Genesis 2:2-3 KJV
And on the seventh ( shbîyîy) day God ended his work which he had made; and
he rested (: shâbath) on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
And God blessed the seventh ( shbîyîy) day, and sanctified it: because that in it
he had rested ((: shâbath) from all his work which God created and made. [25]
Especially Catholic scholars will review this only in English and say with a
straight face the word Sabbath is not even used in the passage. That is called
fraud. The word is there four times in these two verses alone in the Hebrew
language in which it was written and they know better. The Sabbath was set apart
as holy on the 7th day of the week and no other from the 7th day of Creation. It
can only follow a cycle every 7th day and not the 8th, 6th, 9th or similar. There
is a Luni-Solar theory out there which does that and it leaves the 7-day cycle
from the first Sabbath thus it is erroneous from the first week. This is Saturday
from sunrise to what we call Sunday at sunrise based on this book. For those
questioning Saturday, there are over 100 cultures around the world who title that
7th day as Sabbath in their languages such as Sabado, etc. thus Saturday has
been well preserved as best we can tell. The Sabbath began at Creation and it was
made for man or Adam.
Mark 2:27-28 KJV
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Are we really supposed to believe that Messiah came and declared He was Lord
of the Sabbath for the first time in this passage? Of course not. He was since
the beginning (John 1) as the Creator with Yahuah which is why it says “Let us
make.” He created man on the 6th day and the Sabbath for man on the 7th and
Adam had to keep the Sabbath to exist in the incorruptible Garden of Eden.
Therefore, if we are man, we are blessed with a sanctified and holy day every
Saturday. It is a major quandary to attempt to figure how exactly a day of rest
has been mischaracterized so by the church as a burden. It is an oxymoron. Some
even go so far as to say Messiah never decreed the Sabbath and they forget He
did at Creation and He said He did not come to change that.
Matthew 5:17-18 KJV
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy,
but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle
shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall
