“Remember to keep the Sabbath day holy. Do all your work in six days. But the seventh day is a sabbath to honor the Lord your God. Do not do any work on that day. The same command applies to your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and your animals. It also applies to any outsiders who live in your towns. In six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea and everything in them. But he rested on the seventh day. So the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.- Exodus 20:8–11

From the very beginning of time Sabbath day was established. God rested on the Sabbath Day ( 7th Day Jewish Calendar). The Sabbath day was a specific day set apart and made holy. It was made so we could rest and celebrate God. Then a war started in the heavenlies.

After the death of Jesus, Christian persecution was at a all time high in Rome. Jews and Gentiles who followed Jesus were being killed for following Him and worshipping on Sabbath Saturday.

Some of the Gentiles were afraid, obviously, of being killed on Sabbath. So, they gradually changed the day to Sunday. Note: Satan is behind all of this, not a person or denomination.

There are no scripture evidences that the Sabbath was changed by God, Jesus, or any of his disciples.

It all started in 103 AD, a man by the name of Justin Martyr, who is considered a Saint in the Roman Catholic Church. He declared in written evidence that the Shabbat was given to the Jews because of their sins and that it was evil. Flash forward to the 4th Century March 7th, 321 it became a law, by Roman Emperor Constantine. He declared Sunday a law…”In the Holy Day of The Sun.” “Let all workshops be closed” he declared. Decades later 364, The Roman Catholic Church issued ecclesiastical Sunday Law. Laodecia Canon Number 24. “Christians should honor Sunday, and if possible do no work on that day, Christians should never be idle on Saturday.” In 787, the council “If a Jew professes faith in Jesus, he or she must renounce all Jewish practice, change his name to a Christian name, and eat pork. John Calvin, father of Calvinism in 1509–1564 excerpt from “A response to question and concerns” ….”The Jews deserved to be oppressed” basically kill the Jews Adam Clark, (Methodist) 1760–1832 basically stated that “The Jews are deplorable and miserable.” John Eck, 1721–1809, (foremost defender of Roman Catholic Church) He claimed that the authority of the Roman Catholic Church was above the Bible. He used the Sabbath as proof. He stated “Scripture teaches remember to hollow the Sabbath day, 6 days work, and the 7th say for rest unto the Lord your God, yet it was by us that the Catholic Church that changed the Sabbath to Sunday by our authority.

You see, there was a gradual decline from God ordained system. Human kind that we were better than God which then opened the door for satan to do his work. Satan works slowly over a long period of time. He changes the small details then after a while you’re in a spiral downward going faster than a speeding bullet.

My goal of this post is to expose the lies of Satan and identify how he operates. Many people don’t the history of what they believe and I would encourage you to just stop reading this and do research. There is hope and the hope is returning back to to where we were back in the book of Acts. The body of Messiah was a power house, an unstoppable force. Return back to the day of Sabbath and yes, it is on a specific day and the Bible is clear on it.

3 practical benefits of Sabbath.

Practical Benefits of Shabbat (Sabbath):

  1. It builds strong families.
  2. It counters tendencies of idolatry and conformity to worlds system.
  3. It affirm the simplicity of God’s love.

From day one the primary call and formation of spiritual life was in the home.

The father of the home is the priest and mother the matriarch. This has not changed and we must return to this principle.

“As the home goes, there goes society”
