00:00:00In this fourth teaching in our Ten Commandments series, we turn our attention to a commandment
00:00:07that's often overlooked and neglected within mainstream Christian churches.
00:00:12A commandment that's rarely ever kept, even though Yahweh put it in a list with the same
00:00:19seriousness as idolatry and murder and adultery.
00:00:23The Sabbath was not offered as a mere recommendation.
00:00:26It was put forth and commanded by Yahweh Himself and blessed by Yahweh.
00:00:33And this is no ordinary precept.
00:00:35It's a covenant, a sign between those who follow and are a part of Yahweh's people and
00:00:42Yahweh Himself.
00:00:43As we open the scriptures together, let us not diminish what Yahweh has set apart and
00:00:49made holy.
00:00:49So join us as we uncover the God-honest truth about the fourth commandment regarding the
00:00:55Sabbath.
00:00:56So this is a teaching on the fourth commandment continuing in our series on the Ten Commandments.
00:01:22So make sure to have your pen and paper ready and get your notes out so you can take all
00:01:27the notes we've got for this particular subject in this particular teaching.
00:01:31But if you would like more notes than what we present to you here, and I promise you there's
00:01:36a whole bunch more information than what we're going to present tonight.
00:01:40During this teaching, we have cut it way down for the sake of time, just so it's not a multi-hour
00:01:49video.
00:01:51However, we are planning on doing an entire series coming up probably next year on the
00:01:58Sabbath.
00:01:59So stay tuned for that and you'll get a whole bunch of information on the Sabbath coming
00:02:04up.
00:02:04But for this teaching, it's going to be cut way back.
00:02:07So if you'd like some more information after watching this teaching, go to our website at
00:02:12godhonesttruth.com.
00:02:14Click on the article post for this particular episode.

00:02:26You'll also be able to get the notes that we took for this episode and the notes that
00:02:33we took for this subject in general.
00:02:36Now, let me tell you, our master notes list for the Sabbath is almost 80 pages long from
00:02:45historical quotes to scriptures to lexicographical, I'm sorry, lexicon and dictionary definitions
00:02:52to encyclopedias and all kinds of stuff.
00:02:57Almost 80 pages in our master notes.
00:03:01It's all free for you.
00:03:03Go check it out today at godhonesttruth.com or go down below in the description and you'll
00:03:09be able to see the convenient link that we posted for you right there.
00:03:12All you got to do is click on it and it takes you directly to that article post.
00:03:16And that link in the description should be there whether you're watching on a video platform,
00:03:22or an audio podcasting platform.
00:03:24It should still be down there all the same.
00:03:27So far, we have gone over the first, I'm sorry, three commandments.
00:03:32Then go over again real quick.
00:03:34Number one, have no other gods or mighty ones before me.
00:03:37Number two, do not make yourself a image or carved image or any likeness of anything in
00:03:43the heavens, on the earth or under the earth.
00:03:45Number three, do not bring the name of Yahweh to nothing or bring it to vain.
00:03:52So now we get to the fourth commandment.
00:03:55And if you are like me, come from a King James background, the fourth commandment in King
00:04:01James states as such, remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
00:04:05The Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
00:04:08Of course, that's a shortened version.
00:04:10So let's look at the command, the fourth command and the full verse, I guess you could say,
00:04:16or the full set of verses for this command.
00:04:19This comes from Exodus chapter 20, verses 8 through 11.
00:04:24Remember the Sabbath day to set it apart or make it holy.
00:04:28Six days you labor and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of Yahweh your
00:04:34Elohim.
00:04:35You do not do any work.
00:04:37You nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor
00:04:42your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
00:04:46For in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them,
00:04:51and rested on the seventh day.
00:04:54Therefore, Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart.
00:04:59Now, some things to note about this before we dive in a whole lot deeper.
00:05:04Number one, this isn't just a suggested proposal for your consideration so you can think about
00:05:10it and, well, maybe we'll do it, maybe we won't.
00:05:12No, it says do this.
00:05:14This is one of those commandments where he's commanding you to do this.
00:05:18It's a decree of Yahweh, after all.
00:05:22Number two, consider the gravity of this particular commandment.
00:05:28This commandment is listed amongst other commandments on the same level, with the same authority,
00:05:34the same weight and gravity to it, as things such as murder and idolatry and adultery.
00:05:43It's right here in the same list as those.
00:05:46It has the same weight, it has the same authority, and we should consider it with the same seriousness
00:05:52as these other commandments.
00:05:55So keep that in your mind as well.
00:05:59And number three, it's a sobering reality when we begin to think about the fourth commandment,
00:06:05is that this Sabbath commandment is, even though it's spoken and commanded by Yahweh himself,
00:06:11with the same authority as the rest of the commandments, a commandment such as idolatry and adultery and murder.
00:06:19This commandment is often the one that is the least remembered and the least observed in modern Christian practice.
00:06:28And it's sad.
00:06:33It seems like a buffet line to some churches when they go to the Bible and they say,
00:06:40well, the Old Testament's done away with, and then some of them will say,
00:06:43well, it was just the civil law, not the moral law.
