Leviticus 23:32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from evening unto evening, shall you celebrate your sabbath.
Sanctification includes God’s creative work in our hearts, for it is the same power that was exercised in Genesis, which now works in the heart of the believer. Thus, God specified when the Sabbath was to be kept, as the memorial of His creative power. Sunday worship, which represents the symbol that Papal Rome cites as the badge of her authority, isn’t only the incorrect day of worship, it also does not include any darkness, because it does not begin on Saturday night, and thus, it leaves out the dark part of the day.
Luke 24: 50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just. 52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. 54 And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on. (The Darkness part of the day) 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
Which Commandment?: Exodus 20: 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Nehemiah 13: 19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
