was kept in Eden before the fall, so it will be observed eternally in the new earth after the restitution. (Isaiah 66:22-23)

59. The Seventh-Day Sabbath was an important part of the Law of God, as it came from His own mouth, and was written by His own finger upon stone at Sinai. (See Exodus 20) When Jesus began His work, He expressly declared that He had not come to destroy the Law. “Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the prophets.” (Matthew 5:17)

60. Jesus severely condemned the Pharisees as hypocrites for pretending to love God, while at the same time they made void one of the Ten Commandments by their tradition. The keeping of Sunday is only a tradition of men.

Forty Bible Facts Concerning the First Day of the Week

61. The very first thing recorded In the Bible is work done on Sunday, the first day of the week. (Genesis l: l-5) The Creator Himself did this. If God made the earth on Sunday, can it be wicked for us to work on Sunday?

62. God commands men to work upon the first day of the week. (Exodus 20:8-11) Is it wrong to obey God?

63. None of the patriarchs ever kept Sunday.

64. None of the holy prophets ever kept Sunday.

65. By the express command of God, His holy people used the first day of the week as a common working day for 4,000 years, at least.

66. God Himself calls it a “working” day. (Ezekiel 46:1)

67. God did not rest upon Sunday.

68. He never blessed Sunday.

69. Christ did not rest upon Sunday.

70. Jesus was a carpenter (Mark 6:3), and worked at His trade until He was thirty years old. He kept the Sabbath and worked six days in the week, as all admit. Hence He did many a hard day’s work on Sunday.

71. The apostles worked on Sunday during the same time.

72. The apostles never rested on Sunday.

73. Christ never blessed Sunday.

74. Sunday has never been blessed by any Divine Authority.

75. Sunday has never been sanctified.

76. No Law was ever given to enforce the keeping of it, hence it is no transgression to work upon it. “Where no Law is, there is no transgression.” (Romans 4:15. See also 1 John 3:4)

77. The New Testament nowhere forbids work to be done on Sunday.

78. No penalty is provided for Sunday violation.

79. No blessing is promised for Sunday observance.

80. No regulation is given as to how Sunday ought to be observed. Would this be so if the Lord wished us to keep it?

81. Sunday is never called the Christian Sabbath.

82. Sunday is never called the Sabbath Day at all.

83. Sunday is never called the Lord’s Day.

84. Sunday is never called even a rest day.

85. No sacred title whatever is applied to Sunday. Then why should we call it holy?

86. It is simply called “first day of the week.”

87. Jesus never-mentioned Sunday in any way, never took its name upon His lips, so far as the record shows.

88. The word `Sunday` never occurs in the Bible anywhere

89. Neither God, Christ, nor inspired men ever said one word in favour of Sunday as a holy day.

90. The first day of the week is mentioned only eight times in all the New Testament. (Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:2 + 9; Luke 24:1; John 20:1+19; Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2)

91. Six of these texts refer to the same first day of the week.

92. Paul directed the saints to look over their secular affairs on Sunday. (1Corinthians 16:2)

93. In all the New Testament we have a record of only one religious meeting held on `Sunday`, (Acts 20:5-12) and even this was a (Saturday) night meeting, after Sundown on the `Saturday` Sabbath, (a fellowship meal-time). This meal/breaking of bread took place `a long while before daybreak` on Sunday morning, as the Text states in Verse 11. And at `Daybreak` the Text declares, St. Paul took his leave. He didn`t `hang around` for an Eleven O`Clock Sunday Morning Service, for the Bible says - `at break-of-day, he departed.` That would also mean he didn`t regard Sunday as being `Special` or `Sabbath` as he, being a devout Jew would not have set off on a long journey by ship on the Sabbath Day, as the text declares he did. Did you note that the `breaking-of-bread` took place, not at Ten or Eleven O`clock in the morning, but `a long while `before daybreak` Sunday morning? --see verse 11. (Acts 20:5-12)