00:06:48The Ten Commandments still stand.
00:06:49But then you bring up things like the fourth commandment, and they're like,
00:06:53well, that doesn't really stand either, we've changed that.
00:06:57No.
00:06:58No.
00:06:59That's not how it works.
00:07:00This is the same thing.
00:07:01If murder is still wrong according to Scripture, then the Sabbath still stands according to Scripture.
00:07:07It's on the same level as murder and idolatry and adultery and having multiple gods.
00:07:14Oh, my gosh.
00:07:17That's the same level that this Sabbath command is on.
00:07:21So let's dig down a little bit further and get deeper into this commandment to hopefully help understand it better.
00:07:27This is where it really gets nerdy.
00:07:29So have your notes ready or go to our website and check out the notes that we provided for you for free.
00:07:37Looking again at the fourth commandment, it starts out with remember.
00:07:40This is the only one of the commandments where we are specifically told to remember this commandment.
00:07:49Now, the other ones, yeah, we should remember them, but it's not specifically told to us in the commandment to remember it.
00:07:57This is the only one where we're specifically told to remember this commandment.
00:08:02Remember the Sabbath day.
00:08:04This is Strong's H2142, Zakir, Zakir, and it means just like what you would think it would mean.
00:08:14It means to remember, to recall, to call to mind, to mention, to be mindful, to recount, et cetera, et cetera.
00:08:21That same kind of concept that you would think about when you think of remember.
00:08:26Here's your outline of biblical usage from blueletterbible.org and your Strong's definition.
00:08:31Here's your Brown Driver Briggs entry and your Justinius' Hebrew lexicon entry.
00:08:38And all pretty much saying the same thing.
00:08:40Remember, call back to memory, be recalled, remember the Sabbath.
00:08:46And here is your Jastroth's Dictionary of the Targums entry and Klein Dictionary entry for Zakar.
00:08:51Now, moving on, after you remember the Sabbath day and this commandment, we're told, you know, remember the Sabbath day.
00:09:02So, what does Sabbath mean?
00:09:03Well, Sabbath means rest.
00:09:05You can kind of pick that up.
00:09:07You kind of pick that up from the actual commandment itself.
00:09:11When you take things into context, you look here and it says, remember the Sabbath day to set it apart.
00:09:16Six days you labor.
00:09:17So, it's talking about work and laboring and all this other stuff.
00:09:21But then it says, after these six days, on the seventh day is a Sabbath.
00:09:26So, what would a Sabbath be?
00:09:28It would be a rest.
00:09:30And that's what Sabbath means.
00:09:32It means rest.
00:09:34Cessation from work.
00:09:36Whatever how you want to put it.
00:09:37And that comes from Strong's H7676.
00:09:42Shabbat.
00:09:43Shabbat.
00:09:44And it means, it's like you would think it means, it means a Sabbath in English.
00:09:49It means a day of atonement, Sabbath year, intermission, rest, cessation from work, things like that.
00:09:57In this context, it means the weekly day of rest.
00:10:03Now, let's go back and look at this real quick.
00:10:06The commandment itself says the seventh day is a Sabbath of Yahweh.
00:10:14This is something to point out real quick, too.
00:10:16Because the weekly Sabbath is just one of these Sabbaths throughout the year that is commanded in Scripture by Yahweh himself.
00:10:24It's more than, we get more days of rest than just the weekly Shabbat.
00:10:28We get days of rest on the beginning and end of Sukkot.
00:10:33We get them on Passover, et cetera, et cetera.
00:10:37So there's more than just the weekly Shabbat.
00:10:39This is just a Sabbath.
00:10:41But Sabbath, in and of itself, means rest.
00:10:44And this is talking about the weekly day of rest.
00:10:48So here's your outline of biblical usage, Strong's definition, and Brown Driver Briggs entry for H7676.
00:10:55Here's your Jesenius' Hebrew lexicon entry, and Jastral's Dictionary of the Targums entry, and the Klein Dictionary entry for your benefit.
00:11:07Now, this word Shabbat actually comes from another word, which is Strong's H7673, and that is Shabbat.
00:11:16And this means, more generally, to cease, rest, desist, things like that.
00:11:24Here's your outline of biblical usage and Strong's definition for Shabbat.
00:11:29Here's your Brown Driver Briggs entry and Jesenius' Hebrew lexicon entry.
00:11:36Here's your Jastral's Dictionary of the Targums and Klein Dictionary entry, as well as your Hebrew and Aramaic lexicon of the Old Testament entry.
00:11:44And for further information, definitely go check out the notes, because these entries that we've put up here from the dictionaries and the lexicons and et cetera, et cetera,
00:11:54the ones you see on your screen right here are way cut down, because a lot of these entries, especially from the Halot or the Hebrew and Aramaic lexicon of the Old Testament,
00:12:05they put a lot of information in there.
00:12:07So we cut it down just to fit on the screen here for you for the video.
00:12:11But if you want to see the full entry, definitely go check out the notes for this particular episode and the subject,
00:12:17and you'll be able to see the whole entry right there.
