Seventh- day Sabbath in the Old Testament

Seventh- day Sabbath in the Old Testament

It is common to hear Christians refer Sunday as the Lord’s Day and find interpreting John’s statement accordingly, but there is no reference in the scriptures to Sunday as the Lord’s Day. Jesus claimed Sabbath as His Day in Mark 20:28.

The first day of the week is mention eight (8) times in the New Testament, but at no time it is called Sabbath. Read Mathew 28:1, mark 16:1-2-9, John 20:1, luck 24:1, 1 cor. 16:2, Arts 20:7.

1.                 The God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His works which God had created and make. Genesis 2:11.

2.                 For in six days the lord made the heavens and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. Exodus 20:11.

3.                 Six days you shall do all your work and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female servant and the stranger may be refreshed. Exodus 23:12.
