There are many groups that are furious about the subject matter I address. When I write about the Sabbath, there are sometimes comments of "there goes that Sabbath again". As if this Law put on the heart should be a burden. There goes that Law put on the heart again....Eh what have I got with this truth detective...I have to read such things here....
Such a delinquent becomes depressed because of the Sabbath. But there are more differing topics and people would like to set me up to write not what I, the AUTHOR, want to write but what particular groups would like to write. If that were the case, the blog should be: Catholic, Marian, Messianic, Judaic, ecumenical, charismatic, pro-worldly, etc. etc.
It is the disgruntled who need to change their readership, not me writing...
However, they find the blog attractive enough to stay here, despite making it a buffet...
Well...
(12) Then the LORD said to Moses: (13) Say also to the children of Israel, It is necessary that you observe my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout all your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you. (14) So observe the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Whoever violates it will be put to death. For everyone who does work on that day will be cut off from among his people. (15) For six days one will do work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a saint for the LORD. Whoever does work on the Sabbath day will suffer death. (16) Therefore the children of Israel will observe the Sabbath, keeping the Sabbath throughout all generations as an eternal law. (17) It is an everlasting sign between me and the children of Israel, for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he ceased and rested. Exodus
- The Sabbath sanctifies.
How can Shabbat sanctify? Just as before Passover, according to ancient Israelite tradition, one searches the home for foods made with leaven which symbolizes sin, so on Shabbat we make sure not to break the discipline of rest. I called it interestingly didn't I? Such an oxymoron "discipline of rest". :-).
It's a fact, people often don't even know how to rest. But it is not only rest, it is also faithfulness to God. I believe that many Christians rest, celebrate on Sunday out of ignorance. For example, in China. Bad teachings go top-down by pastors, not bottom-up from the man himself, who needs to personally know the Word of God uncontaminated. Here it should be top-down, but straight from heaven.
2. A day of rest holy to the Lord.
Isn't it strange that the apostate church of the Roman empire and the shit-talking emperor of the same Roman empire that persecuted Christians forbade the celebration of Saturday in the year 321, and declared the venerable day of the sun (Sunday) a holiday? Well nominal Christians celebrate it. Christians rest on the same day as the whole world. Therefore, there is no separation.
3. SThe people of Israel will observe the Sabbath, keeping the Sabbath through all generations as an eternal law.
In his letter to the Romans, the apostle Paul writes that we are grafted by faith into the olive tree - which is Israel; we are grafted into the promises and covenant made with Abraham and have the same rights and responsibilities.
4. Eternal sign.
17) It is an everlasting sign between me and the children of Israel, for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he ceased and rested.
We know well, if only from Paul's letters, that we are the promised seed of Abraham as numerous as the stars in the sky. Therefore, Christians who do not celebrate the Sabbath do not accept this sign between God and His children. This is rebellion. It is one thing not to know, but it is another to know about it and rebel.
Either we are implanted in Israel or we are not. Either the Lord Jesus founded a new religion or He did not.
The whole world celebrates Sunday, which is a symbol of submission to the angel of this world. Look how different our cognitions all are. Just today, I posted about a Christian woman who defended Santa Claus as a man. She truly believes in the rightness of this holiday. Then we have the Adventists, who admittedly celebrate the Sabbath but are divided on ecumenism. Thus I have demonstrated that we all differ in our knowledge and degree of sanctification.
How important was the giving of the Sabbath before Moses received the Decalogue:
"He is an everlasting sign between me and the children of Israel, for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he ceased and rested. (18) And when he had finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, the LORD gave him two tablets of testimony, tablets of stone written with the finger of God."
Written not by Moses as some manipulate or subconsciously ape the lie that the Decalogue is the Law of Moses. God personally with his finger wrote.
First there was instruction about the Sabbath and then Moses received the tablets from God.
Importantly, God gave the Decalogue at a critical time for the people and the whole situation. At that time Israel had committed the sin of idolatry. Did God not know this.... It is known that he did.