00:12:20A whole bunch of stuff that you may want to know or you may not want to know, but go check it out anyways.
00:12:28Once again, you see here, this is, remember the Sabbath.
00:12:32What is the Sabbath again?
00:12:33Sabbath means rest, especially specifically in this context, the weekly day of rest.
00:12:39Because we see, in contrast, it says six days do you work.
00:12:44So you've got contrasted with both six days and working.
00:12:47And it says the seventh day is the Sabbath.
00:12:51The seventh day is the rest day of Yahweh, your Elohim.
00:12:56And notice that too.
00:12:58What does it say is the Sabbath of?
00:13:00It says it's the Jewish Sabbath.
00:13:02Does it say it's the Sabbath of the Jews?
00:13:06No.
00:13:07This is not the Jewish Sabbath.
00:13:09Yeah, Judaism honors the biblical Sabbath.
00:13:13But it's not the Sabbath of the Jews.
00:13:15It's not the Jewish Sabbath.
00:13:16It is the Sabbath of Yahweh.
00:13:20That's how Scripture puts the Sabbath.
00:13:23So keep that in mind as we go forward and we look at some further historical information.
00:13:29And when you study this further in your own studies, keep that in mind as well.
00:13:35Moving on.
00:13:36Remember the Sabbath day to set it apart or make it holy.
00:13:41So what does make it holy mean?
00:13:43Make something holy?
00:13:44It means to set it apart.
00:13:46In this particular translation, it doesn't use the word holy.
00:13:49It uses the word set apart.
00:13:51It's the same thing.
00:13:52Unfortunately, a lot of people, if they're only using things like the King James, they
00:13:57don't understand what holy means.
00:13:59But holy means set apart.
00:14:02And that comes from Strong's 86942.
00:14:06Kod dash.
00:14:07Kod dash.
00:14:09And it means to be set apart, to be consecrated, hallowed, things like that.
00:14:14Here is your outline of biblical usage.
00:14:16And again, it is way cut down.
00:14:18So go check out the notes for the full entry.
00:14:22Here's your Strong's definition and your Brown Driver Briggs.
00:14:26Again, to be set apart, consecrated, hallowed, things like that.
00:14:29I'm sure you've heard consecrated and hallowed before.
00:14:34Here's your Justinus' Hebrew lexicon entry and your Jastral's Dictionary of the Targums entry
00:14:39for Kod dash.
00:14:42Kod dash.
00:14:42And finally, your Klein Dictionary entry for Kod dash.
00:14:49Again, to be holy, to be sacred, to be set apart.
00:14:53This Sabbath is to be set apart, is to be consecrated.
00:14:57It is to be holy.
00:15:00That's what we're talking about here.
00:15:03So once again, let's read this whole thing all together.
00:15:06Now we've dug a little bit deeper.
00:15:09Exodus chapter 20, verses 8 through 11.
00:15:11In other words, the fourth commandment.
00:15:14Quote,
00:15:14Remember the Sabbath day to set it apart.
00:15:18Six days you labor and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of Yahweh your Elohim.
00:15:26Do not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant,
00:15:33nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
00:15:37For in six days, Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day.
00:15:45Therefore, Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart.
00:15:50So some other things, let's go over real quick.
00:15:53It says,
00:15:54To remember the Sabbath day.
00:15:56And again, Sabbath means to rest.
00:15:58The rest day, the Sabbath day.
00:16:00And make it holy or set it apart.
00:16:03You're to work for six days, and then take off and rest on the seventh.
00:16:09Keep that in mind, too, because there's other philosophies out there as far as how the Sabbath is to be calculated.
00:16:16But here we see from Scripture, it's six days, Sabbath, six days, Sabbath, six days, Sabbath.
00:16:22That's the biblical example.
00:16:25Then going on, it says,
00:16:27You do not do any work.
00:16:30You don't do any work.
00:16:33Understand that part so far?
00:16:34Now it goes on and says,
00:16:37You nor your son nor your daughter.
00:16:40So, you don't even make your family work.
00:16:43You give them the day off.
00:16:45It says,
00:16:46Nor your male servant nor your female servant.
00:16:48So you have people working for you.
00:16:50You don't put them to work on Sabbath either.
00:16:52You give them a day of rest.
00:16:55Don't make them work.
00:16:57And it doesn't matter who it is.
00:16:59If they're believers or not believers,
00:17:01you do not make them work.
00:17:03Then it continues.
00:17:05Nor your cattle.
00:17:06So not even your animals.
00:17:08You got animals.
00:17:09Don't make them work and do anything on the Sabbath either.
00:17:12Give them a day of rest.
00:17:15Then it continues.
00:17:17Nor your stranger who is within your gates.
00:17:21So someone is staying with you.
00:17:22You got guests.
00:17:23Don't make them work.
00:17:25Don't hire people on the Sabbath.
00:17:28Don't put anyone to work.
00:17:29Not your family.
00:17:30Not your animals.
00:17:31Not your guests.
00:17:32Not people who work for you.
00:17:33Your employees.
00:17:34None of them.
00:17:36This is all contained within this fourth commandment.
00:17:39Don't make any of them work.
