OUR NINE (9) SIMPLE SABBATH WITNESSES!

A friend of mine recently asked me how one could determine which day of the week is the true
Sabbath Day of the Lord. Well, I wrote to her (in two long SMSs) the following that ARE our NINE
daily WITNESSES of the Sabbath Truth! By a quick search EVERYONE can discover them!!!
Why don’t you try looking them up?
1. THE WEEKEND.
The term “weekend” is not very old. It wasn't there in biblical times.
Please ask yourself this question: “If a week begins ON the First Day
of the week, how comes it later ENDS ON/WITH Two Days?”
Moreover, we were given by God SIX days to WORK and ONE
day for “REST”. It wasn't FIVE days to Work and TWO days for
Rest! Someone must have stretched the duration of the Weekend from
one day to two days.
[And the person who did this was the “Little Horn” Power of Daniel 7:25, of
whom it was prophesied that he would “think to change times” attests to this
fact. But that's another topic. (If you desire to study further about this Time
Changer, please tell me.)]
To understand a little more about the weekly cycle (as prescribed by God),
you may read the following texts: Exodus 20:9, 10; 31:15 - 17; 34:21; and
Deuteronomy 5:13, 14.

2. OUR CALENDARS.
Up until the late 80s, almost ALL calendars had Sunday as the FIRST
day of the week, & Saturday as SEVENTH. Even today, most calendars
have maintained the same position -- posting Sunday on the slot of the
First Day, and Saturday on that of the Seventh Day.
Check your calendar.
Question:
How can it be that the minority who maintain that Saturday is the true Sabbath
hold such a large sway over the greater majority who think otherwise that they can
dictate how calendars are published?
Answer:
It is not their influence, but that of our Heavenly Father -- pointing us to the truth.

3. ENCYCLOPEDIAS AND DICTIONARIES.

The words “Sabbath”, “Sunday”, and “Saturday” in any OLD encyclopedia or dictionary will give you
the answer. Just check it up.
Question:
How can it be that the minority who maintain that Saturday is the true Sabbath hold such a large sway
over the greater majority who think otherwise that they can dictate how calendars are published?
Answer:
Because it is not their influence, but that of our Heavenly Father -- pointing us to the truth.
4. THE JEWS.
Ever since the days of Abraham (the first Jew), there has never ceased to be a Jew on
the face of the earth. And these people have ALWAYS kept the Sabbath -- TO DATE!
(They seem to be like God's living clock and witnesses to all future generations.)
So we can thus confidently and credibly say that our counting system IS correct and accurate!

5. THE HISTORIC USAGE OF THE WORD “SABBATH”.
The word “Sabbath” can be found in over 100 of our ancient languages. Traditionally, all these ethnic
groups knew and kept the true Sabbath.
One good example to be cited was when the Italians went into Ethiopia in their scramble and partition
for Africa. They found that after many centuries of seclusion, the Ethiopians were still keeping the
Saturday Sabbath.
6. THE QURAN AND THE SABBATH.
The Quran was written in the days of Prophet Mohammed (in the 7th
Century). In it, a certain class of Christians that had forfeited the biblical
Sabbath is strongly condemned by the prophet.
Read Quran 2:65; 4:47; 7:163; 16:124.
Some good expositions from the internet are below:

b. http://www.worldslastchance.com/for-muslims-only/what-does-the-quran-say-about-the-seventh-day-sabbath.html
7. THE PASSION WEEK.
Everyone knows Jesus was crucified on “Good Friday” and that He
arose on “Easter Sunday” (or is it “Resurrection Sunday”?).
Read the chronology of the events that took place:
a. Mark 15:42, John 19:31, Luke 23:54;
b. Matthew 27:62; and
c. Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:1, 2; Luke 24:1, 2; John 20:1.
The steps are:
a. He died on the SIXTH Day, Friday (biblically referred to as “Preparation Day”).
b. He RESTED on the SEVENTH Day, Saturday (the Bible Sabbath).
c. He AROSE on the FIRST Day, Sunday.

8. THE MIDDLE CROSS.

Question:
What do the BIG THREE
monotheistic religions in the world
(Islam, Judaism and Christianity)
have in common?
Answer:
They all share a set/fixed chronology that points out WHEN the true Sabbath is!
Let me explain this concept.
a. Just as Jesus was hung between two robbers, so, too is God's Sabbath
hedged in between the TWO days of worship: of Friday (Islam) and
Sunday (Secular Christianity).
b. Just as one thief spoke in disbelief and the other ONLY asked to be
remembered, Islam rejects the Savior while Christians don't obey in
everything! [Read this in Luke 23:39 - 42.]
9. THE GOOD NEWS BIBLE.
Finally, here is THE LAST SIMPLE PROOF!
Read Matthew 28:1 from your GOOD NEWS BIBLE! The
proof is RIGHT HERE! Read it.
It CLEARLY states that Jesus not only Rested on the Sabbath Day, but that He arose on a “Sunday”.

God bless you as you meditate on these biblical, factual based truths!
