[Biblical Teaching]

The Day to Commemorate God the Creator

Gen. 2:1-3 
『Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
  By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; 
  so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 

 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested  from all the work of creating that he had done.』 

In the time of Moses, God commanded His people, in the fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments, to "remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy." God explained the purpose for keeping the Sabbath by saying, "In six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy" (Ex. 20:11). The seventh day was the day that God, the Creator, had blessed and it was the day that God's people were given to commemorate God's authority. God's people, who worshiped the Creator, kept the Sabbath day as their holy day. God gave His people the Sabbath as the sign by which God would recognize them as His people (Ezek. 20:11-17; Isa. 56:1-7).

The Sabbath Day Is Saturday

Today, we refer to the days of the week as 'Sundaay, Monday, Tuesday,' and no longer 'the first day, the second day, the third day.' Our present-day system was developed in Rome where people decided to call the first day of the week 'Sunday,' the second day 'Monday,' the third day 'Tuesday,' and the seventh day 'Saturday.' 

  1) A calendar week has seven days; 
      Sunday is the first day and Saturday is the seventh day. 

  2) Think about the word. "Weekend." Which day does the 'end' of the 'week' indicate? 

 3) Even in the dictionary,
    Sunday is defined as 'the first day of the week,' and Saturday as 'the seventh day of the week.'

  4) The Bible also testifies that the seventh day, the Sabbath day, is Saturday. 

  Mark 16:9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week...

Jesus resurrected on the first day of the week. No one argues that Jesus resurrected on Sunday-the 'first day of the week'-which is why all Christians now celebrate Resurrection Day on Sunday. In the Good News Bible, this verse is written, 'After Jesus rose from death early on Sunday...' 

Since the first day of the week is Sunday, what day is the seventh day? Through the Bible, we can confirm that the Sabbath day is Saturday.

[Situation at the Time]
Jesus and His Apostles Kept the Sabbath

The Sabbath day, according to the Old Testament law, was only a copy; the Sabbath day of the new covenant, kept in Christ, is the reality. In the New Testament times, the apostles kept the Sabbath day by worshiping God in spirit and in truth, following Jesus Christ's example.

Jesus kept the Sabbath as His custom. 

Luke 4:16 
『He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the 

  Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom....』 

The apostles kept the Sabbath day as their custom, 

Acts 17:2 

『As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three 

  Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures...』 

Acts 20:6-7 
『But we sailed from Philippi after the Feast of Unleavened 

  Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas, where we stayed seven 

  days. On the first day of the week we came together to break bread...』 

As it is written in the above verses, the apostles kept the Sabbath day. 

It is proven throughout the Scriptures that the Sabbath day?
the seventh day, Saturday, Jesus' day?was kept until the apostolic age. 
So why do so many present-day Christians hold services on Sunday [the first day] and not on the Sabbath day? 
According to history, Sunday service originated from pagan sun-god worship. 
The Romans had been worshiping the sun god on the first day [Sunday], recognizing it as "the day of the sun," even before the birth of Jesus.

[Historical Background]
The Sabbath Was Changed to Sunday

After the apostles died, Christianity spread to western regions, including Rome. The gospel was preached to sun-god worshipers, and in the early 4th century, even the Roman emperor had heard the message of Christ. The emperor happened to be a leader of the sun-god worshipers, and when he converted to Christianity, many sun-god worshipers began to attend Church. As time passed, the faith of the Christians weakened, and they began to accept the customs of the sun-god worshipers. During this turn-over, they even began to rest and to worship on the first day of the week [Sunday]. In A.D. 321, Constantine, a Roman emperor, decreed an edict: 

"All judges, city-people and craftsmen shall rest on the venerable day of the Sun." 

Some argue that the abolishment of the Sabbath compelled many people to convert to Christianity, but we must not forget that altering God's commandments was Satan's scheme. Satan, the devil, opposes God and has historically harassed God's people, using various methods. 

God bless you!
