SABBATH CHANGED TO “SUN-DAY”
HELIOALATRY
The
Sabbath was changed to a mandatory “Sun day” worship to accommodate
all the “sun god” worshipers when the Catholic Roman State Church
was formed in 321 AD by Constantine and his "Bishops".. The old
Babylonia fertility god Ishtar's birthday feast was blended in
with “Christ’s resurrection” to produce “Easter”, fertilility eggs
and easter bunnies. (English gets "esterogen“ from this goddess of
fertility).
"Christ-mass",
the birth of "IESUS" was blended into the winter
solstice sun-god Sus's (also Seus or Zeus) big annual
Saturnalia feast on December 25. Any good history book or
encyclopedia will show you that clear connection. YAHUWshua's
"birth” was stolen from the Scriptural Feast of Trumphets (7/1
or Roman calender 9/21) and "created" on Dec 25 around 335
AD. Later, Archbishop Jerome et al changed the Saviors name to
the Latin creation "IESUS". Constantine was certainly no believer in
YAHUWshua! He was not baptized until his death bed. He strangled his wife and
drowned his son. By his own admission, he worshiped "sol invictus"
(the invincible sun). All his coins depict him worshipping the
sun-gods. The huge arch he built to honor himself two years after
"his conversion" in 313 AD, still standing in Rome today, is
full of pagan deities without one Christian depiction! He
jailed, tortured or killed any believer caught worshiping on the
Sabbath, as the true EkklesiYA
("Covenant-Family") has always done. "But did not Christ rise
from the dead on Sunday, the new "Lord's day" you might ask?
Christ
died on the Crucifixion tree at 3 pm on the 3rd day (T_esday). He
was then in the belly of the earth, preaching to the OT saints, who
were waiting for the promise, three days and three nights. That
brings you to the beginning of Sabbath. Thus, Christ was
resurrected in the first seconds of the regular
Sabbath! The Sabbath has been set apart as holy since creation. It
will always be God's set apart day for remembering and
worshiping.
The
Greek text of all four gospels says YAHUW
ChristUW arose just before or on the early
morning of YAHUWAH's Sabbath Day, today's pagan "S_turn-day",
not on First Day (“S_n Day”). (The Greek reads “mia Sabbaton” in
each gospel’s resurrection passage! Your Bible translators still
follow Catholic tradition rather than proper translation! Ask any
Greek student. This means "on the next or other (regular) Sabbath"!
Order "The Gospel of YAHUWcanon" for a full exegesis.) In
Constantine’s time, Sun
day was called “Ie- Zeus Day” by many. Sabbath was changed to Sunday
in 321 AD by Constantine and the new Catholic Church to honor
“Saturnalia”, the Babylonian sun-god Saturn who birthed Sus. Thus
our pagan name “Saturday.”
Some
may say, "But we don't have to follow the Old Testament any more.
Christ made us free from all those old laws!" This is very common
religious error in America today. It allows us to do what ever
we want to do, ask forgiveness for any little "slip ups" (it
was just a momentary weakness right?), go to church, give a little
bit and "don't get caught" and "still be good christians" and "go to
heaven when we die". This actually is Satan's greatest message. His
trump card is a "look alike counterfeit" of the real thing!
YAHUWAH-the-Savior prophesized "weeds" would be planted amongst the
true wheat, impossible for most to tell apart (Mt 13:24ff). Yet you
will easily know them up close and personal by their fruits,
especially how they love one another.
Sabbath
is the fourth most important of the 10 Commandments. "Unlawfulness"
is ignoring or rebelling against God's 13 Summa Commandments.
"Repent" in the NT (as in Acts 2:38) means to turn from breaking
YAHUWAH's 13 Summa Laws. Shemoth/Exodus 20:8-11
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. You shall labor six
days, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath
to YAHUWAH your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor
your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female
servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your
gates; for in six days YAHUWAH made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day;
therefore YAHUWAH blessed the Sabbath day, and made it
holy.
Do
good on the Sabbath! It is not a legalism.-MatithYAHUW/Mt
12:8 "For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath He
departed there, and went into their synagogue. And behold there was
a man with a withered hand. They asked him, 'Is it lawful to heal on
the Sabbath day?' that they might accuse him. He said to them, 'What
man is there among you, who has one sheep, and if this one falls
into a pit on the Sabbath day, won't he grab on to it, and lift it
out? Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it
is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day."
Don't
travel a long way on Sabbath. MatithYAHUW 24:20 "Pray
that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath,
YAHUWshua
worshiped with other believer's every Sabbath. MarkUW
1:21 "They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath
day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
The
Sabbath is to be a blessing, not a burden. MarkUW
2:27 He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man
for the Sabbath.
