The Sabbath vs. Any Other Day of the Week

A young man fell in love with a beautiful young woman, and ask her to marry him. After the wedding party was over the young groom went to collect his new bride from her dressing room. When he announced that he had come to collect his new bride one of her six sisters came out to meet him. He asked where his new bride was and her sister answered, "I'm going home with you instead of my sister." The young groom replied, "But I married your sister and I only want my bride." The girl replied, "We’re all sisters aren’t we? Does it matter which one of the seven you take?"

[*The original names and/or titles have been restored. Ps. 68:4 tells us the true name of our Heavenly Father. And His Son was born a Jew in a Jewish community. Does it make sense that He would have a Greek [which they hated] name? No! Yahweh is our Ever Existing Heavenly Father. Yahushua is His Only-begotten Son, our Righteous Redeemer, who came in His Father’s name, Yah…u-shua = Yah Will Save. In the World Book Encyclopedia we are told that " ‘the LORD’ means Baal." The word ‘God’, like the other titles or names most often used in Christianity is pagan in origin and brought into Christianity by the Papacy, beast of Rev. 13. Elohim (Mighty Ones, see Gen. 1:26) is put back where the false title ‘God’ is used. In respect of the Most High, the true names, as close as is known today, will replace the false. In Ex. 23:13 we are told not to even mention the name of other mighty ones. And we are told to come out of false doctrine and practices, Rev. 18:4]

It may not matter to you which of the seven days of the week you worship on or maybe even if you worship at all. But does it matter to the Sovereign Creator? The young man chose one woman, the Creator had one chosen people:

"And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be My people, and I will be your Elohim (God)." [Ezekiel 36:28]

The young man could have had his pick of thousands of young women, Yahveh, the Almighty, could have picked any people to be His chosen:

"…for thou art an holy people unto Yahveh thy Elohim, and Yahveh hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto Himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth." Deut. 14:2

"Blessed is the nation whose Elohim is Yahveh: and the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance." Psalm 33:12

"Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you." [John 15:16]

"If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." [John 15:19]

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light:" [1 Peter 2:9]

Why were we ‘chosen’? "…that ye should shew forth the praises of Him!" Sounds as if we are called to be the priests of His New Kingdom to "shew forth the praises of Him" before all the other worlds, i.e., "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds; [Hebrews 1:2} and, "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of Elohim. [Hebrews 11:3] Is it because of our goodness? "Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations Yahveh thy Elohim doth drive them out from before thee, and that He may perform the word which Yahveh sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Understand therefore, that Yahveh thy Elohim giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people. Deut. 9:5-6

So why is the Seventh-day more important than any other day of the week?

"And Elohim blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which Elohim created and made". [Genesis 2:3]

"Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily My Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am Yahweh that doth sanctify you." [Exodus 31:13]

" It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was refreshed". [Exodus 31:17]

"Moreover also I gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am Yahweh that sanctify them. [Ezekiel 20:12]

"And hallow My Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that ye may know that I am Yahweh your Elohim. [Ezekiel 20:20]

Do you think He is serious about His day of worship?

"Be not deceived; Elohim is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." [Galatians 6:7]
