Ron’s Sabbath
Subject: RE: Sabbath

From: "Ron Henderson" <ronhende@northrock.bm>
To: "Mahlon" <bible@tk7.net>Dear Mahlon,
Greetings. I am not so sure how this mail got me, but I think it is worth the answering. I refer to your comments that the Sabbath was not introduced at Eden. I believe you have it a little mixed up. Let's review the matter more closely.After God created the world in six days He rested on the seventh. I believe that this was the first "week" that God had introduced into the world. Prior to that we did not have a week since there was no earth and mankind was not there to know it. Incidentally, the Encyclopædia Britannica in its 10th edition brings this out as it sought to explain the origin of the week. Also, study all the languages on earth and you will find that many have the Seventh day as Sabado or some similar wording, or they say just 'Seventh day' when it comes to the end of the week on Saturday. Gen. 2.
Now when God finished creating in six days he rested on the seventh and "blessed" it and "sanctified" it. The day that God had blessed was not just any seventh day, but specifically the seventh day that followed the six days of creation. When something is blessed and sanctified it is put aside for holy use. To show you which day is in question here we turn to Ex. 20 and find that it is the day that the Jews keep even today as their Sabbath. If we have problems with that then we turn to the Gospels and find that the Sabbath is the day that Jesus himself kept as the Sabbath, which today is the Saturday.
But notice that when God blessed the seventh day (Gen. 2) He gave as a reason the fact that he had created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. Now when He gave the law to His nation at Sinai in Ex. 20 He gave the same reason, that is, that he had created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. If from Eden to Sinai the days were mixed up and none knew which was the seventh that was blessed, then Ex. 20. resolved that. If from Sinai to Jesus the days were mixed up and none knew which day was blessed and sanctified, then Jesus cleared that up when He himself rested on the Sabbath, which we know is the Saturday. And also, Jesus Himself demonstrated that the Sabbath, the Seventh day, was the day which God made and blessed after creating in six days, when He said in Mark 2:27 that the Sabbath (Saturday) was made for man and not man for the Sabbath, therefore, the son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath (Saturday), the same day which He said was made for man. So in the beginning God made the Sabbath and gave it to man.
Isn't if strange that God would rest on the Seventh day, bless it, sanctify it, and wait for 2000 years before giving it to man to keep! Note also, when God blessed the Sabbath the word used is berek. This word is the same used for covenant. The Sabbath was at the base of the covenant between God, the Creator, and man the creator. The Sabbath was a memorial of this wonderful act. Note also, that it was not just the Sabbath that was given at Sinai, but the ten commandments. Now today we find that every nation on earth, and yesteryear we find that every ancient nation kept all or part of the ten commandments. If nine of these commandments are useful and valid today, then why not the 4th?
Also, history tells us that the early Christians and the disciples kept the Sabbath; we even learn in histroy when the change from Saturday to Sunday came about; if God intended that the Sabbath be not that important for us today, then whey do we not have any evidence biblically that the day was changed, and that the disciples and early Christians kept the Sunday? Finally, I believe that we will keep the Sabbath in the New Earth as Isaiah 65 tells us. If that is the case, then why should we stop now only to resume in the new earth. In addition, Abraham also must have kept the Sabbath, for we find that God says of him, (Gen 26:5 KJV) Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. This tells us that God had given laws commandments, and statutes for His ancient people to observe. History (archaeology) shows us that the ancients had all the laws that the Jews had. Where did they get these laws from? Obviously God had directed them to these just and humane laws. I guess that this is about all for now. God bless.

Thank you kindly for your message. I have heard what you presented to me many times. As a matter of fact I myself used to believe along these lines. To save time, I want to forward a message to you that I typed out this evening to someone else regarding the Sabbath. I hope this will help to explain what I personally believe on this subject. Feel free to keep in touch, however I do not want to argue. If I may say so, I truly believe Saturday keepers are thinking on a wrong premise.(copy of message)...
