Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
This passage of scripture not only tells us that the seventh day is the only biblical day of rest, it also teaches us how the day of itself is made sacred and holy. The verses state that God rested in, and on the seventh day, thereby filling the appointed time with His holy presence, and that's why the seventh day is a sacred day. When Moses was upon the mount looking at the burning bush, The Lord told him to remove his shoes because the ground was now sacred, even though Moses must have previously visited Mount Horeb on several different occasions before this experience. Let's read:
Exodus 3:4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
It was God's presence that sanctified the mountain top, and therefore the same principle also applies to the seventh day of the week where God meets with the human family on a weekly basis. If the president of the United States were to make a weekly appointment with any ordinary person under his jurisdiction, the time that has been thus set aside for one on one communion with the highest ranking earthly authority will obviously be held in supreme regard, and we can just imagine the elaborate preparations that would take place, as the person prepares for the president's arrival.
On a much more important scale should be our preparations to meet with the King of Kings on a weekly basis, because His presence pervades the appointed time, and whoever shows up for the weekly appointment in the right spirit, will consequently be blessed tremendously.
When the "man of sin" claims to have transferred the sacredness of the Seventh day Sabbath to Sunday, an ordinary working day, he presumes to have both the authority and power to move God at his own will, and therefore when this doctrine is believed and adopted, the adherents will ultimately honor the son of perdition more than they honor God Himself, which is a form of gross idolatry.
We therefore end with a passage of scripture that reiterates the importance of the sacred, weekly appointment on the seventh day of the week, and we should all make the necessary reforms and changes where applicable, to facilitate the sacred time with our Creator. Let's read:
Isaiah 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
May God add His blessing to the study and doing of His word. "Good night" and God bless!
