it is not just any day. 1t is a specific day. God said "The

Mark 2:27-S. The Sabbath is therefore the Lords day"
And the Bible from Genesis to Revelation knows no Sabbath
but the seventh day of the week.
Our Lord Jesus Christ habitually observed the Sabbath:
"And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up;
and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the
Sabbath day, and stood up for to read" Luke 4:16. Jesus
commanded His disciples to pray that they might observe
the Sabbath even under military siege as late as A. ID. 10.
Matt. 24:20. After the crueifixiOn the women crested the
Sabbath day according to the commandment" Luke 3:56.
The Sabbath according to the commandment is The Sew
enth Day EXODUS 20:10.
Paul speaks "Of the seventh day ON this wise, and God
did rest the seventh day from all his works there re-
maineth therefore a rest excepting of a sabbath, margin) to
also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Heb. 4:4,9,10. The book of Acts gives repeated examples of
PauIs observance of the Sabbath. See Acts 1~3:14,42,44; Acts
1913, Acts 1874. That this was PauIS customary practice is
clearly stated: "And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto
the scriptures" Acts 17:2."
the seventh to the first day of the week, but there is no
scriptural authority for such a change. There are only eight
texts in the whole New Testament that mention the first
day of the week, and not one single verse even hints that
such a change was known in apostolic times. These texts are:
Matt. 2S:1; Mark 16:1,2; Mark 1863; Luke 24:1; John 2O:1;
John 20:19; Acts. 20:7; 1 Cor. 1872. Only one of these verses
refers to a religious meeting, Acts 2O:7 and that probably
was on a Saturday night, for in the Bible reckoning the DAYS
begin at sunset, and the meeting was a night meeting.
tradition and practice. The seventh day, commonly called
Saturday is still the sabbath of the Lord thy God" And
before Christ returns the second time the Sabbath will be-
and will be reinstateds in the life and practice of those
awaiting His second advent.