As this passage explains, the Sabbath was meant to commemorate God as our personal Creator, King i Judge (Genesis 1: 31-2: 2). It is a "sign" that God has set us apart as His own precious people. In Moses' later presentation of the Torah, we are commanded to remember the Sabbath day in light of God's redemption: "Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day " (Deuteronomy 5:15). In other words, the Sabbath is a weekly reminder that the Lord is both our Creator and our Redeemer ...
Is this no longer true of the new Israel? Do we not belong to the people of God? False Protestantism is deceiving you.
The idea that Sunday replaces the Sabbath in God's calendar is therefore simply false, and there is no evidence that Jesus called His followers to rest on any day of the week other than the Sabbath. There is no such instruction anywhere! Nowhere in the Bible.
It was unthinkable that Jesus, obedient to the Father, would forsake the Father's Law. Now it is taught that Jesus had to keep the Sabbath so that others would not have to. Then where is the imitation of Jesus? In what? In being nice? As I write this clever nominalists say "then get circumcised". If so, then pray to the image of Jesus..... After all, if the 4th commandment is absent then so is the second. If you observe the 2nd then circumcise yourself. But the very fact of such a mischievous phrase indicates a lack of birth.
Yeshua, Jesus, Yehoshua did not abrogate the Fourth Commandment in light of the Cross, just as He did not abrogate the commandment against adultery (Matt. 5:28) or murder (1 John 3:15).
Troublesome Lord's Day.
I also wrote about this but I think in a comment. Of course, it is important to always read Scripture in context, as this often eliminates potential sources of misinterpretation. For example, those who try to justify the change from Saturday to Sunday as the "Lord's Day" have argued that Paul's instruction to offer donations on the "first day of the week" (i.e., Not on the Sabbath) reveals that the earliest Christians honored the Lord's day on Sunday (1 Cor. 16: 2). However, given the apostle Paul's Jewish/Hebrew background, it is more likely to understand his request in terms of avoiding the prohibition against handling money on the Sabbath day (which was traditionally considered a blasphemous practice). Furthermore, while it is true that Yeshua was raised from the dead on Saturday evening (i.e., before sunrise on the first day of the week), it is clear that God's act of raising His Son did not take place until after the Sabbath day had ended. ... God did not even perform the resurrection work on the Sabbath day! The Sabbath had to end.
Anyway, it is interesting that some people count the resurrection and from Friday it comes out 3 days.... Shock.
Pentecost.
Perhaps the most popular argument that Sunday should replace the Sabbath because "the Lord's Day" comes from the argument that the Holy Spirit was given on "Pentecost Sunday." However, this raises the question of whether Pentecost (Shavuot) actually took place on Sunday and not on another day of the week. Recall that the Torah commanded that 49 days be counted from the "day after Shabbat" of Passover until Shavuot, or "Pentecost."
The Sabbath will be celebrated during the millennium.
The Sabbath will be revered in the Millennial Kingdom to come, and even in the heavenly state. Speaking of the coming Kingdom of God that will be established on earth, the prophet Isaiah prophesied:
|And it shall come to pass, that from new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD." Isaiah
That is, before there was a Sabbath, now there isn't and later there will be?
Since this vision concerns the prophetic future, it is clear that the Sabbath day will be observed. Similarly, in the heavenly Jerusalem, the Tree of Life is said to bear "twelve kinds of fruit, bringing forth its fruit every month" (Rev. 22: 2). Notice that the "twelve fruits" (καρποὺς δώδεκα) of the Tree of Life are directly related to the "twelve months" of the Jewish year (κατὰ μῆνα ἕκαστον ἀποδιδοῦν τὸν καρπὸν αὐτοῦ: "each month bearing its fruit"). In other words, the sequence of festivals (moedim) - including the Sabbath - was always intended to teach us a great revelation about God. This is why God created the sun and moon for signs and "appointed times" (Genesis 1:14). As it is also written: "He created the moon to mark appointed times the sun knows its time to set". (Psalm 104: 19). Note also that in most of the text of Revelation 22:14 we read: "Blessed are those who keep His commandments (Μακάριοι οἱ ποιοῦντες τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ), that they may have access to the Tree of Life ..." Faith and obedience are two sides of the same coin.