Hi again Bob,
You say it is a mute point that the "seventh day of the week" is not found in the Bible. If this biblical fact is mute and not important, then why do you Saturday keepers insist that the Sabbath is indeed the "seventh day of the week"? You are assuming something that is not biblically accurate. What God blessed and sanctified on the seventh day of creation was not a day of the week (according to our calendar). It was something much bigger than a particular day of the week of which the Sabbath as given to Moses only represented. The Sabbath represented God's continual "Rest", which was made on the seventh day of creation. It is very strange why you Saturday keepers never mention this "Rest" of God. The Bible repeatedly talks about it. You are misunderstanding what the Sabbath was all about. It was based on a system of numbering the days. Six days Israel was commanded to "work", which represented God also "working". The following day (seventh) Israel was commanded to "rest", which represented God also "resting". You quoted the scripture (Exod 20:11), and it amazes me why can't you read and believe exactly what it is explaining? The Sabbath day was never mentioned in Genesis, simply because this was not when the Sabbath day was made.The biblical fact is God only blessed the Sabbath when it was given to Moses and not before. You asked when is the Sabbath if it is not Saturday. The Sabbath is the day following six days of doing our own work and pleasure of every weekly cycle. The seventh day is God's time in which we are to assemble to build Christ's Church, and we are not to seek our own pleasure on God's time. The New Testament example for the early believers was to assemble on the first day of the week (Sunday). I do not want to argue with you simply because you already have your mind made up. It is very true that the Sabbath mentioned in the New Testament at Christ's death was the day before the first day of the week (Sunday). However according to the law of Moses this particular Sabbath would have been the "first day of unleavened bread", and all the gospels recorded this Sabbath as a singular Sabbath. Please read my "Seventh day" booklet very carefully, and also the "email discussions" regarding the Sabbath on my web site. Thank you kindly for your messages, and may God bless you.

To: "Mahlon" <bible@tk7.net>Hi,
Thanks for the mail. I am so sorry, but you really do have it all mixed up. Jesus admits that Saturday is the seventh day; the NT in no way states that Sunday was the day for the disciples to worship on; history would have shown this. Also Jesus speaking of the destruction of the temple in AD 70 asks his disciples (Christians), to pray that their flight be not on the Sabbath!Mahlon, pray and ask the Lord to show you whether you are wrong, via Bible study, and I will do the same. God bless.

I am so sorry that you have it all mixed up (as you accused me). It appears that we are agreeing to disagree, which is fine. Just a note regarding Matt. 24:20 in which Christ states about fleeing on the Sabbath day. Please read my explanation of this in my booklet "The Seventh Day" on pages 27 and 28. Also go to pages 33 and 34 in my booklet, which explains in Acts 20:7 why Paul wanted to assemble with the believers on the "first day of the week". It appears that you are not aware of the significance of the "first day of the week" in the New Testament. This phrase is found eight times, and the early Church did indeed assemble on that day. I want to warn you in Christian love to not reject plain scripture. Christ was born under the old covenant and without a doubt was keeping the Sabbath, but not according to the legalism of the "Jewish Sabbath". As you are aware Christ was repeatedly accused of "Sabbath breaking". The Jews of Christ's day were not who claimed they were, and this deception continues with us today. I am sorry to say you are taken in by this deception (as also are the vast majority of our churches). I am also sorry to say you are taken in by the deception of what is known as the "Jewish Sabbath". You really do need to find out who the "Jews" really are, and their agenda of deception they have toward the true Israel of God. You owe it to yourself to read very carefully my booklets "Lost Israel and the Gentiles", "How did Jesus Christ Die?", and "The New Jerusalem". They are only forty page booklets, and do not take that long to read and study. However they are very condensed, and therefore please take note of every statement. God bless you, and I will be praying for you that you begin to see the error of your way.http://www.tk7.net/users/bibletruths

To: "Mahlon" <bible@tk7.net>Dear Mahlon,
Greetings. If you go through prayerfully all the eight "first" day texts that you say refer to the transplantation of the Sabbath to Sunday, then you will find that not one indicates a change from Sabbath to Sunday, even history will testify to this, for history shows us when this change actually came about. All the other "changes" that Paul spoke about, such as circumcision, etc., we can find in the Bible and history. Concerning the Sabbath we find that the disciples kept the Sabbath way into the second, third, and fourth centuries before a change was actually forced by the Roman authorities. Are you afraid to admit to this historical fact?I would admonish you to check it out. Notice also, that Paul actually kept the Sabbath with the new Christian converts. There is not any indication that they ceased from Sabbath worship to Sunday worship, which was not a Christian practise in the early church after the death of the last apostle, John until as I said much later, and it had to be enforced by civil law. God bless.