94. There is no intimation that they ever held a meeting on Sunday before or after that.

95. It was not their custom to meet on Sunday.

96. There was no requirement to break bread on Sunday.

97. We have an account of only one instance in which it was done. (Acts 20:7)

98. The `breaking of bread` was done in the night...after Saturday midnight, and early Sunday before day-break. (Verses 7-11). Jesus `broke bread` on Tuesday evening after Sundown just before His arrest and Trial (beginning of Passover :Luke 22) but that holy act didn`t make Tuesday or Wednesday the Sabbath Day. And the disciples sometimes broke bread every day (Acts Ch.2)

99. The Bible nowhere says that the first day of the week commemorates the resurrection of Christ. This is a tradition of men, which contradicts the Law of God. (Matthew 15:1-9) Baptism commemorates the burial and resurrection of Jesus. (Romans 6:3-5)

100. Finally, the New Testament is totally silent with regard to any change of the Sabbath Day or any sacredness for the first day. Here are one hundred plain Bible facts upon this question, showing conclusively that the Seventh Day is the Sabbath of the Lord in both the Old and New Testament.

The above 100 Bible Facts are reprinted from a tract published by the Review and Herald Publishing Association (1885).updated

WHAT OUR `CHURCH` SPOKESMEN SAY CONCERNING SUNDAY

SCOTTISH PRESBYTERIAN:

Professor James C. Moffatt, D.D., Professor of Church History at Princeton University, says: "It seems to have been customary in the Celtic churches of early times, in Ireland as well as Scotland, to keep Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, as a day of rest from labour. They obeyed the fourth Commandment literally upon the Seventh Day " `The Church in Scotland,` p.140

"The Sabbath is part of the decalogue -- the Ten Command-ments, This alone forever settles the question as to the perpetuity of the institution. ... Until therefore it can be shown that the whole Moral Law has been repealed, the Sabbath will stand. ... The teaching of Christ confirms the perpetuity of the Sabbath." T.C.BLAKE,`Theology Condensed` (pp. 474-475).

"For the permanency of the Sabbath, we might argue for its place in the decalogue, where it stands enshrined among the moralities of a rectitude that is immutable and ever-lasting" Thomas Chalmers, D. D., `Sermons`, (vol.1: p. 51.)

Presbyterian: Sunday kept the Gentiles happy

"Sunday being the first day of which the Gentiles solemnly adored that planet and called it Sunday, partly from its influence on that day especially, and partly in respect to its divine body (as they conceived it) the Christians thought fit to keep the same day and the same name of it, that they might not appear carelessly peevish, and by that means hinder the conversion of the Gentiles, and bring a greater prejudice that might be otherwise taken against the gospel" T.M. Morer, Dialogues on the Lord's Day

CONGREGATIONALIST: (UNITED REFORMED CHURCH)

"It must be confessed that there is no law in the New Testament to change the Sabbath Day from the 7th day of the week to the 1st day of the week"

`Buck's Theological Dictionary`.

"The current notion that Christ and His apostles authoritatively substituted the first day for the seventh, is absolutely without authority in the New Testament." Dr. Lyrnan Abbott, `Christian Union`, Jan.19, 1882.

BAPTIST:

"We believe that the law of God is the eternal and imperishable rule of His moral government" Baptist Church Manual."The first four commandments set forth man's obligations directly toward God. ... The fourth commandment sets forth God's claim on man's time and thought. ... Not one of the ten words [commandments] is of merely racial significance. ... The Sabbath was established originally [long before Moses] in no special connection with the Hebrews, but as an institution for all mankind, in commemoration of God's rest after six days of creation. It was designed for all the descendants of Adam." `Adult Quarterly`, Southern Baptist Convention series, Aug.15, 1937

"There was and is a commandment to keep holy the Sabbath day, but that Sabbath day was not Sunday. .... It will be said, however, and with some show of triumph, that the Sabbath was transferred from the seventh to the first day of the week. ... Where can the record of such a transaction be found? Not in the New Testament -- absolutely not. There is no scriptural evidence of the change of the Sabbath institution from the seventh to the first day of the week.

"To me (it) seems unaccountable that Jesus, during three years' intercourse with His disciples, often conversing with them. upon the Sabbath question ... never alluded to any transference of the day; also that during forty days of His resurrection life, no such thing was intimated.

