IX. WHAT ABOUT THE SABBATH TODAY? (LAST DAYS)

MATTHEW 15:

3 "But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of Elohim (God) by your tradition?"

9 "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."

NOTE:

Christ was here referring to the fifth commandment as shown in verse 4, but the principle would apply to any of the commandments.

Is keeping either the Roman Sunday or Roman Saturday for the Sabbath day, a commandment of man, and kept in vain?

REVELATION 14:

12 "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of Elohim (God), and the faith of Yah'shua (Jesus)."

NOTE:

Keeping the commandments of Yahweh is one of the distinguishing characteristics of the saints in the very last days of this worlds' history. Will they be keeping all ten?

JOHN 7:

32 "The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him."

45 "Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?"

46 "The officers answered, Never man spake like this man."

47 "Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?"

48 "Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?"

NOTE:

It is being asked and will be asked to the end of time: "Do your parents, does your minister, do any of the great church leaders or evangelist keep the biblical, luni-solar seventh-day Sabbath? Is a popularity vote the best test of truth? Was it in Christ's day?

JOHN 12:

42 "Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:"

43 "For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of Elohim (God)."

NOTE:

In the last days there will be those that accept the Sabbath but are afraid to keep it holy because they are afraid of what others may think or say or because they are afraid of losing their jobs.

PROVERBS 14:

12 "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."

PHILIPPIANS 2:

12 "Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."

NOTE:

"There is a way which seemeth right ...." The only way we can know if something is right or wrong is by studying the Bible and doing a lot of praying. "Work out your own salvation ...." Do not just take someone's word for it. The closer we get to the end of this world the more important it will be to study the Bible for ourselves.
