Prayer:
Dear God, King of kings, Lord of lords, we ask you for Your gift of discernment and wisdom for the truth. We pray for Your Holy Spirit to convict us, and help us stay committed, and learn to trust You. Your word says that you will impart knowledge, understanding, and wisdom to those open to you. We need that now Father. Times are tough; when we feel overwhelmed, let us tell You that we're not experiencing peace, joy, or love, to help us be kind and have self-control, goodness, and gentleness. Still allowing us to have boundaries just as you do. Your majesty, reverence, honor, and glory for Jesus forever and ever. Hallelujah God! Thank you for the Holy Ghost! May we experience Your truth.
No doubt, we must believe/accept Jesus' blood.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
I'm praying that you are curious enough to ask God for the answer to this and NOT to listen to any secular sources.
Sabbath was before creation. God rested on the 7th day and sanctified it. No other day was blessed. For at least 4000 years the sabbath was kept in the Old Testament by anyone who was God-loving/fearing. Sunday keeping sabbath was created by the Roman Emporer Constantine, who was heavily influenced by Catholicism and the Hellenistic period 30-3540-ish BC. I agree with this article here the website is SabbathTruth.com Its got a lot of information on the Sabbath. Note this site was not used in the making of this article. I only used the bible.
Burn-out or Rest?
Genesis 2:2,3
And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.
Exodus 20:8-11
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Revelation 14:12
Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.
Sabbath Rest
Could the Sabbath Rest be the Seal of God?
Ezekiel 20: 12
Moreover, I gave them my Sabbaths, as a sign: between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.”
Ezekiel 20:18
“And I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, nor keep their rules, nor defile yourselves with their idols. 19 I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and be careful to obey my rules, 20 and keep my Sabbaths holy that they may be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.’ 21 But the children rebelled against me. They did not walk in my statutes and were not careful to obey my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; they profaned my Sabbaths.
Exodus 31:12-17
12 And the LORD said to Moses, 13“You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ‘Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the LORD, sanctify you. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who profanes it shall be put to death. Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death. 16 Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a covenant forever. 17 It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’”
Exodus 31:18
18 And he gave to Moses, when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
Isiah 58:13
“If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight and the holy day of the LORD honorable;if you honor it, not going your own ways, or seeking your own pleasure, or talking idly; 14then you shall take delight in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
Revelation 7:3
saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
Revelation14:1
1 Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.
Romans 10:1-4
1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Mark of the Beast
Revelation 13:16-18
16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.
Its definitely not the path of least resistance. There is a Sabbath issue here.
You should be informed. Laudato si.
