Introduction
In this article I will prove through research that the Sabbath is relevant in today’s world.
The word Sabbath means day of rest from the Hebrew word
shabath – (cease to do).
The Sabbath is the Jewish day of Worship which takes place from sunset
Friday evening until the sunset on Saturday, following the scripture’s clear instruction in Genesis 2:2&3 “And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, sanctified it: (made holy) because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. God rested from his work was an example setting the stage for mankind to follow as Jesus said that the ‘Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath’ (Mark 2:27).
‘On Sabbath Jews attend worship services in their local synagogue and have special meals and family gatherings at home. Orthodox Jews do not work, travel, or carry money on the Sabbath’.
(World books Encyclopaedia) Within the Church of God seventh day we follow some of the orthodox rituals that are carried out on the Sabbath i.e. not working, and attending church services.
The Sabbath is also very special because in Exodus 20:8 in the Ten Commandments we are told to ‘Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy,’
this sacred day is set aside to worship the Lord God our creator free from everyday burdens of work, college, school, and university to focus on God and give him thanks for taking us this far in our life. In Deuteronomy 5:15 the children of Israel were reminded that on the Sabbath they should give God thanks for their freedom from slavery in comparison we should reflect our thanks to God for not allowing our eyes to be blinded by the lies which were introduced by Constantine. “Pope Constantine the Great made a law for the whole empire (A.D. 321) that Sunday should be kept as a day of rest in all cities and towns; but he allowed the country people to follow their work.”
(The Bible Home Instructor)
By A.D. 336 the Catholic Church ahd also changed from Sabbath to Sunday as the council of Laodicea changed it. The blessing that Sabbath has can never be given to Sunday, as it is not the ordained sacred day of worship God set apart.
Conclusion
The Sabbath in my opinion is relevant today because God has set it apart and said that we should be in his sanctuary giving him praise, God’s word’s never change ‘So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return to me void.’(Isaiah 55:11a) If the people in the world who worship on other days than the Sabbath want to find out if they are doing the right thing they can research the subject as I have done and will undoubtedly come to the same conclusion I have. There is so much biblical evidence and historical facts, which match up, and after thorough research there should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that the Sabbath is still relevant to us today.
‘Heaven and Earth shall pass away but my word shall not pass away’.
(Matthew 24:35)