God's people remain on the Sabbath. The Sabbath is a delight-not a burden; a time to celebrate personal rest in our Messiah Jesus (Isa. 58:13; Heb. 4: 9). Indeed, all who worship on the Sabbath-including the "foreigners" of Israel-reveal that they worship the Lord and believe in His promises:
|(1) Thus says the LORD: Watch for judgment and do justice, for the coming of my salvation and the manifestation of my righteousness are near. (2) Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who keeps it, who observes the Sabbathwho guards his hand so that it does no evil. (3) Therefore let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say: the LORD has surely separated me from his people. Nor let the eunuch say: Behold, I am a dry tree. (4) For thus says the LORD concerning the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths and choose what pleases me and keep my covenant: (5) I will give them a place in my house and within my walls and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will not be put to death. (6) And the foreigners who have joined themselves to the LORD to serve him, to love the name of the LORD and to be his servants, all those who observe the Sabbath so as not to desecrate it, and who keep my covenant; (7) These I will bring to my holy mountain and delight them in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar, for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations. (8) Thus says the LORD GOD, who gathers the scattered from Israel: Still others I will gather to him and to his congregants.""(Is. 56: 1-8). )
Paul said that he does not teach "against the law" (e.g., Gal. 3: 16-18),
Just as God rested on the seventh day as Creator, Jesus completed His work on the Sabbath. He rose from the dead just after the Sabbath. He rested on the Sabbath. So the Sabbath was the same as the seventh day after the creation of the world.
The more I read the Bible, the more I see how important God's Law is.
I mention from time to time that the first 4 commandments are about loving God and the rest about loving your neighbor. Unfortunately, Christians are being brutally lied to by the Khazarian Roman church and its pastors. They prefer love for the church over love for God.
We are to distinguish ourselves from this world, and to rest on Sunday is to subscribe to this world. Who has it harder? The Sabbath celebrant who must confess to his family or employer, or the Sunday Christian?
So ask not what God can do for you, but what you can do for God.

Pastor Bartosik has a big part in bringing this world into this world. He invites others for beer, though to be fair he did intervene against the LGBt marches in Gdansk.
But you know, syncretism has to be...

In the subject of Shabbat - Holy Saturday, the seventh day, there is only one thing I want to shout out and share with my neighbors, with you dear fellow Poles. By the way, it is the seventh day on every American calendar where the melting pot of mixed nations has never changed it for over four centuries.
Absolutely cannot afford any of you brothers and sisters beloved not to rest on this day!
You will have trials and passages and all the old things, but on that day you will feel on the right, on the way, in full communion with the Spirit of God, and by some invisible means as in a hiding place on a Saturday morning from all the evil of the world. A secret hiding-place with God behind the stove. This day is special for your sake.
I don't know how better to describe it. Additionally, it will be a blessing for you that was taken from you and that you did not know existed.
For example, I was always paid to work on Saturday. It was a day of digging, work and chores.
Sunday, on the other hand, I disliked probably because of the proximity to Monday and seeing demanding heartless teachers clearing their throats.
Even the doctrine of the Catholic Church, which recognizes (somewhat perversely) Saturday evening mass as Sunday mass, should give courage. For the reason that the early Christians gathered in secret in the catacombs to celebrate this Holy Day. They gathered for Mass on Saturday evening.
And nearly three hundred years in hiding from the persecuting Empire of Rome. They risked their lives gathering on that day.
Give God a chance. Stop working at work and at home if you can.
It is known that someone has to work on this day such as soldiers, law enforcement, airports, railroads, etc.
so others don't have to. Also, try not to travel on this day.
For example, if I have to work on this day, I want to save even half of it and, of course, go to church.