00:17:43And then we're told within this very same commandment.
00:17:45Why we are to consecrate and make holy and remember the Sabbath day.
00:17:53It continues.
00:17:54It says,
00:17:54For in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day.
00:18:02So why do we remember the seventh day?
00:18:05And why do we keep it holy?
00:18:07Because Yahweh made everything in existence in six days.
00:18:12And then he, Yahweh himself, rested on the seventh day of creation.
00:18:21Yahweh rested.
00:18:22So we remember Yahweh because we love him and we want to remember what he did as our creator.
00:18:29We rest in memoriam of what Yahweh did during creation.
00:18:36That is, create everything and then rest.
00:18:38So now we, imitating him, like we should be doing, we work for six days in our life and then rest on the seventh, just like Yahweh did back in creation.
00:18:50And then finally it continues and it says, therefore, why therefore?
00:18:55Because therefore, since Yahweh made the heavens and the earth and rested on the seventh day, therefore Yahweh blessed the seventh, the Sabbath day and set it apart.
00:19:04So Yahweh himself took this very day of the week and blessed it.
00:19:10How many other days in scripture do you ever see being blessed by the almighty creator of heaven and earth?
00:19:19How many days?
00:19:20Does it ever say the first day of the week was blessed by Yahweh?
00:19:24I mean, I haven't found it.
00:19:26And I've, I've looked a lot.
00:19:28And I'm not going to say I'm perfect that I know every word of every translation of the scriptures.
00:19:33So maybe I've missed it.
00:19:35But I have yet to find a verse where it says that Yahweh blessed the first day of the week.
00:19:42However, many times, and here's one example.
00:19:45It does say that Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day.
00:19:50He blessed the seventh day of the week.
00:19:55So Yahweh himself blessed the Sabbath day, thereby making it holy.
00:20:02And it goes on in scripture to say that the Sabbath is an everlasting covenant between Yahweh and his people.
00:20:11From Exodus chapter 31, verses 13 through 17.
00:20:16Speak to the children of Israel, saying,
00:20:19My Sabbaths you are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations,
00:20:27to know that I, Yahweh, am setting you apart, and you shall guard the Sabbath, for it is set apart to you.
00:20:35Six days work is done, and on the seventh is a Sabbath of rest, set apart to Yahweh.
00:20:44And the children of Israel shall guard the Sabbath to perform the Sabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant.
00:20:54Between me and the children of Israel, it is a sign forever.
00:20:59For in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.
00:21:09Wow, so much in there.
00:21:11We did cut out parts of this just to shorten it down for the slide.
00:21:14Go check it out for yourself in your own translation if you would like those parts that were truncated or abridged, I guess you could say.
00:21:21But here, we see, and this isn't the only section in Scripture, but we see that the Sabbath is something we are to continue to guard,
00:21:31that we are to guard it forever throughout our generations.
00:21:34It's an everlasting covenant between us and Yahweh.
00:21:40It's not, for those of you who don't understand what everlasting means,
00:21:45okay, everlasting does not mean for a couple of years.
00:21:49No, everlasting does not mean for a few centuries.
00:21:56No, everlasting does not mean, well, you know, just until the Messiah comes, then it's gone.
00:22:05No, everlasting means forever.
00:22:09So, again, if you're having trouble with that, please email us so we can help walk you through this about what everlasting means.
00:22:20But this Sabbath covenant, this sign between us and Yahweh, it is everlasting.
00:22:26We are to observe it and guard it and make it holy throughout our generations,
00:22:32not just our own personal generation, but the generation that comes after us,
00:22:37and the generation that comes after them, and the one after them, and the one after them, forever.
00:22:45So, this is not something that can be changed.
00:22:48It's not something that has been changed.
00:22:50But again, in Scripture, Isaiah chapter 56, verses 1 through 7.
00:22:55Thus said Yahweh,
00:22:58Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who becomes strong in it,
00:23:03guarding the Sabbath, lest he profane it.
00:23:06To the eunuchs who guard my Sabbaths, and have chosen what pleases me, and are holding on to my covenant,
00:23:12to them I shall give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters.
00:23:19Also, the sons of the foreigner, who join themselves to Yahweh, to serve him and to love the name of Yahweh,
00:23:29to be his servants, all who guard the Sabbath and not profane it, and are holding on to my covenant.
00:23:37Them I shall bring to my set-apart mountain, and let them rejoice in my house of prayer.
00:23:44This is a bombshell, especially this last part right here.
00:23:52I mean, it's good news for the eunuchs in the first part, too.
00:23:55But, here in this last section here, it talks about the foreigner who comes in and joins the people of Yahweh.
00:24:04He joins themselves to Yahweh, who obey him, who serve him, who worship him,
00:24:11who do the things that he commands, things like the Sabbath.
00:24:16So, this is not just the Sabbath for the Jews.
00:24:21This is not the Jewish Sabbath.
00:24:24Once again, Jews are someone who, when I say Jews, those within Judaism,
00:24:31but Jews do observe the biblical Sabbath, but it's not just for the Jews.
00:24:38It's not the Jewish Sabbath.
00:24:39It's the Sabbath of Yahweh.
00:24:41That's how the Bible puts it.
00:24:43And it says here, and in other places, too,
00:24:45the foreigner who joins themselves to Yahweh and observes things that he has commanded,
00:24:49like the seventh-day Sabbath,
00:24:51they are the people of Yahweh,
00:24:55and they are the ones that he will bring to his holy mountain
00:24:58and let them rejoice in his house of prayer.
00:25:03Once again,
00:25:06Ezekiel chapter 20, two different sections here.
00:25:09Ezekiel chapter 20, verses 11 through 13.
00:25:11And I also gave them my Sabbath to be a sign between them and me
00:25:17to know that I am Yahweh who sets them apart.
00:25:20But the house of Yisrael rebelled against me,
00:25:23and they greatly profaned my Sabbath.
00:25:26Ezekiel chapter 20, verses 19 through 21.
00:25:30I am Yahweh, set apart my Sabbath,
00:25:34and they shall be a sign between me and you
00:25:37to know that I am Yahweh your Elohim.
00:25:42But the children rebelled against me.
00:25:44They profaned my Sabbath.
00:25:46So the Sabbath, the fourth command,
00:25:49is very important to Yahweh.
00:25:53As we saw, it's an everlasting covenant,
00:25:55and there's various and multiple key points and takeaways
00:25:59that we can take from this particular teaching,
00:26:02at least even so far.
00:26:04Number one,
00:26:06and these are things that we are told within
00:26:07the fourth commandment itself,
00:26:10for the most part,
00:26:12and there's some others we got from the other scriptures,
00:26:14but number one is the only one of the Ten Commandments
00:26:17where we are specifically told to remember this.
00:26:23Now again, we should remember all the Ten Commandments
00:26:25because they're all important.
00:26:29They're all very serious commands
00:26:31that we should take very, very seriously.
00:26:34Murder, adultery, idolatry, etc., etc.
00:26:38But this is the only one we are specifically told
00:26:41in the commandment to remember.
00:26:44Number two,
00:26:45the Sabbath is designated as a day of rest.
00:26:49Now keep that in mind.
00:26:52How in Scripture is the Sabbath day defined?
00:26:56It's defined as a day of rest.
00:27:00Yeah, obviously there's other things that go along with it too,
00:27:03but Scripture defines the Sabbath as a day of rest.
00:27:06We saw, that's what the word Sabbath actually means.
00:27:10When you get into other sections of Scripture,
00:27:14when you get into conversations with people,
00:27:16and they say,
00:27:17well, look at this evidence right here,
00:27:19and they want to point to another day
00:27:20as being the new Sabbath,
00:27:23are they pointing to a day of rest?
00:27:26Or are they trying to point out something else
00:27:28that they do nowadays,
00:27:30but it would be anachronistic to say
00:27:34that's proof back then
00:27:36of a change in the Sabbath?
00:27:39No.
00:27:40Scripture defines the Sabbath as a day of rest.
00:27:43Just to continue on this point real quick,
00:27:47what day of the week is the day of worship?
00:27:51I mean, think about that and answer truthfully
00:27:53just a moment.
00:27:54You can even let us know down in the comments below.
00:27:56Which day of the week is the day for worship?
00:27:59All right, time's up.
00:28:01The day of worship during the week is every day.
00:28:06It's not the Sabbath.
00:28:07It's not the day that we fellowship
00:28:09or get together one day a week,
00:28:12and that is the day for worship.
00:28:14No, we should be serving and worshiping Yahweh
00:28:17every single day.
00:28:19Now, what is the day of the week
00:28:22where we fellowship?
00:28:24Same answer.
00:28:25Again, every single day
00:28:26should be a day of fellowship.
00:28:30I mean, we got work,
00:28:31we got family and stuff like that,
00:28:32so we can't get together every day,
00:28:34but it doesn't, you know,
00:28:35prohibit getting together every day
00:28:37or getting together on a Monday
00:28:39or a Thursday.
00:28:41We can't just, you know,
00:28:42hold off until the Sabbath.
00:28:44No, every day is an opportunity for fellowship.
00:28:49In fact, in the Brit Hadashah,
00:28:51it says they were gathering together
00:28:53and breaking bread daily.
00:28:56Just because they were breaking bread,
00:28:57that is no evidence for a change in a Sabbath.
00:29:02Again, Scripture defines Sabbath
00:29:05as a day of rest.
00:29:08So unless it says the new day of rest
00:29:11is this day, there's been no change.
00:29:16Day of rest.
00:29:17That's how Scripture defines Sabbath as.
00:29:20The other six days,
00:29:21we are supposed to be working.
00:29:24That's how you get the contrast there
00:29:26between the normal every day,
00:29:29six day portion of the week
00:29:30and then the Sabbath day.
00:29:32But the Sabbath day is defined
00:29:33specifically as a day of rest in Scripture.
00:29:37So remember that for your future studies
00:29:39and your future conversations
00:29:41about this particular subject.
00:29:43Number three,
00:29:44the Sabbath is a memoriam of the rest day
00:29:47that Yahweh took at the end
00:29:49of the creation week.
