Sunday, has become “the Day of the Lord” to most Christians and thus they grow up believing like I did that Sunday is the Sabbath. The definition of the word Sabbath is:
Definition of SABBATH
a. the seventh day of the week observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening as a day of rest and worship by Jews and some Christians
b. Sunday observed among Christians as a day of rest and worship, or the Day of the Lord.
2: a time of rest (Miriam Webster online dictionary)
Notice in Genesis 2:3 that God "ended" or completed His work of creation by resting on the seventh day of the week. The word "Sabbath" is a derivative of the Hebrew word Shabath, which literally means "rest" or "cessation." God created the Sabbath by resting on this day and ceasing from creating material things. And He "blessed" and "sanctified"—that is, set apart for holy use—this day and no other! By blessing and sanctifying the seventh-day Sabbath, God showed that His presence is IN this day in a very special way. For of all the days of the week, this one ALONE points to Him in a unique way as the true God, the One who created and governs the entire universe. Thus the Sabbath identifies the true God and His claim of ultimate sovereignty. It is Gods seal and sign for his people. *Ezekiel 20:12.
The Seventh-day Sabbath Was Made for Everyone
A multitude of Christians call God’s fourth commandment the “Jewish Sabbath.” But nowhere is this expression found in the Bible. The seventh day is called “the Sabbath of the Lord,” and it is never called “the Sabbath of the Jews” (Exodus 20:10). Christ also taught that “the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. (Mark 2:27). It was never done away with as some readers of the new testament believe from the book of Colossians.
Let no man judge you therefore….
Colossians 2:16 says
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days.
"Notice these keywords are all lumped together as if they fit together… “in meat, or in drink” fits into the sacrificial system, also if you read the books of Moses you will see this phrase repeated many times in reference to the sacrifices of “meat and drink” – Some claim that this verse however is saying that it doesn't really matter what day you keep, don’t judge others based on their “sabbaths”. Fact, it does say sabbath so one could get that idea, but the fact that the verse also says “new moon” and “sabbath days” plural, should lead you to a wholly different conclusion, such as that the author is referring again to the sacrificial system where holy days, and yearly sabbaths were kept by the Jews. This fits perfectly into the context while the seventh day sabbath doesn’t fit at all into this verse for the seventh day sabbath is in no way associated with the new moon and in no way associated with the other aspects of what is being described.
There are two kinds of sabbaths in the bible. The seventh-day Sabbath written by God in the ten commandments and the yearly sabbaths which were kept by the Jews. These verses are speaking of the ceremonial feasts of the Lord, not the seventh day sabbath. The feasts of the Lord were a shadow of Christ’s coming… that is why they were done away with or a better interpretation “fulfilled at the cross.” Sunday-keepers believe these verses speak of the seventh day sabbath… this however does not fit in with the sacrificial symbolism and the mosaic law. The sabbath was part of the ten commandment law not the mosaic law, the mosaic law was done away with NOT the ten commandment law. Christians mix the two and that is how they get themselves in trouble.
The seventh day sabbath could not be a “shadow of things to come” as the sabbath was instituted before sin as stated above and therefore could NOT be shadows before sin existed. It doesn’t even make sense, what would the sabbath be a shadow of? And why would people before Christ’s time need rest but those of us after not need rest? Or is it, we just get to pick our own day now? None of this makes sense and whats more it is not an accurate interpretation."

Adam and Eve were the only two people who existed when God actually established the Sabbath. There were no Jews in the world until 2,000 years later, so it was never meant just for the Jews. Jesus uses the term “man” in the generic sense, referring to all mankind. The same word is used in connection with the institution of marriage that was also introduced at creation. Certainly no Christian can believe that marriage was made only for the Jews. Observing the Sabbath is both physical and spiritual action.
People look to bishops, to pastors, and to professors of theology, as their guides, instead of searching the Scriptures to learn their duty for themselves. It’s okay and sometimes necessary to seek such however personal study should never be neglected.
You will receive the blessings God has set for those who observe the seventh day of the week and keep it holy. It’s a time to remember God as our Creator and to teach our children about creation and God.
I look forward to the Sabbath each week and try to keep outside influences such as television and phone calls out unless they are related to Sabbath in some way. I do attend churches on Sunday sometime, having two days for God has increased the time we spend together and deepens my relationship with the God of my heart. I’m in love with God, I wish everyday was Sabbath!