References: 1Dear Ron,
The historical points that you make are well taken. However according to the early Church Fathers (Ante-Nicene Fathers), Christians from the apostles on were observing Sunday. I cover this in my "Seventh Day" booklet, which I suspect you have not yet read (hopefully you will). You might want to check your history again, and I want to ask you (as you also asked me) if you are afraid to admit to this bit of history? I choose to believe the Church Fathers, and according to this history it was not a matter of changing the Sabbath to Sunday (as you assume). The early Christians were already observing Sunday before the Catholic church decided to recognize (or tried to enforce) Sunday as the only day of worship. It is very possible that some Christians were observing Saturday and some were observing Sunday (as is true even today). Another bit of history (which you and I should not be afraid of) is that the Jews, several hundred years after the death of Christ, came up with a "Jewish calendar" to support their Saturday Sabbath and also their festivals. This calendar remains with us today, and it is a shame that well-meaning Christians (such as yourself) have accepted this as "God's calendar".It is very true that Paul attended the Sabbath assemblies of the Israelites of his day, and from Paul's point of view it is very easy to understand why. I also cover this in my booklet. You asserted that Paul actually kept the Sabbath with other Christian converts. You are assuming something that the book of Acts does not support, simply because the persecutions were done to believers because they no longer recognized the old covenant as valid worship. This of course included the old covenant Sabbath. However it could be very possible that some Israelite converts were still involved with old covenant worship. The correct day for Sabbath observance was not the issue in Paul's day, because the temple was still in service. The problem and issue that Paul encountered was convincing the Israelites that the old covenant was finished. The Israelites of Paul's day were not about to give up their form of worship, which of course included Sabbath worship based on the old covenant. As you know this caused severe persecution to the early believers, because they understood that temple service was abolished. I also explain this in my booklet.
The ten commandments as written in code form (of the letter), which of course included the Sabbath day; were the old covenant. Read this truth for yourself in Exodus 34:28 and Deuteronomy 4:13. This truth does not mean the ten commandments are "done away" as many sincere people of today falsely assume. The ten commandments are a reflection of the eternal moral laws of God, and the intent (not the letter) of the ten commandments must be a part of our lives. Years ago, I took the ten commandments very seriously (as we should), and I wanted to make sure that I understood which day was the Sabbath. I kept the Sabbath from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, and actually judged others for observing Sunday. However as time went by I began to see another very important side of the Sabbath issue. I became aware of several biblical facts that I could no longer ignore. As I explained to you before, there is no mention of a Sabbath day in the book of Genesis, nor any hint of any Sabbath observance by Godly men before Moses. Is this not true? The commandments that Abraham kept were not what is known as the "ten commandments", simply because they were not given until over four hundred later, and they were the old covenant. Abraham was also involved with lying several times about his wife, which means Abraham did not keep the commandment; "Thou shalt not bear false witness". However it could very well be that Abraham did set aside every seventh day for God. The point I want to make is that the Bible simply does not mention this.
