Exodus
20:8-11:
"You are to
remember the Sabbath day to hallow it. Six days shall you serve and do all your
work, yet the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your Elohim. You shall not do
any work, you your son or your daughter, your menservants or your maidservant,
your bull, your donkey or your beast, or your sojourner who is within your
gates. For in six days Yahweh dealt with the heavens and the earth, the sea and
all that is in them, and He "stopped" on the seventh day. Therefore,
Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it".
This
week blog reviews the above commandment Yahweh gave to the children of Israel
through Moses. This commandment is not negotiable because it is a fiat from the
maker of Heavens and Earth. However, it has been found that Satan has somehow been eclipsing this commandment from the time of Adam and Eve. To fast forward, Daniel 7:23-25 recorded that a beast would rise from ten horns. This same beast would be
very strong and controlling. He would intend to alter (the) stated times and
edict. Fortunately for this beast, his intention shall be granted to him. Daniel chapter 8:13-14 talked about how long
this rebellion would last. In the long run, he would be defeated and thrown in
the Lake of Fire (Revelation 19:20).
Talking
about rebellion against the fiat of Yahweh, the current eon is being governed
by the fourth beast. It is diverse from all other beasts (Daniel 7 and 8). The
beast is not literally physical animal but a system. The pronoun "He" is being used
according the scriptures mentioned because at each period, one man is being
empowered by Satan to be spear-heading his agenda on this world. The beast can
be addressed as "it" because it is not just animal thing but it is an
idea to rule the world in a certain fashion. This is also known as system. You
can also call it a Matrix. This system behaves like a beast. It commands the respect
of all part of the world as the beast controls it with its ideas.
Talking of the ideas:
These
ideas include but not limited to what to worship, how to worship, who to worship,
when to worship and modern ways to worship. All these point to rebellion
against Yahweh's commandments. Once it is an idea, the thoughts and suggestions
brought to the society would always appear to be nice and ideally. These ideas
would sound great and would be acceptable by majority of people. This includes
the day to serve Yahweh.
Why are most people
serving/worshipping Yahweh on Sunday?
This
has been a controversy among many Christians as they come up with many bible
verses to defend their decisions. During
the time of Yeshua, people still serve Yahweh on Sabbath day. During the time
of 12 disciples, followers of Yeshua (Jesus) and Paul the apostle, people still
served Yahweh on Sabbath day.
The controversy about Paul's admonition according to Colossians 2:16-17:
Paul should not be mis-interpreted. He stated that people should not be judged
concerning the kind of food, drink, festival or Sabbath because they are the fore-shadows
what to come but to be concerned about the real and the most important thing
which is to believe in Christ Yeshua. Paul does not want people to get stereotyped
on the laws (judging from the fact that he wrote this in the dispensation of
grace). Paul appeared to be modest on this issue. However, this commandment still
stands but keeping it is not as important as believing in Christ Yeshua. Some
people have argued that Yeshua resurrected on Sunday and that is their
foundation of their chosen day of worship. That is an idea but not Yahweh's commandment.
Once again, believing in Yeshua is the most important thing according to Paul's
admonition.
Eclipsing traditions
and ideas with Yahweh's commandments:
Satan
in his tricky ideas has eclipsed Yahweh's commandments with its own ideas and
agenda to rule this world. Denotatively, Yeshua resurrected on Sunday but the
beast system has eclipsed this day to worship the god of Sun. Thus it is called
Sun's day or better calls it Sunday. You should have seen the symbols of sun in
some religion places if you have been there. These symbols go way back to the
ancient time during Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz. I advise you to find
more information on these three names, their rebellions against Yahweh and
their ways of worship in those days. There are many secrets (festivals; 40 days of
fast e.t.c) on these ideas but they cannot be discussed in this platform this
week.
On common sense
perspective:
There
is no day you may not serve and worship Elohim Yahweh but according to Yahweh's
fiat, the Sabbath day is the seventh day. On this day, you should stop whatever
you may have been doing for the past six days and serve him. The seventh day
may be called Sunday by some people whereas; it is the first day (as found on
the calendar). Yahweh did not ask you to serve him on the first day but on the
seventh day. I am not a Seventh day Adventist and I am not canvassing for them.
If this scripture is to be followed,
then the Sabbath day (Saturday) is the correct day to serve Yahweh. If your
work schedule is on weekdays, have you not ever felt happy when it is Friday?
Naturally, you would feel happy because you like to stop from your weekday
job(s) and be ready to do something else in the weekend. Saturday is the day most people are
looking forward to see (even) from Monday. Most people love Saturdays because
it is day to enjoy themselves with their loved ones.
Scriptures cannot be annulled
(John 10:35):
I
believe Yahweh's commandments should be obeyed irrespective of whatever
alternatives people may come up with. Remember, rebellion always comes with
somehow great and convincing ideas but they may be leading to destruction. Many
people have been misled as of today.
In
conclusion, please ponder on this week's blog and my prayer is that you
understand it as well.
I hope
to round up with this fiat episodes on next week blog Elohim Yahweh willing as the rest commandments are discussed .
Shalom!

ReplyDeleteAnonymous question:
ReplyDeleteSo, my concern is that, is God bothered about what day we decide to set aside as a sabbath day to serve Him?
He is never bothered. He works things according to the counsel if his will (Ephesians 1:11). He made laws and knew that these laws would be rebelled to prove to everyone that there's no perfection in human.
