Welcome to The Real Sabbath Is Saturday post. Here is a great step by step Bible Study showing that Saturday is the Sabbath for all of mankind. Follow God’s Holy Book the Bible and you will not get distracted by false teachings. Click on the video below for the study.
Genesis 2:1-3
The Seventh Day, God Rests
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished His work that He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work that He had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that He had done in creation.
The Real Sabbath Is Saturday
God sanctified and made holy His Seventh Day. Man cannot make a day Holy. God did this 2,000 years before Abraham who was the first Jew. So, the Sabbath is for all of mankind. All mankind will worship God on the Sabbath day in heaven. according to the prophet Isaiah.
Isaiah 66:22-23
For as the new heavens and the new earth
Which I will make shall remain before Me, says the Lord,
So shall your descendants and your name remain.
23 And it shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another,
And from one Sabbath to another,
All flesh shall come to worship before Me, says the Lord.
A supernatural act of God was when HE dropped manna from heaven to feed the people. The Bible is full of similar events where God provided for the people.
Exodus 16:25-28
25 Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, which is a Sabbath, there will be none.” 27 On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they found none. 28 And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?”
This verse in Exodus is before the Ten Commandments were written on stone by God’s finger.
Exodus 20:8-11
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Keyword here is to ‘Remember’. God is pointing back to creation which cannot be changed.
Let us skip forward into the New Testament and read God’s last warning to mankind which is known as the Three Angels Messages.
Revelation 14:6-7
Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— 7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
God is calling mankind to worship His Creation in the First Angels message. Now let us return to the Old Testament.
Deuteronomy 9:10
And the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words that the Lord had spoken with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.
Deuteronomy 31:26
Take this Book of the Law and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against you.
Psalms 89:34
I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
Malachi 3:6
For I am the Lord, I do not change.
Isaiah 66:22-23
For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make shall remain before me, says the Lord, so shall your offspring and your name remain. 23 From new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me, declares the Lord.
Matthew 5:17-19
Christ Came to Fulfill the Law
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 12:8
For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.
Matthew 24:20
And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.
Keyword here is ‘the’. Jesus does not say ‘a’ Sabbath but ‘the’ Sabbath.
Romans 3:31
Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.
Romans 6:15
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!
Colossians 2:14
Having wiped out the hand writing of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Paul is referring to Moses’ Law being nailed to the cross when Jesus died for us at Calvary. Hope you have enjoyed reading The Real Sabbath Is Saturday post.