Another biblical fact that I had to accept is that the phrase "seventh day of the week" is not found in the Bible. Yet for some strange reason Saturday keepers will confess with heart-felt conviction that the Sabbath is indeed the "seventh day of the week". As a matter of fact, their whole premise of Sabbath keeping is based on this assumption. The point is that the Bible simply does not say that the Sabbath is the "seventh day of the week". Another biblical fact is that Sabbath keeping must be kept according to the laws of Moses, which in some cases forbid Israelites from kindling fire and from leaving their homes. Sabbath keeping according to the law was also supplemented with animal sacrifices. I also became aware that the Bible talks about a certain "Rest" of God, and I soon understood that this is the "Rest" that was made on the seventh day of creation (not the Sabbath day). These are the theological building blocks that convinced me that what is known as the Sabbath day was used in old covenant ceremonial worship to represent and show that God "Rested" the seventh day of the creation week; and it is a continual "Rest" (not one day in seven).
It is very true that Christ stated that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath (as you are aware). Saturday keepers assume this means that the Sabbath was made from Adam on, when in fact it does not have to mean that at all. Many laws of God were made during Moses and the old covenant. We have to ask the question; why was the Sabbath made for man? The implication of Christ's statement could mean that the purpose of the Sabbath being made for man, is because the Sabbath was needed to redeem sinful man. Plain and simple. Keep in mind, Christ added "and not man for the Sabbath"; which implies that the Sabbath would serve no purpose if man was made for the Sabbath. Therefore the Sabbath was not in existence before it was needed! I believe this profound statement by Christ proves that the Sabbath was not made at creation and before Adam sinned, simply because it was not needed at that time. Sinful man needs the Sabbath, and the intent of the Sabbath command as given to Moses was to point sinful man to the true God; as you know. Keep in mind, the ten commandments as written in stone (of the letter), which included the Sabbath, started with Moses simply because they were the old covenant. Even if the Sabbath was made in the Garden of Eden (which the Bible does not support), does not change the premise of the Sabbath command. This premise, and what I have been trying to explain to you, is simply setting aside every seventh day for God; to be used by God.
It is also assumed by Saturday keepers that the Sabbath is a memorial of creation. It was the six "work" days as given by Moses that could be called a memorial of the creation; and not the Sabbath. The Sabbath pointed toward the "Rest" of God (not the creation). Exodus 20:9-11 explains this concept and truth very beautifully.
I realize that there is no indication of a change of the Sabbath in the eight places in the New Testament where the "first day of the week" is found (as you mentioned). The simple fact is, it doesn't have to indicate a change. The Sabbath of the old covenant will always be the Sabbath of the old covenant, and the "first day of the week" will always be the "first day of week". The Sabbath that Christ kept was of course the old covenant Sabbath since he was born under the old covenant. The "change" (if we can call it a change) is that Christ's death and sacrifice fulfilled the requirements that the laws of the old covenant demanded, therefore they no longer serve a purpose. New Testament theology is deliberately designed to cause truth seekers to maintain a spiritual perception, and "read between the lines" so to speak, of certain scriptures. I sincerely believe the reason the Holy Spirit inspired the significance of the "first day of the week" is that the "new creation" is based on the "eighth day" or a new beginning, and it is very significant that this phrase "first day of the week" is found exactly eight times in the New Testament. Christ ended the old creation at his sacrifice, therefore the Sabbath based on the old creation was also ended. However the principal and intent of the Sabbath command was not ended, and the Sabbath command is now based on the "new creation".
During the days of Jesus Christ, the Sabbath could very well have been based on "Jewish" legalism, which explains why Christ was repeatedly accused of Sabbath breaking. However Christ no doubt observed the Sabbath when the Jews observed it because it was his custom, as the scripture explains in Luke 4:16. It is very interesting that it was stated as the "custom" of Christ. This could mean that the Jewish Sabbath during Christ's day was only a copy, and of course Christ allowed it; which would explain why it was only a "custom" for Christ. Keep in mind, Luke 4:16 specifically explained it was the custom of Christ to only allow himself to go in the synagogues on the Sabbath, therefore was limited. If this concept is indeed valid it simply shows another proof that the Jewish Sabbath was not kept according to Moses law. There is reason to believe the Sabbath that occurred at Christ's death, which fell on the day before the "first day of the week", was not the weekly Sabbath. I am only stating this from the standpoint of Moses law, which demands that this particular Sabbath had to be the "first day of unleavened bread" that followed the Passover, which of course was Christ. However these events were written from a Jewish viewpoint as John's gospel repeatedly implies. This truth would take into account a Sabbath based on Jewish legalism, which could also very well have been based on the "seventh day of the week" at that time in history.