The
Sabbath is the 7th day, beginning at sunrise and ending at
dark. It does not begin on "6th day evening" as many teach
from their customs. MarkUW 15:42 "When evening had now come,
because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the
Sabbath". Starting days the evening before is very confusing.
YAHUWAH is not a God of confusion. "A day" in Scripture means only
the daylight hours, not the night.
The
Sabbath is an everlasting Covenant-sign of those who follow
YAHUWAH. Shemoth/Exodus 31:16 Therefore the children
of YAHsharal shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath
throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
Wayiqra/Leviticus 24:8 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in
order before YAHUWAH continually. It is on the behalf of the
children of YAHsharal an everlasting covenant.
YAHUWAH's 1st
day ("S_nday") is not "the Lord’s day”. Neither does 1st day
honor the resurrection of Christ. Christ was not resurrected on
"S_nday". YAHUWcanon/John 20:1 "Then on
the <de> regular <mia>
Sabbath <sabbaton> comes <erchomai> MariYA
<Maria> Magdalene <Magdalene> early <proi>, when
it was <on> yet <eti> dark <skotia>, unto
<eis> the sepulchre <mnemeion>, and <kai> sees
<blepo> the stone <lithos> taken away <airo> from
<ek> the sepulchre <mnemeion>". All four Gospels state
MariYA found the tomb empty early on the Sabbath "while it was still
dark". The entire "Easter Sunday resurrection" is a sun-god
myth from Constantine's Circe. The Scripture states plainly that on
"mia Sabbaton", the tomb was empty!
The
common confusion of MatithYAHUW/Matthew 28:1 is clearly
resolved when you simply read the Greek original without a "Church
myth bias". "Then <de> at the end <opse> of the
(Passover High) sabbath <sabbaton>, as it began to dawn
<epiphosko> toward <eis> the regular
<mia> Sabbath <sabbaton>, came <erchomai>
MariYA <Maria> Magdalene <Magdalene> and <kai> the
other <allos> MariYA <Maria> to see <theoreo> the
sepulchre <taphos>. Passover was one of the 8 "High
Sabbaths" of the year, always beginning on the 4th day
(W_dnesday, when the earth was created, BareshYAHth/Gn 1) and was
observed for three days until the next regular Sabbath.
"First
day" is YAHUWAH’s first day of the week, not "S_nday" and
99.9% of all scholars agree, it is not Sabbath! Sabbath means
"seventh" in AbrAHUW and IbrAHUW (Hebrew). After 1st
day comes YAHUWAH’s 2nd day, YAHUWAH's third day,
etc until we get to YAHUWAH’s “Sabbath” (7th) day where
He commands us to rest from our labors and to renew ourselves in
Him, keeping it holy (literally "set apart")!
We
are commanded to assemble ourselves together for worship on
Sabbath. Wayiqra/Lev 23:3 refers to the Sabbath as a "sacred
assembly"; "Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh
day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a sacred assembly; you shall
do no manner of work". It is a Sabbath to YAHUWAH in all your
dwellings..". Our Lord regularly went to Sabbath worship. So did all
the Apostles.
In
worship, we have freedom. Every day is for worship. However
there is a special blessing in keeping the Sabbath, remembering
YAHUWAH especially on that day, resting from our normal
labors and studying His Holy Word. Health, wellness,
prosperity, peace, joy and love will begin to flow in superabundance
back to your family if you will begin "honoring" the Sabbath.
Ignoring the Sabbath is a sign of "other nations" (goyim), the
"lawless ones" and unbeliever's.
A
place of "sacred assembly" is called a QAHal (or "EkklesiYA" in
Greek). It is a local Covenant-Family of YAHUWAHns. It is led
by three attested Elders and ranges from 2-120 attested
believer's. It is a place "where His Name is caused to dwell", just
like the OT temple except this time His Name dwells within our
hearts "written upon tablets of flesh".
Every
QAHal is also a living part of our
God's Covenant-Nation YAHsharal and co-operates in love under
the Holy Scripture and Holy Spirit. Every QAHal also has a portal of
YAHUWAH's Storehouse which receives our worship in Tithes and
Offerings which financially runs our nation YAHsharal. There is
no "lone-ranger" YAHUWAHn. Every true believer has been immersed and
filled with the Holy Spirit of YAHUWAH our God. That Spirit always
attracts us to one another.
One
day, after the "Day of the Lord" and all the callous
ungrateful and the intentionally rebellious are destroyed in
the spiritual garbage pit called "Gehenna", the New Earth will all
honor YAHUWAH's Sabbath. "For as the new heavens and the new
earth that I make stand before me... it shall come to pass that from
...Sabbath to Sabbath all flesh shall come to worship before Me
declares YAHUWAH" (YeshaYAHUW/Isaiah 66:23).
