Topic: The Sabbath and Cosmology and Sunday as the Mark of the Beast, Part 3 SubTopic: Sources of the week  Sectional topic: Astronomical arguments for the week part 2 Exo 20:9-10 KJV 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God.. The terms 'Six and Seven' remind us of the Genesis 1 account. One question that needs to be answered is 'How do we know which day is the Sabbath?  The genius of the biblical narrative is it's grammar. The nature of the grammar makes it such that the day, *though unknown by name* , can be clearly identifiable by position.  The term " *But the seventh day is the sabbath* "... Tells us whenever the sixth day is,  the Sabbath is the day following. The Nativity story tells us that the birth of Jesus was identified by a Star. Implying that those who were studying the sky where able to identify the day when Jesus was born through the study of Astronomy. The death of Jesus is sa...

Topic: The Sabbath and Cosmology and Sunday as the Mark of the Beast, Part 3 SubTopic: Sources of the week  Sectional topic: Astronomical arguments of the week part 1 Pierre LaPlace called the week "the most ancient monument of astronomical knowledge..." The week has been mostly describes as the creation of Jewish theology. However it is undeniable that the Sabbath day has been kept in the memories of the people through the Hebrew economy. Outside the Hebrew society it is the Germanic Tribes in Europe that had a seven day cycle, probably derived from the Helenestic culture through Alexandria  the capital city of the sciences in the 4th century BC. The Genesis account states the following with regards to the creation of the solar system: Gen 1:14-19 KJV 14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the he...

Topic: Sabbath and the Mark Of The Beast Part 2 Subtopic: The Sabbath as a defining apparatus. The term Mark of the beast is found in this verse: Rev 13:17 KJV And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. It's very clear from that verse, that we can not know what the mark of the beast is. However chapter 14 of the same book gives us a clue on how to think with regards to the mark of the beast: Rev 14:9-12 KJV *9* And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, *If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark* in his forehead, or in his hand, *10* The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: *11* And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: *and they have no rest day nor ni...

Topic: Sabbath and the Mark of the beast, Part 1 Subtopic: Identifying the Sabbath's ordained end as a judicial apparatus of redemption in the prophetic literature of the Hebrew Bible. Isa 58:2 KJV Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the *ordinances of justice;* they take delight in approaching to God. The ordinaces of Justice defines the method used to litigate offenders of the law.  The same method vindicates those that are loyal to the law. The Hebrew theory of salvation is Judicial. While the Papal one is meritocratic. Salvation is defined in the Hebrew Bible using Judicial language. The Sabbath is the mainframe for Salvation.  *Isa 56:1-2 KJV 1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. 2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth...

Topic: Sabbath as a test of loyalty Exo 16:4-5 KJV 4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, *that I may prove them,* whether they will walk in my law, or no. 5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. Manna was provided for ancient Israel as provision in the wilderness. It is at this time that the practicality of the  Sabbath and the Sabbath was introduced to the Israelites.  God gave it to them and in relation to the Sabbath they were to both follow the rules on Sabbath observance and follow the rules on how to care for Manna. The sixth day showed them that God can care for them so that they need not worry about providing for themselves on a Sabbath.  Exo 16:26-27 KJV 26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be ...

Topic: Sabbath and Contemporary Scholarship. What have others said about the Sabbath? God also made the Sabbath holy.[1] Gerhard  Hasel argues that four activities are associated with the seventh day in Genesis 2: (1) God had finished His creative work on that day; (2) God rested from all His creative work on that day; (3) God blessed that day; and (4) God made it holy.[2] This day alone he sanctified.[3]   The root קדשׁ  was used for the first time in connection with the creation of the Sabbath. [4]    When God is the subject of blessing (the verb  בּרך (barak)  is used), it means He is giving His presence; He grants prosperity, well-being, and future. His favor extends to every aspect of life, and His gracious blessings are even warranted by covenant [5] The Sabbath is holy because God fills it with His presence; therefore, the Sabbath is not just a day; but a Person [6] The Sabbath is teaching us to stop, to finish our work as God finished His and p...

Topic: Sabbath as typology of Eternity. The First creation account gives us two phases of creation. That is, the creation of spaces and the filing of spaces with objects.  Humans where created on the sixth day. The following day being the Sabbath day.   The Sabbath stands as a prefigurement of eternity(which is seen as endless time in the presence of God) because His Holiness is in it.  Holiness is a definition of God's presence¹, *Exo 3:5 KJV And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.* The Sabbath as time stands as a prefigurement of eternity, where we are told in Rev 21:3 KJV And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. Here we see the ushering in of eternity, the Sabbath is a typology of the greater reality of God being in time ...

Topic: Sabbath and Truth. Gen 2:3 KJV And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. The standard of knowing Christ as God and Creator is locked in the Sabbath day. Col 1:16 KJV For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: The Hebrews had a fascinating method of stating a truth through the use of a stylistic literary skill known as a *Hendiyaides*(sic).  This is a way of saying what something is through the use of two words joined together by an "and" eg Wickedness is defined as Sodom and Gomorrah, Universe is heaven and earth. Aquatic life is usually called "...the sea and everything in them..." This expression "he had rested from all his work which God created and made." is punctuated by the term "c...