If someone were to accuse me that the Jews who celebrate Saturday were not saved by God, I would insist that
They died falling asleep and not suffering, especially when they asked Allah in that last minute.
How is it that Jesus healed on the Sabbath? In the light of those who observed the Sabbath , he was a sinner . Was Jesus the one who broke the Sabbath? How so?
The Pharisees made the Sabbath a torment. It was a mass of regulations causing the Sabbath to be a burden and not a rest. This is why the Lord Jesus wanted to show for our time by translating that if someone's German Shepherd gets sick, won't he go to the vet?
In general, Jesus' conversations with the Pharisees are very telling, as they were mostly twisting the Scriptures. In fact, just like today. Every conversation with the Pharisees was a provocation.
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like a farmer who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 He made an agreement with the laborers for a denarius a day, and sent them into the vineyard. 3 When he went out about three o'clock, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 and he said to them: "Go ye also into my vineyard, and what is right I will give you." 5 They went. Having gone out again about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise. 6 When he went out about the eleventh hour, he met the others standing and asked them: "Why do you stand here all day idle?" 7 They answered him, "Because no one has called on us." He said to them, "Go also to the vineyard!" 8 And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward: "Call the laborers and pay them their due, starting from the last to the first!" 9 The hired men came at about the eleventh hour, and they received a denarius each. 10 So when the first ones came, they thought they would get more; but they also received a denarius. 11 Taking it, they murmured against the host, 12 saying: "These last ones have labored one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the heat." 13 To this he replied to one of them: "Friend, I do you no harm; did you not make an agreement with me about a denarius? 14 Take what is yours and go away! I also want to give to the latter as much as to thee. 15 Am I not permitted to do with mine own what I will? Do you look on it with an evil eye, that I am good?" 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last."
It could not be that the first workers AGREE with their employer (God), that is, with God's Law. With the last ones no one makes an agreement, so no agreement applies to them, yet they get paid. How would you respond to this? 🙂 .
It is not that on the Sabbath we have the challenge of the prohibitions all the time and something happens that disturbs the peace of the day and provokes us to break the rest. It so happens that on the Sabbath we can also help someone and it is most appropriate and adds to that day's glory, peace, joy, fullness of experience, etc.
The very period that Jesus came into the world was special.
Every day of His presence: " rejoice that ye have me while I am with you," and follow me.
Jesus made it clear that the very idea of this day was simple: this day for you was created for your good, for the regeneration of your strength.
The Pharisee's scoring of Jesus from the rigor of the Sabbath offends the very idea of that day.
In a colloquial way I will say Jesus and you will not sweat from toil and in the sweat of your brow, and you will not sweat your guts out as you help a donkey out of a hole, you will lead a blind man through the street on this day. It will happen very rarely if you stay at home, in the garden, you will visit family, friends, a lonely elderly sick person in need in order to accompany him, be with him, praise the Good God.
The detective is right, it is not rigor under the whip or the sword of punishment. Jesus gave an example of how to celebrate the Sabbath, and what is allowed on the Sabbath. He rather knew more about this day and how to celebrate it than the Pharisees.
Otherwise you will not lose the blessing of this day if you put dishes in the dishwasher or clothes in the washing machine. In case on Friday you were unusually 😉 washed out after work and there was no time for it.
Christ's words-I am the Sabbath-keeper, and if a sheep falls into a well you will not pull it out. He knew perfectly well that in Satan's system it would be difficult to fulfill this commandment. And as for adultery, he raised the bar to the max, because keeping this commandment for a willing person is easy. Thanks to the wisdom he received from his Father, in this way he makes the way to salvation easier for us, without putting an unbearable burden on us, as religions do.
And the gathering of manna while wandering in the desert was not for the house or for the family? Why then was there no manna to gather on the Sabbath, but there was double the amount the day before?
This is because God provided a double portion the day before and man, apart from collecting it, did not have to put in any more work. It is different, however, with helping others - such as helping in an emergency (changing a wheel on the road).
