Sabbath-the Eternal Sign

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 Babylonian fertility god Ishtar's birthday feast was blended in with “Christ’s resurrection” to produce “Easter”, fertility 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 calendar 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 YAHUW! He was not baptized until his death bed. He strangled his wife and drowned his son. By his own admission, he worshipped "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 worshipping 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 worshipping.

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 prophesied "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 Royal Commandments. "Repent" in the NT (as in Acts 2:38) means to turn from breaking YAHUWAH's 13 Royal 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,

YAHUW worshipped 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 YAsarel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. UwYAqara/Leviticus 24:8 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before YAHUWAH continually. It is on the behalf of the children of YAsarel an everlasting covenant.

YAHUWAH's 1^st 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 2^nd day, YAHUWAH's third day, etc until we get to YAHUWAH’s “Sabbath” (7^th) 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. UwYAqara/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 YAHUWans. 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 YAsarel 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 YAsarel. There is no "lone-ranger" YAHUWan. 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 "Ge Hennom", 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" (YashaYAHUW/Isaiah 66:23).