Ron, I enjoy this fellowship between us, and want to extent a hand of friendship to you. Where are you from, and could I ask what Church are you associated with? Looking forward to hearing from you again, and may God bless you.

From: "Ron Henderson" <ronhende@northrock.bm>
To: "Mahlon" <bible@tk7.net>Dear Mahlon,
It seems to me that you are misunderstanding the Bible's simple statements calling us to worship God the way God dictates. For example, you say that there is no mention of Sabbath keeping in Genesis, therefore you conclude that Sabbath keeping was not in fashion. But if you look closely you will find that there is no mention of some of the other commandments as well, such as idolatry, disobedience to parents, adultery, lying, stealing (one mention), etc. Do we by silence make void the existence of these other commandments? Well, good news, archeologically we know that these commandments did existence because the contemporaneous nations were keeping them. We have also discovered that the places of worship, anciently, in Canaan were built after the sanctuary format! There is more than meets the eye, brother.Also, there is no historical data that the apostles kept Sunday holy, but there is evidence that Jesus tells his apostles that when Jerusalem is destroyed that they should pray that they would not have to flee on the Sabbath! We also know that the early church fathers indicated Sunday gathering around the middle half of the second century (AD 150, ca.), and that at that time Christians still worshipped on Sabbath in many parts of the world. This is history, Mahlon, confirming the Biblical record. If Sunday were so important, then the Bible would have made much out of it. Yet Sunday is nowhere spoken of as a day of worship. I am afraid that you have got the facts much mixed up. Had Paul changed the day from Sabbath to Sunday, this would have been one of the points the Judaisers would have brought against him, this was not the case. The disciples who were strong law keepers never accused Paul of Sabbath breaking, indicating that he did not keep Sunday as a holy day. God's new covenant is always with us and all who love God, now and even in old times. Is it not amazing that God will change Sabbath for Sunday only to revert back to Sabbath keeping in the New Earth?
What is even amazing, Mahlon, is that you will find that the RC church and united Protestantism will unite and enforce the keeping the Sunday on the pain of persecution and death, those who oppose will see the Bible's commandments as the reason why they should not unite with the RCs and the Protestants. Yet God will come out in defence of those who are faithful to His commandments. You faithful to these? May the Lord continue to teach us from His Word. God bless.

