Sabbath (Jewish) Sunday Christian
Question: What does Sabbath actually mean or refer to in the Bible?
It is the Jewish name for our Saturday. It is their “day of rest”.
The Christian Church copied it into Sunday, which IMO is invalid, and does not comply with Scripture, but does give a day for observance and Church attendance, and control by the Church leaders.
The Jews also have “Festival Sabbaths”, which has given much confusion to Christians, for example; the Lord Rose from death on the “third day”, because He was crucified on a “Festival Sabbath”; whereas Christians commemorate the Risen Lord on a Sunday!
As I heard a Christian say to an atheist; “we live in a perpetual Sabbath”; which is the fact for “born again” Christians!
The following is a section taken from the Linked study below.
Revelation Chp. 1 V.10 I came to be in the SPIRIT (a)in the Day of the Lord, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a (b)trumpet.
(a) "Day of the Lord", a large proportion of Christians on Earth believe that this expression means Sunday. This particular Pagan day/festival was set up by Constantine, when he and his mother were forming the "Holy Roman Empire". They changed worship from the Hebrew/ Christian "Sabbath", to the Pagan "day of the Sun", i.e. "Sunday". The Roman Church has continued ever since, followed by all the others over time. The word Sun in Hebrew can mean lord, which can mean Baal! In Syrian, Adonis, (from Adonia) which can mean lord! As Charles Welch observed, "both are pagan, masking paganism by traditional sanctity".
The various Churches, even if they study and teach Revelation (most do not), also teach that meaning. To do so negates the Truth, the thrust and the meaning of Revelation, which in itself negates Christ, the Jews and the Almighty.
Regarding “The Day of the Lord"(Jehovah), as this expression is a specific turning point (juncture) in the history of the world, and is when Almighty God takes over the Rule of all the world from Jerusalem, (see: Jerusalem; Bible Dispensations; Jacob's Trouble & World Population Reduction); and all Papers under the Heading “Prophecy” in Subjects Grouped; (SUBJECTS GROUPED)!