"Of course, I quite well know that Sunday did come into use in early Christian history as a religious day, as we learn from the Christian Fathers and other sources. But what a pity that it comes branded with the mark of paganism, and christened with the name of the sun god, when adopted and sanctioned by the papal apostasy, and bequeathed as a sacred legacy to Protestantism!"... Dr. Edward T. Hiscox, author of `The Baptist Manual` (still in print), in a `paper` read before New York ministers' conference held Nov.13, 1893.

EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN:

"There is no direct scriptural authority for designating Sunday as the Sabbath Day" Dr. D. H. Lucas, `Christian Oracle`, Jan.23, 1890.

"I do not believe that the Lord's day came in the room [place] of the Jewish Sabbath, or that the Sabbath was changed from the seventh to the first day, for this plain reason, where there is no testimony, there can be no faith. Now there is no testimony in all the Oracles that the Sabbath was changed, or that the Lord's day came in the room [place] of it" Alexander Campbell, `Washington Reporter`, Oct. 8, 1821. (Church of Christ).

METHODIST

"....but the Moral Law contained in the Ten Commandments, and enforced by the prophets, He did not take away. ... The Moral Law stands on an entirely different foundation from the ceremonial or ritual law. ... Every part of this Law must remain in force upon all mankind and in all ages." John Wesley, `Sermons on Several Occasions` (2 vol. ed., vol.1, pp. 221, 222).

"The Sabbath was made for MAN; not (only) for the Hebrews, but for all men." B. 0. Haven, `Pillars of Truth` (p. 88).

"The people became Christians and were ruled by an emperor named Constantine [312-327 AD]. This emperor made Sunday the Christian Sabbath, because of the blessing of light and heat which came from the Sun. `Sunday School Advocate` (Dec.31, 1921).

ANGLICAN: "There is no word, no hint, in the New Testament about abstaining from work on Sunday. . . . Into the rest of Sunday [i.e., Sunday as a day of rest and worship] no divine law enters. . . . The observance of Ash Wednesday or Lent stands on exactly the same footing as the observance of Sunday". Canon Eyton, `The Ten Commandments`.

"Where are we told in Scripture that we are to keep the first day at all? We are commanded to keep the seventh; but we are nowhere commanded to keep the first day. . . .The reason why we keep the first day of the week holy instead of the seventh is for the same reason that we observe many other things, not because the Bible, but because the church has enjoined it." Isaac Williams, D. D., `Plain Sermons on the Catechism`, (vol.1, pp. 334-336).

LUTHERAN:

 "I wonder exceedingly how it came to be imputed to me that I should reject the law of Ten Commandments. ... Whosoever abrogates the law must of necessity abrogate sin also."Martin Luther, `Spiritual Antichrist` ( pp. 71- 72.)

"They [the Catholics] allege the Sabbath changed into Sunday, the Lord's day, contrary to the decalogue, as it appear, neither is there any example more boasted of than the changing of the Sabbath Day. Great, they say, is the power and authority of the Church, since it dispensed with one of the Ten Commandments. Martin Luther, `Augsburg Confession of Faith` (Art. 28: Par. 9)

"But they err in teaching that Sunday has taken the place of the Old Testament Sabbath and therefore must be kept as the Seventh Day had to be kept by the children of Israel. In other words, they insist that Sunday is the divinely appointed New Testament Sabbath, and so they endeavor to enforce the Sabbatical observance of Sunday by so-called blue laws. ... These churches err in their teaching, for Scripture has in no way ordained the first day of the week in place of the Sabbath. There is simply no law in the New Testament to that effect. John T. Mueller, `Sabbath or Sunday?` (pp.15-16)

"We must not imagine that the coming of Christ has freed us from the authority of the Law; for it is the eternal rule of a devout and holy life, and must therefore be as unchangeable as the justice of God, which it embraced, is constant and uniform." John Calvin, `Commentary on a Harmony of the Gospels` (vol.1 p. 277).

"We have made the change from the seventh day to the first day, from Saturday to Sunday, on the authority of one holy Catholic Church." Bishop Seymour, `Why We Keep Sunday` (Article 12).

