Sabbath, the 7th day
Why we read from law and the
prophets every Sabbath. ( Saturday
)
Acts.13[13]
Now when Paul and his company loosed from
Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned
to Jerusalem.[14] But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in
Pisidia, and went into the synagogue
on the sabbath day, and sat down.[15] And after the reading of the law and
the prophets the rulers of the synagogue
sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation
for the people, say on.
Acts.15[21]
For Moses of old time
( The Torah )
hath in every city them that preach him,
being read in the synagogues every
sabbath day.
Luke.4[16]
And he, Yeshua / Jesus came to Nazareth, where
he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into
the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood
up for to read.[17] And there was
delivered unto him the book of the
prophet Esaias.
Acts.13:27
For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their
rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet
the voices of the prophets which are read every
sabbath day, they have fulfilled
them in condemning him.
Acts.13[42]
And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue,
the Gentiles
besought that
these words might be preached to them the next
sabbath.
[44]And the next sabbath day
came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
---------
My sabbaths ye shall keep: for
it is a sign
Exod. 31[
13] Speak thou also unto the
children of Israel, saying, Verily
my sabbaths ye shall keep: for
it is a sign between
me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD
that doth sanctify you. [ 14
] Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you:
every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth
any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.[
15] Six days may work be done;
but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth
any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.[
16] Wherefore the children of Israel
shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations,
for a perpetual covenant
.[17 ]
It is a sign between
me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven
and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

Some News:
John Hagee, on his
program just now, introduced his new book "In Defense of Israel,"
in which he claims "Jesus did not come to be the Messiah."
Hagee maintains
that the Jews did not so much reject Jesus as their Messiah as he refused to
be their Messiah.
Hagee believes that
one day the Jews will recognize Jesus as their Messiah. Until that day, however,
they can still be saved apart from faith in him.
http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Doctrines/john_hagees_heresy.htm
Hagee also affirms:
"If God blinded the Jewish people to the identity of Jesus
as Messiah, how could He send them to hell for not seeing what he had forbidden
them to see?"11 He continues, "All people will gain entrance into
heaven through Christ. The question is one of timing." -

Reluctant Messiah."

time for a "revaluation
of our walk with the Lord"
How did you do observing the Scriptures this
year?
2 Corinthians, chapter 13:5:

; prove
your own selves.

Remember me, O my God, for
good.

60 times in the Gospels and letters
it uses the word Sabbath!
"2": And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers,
and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
"3": And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the
law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part
they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.
"4": Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani,
Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud
voice unto the LORD their God.
"5": Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah,
Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God
for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above
all blessing and praise.
"6": Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the
heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are
therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and
the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
"7": Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest
him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;
"8": And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant
with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and
the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say,
to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:
"9": And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest
their cry by the Red sea;
"10": And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his
servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt
proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.
"11": And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went
through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest
into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
"12": Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and
in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they
should go.
"13": Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them
from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes
and commandments:
"14": And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst
them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:
"15": And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest
forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them
that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.
"16": But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their
necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,
"17": And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that
thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed
a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious
and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.
"18": Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This
is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;
"19": Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the
wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead
them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and
the way wherein they should go.
"20": Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest
not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.
"21": Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness,
so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled
not.
"22": Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide
them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the
king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.
"23": Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven,
and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to
their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.
"24": So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst
before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into
their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might
do with them as they would.
"25": And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed
houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit
trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted
themselves in thy great goodness.
"26": Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee,
and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified
against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.
"27": Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies,
who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee,
thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou
gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.
"28": But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore
leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion
over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them
from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;
"29": And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them
again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments,
but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;)
and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
"30": Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against
them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore
gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.
"31": Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly
consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.
"32": Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible
God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before
thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests,
and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time
of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
"33": Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou
hast done right, but we have done wickedly:
"34": Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers,
kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith
thou didst testify against them.
"35": For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy
great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou
gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.
"36": Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou
gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold,
we are servants in it:
"37": And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast
set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and
over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
"38": And because of all this
we make a sure covenant
, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto
it.
"29": They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into
a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the
servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our
Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;
"30": And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of
the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
"31": And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on
the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or
on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction
of every debt.
"32": Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly
with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;
"33": For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and
for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the
set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement
for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
"34": And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the
people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after
the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the
altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law:
"35": And to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits
of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD:
"36": Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is
written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring
to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our
God:
"37": And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and
our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto
the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our
ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all
the cities of our tillage.
"38": And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites,
when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the
tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
"39": For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring
the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers,
where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and
the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God
.
"2": And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves
to dwell at Jerusalem.
"3": Now these are the chief of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem:
but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities,
to wit, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinims, and the children
of Solomon's servants.
"28": And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both
out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;
"29": Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba
and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.
"30": And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified
the people, and the gates, and the wall.
"31": Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed
two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right
hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
"32": And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,
"33": And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
"34": Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
"35": And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah
the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of
Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:
"36": And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai,
Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the
man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.
"37": And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they
went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above
the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.
"38": And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against
them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond
the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;
"39": And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate,
and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah,
even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.
"40": So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the
house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:
"41": And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai,
Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
"42": And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan,
and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah
their overseer.
"43": Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced:
for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children
rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
"44": And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for
the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes,
to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law
for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the
Levites that waited.
"45": And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their
God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David,
and of Solomon his son.
"46": For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief
of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
"47": And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of
Nehemiah, gave
the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they
sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto
the children of Aaron.
"2": Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with
water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our
God turned the curse into a blessing.
"3": Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they
separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
"4": And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of
the chamber of the house of our God, was allied unto Tobiah:
"5": And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime
they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes
of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to
the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
"6": But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two
and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and
after certain days obtained I leave of the king:
"7": And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib
did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
"8": And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household
stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
"9": Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither
brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and
the frankincense.
"10": And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been
given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every
one to his field.
"11": Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house
of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
"12": Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine
and the oil unto the treasuries.
"13": And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest,
and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan
the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and
their office was to distribute unto their brethren.
"14": Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my
good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.
"15": In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses
on the sabbath
, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes,
and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the
sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.
"16": There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and
all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and
in Jerusalem.
"17": Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them,
What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
"18": Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this
evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning
the sabbath.
"19": And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began
to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and
charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of
my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on
the sabbath day.
"20": So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without
Jerusalem once or twice.
"21": Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge
ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time
forth came they no more on the sabbath.
"22": And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves,
and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day.
Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the
greatness of thy mercy.
"23": In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod,
of Ammon, and of Moab:
"24": And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and
could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each
people.
"25": And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain
of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye
shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto
your sons, or for yourselves.
"26": Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among
many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God
made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause
to sin.
"27": Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to
transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
"28": And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high
priest, was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from
me.
"29": Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood,
and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
"30": Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the
wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;
"31": And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the
firstfruits.