00:29:52Now, history didn't suddenly change
00:29:55and now Yahweh took off
00:29:59and took a rest on the first day of the week.
00:30:01No.
00:30:02It will always be the fact
00:30:04that Yahweh rested on the seventh day.
00:30:06So therefore,
00:30:08the Sabbath will always be on the seventh day
00:30:10because the Sabbath is a memoriam
00:30:12of the rest day
00:30:13that Yahweh took
00:30:15at the end of the creation week.
00:30:18Number four,
00:30:19the Sabbath day is the only day of the week
00:30:21in Scripture
00:30:22that has a name
00:30:24instead of a number.
00:30:25Every other day of the week
00:30:27is noted by the number
00:30:31or which day of the week it is,
00:30:34like the first day, second day, third day, fourth day,
00:30:36fifth day, sixth day.
00:30:37Then we get to the seventh day
00:30:39and sometimes it's called the seventh day
00:30:40but it's also called the Sabbath, Shabbat.
00:30:45It's the only day of the week
00:30:46in Scripture
00:30:47that actually has a name.
00:30:50If for some reason
00:30:52I missed this too
00:30:54and you can find Scripture
00:30:55that talks about a day of the week
00:30:57having a name,
00:30:58please point that out to me.
00:30:59I have been corrected in the past
00:31:02and I appreciate that
00:31:04because we're all wiser now
00:31:06for being corrected
00:31:08so if there's a name for a day in the week
00:31:11that I have somehow missed in Scripture
00:31:12let me know
00:31:13but as it stands right now
00:31:14the Sabbath is the only day of the week
00:31:17that has a name
00:31:18instead of a number.
00:31:20Number five,
00:31:21the Sabbath is a sign
00:31:22between Yahweh
00:31:23and those who are His people.
00:31:26We saw that in Scripture
00:31:27and it was just a small selection
00:31:29because there's other verses
00:31:30that say pretty much the same thing.
00:31:32It's a covenant.
00:31:33It's a sign between Yahweh and His people
00:31:35and it's not just a specific ethnicity.
00:31:39It's for anyone.
00:31:40We saw that Scripture earlier
00:31:42that from Ezekiel
00:31:44I think it was Ezekiel
00:31:46but I may be misspeaking
00:31:47where it says that
00:31:49the foreigner
00:31:50if they join themselves to Yahweh
00:31:52and serve Him
00:31:53and obey Him
00:31:54and do His commandments
00:31:54including the Sabbath
00:31:57so it's for anyone
00:31:59who's His people
00:32:00and it's not based on
00:32:01bloodlines
00:32:02or genetics at all.
00:32:05And we're also told
00:32:06that Yahweh specifically
00:32:07blessed the Sabbath day.
00:32:09No other day in Scripture.
00:32:11Not the first day.
00:32:12Not the fourth day.
00:32:14The Sabbath day.
00:32:15That is the day
00:32:16that Yahweh
00:32:17specifically blessed.
00:32:20And finally
00:32:21the Sabbath day
00:32:22refers to the
00:32:23seventh day of the week.
00:32:25when you look at Scripture
00:32:26and every single time
00:32:28it talks about
00:32:29the Sabbath day.
00:32:31It is always
00:32:33in every single instance
00:32:35from the book of Genesis
00:32:37all the way through
00:32:38the book of Revelation
00:32:39every single time
00:32:41it mentions the word
00:32:42Sabbath
00:32:42it is always referring
00:32:44to the seventh day
00:32:46of the week.
00:32:48There's no getting
00:32:50around it.
00:32:51It doesn't refer to
00:32:52any other day
00:32:53as the Sabbath
00:32:53it's always
00:32:55the seventh day
00:32:56of the week.
00:32:59But what about
00:33:00Yeshua and the Apostles?
00:33:01Did something change?
00:33:03Did they do
00:33:03something different?
00:33:04Did they
00:33:05do things differently?
00:33:07Let's look at that.
00:33:08Was the
00:33:09Sabbath sustained
00:33:10or was the
00:33:11Sabbath changed?
00:33:12We look at
00:33:13Mark chapter 6
00:33:14verse 2
00:33:14And Sabbath
00:33:16having come
00:33:17he
00:33:17referring to Yeshua
00:33:18began to teach
00:33:20in the congregation
00:33:20and many who heard
00:33:22him were astonished.
00:33:23Luke chapter 4
00:33:24verse 16
00:33:25And he
00:33:26Yeshua
00:33:26came to Nazareth
00:33:28where he had been
00:33:29brought up
00:33:29and according to
00:33:30his practice
00:33:31he went into
00:33:32the congregation
00:33:33on the Sabbath day
00:33:35and stood up
00:33:36to read.
00:33:37Luke chapter 6
00:33:38verse 6
00:33:39And it
00:33:40also came to be
00:33:41on another Sabbath
00:33:42that he entered
00:33:43into the congregation
00:33:45and taught.
00:33:47We find this
00:33:48in other verses
00:33:49as well
00:33:50so it's
00:33:50not just these three
00:33:52but many verses
00:33:53we see
00:33:54Yeshua
00:33:55celebrating
00:33:56and keeping
00:33:57Shabbat.
00:33:59And this should come
00:33:59as no surprise
00:34:00because Yeshua
00:34:01was our
00:34:02spotless Lamb
00:34:04He was sinless
00:34:05He did not break
00:34:06anything in the Torah.
00:34:08Remember
00:34:09sin
00:34:09as defined
00:34:10by scripture
00:34:11is the
00:34:12breaking
00:34:12of the Torah.
00:34:13What is one
00:34:14of those things
00:34:14that is contained
00:34:15within the Torah?
00:34:17The keeping
00:34:17of the
00:34:18seventh day
00:34:19Sabbath.
00:34:20Yeshua
00:34:20kept the
00:34:21seventh day
00:34:22Sabbath
00:34:23all his life.
00:34:25That's the example
00:34:26that he set
00:34:27for us
00:34:28was keeping
00:34:29the seventh
00:34:29day Sabbath.
00:34:31A nerdy point
00:34:32to bring up
00:34:33real quick
00:34:33if you're
00:34:33a nerd like me
00:34:34but right here
00:34:35in these verses
00:34:36where it says
00:34:36congregation
00:34:37it could
00:34:38also say
00:34:39assembly
00:34:40it could
00:34:40say
00:34:40fellowship
00:34:41it could
00:34:41say
00:34:41church
00:34:42or it
00:34:42could
00:34:42even
00:34:43say
00:34:43synagogue
00:34:44this is
00:34:45something
00:34:45that's
00:34:45not really
00:34:46the temple
00:34:47but just
00:34:47a gathering
00:34:48place
00:34:48where people
00:34:49went together
00:34:51to gather
00:34:51on the
00:34:53Sabbath
00:34:54to read
00:34:54the Torah
00:34:55to read
00:34:55scriptures
00:34:56to learn
00:34:57from a
00:34:57teaching
00:34:57things like
00:34:58that.
00:34:59That's what
00:35:00the congregation
00:35:01there means
00:35:01but this
00:35:02word
00:35:02Sabbath
00:35:03is the
00:35:04Greek
00:35:05word
00:35:05now we're
00:35:06in the
00:35:06Brit Hadashah
00:35:07is the
00:35:08Greek

00:35:08G4521
00:35:10sabbaton
00:35:12sabbaton
00:35:13and it
00:35:14means
00:35:15pretty much
00:35:16what you
00:35:16already think
00:35:17it means
00:35:17it means
00:35:18the day
00:35:19of rest
00:35:19the weekly
00:35:20day of rest
00:35:21the seventh
00:35:22day of the
00:35:23week.
00:35:24Here's your
00:35:24outline of
00:35:25biblical usage
00:35:26from

00:36:15now we
00:36:16said before
00:36:17that Yeshua
00:36:18was our
00:36:19spotless
00:36:20lamb
00:36:20because he
00:36:21did not
00:36:21sin
00:36:22he was
00:36:22sinless
00:36:23which made
00:36:24him the
00:36:25acceptable
00:36:26sacrifice
00:36:26for our
00:36:27sins
00:36:28he could
00:36:29not have
00:36:29spot or
00:36:30blemish or
00:36:31else he
00:36:31would not
00:36:31be an
00:36:32acceptable
00:36:32sacrifice
00:36:33and
00:36:35like we
00:36:36said
00:36:36him being
00:36:38sinless
00:36:39that means
00:36:39he did
00:36:39not sin
00:36:40he did
00:36:40not break
00:36:41anything
00:36:42of the
00:36:43Torah
00:36:43and in
00:36:44fact
00:36:44he told
00:36:45us
00:36:45directly
00:36:46when he
00:36:47was here
00:36:47that he
00:36:48did not
00:36:49come to
00:36:50destroy
00:36:50the Torah
00:36:51or do
00:36:52away
00:36:52with the
00:36:53Torah
00:36:53this is a
00:36:54popular one
00:36:55one you
00:36:55probably already
00:36:56know
00:36:56but we'll
00:36:57recover
00:36:57I'm sorry
00:36:58we'll
00:36:58cover it
00:36:59again
00:36:59because I
00:37:01think it's
00:37:01important to
00:37:02go over
00:37:02this is
00:37:03Matthew 5
00:37:04chapters
00:37:04I'm sorry
00:37:05Matthew chapter
00:37:065 verses
00:37:0617 through
00:37:0719
00:37:08this is Yeshua
00:37:09speaking and he
00:37:10says quote
00:37:11do not think
00:37:13that I have
00:37:14come to destroy
00:37:15the Torah
00:37:15or the
00:37:16prophets
00:37:16I did not
00:37:17come to
00:37:17destroy
00:37:18but to
00:37:19complete
00:37:20for truly
00:37:21I say to
00:37:22you
00:37:22till the
00:37:23heaven and
00:37:23the earth
00:37:24pass away
00:37:24one yod
00:37:25or one
00:37:26tittle
00:37:26shall by
00:37:27no means
00:37:27pass from
00:37:28the Torah
00:37:28till all
00:37:29be done
00:37:30whoever
00:37:31then breaks
00:37:32one of the
00:37:33least of
00:37:34these commands
00:37:34and teaches
00:37:35men so
00:37:36shall be
00:37:37called least
00:37:38in the
00:37:38rain of
00:37:39the heavens
00:37:39but whoever
00:37:40does and
00:37:41teaches them
00:37:42he shall be
00:37:42called great
00:37:43in the
00:37:44rain of
00:37:45the heavens
00:37:45so Yeshua
00:37:47himself says
00:37:48that he did
00:37:49not come to
00:37:49do away
00:37:49with the
00:37:50Torah
00:37:50and what's

00:38:13his followers
00:38:14his taught ones
00:38:15the ones who
00:38:16went around
00:38:16with him
00:38:17learning from

00:55:10that
00:55:10and
00:55:12the
00:55:12first
00:55:12day
00:55:12is
00:55:13never
00:55:13referred
00:55:14to
00:55:14as being blessed by Yahweh or blessed by anyone else in Scripture.