The Scottish Celtic Church
"In this latter instance they seemed to have followed a custom of which we find traces in the early monastic church of Ireland by which they held Saturday to be the Sabbath". W TSkene, "Adamnan Life of St. Columba" (p.96) 1874

"The custom to call the Lord's Day (Sunday) Sabbath did not commence until a thousand years later" Adamnan's "Life of Columba" (Dublin, 1857), p. 230 (Editor`s note)

"Having continued his labours in Scotland thirty-four years, he (St Columba) clearly and openly foretold his death, and on Saturday, the 9th day of the month of June, said to his disciple Diermit: "This day is called the Sabbath, that is the Rest Day, and such will it truly be to me; for it will put an end to my labours.'" "Butler's Lives of the Saints," (Vol.1, A.D. 597 "St. Columba" (p. 762 Columba) (Re Dr. Butler's Description Of St Columba`s Death)

MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE

"When Christ was on earth He did nothing to set it (the Sabbath)aside; He freed it from the traces under which the scribes and Pharisees had put it, and gave it its true place. 'The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.' It is just as practicable and as necessary for men today as it ever was -- in fact, more than ever, because we live in such an intense age" Dwight L. Moody, `Weighed and Wanting` (p. 46).

"The Sabbath was binding in Eden, and it has been in force ever since. The fourth Commandment begins with the word 'remember,' showing that the Sabbath already existed when God wrote the Law on the Tables of Stone at Sinai. How can men claim that this one Commandment has been done away when they will admit that the other nine are still binding?"
Dwight L. Moody, `Weighed and Wanting` (p. 47).

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH: Scotland/ Ireland "We seem to see here (in Scotland) an allusion to the custom, observed in the early monastic Church of Ireland, of keeping the day of rest on Saturday, or the Sabbath" `History of the Catholic Church in Scotland,` (Vol.1: p. 86), by Catholic historian Bellesheim.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH (WORLDWIDE)

"From this same Catholic Church you have accepted your Sunday, and that Sunday, as the Lord's day, she had handed down as a tradition: and the entire Protestant world has accepted it as tradition, for you have not an iota of Scripture to establish it. Therefore that which you have accepted as your rule of faith, inadequate as it of course is, as well as your Sunday, you have received from the holy catholic church" D. B. Ray, `The Papal Controversy`, 1892 (p. 179)

"I have repeatedly offered $1,000 to anyone who can prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the holy Catholic Church alone. The Bible says, 'Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. The Catholic church says: `No. by my divine power I abolish the Sabbath Day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week.`...and lo! the entire civilised world bows down in a reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church" T. Enright, C.S.S.R. in a lecture at Hartford, Kansas, Feb. 18, 1884. (Roman Catholic Teacher of Church Dogma)

"The Catholic Church for over 1000 years, before the existence of a Protestant, by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday. ... The Christian Sabbath [Sunday] is therefore to this day the acknowledged offspring of the Catholic Church. ... without a word of remonstrance from the Protestant world." `The Catholic Mirror`, Sept.23, 1893.

"You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we [Catholics] never sanctify." James, Cardinal Gibbons, `The Faith of Our Fathers` (p. 11]

"Reason and sense demand the acceptance of one or the other of these alternatives: either Protestantism and the keeping holy of Saturday or Catholicity and the keeping holy of Sunday. Compromise is impossible." James, Cardinal Gibbons, `Catholic Mirror` (Dec. 23, 1893)

"Nowhere in the Bible do we find that Christ or the apostles ordered that the Sabbath be changed from Saturday to Sunday. We have the Commandment of God given to Moses to keep holy the Sabbath Day, that is the Seventh Day of the week, Saturday. Today most Christians keep Sunday because it has been revealed to us by the (Catholic) church outside the Bible." `Catholic Virginian`, Oct. 3, 1947.

"Sunday is a Catholic institution, and its claims to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles. ... From beginning to end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the trans-fer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first." `Catholic Press`, Sydney, Australia, August 25, 1900.

"Sunday is founded, not on Scripture, but on tradition, and is distinctly a Catholic institution. As there is no Scripture for the transfer of the day of rest from the last to the first day of the week, Protestants ought to keep their Sabbath on Saturday and thus leave Catholics in full possession of Sunday." `Catholic Record`, September 17, 1893.
