I have already done a blog on the truth of the fact that we should honour the weekly Sabbath he speaks of here but also the other Holy Days and Sabbaths mistakenly believed to be only for the Jewish religion.
The Fourth commandment ... Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord
thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy
stranger that is within thy gates:
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Many claim that we are no longer to honour the Sabbath since Jesus' death on the cross but right away my first question than is this...Why did Jesus tell his disciples to pray their flight would not be in
winter or on the Sabbath day if the Sabbath day was not to continue? Matthew 24:20 " But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day"Why did the disciples
even after Jesus' resurrection still keep the Sabbath?Why were
gentiles in the synagogues with the Jews listening to Paul preach on
every sabbath if it ended? Why does Jesus tell the last generation to pray that the tribulation doesn't come in the winter or on the Sabbath day proving it to be the weekly sabbath he was referring to? Christ was definitely talking
about a future event that would not take place until way after his death burial
and resurrection and he could only have been talking about two flights here
which was the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and the Great tribulation which
we are about to enter or BOTH. This simple warning and statement does not allow for any 'rapture' either. Jesus' true followers will have to FLEE at the onset of the
Tribulation to escape the revived political entity and the False Prophet
that heads up a fraudulent 'christianity' when they think they will be
doing God service by murdering those heretics True Christians that keep
the Sabbath.
Looking down through time,-Christ knew His true followers would be
keeping the 4th commandment, the Sabbath, and not the day of the SUN
god Baal. He wants us to pray that when we do have to flee it will
not happen on a Sabbath Day nor in the winter time because He knows that
the true believers would be honoring God on that day. He also doesn't want to see us suffer the perils of winter.
Jesus as was His custom observed the Sabbath. It was never done
away with and in fact it was a Law since creation thousands of years
before any Jew was born. "Christianity" adopted the pagan day
of the sun to gain pagan converts to their religion and hence is not
based upon Biblical authority.
Either way Christ is expecting his true
followers to be keeping the Sabbath during these flights Thus saith the Lord. Does
anyone want to disregard the
very words of Christ himself? ……
Did Jesus not mean what he said when he said if you break even the least
of the commandments and teach others to do so that you will be called
least in the Kingdom of Heaven? Was that not true? I don't believe
Jesus to be a liar..do you?Don't worry about anyone who belittle you by
calling you all sorts of names for doing what GOD TOLD YOU TO DO. Just
keeping doing his will. Stay true to your faith and don't be afraid..
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of
love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 ..and pray for those who
don't understand.. "Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for
it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." Romans 8:7
It is made very clear that the law was not done away with and is not only for the Jewish people Isaiah
56:6-7 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 everyone 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" The use of the word ALL is usually ignored by false teachers.
Of course some will ' not get it' and think that simply talking about
love and peace and accepting the Lord is all that is required of them. Man has
made the mistake for eons thinking that we can invent our own
religions and honor God with their fabrications but God is not
impressed or pleased. Continue to keep the commandments of GOD. Do not be discouraged. There
are many that claim to know GOD but they have very little understanding
regarding the things that he wants us to do even though they are right
in our face in the bible. Keep up the good work, And never forget the 4th commandment. GOD BLESS
Please refer to my other blogs on this topic. One is titled "Sunday - A violation of Sabbath?" and " The Holy Days we are to honour"
The
Fourth Commandment—observing the seventh day Sabbath—is the one most
professing Christians refuse to obey. Most assume that men have the
authority to change the Sabbath to whatever day is most convenient.Yet
Christ kept the Sabbath on the seventh day. “And He came to Nazareth,
where He had been brought up: and, as His custom was, He went into the
synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to
read” (Luke 4:16). This is JESUS we are talking about here. Jesus kept
the correct Sabbath day and yet we think we are supposed to change it to
Sunday? Hmmm... What example did Paul follow? Jesus or himself?
Paul followed Jesus' example. He taught in the synagogues on the
Sabbath (Acts 17:2). And not just to the Jews, but also to the
Gentiles(those out of covenant). (Acts 13:42, 44). There no evidence
that Paul led them to keep Sunday and there is no evidence that the Jews
accused Paul of not keeping the Sabbath indicating that he must have
held to the original and only correct day; Friday sundown to Saturday
sundown. It was changed by the Roman Catholic church under their own
authority and still in their documents going back to when Roman empire
and Christianity were deceptively intermingled. When correctly
translated, Hebrews 4:9 should read, “There remains therefore a keeping
of the Sabbath to the people of God.”Christ
also says that He “is the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Heb.
13:8) meaning He will not change now or in the future. New Testament
observance of the seventh-day Sabbath is established in Hebrews 4:9.xo
Don't take my word for it...Look it up xo
Sabbath is today until sundown not Sunday like you have been tricked
into believing. This may not seem important now but it will once it
becomes a Divider amongst believers and non believers alike.Peter 5:8 Be
sober be vigilant because your adversary the devil walketh about
seeking who he may devour" And has many deceived
Challenge: Start to honour the true Sabbath day of our Lord as he intended. Do not Work on Sabbath. The day was meant to build a relationship with HIM and to begin to understand his true purpose for you. You can spend your time with family doing bible study and learning about God, KEEP IN MIND THAT if you aren't working then he would want no one working....so no buying anything this day either. No shopping at all! make sure you have everything you need before Friday at sundown until Saturday at sundown showing you put some thought into spending the time with him and putting him first. Save all your chores for another day....there are 6 other days to do that and yes I AGREE society has made it VERY difficult to follow Gods instructions in this area as Saturday is one of the busiest days of the week for shopping and as someone who is self employed IT IS VERY TOUGH but you have to have faith that if you are holding to Gods commandments he will look after you. You are never to fear anything but God himself and we would be better people to remember that xoxoxo
We need to start to think the God intended us to think. If everyone held to the truth and Gods word on Sabbath, then everything would already be closed on Saturday and wouldn't be an issue but that unfortunately is not the case....It is however what he expects of us. WHEN YOU FEEL ALONE ON THIS PATH Remember Daniel and praying in the window contrary to public acceptance and Shadrack, Meshack and Abendego. What was their reward for holding true?? ;):)
REMEMBER....
"God doesn't call the Qualified ....HE qualifies the CALLED" Author unknown XOXOXOX
Amen! It's just another way we would be set up apart from the world and its ways. It's also a blessing and gift for us to rest from everything pulling our attention away from Yahweh.