Hi, Mahlon,Greetings. Can't you see how you are tying yourself in knots and confusing both yourself and others? For example, you say that the Bible never states that the Sabbath is the seventh day. This is simply not true. Here is what the Bible does say about the Sabbath: 1) (Exo 20:10 KJV) But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 2) (Deu 5:14 KJV) But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. Again you said that nowhere in the Bible does it say that God 'blessed' and 'sanctified' the seventh day. Again, this is simply not true. Here is what the Bible does say: (Gen 2:3 KJV) And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. You will find most versions translate the word 'barek' (from root barak) as 'bless.' And the Hebrew word for bless is barak; the Hebrew dictionary agrees to this; check it out. Also the Hebrew and English Lexicon of the O. T. (Gesenius) agree to this use of the word. Check it out. Here is what Strongs says:1288 barak { baw-rak’} a primitive root; TWOT - 285; v AV - bless 302, salute 5, curse 4, blaspheme 2, blessing 2, praised 2, kneel down 2, congratulate 1, kneel 1, make to kneel 1, misc 8; 330 GK - 1384 { &r'B; } & 1385 { &r'B; 1) to bless, kneel 1a) (Qal) 1a1) to kneel 1a2) to bless 1b) (Niphal) to be blessed, bless oneself 1c) (Piel) to bless 1d) (Pual) to be blessed, be adored 1e) (Hiphil) to cause to kneel 1f) (Hithpael) to bless oneself 2) (TWOT) to praise, salute, curse
Not only did God bless the seventh day, but He also made it holy. The word used is 'qodesh' and it means to make holy, consecrate, sanctify, etc. Check out the Hebrew dictionary, Lexicon, Strongs, and the Hebrew language and you will see that this word is correctly translated. Here is Strongs' findings:
6942 qadash { kaw-dash’} a primitive root; TWOT - 1990; v AV - sanctify 108, hallow 25, dedicate 10, holy 7, prepare 7, consecrate 5, appointed 1, bid 1, purified 1, misc 7; 172 GK - 7727 { vd'q; 1) to consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, be hallowed, be holy, be sanctified, be separate 1a) (Qal) 1a1) to be set apart, be consecrated 1a2) to be hallowed 1a3) consecrated, tabooed 1b) (Niphal) 1b1) to show oneself sacred or majestic 1b2) to be honoured, be treated as sacred 1b3) to be holy 1c) (Piel) 1c1) to set apart as sacred, consecrate, dedicate 1c2) to observe as holy, keep sacred 1c3) to honour as sacred, hallow 1c4) to consecrate 1d) (Pual) 1d1) to be consecrated 1d2) consecrated, dedicated 1e) (Hiphil) 1e1) to set apart, devote, consecrate 1e2) to regard or treat as sacred or hallow 1e3) to consecrate 1f) (Hithpael) 1f1) to keep oneself apart or separate 1f2) to cause Himself to be hallowed (of God) 1f3) to be observed as holy 1f4) to consecrate oneself
As I said before, Mahlon, the only day that God calls holy, and 'His day' and calls for mankind to keep holy is the seventh day. Nowhere does the Bible say that Sunday is holy or blessed. I can do like the Catholic Priest and offer you 1000 dollars if you prove from the Bible that the Sunday, the first day of the week, is blessed and holy as the Sabbath, the seventh day, is. Good luck.

Hi Ron,
After all the email exchanges that we shared on the Sabbath, I am very surprised that you have completely misunderstood and misquoted me. Shame on you!! I never stated that God did not bless the "seventh day", as you falsely accused me. Again I say, shame on you!! I have however repeatedly stated that God did not bless the "seventh day of the week". I am continually amazed why you cannot (or refuse) to see the obvious difference between the "seventh day" of creation, and the "seventh day of the week" (as it relates to our calendar of today). I challenge you to prove to me where the Bible specifically states that God blessed and sanctified the "seventh day of the week". I also challenge you to show me where the Bible specifically states that the Sabbath is the "seventh day of the week". Are you with me? There is 1000 dollars in it for you (as you offered me) if you can biblically show me where God ever blessed the "seventh day of the week" (that is according to our calendar). I remind you kindly in Christian love that the phrase "seventh day of the week" is not found in the Bible! Yet your whole premise on the Sabbath is based on this false assumption. Again I kindly remind you in Christian love that your premise on Sabbath keeping is therefore not biblically correct. Please do yourself a huge favor and carefully study with an open mind the email correspondence that we shared recently. I will also challenge you to show me where my booklet "The Seventh Day" is biblically incorrect. I truly want to know, and I will make the changes if need be. Notice I said "biblically" incorrect, and not what you might think or assume is incorrect from your point of view. I was pleasantly surprised to get your message. I had thought our debate ran it's course and was finished. You really do need to restudy your whole premise on the Sabbath, and begin to believe the written text of scripture exactly the way it is written. Thank you for the email, and may the Great God of Israel bless you richly.http://www.tk7.net/users/bibletruths
