Welcome my listening friend, I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who loves you and gave his life for you. The Israelites in the Old Testament were required by God to observe seven annual feasts. All seven of these feasts are listed in one place in the Bible, Leviticus chapter 23 from verse 4 to verse 44. If you read that passage, all of it, you will discover that each of the seven feasts is dated according to the month. Let’s take for example the very fast of the seven, verse 5 of Leviticus 23, “In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord’s Passover”. Let’s take the second feast, the feast of the unleavened bread, verse 6, “And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of the unleavened bread.” Let’s take another feast at random, let us say the feast of the trumpets, verse 24, “Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month,” All seven feasts are dated according to the month. Let’s take the day of atonement, the highest of the seven, “Also on the tenth day of the seventh month.” What I’m trying to say without saying it is this, none of the ceremonial feasts were dated according to the week. They were all dated according to the month. But before Moses lists the seven feasts, he writes in verse three of Leviticus 23, “Six days shalt work be done but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; you shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.” Now you look at the wordings you realize, the week is introduced, six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest. According to the Bible, the Sabbath is the last day of the week. The first day of the week being Sunday, the last days the Sabbath. The Sabbath as a day of rest is identified and set apart in verse 3. It is dated according to the week. Every week there’ll be a Sabbath. The last day of that week. The seven feasts are dated according to the month. If we go back to the very first of the seven, the feast of Passover, listen again to verse five of Leviticus 23, “In the fourteenth day of the first month.” My listening friend, fourteenth day can come on a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. These feast days were not connected to the week. They were connected to the month. Which means that the seventh day Sabbath as the day of worship is absolutely different from the ceremonial sabbaths attached to all this feasts. There were seven ceremonial sabbaths, they could fall on any day of the week. What am I trying to say? The seventh day Sabbath, my listening friend, by God’s arrangement is absolutely different from any other day of the week. It is higher than any feast day that were celebrated in the past. By the way when Jesus Christ died, feast days are no longer necessary. But since the Sabbath day is not based on the month, it is not a feast day, it continues up to this very day and will continue in the world to come. Remember the Sabbath day my listening friend. It is not a feast day. It is not a ceremonial day. It is not dated according to the month. It is dated according to the week. All seven ceremonial feasts are dated according to the month. The ceremonial sabbaths could fall on any day of the week. But the Sabbath of creation, only falls on the seventh, because it is not a ceremonial day. My dear friend, learning truth, understanding truth, involves sinful honesty. May the spirit of God enlighten your mind, open your eyes, say the prayer of David in Psalm 119:18, “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.” And you will see in the law of God, the seventh day Sabbath. Keep it holy, and God will bless your life beyond your expectations. May the Lord bless you my dear friend, may the Lord make you a blessing, and may the Lord put a double blessing on your children, as you keep the Sabbath holy.
