Question: Why are we here today?
Answer: We were told to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy
The 4th
Commandment is a part of the covenant given to us at mount Sinai in the 3rd
month, Sivan
Ex. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. [9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
[10] But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy
God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy
son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor
thy stranger that is "within thy gates":
[11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the
sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD
blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Lev. 23: [3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy
convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath
of the LORD "in all your dwellings".
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.
[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.
Ezek. 20 [12] Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them,
that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
[20] And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign
between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.
------------
The Gentiles keep Sabbath also:
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.
[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.
[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
Acts 15 [21] For
Moses of old time 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.
Messiah Yeshua speaking of the future:
Matt.24
[20] But pray ye that your flight
be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day:
We read
from the law (Moses) and the prophets every Sabbath.
60 times
in the Gospels and letters it uses the word Sabbath

Luke 24
[1] Now upon the first
day of the week, very early in the morning, (which was the the
third day since these things were done, vs. 21) they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and
certain others with them.
[2] And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
[3] And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
[4] And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold,
two men stood by them in shining garments:
[5] And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth,
they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
[6] He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake
unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
[7] Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful
men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
[8] And they remembered his words,
[9] And returned from the sepulchre, and told
all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
[10] It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary
the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these
things unto the apostles.
[11] And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed
them not.
[12] Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes
laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come
to pass.
[13] And, behold, two
of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was
from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
[14] And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
[15] And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Yeshua / Jesus himself
drew near, and went with them.
[16] But their eyes were holden that they
should not know him.
[17] And he said unto them, What manner of
communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
[18] And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only
a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass
therein these days?
[19] And he said unto them, What things? And
they said unto him, Concerning Yeshua / Jesus of
Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the
people:
[20] And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be
condemned to death, and have crucified him.
[21] But we trusted that it had been he
which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
[22] Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished,
which were early at the sepulchre;
[23] And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had
also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
[24] And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but
him they saw not.
[25] Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart
to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
[26] Ought not Messiah / Christ to have suffered these
things, and to enter into his glory?
[27] And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the
things concerning himself.
[28] And they drew nigh unto the village, whither
they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
[29] But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward
evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
[30] And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread,
and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
[31] And their eyes were opened, and they knew him;
and he vanished out of their sight.
[32] And they said one to another,
Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while
he opened to us the scriptures?
[33] And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and
found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
[34] Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
[35] And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was
known of them in breaking of bread.
[36] And as they thus spake, Yeshua / Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
[37] But they were terrified and affrighted, and
supposed that they had seen a spirit.
[38] And he said unto them, Why are ye
troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
[39] Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me
have.
[40] And when he had thus spoken, he shewed
them his hands and his feet.
[41] And while they yet believed not for joy, and
wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
[42] And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
[43] And he took it, and did eat before them.
[44] And he said unto them, These
are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet
with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which
were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms,
concerning me.
[45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures,
[46] And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Messiah /Christ to suffer, and to rise from the
dead the third day:
[47] And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name
among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
[48] And ye are witnesses of these things.
[49] And, behold, I
send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of
Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
[50] And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and
he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
[51] And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from
them, and carried up into heaven.
[52] And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
[53] And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.
Amen.
----------------------------------
Acts 1
[1] The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
[2] Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy
Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
[3] To whom also he shewed himself alive after his
passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them
forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
[4] And, being assembled together with them,
commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the
promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard
of me.
[5] For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the
Holy Ghost not many days hence.
[6] When they therefore were come together, they asked of
him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
[7] And he said unto them, It is not for you to know
the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
[8] But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
[9] And when he had spoken these things, while they
beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
[10] And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven
as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
[11] Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven,
shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
[12] Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is
from Jerusalem a sabbath
day's journey.
[13] And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode
both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew,
and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
10 days
later
Acts 2
[1] And when the day of Pentecost (50) was fully come,
they were all with one accord in one place.
[2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as
of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house
where they were sitting.
[3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it
sat upon each of them.
[4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak
with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
[5] And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every
nation under heaven.
[6] Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and
were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
[7] And they were all amazed and marvelled,
saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
[8] And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
[9] Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea,
and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
[10] Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in
the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
[11] Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them
speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
[12] And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another,
What meaneth this?
[13] Others mocking said, These men are full of
new wine.
[14] But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and
said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this
known unto you, and hearken to my words:
[15] For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the
third hour of the day.
[16] But this is that which was spoken by the
prophet Joel;
[33]
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the
Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see
and hear.
[39] For
the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off,
even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Lev. 23
[1] And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye
shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even
these are my feasts.
[3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy
convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath
of the LORD in all your dwellings.
[4] These are the feasts of the LORD, even
holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
[5] In the fourteenth day
of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.
[6] And on the fifteenth day
of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye
must eat unleavened bread.
[7] In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
[8] But ye shall offer an offering made by fire
unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
[9] And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
[10] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be
come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof,
then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of
your harvest unto the priest:
[11] And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for
you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall
wave it.
[12] And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the
first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
[13] And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine
flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine,
the fourth part of an hin.
[14] And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until
the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a
statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
[15] And ye shall count unto you from the
morrow after the sabbath,
from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
[16] Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall
offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
[17] Ye shall bring out of your habitations two
wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
[18] And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs
without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they
shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and
their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.
[19] Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering,
and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
[20] And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the
two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
[21] And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame
day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye
shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for
ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
[22] And when ye reap the harvest of your land,
thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of
thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am
the LORD your God.