00:55:20It's just referred to as the, like the other five work days,
00:55:25it's just referred to as the first day.
00:55:28And finally, to say that the Sabbath or the day of rest was changed to Sunday
00:55:32is simply an exercise in exegesis,
00:55:36which means that you're reading into Scripture or reading into the text
00:55:39what it is that you want it to say.
00:55:44Now, once again, we didn't put it in this teaching for the sake of time,
00:55:49but if you want to see the quotes,
00:55:50you can go look at the notes that we took for the subject on our website,
00:55:54GodHonestTruth.com,
00:55:55and there are a ton of quotes on there from Catholics saying,
00:56:02yeah, we changed it.
00:56:03We had the authority.
00:56:04We overruled Scripture.
00:56:06We changed the Sabbath.
00:56:08Don't believe me?
00:56:09Go look at our notes, and there's almost 80 pages, but it's there.
00:56:14They're just blatant about it.
00:56:15They say, yeah, we changed it.
00:56:17They think they had the authority to change the Sabbath,
00:56:20and they fully admit that.
00:56:22But they didn't.
00:56:25But for those of us who are Protestants, non-Catholics,
00:56:28to say that the Sabbath has been changed to Sunday,
00:56:30to the first day of the week,
00:56:32and then try to provide Scripture,
00:56:35it never works.
00:56:36Not when you look at it and you take it in the context
00:56:39and you perform proper hermeneutics.
00:56:43No.
00:56:44To say it's been changed to Sunday is just an eisegesis.
00:56:47It's a reading into the text what you want it to say
00:56:50instead of what the text of Scripture actually says.
00:56:54So, in summary,
00:56:58the Fourth Commandment carries the same weight and authority
00:57:01as murder, adultery, and idolatry.
00:57:04That's how serious Yahweh wants us to take
00:57:07the Fourth Commandment about the Sabbath.
00:57:10Sadly, the Fourth Commandment, like we said,
00:57:12is often the least remembered and the least observed,
00:57:15if ever observed, in modern Christian practice.
00:57:18It's the only one of the Ten Commandments
00:57:20that we are specifically told to remember.
00:57:23The Sabbath is designated as a day of rest.
00:57:26That's what Sabbath means.
00:57:28It means rest.
00:57:30Not work.
00:57:31Rest.
00:57:32The Sabbath day refers to the seventh day of the week.
00:57:35And every single instance in Scripture
00:57:37where the word Sabbath is used,
00:57:39it's referring to that seventh day of the week.
00:57:42Not the first.
00:57:44The Sabbath.
00:57:45The Sabbath is a memoriam of the rest
00:57:48that Yahweh took at the end of the creation week.
00:57:53The Sabbath is a sign between Yahweh
00:57:55and those who are His people,
00:57:57even the foreigners who join up.
00:57:59It's not an ethnic thing.
00:58:00It's not a genetic DNA thing.
00:58:03No, it's all those who want to be in covenant with
00:58:06and worship and serve Yahweh,
00:58:09including observing and guarding
00:58:12and making holy His Sabbath.
00:58:15We're told that Yahweh specifically blessed
00:58:18the seventh-day Sabbath.
00:58:21Not the first day, the seventh day.
00:58:23He blessed the Sabbath day.
00:58:25Yeshua set the example of keeping the Sabbath,
00:58:29and we should emulate Yeshua's example
00:58:31and keep the seventh-day Sabbath.
00:58:33The apostles and the first believers,
00:58:36they also kept the seventh-day Sabbath,
00:58:38not the first day.
00:58:40The early believers kept the Sabbath.
00:58:43Again, we had to cut it down for the sake of time,
00:58:46but look at the evidence from the early believers,
00:58:49those within the first, second, third centuries.
00:58:52They kept the seventh-day Sabbath,
00:58:55not the first day.
00:58:57And the seventh-day Sabbath of Scripture
00:58:59is an everlasting, meaning forever,
00:59:02covenant and sign between Yahweh and His people.
00:59:07And that's just the God honest truth.
