The Meaning of Rest - Walter Veith - Copenhagen October 2017

"Truth mixed with error is equivalent to all error, except that it is more innocent looking and, therefore, more dangerous." ~ H.A. Ironside

The significance of the Sabbath as a test cannot be overestimated. God could have chosen any memorial to His creative act, but He chose a memorial set in time: a weekly day of rest. Time cannot be eliminated in the same way that a physical memorial, such as a city or holy place, could be.

The knowledge of the seventh-day Sabbath has been preserved by God through the centuries since the days of Jesus and has been observed in many areas around the world. Never has there been a time in which God's people somewhere did not observe the seventh-day Sabbath.

If Christ Himself instituted the Sabbath day of rest for us (Mark 2:27), would He change it? Jesus kept the Sabbath day faithfully. The disciples of Jesus likewise kept the Sabbath day (Acts 13:14, 16:13). The seventh-day Sabbath is taught throughout the Bible, while Sunday sacredness is not mentioned once. If Christ or the apostles did not change the Sabbath, who did?

Read what Colossians 2 has to say about the Sabbath.

Behind the papal authority that changed the Sabbath is an even higher authority that wants to steal Christ’s claim on our lives. Satan was worshiped in pagan traditions under the symbol of the sun. He was the hidden one, the god behind the scenes. Sunday was the day dedicated to sun worship, but Christianity still adopted Sunday as the holy day:

"Sunday...so called because this day was anciently dedicated to the sun, or to its worship." "Sunday," Webster’s Dictionary.

"Sunday, so called because it was dedicated to the worship of the sun." McClintock and Strong, “Sunday," Biblical and Theological Encyclopedia, as quoted in Ray Cottrell, The True Sabbath (1942).

"Sunday (Dies Solis of the Roman calendar, ‘Day of the sun,’ being dedicated to the sun), the first Day of the week." Johann Jacob Herzog and Phillip Schaff, “Sunday,” The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge
