7th Day Sabbath Rediscovery!

Year of Godly Distinctness 2007; and Beyond

"And Yahweh saw everything He had made, and behold, it was good. And the evening and the morning was the sixth day.Gen.1:31 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day Yahweh ended His work which he had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And Yahweh blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because in it, He had rested from all His work which Yahweh created and made." Gen.2:1-3)

Topic: The Day in Creation that Yahweh Celebrated
Date: September 18, 2008

On the sixth day after Yahweh had instructed mankind on the types of food He had made available to us on the earth, He reviewed every thing He had made, and what He saw was very good. So the heavens and the earth were finished by then, and by the seventh day He ended the work which He had made. Subsequently, Yahweh blessed the seventh day and rested from all the works which He had made. In addition, He set it apart from the other six days which he had made for a specific purpose.. Do you know why the seventh Day is blessed and sanctified? The 7th Day was blessed and set apart from all the others since creation because Yahweh, who is blessed and set apart to Himself, had rested on that day and in that day from all His work. The word rested here means that there was an intermission, or a special holiday, or a sabbatism, or shabbbathown (shab-baw-thone) on the the seventh day - all these tell that He celebrated. Thus, the seventh day was the day in creation that Yahweh celebrated. Genesis 1:26-30

Yahweh, mankind's Creator and God, did not have a celebrated rest on the seventh day all by Himself, but, rather, He included all generations of the heavens and of the earth in His shabbathown.Thus, when Yahweh worked, His creation was involved, and when He shabbathown, His creation was i nvolved in His shabbathown too. So celebration on the seventh day was originated in Yahweh, continues in Yahweh, and was passed down to mankind on the seventh day, the day in creation that Yahweh celebrated.

Yahweh passed down to mankind (the earth of Yahweh) His shabbathown because He wanted all mankind to observe it throughout our generations. Thus, because mankind bears Yahweh's image, mankind may have fellowship with Him, and Vise Versa. Mankind in their roll as ruler on the earth, and ambassadors of Messiah, carry out His instructions so that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In Genesis 1: 26-28 we read Yahweh said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness ... and Yahweh blessed them and said, "Be Fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth." An important instruction/command was to conquer the earth in righteousness, to let Yahweh and His works be known throughout the earth so that the earth may love, respect, praise and worship Him; and shabbathown on the seventh day, the day in creation that Yahweh celebrated.

Today, as ruler on the earth in Messiah (Christ) mankind, apart from other scriptural teachings) would teach about Yahweh, and His works in Creation, as part of laying a solid Godly foundation in the hearts and minds of their generations; and in doing so would: be led by the Holy Spirit and the pure Word to: emphasize on our Creator, His name, works in shaping the physical universe, and with great pride in His accomplishments, pass down to them our Legacy namely, His shabbathown - the day in creation that Yahweh celebrated.

Mankind under the sovereignty of Yahweh through Yahshua Messiah would connect earth with heaven by showing appreciation and great respect for and a deeper love of Yahweh and Messiah, by considering Yahweh's handy work in Nature all around us; and in the universe as a whole. For example, in Psalm 8: 3, 4 and 9 the psalmist declared, "When I consider the heaven, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you have ordained. What is man...?" Again, "Yahweh, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth." Note: People need to know, and be reminded constantly about Yahweh's handy work, before they consider and learn to appreciate Him more and more each day. Another example of the effects of considering Yahweh's work in creation is found in Psalms 19. In it, the Psalmist considered the creation and covenants of Yahweh and said, "The heavens declare the glory of Yahweh, and the firmaments tell of His handy work. Day unto day it speaks out, and night unto night it shows knowledge..." It takes personal consideration and conviction to deeply love and highly appreciate Yahweh's magnificent and miraculous work in creation; before one sees oneself as a helpless speck of dust in the whole universe in need of Yahweh's mercy, love and grace. It is at this point that person may cry out and give Yahweh the honor, praise and worship He so deserves, and will shabbathown on the seventh day, the day in creation that Yahweh celebrated.

Like the psalmist, that one would say, "The law of Yahweh is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making the wise simple. The statues of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart, the commandment of the Lord is pure enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than the honey and the honeycomb." He/she would know also that the righteous of Yahweh is by faith of Yahshua the Messiah, and would return to Him, walk in confidence, and in obedience to His pure Word. He/she would know through the pure Word that the promises Yahweh made to Abraham was to Abraham and His seed and not seeds, and that His seed is MessiahYahshua (Christ Jesus). Gen. 12: 3, Gal. 3:16) He/she would know that as joint heir with Messiah he/she is Abraham's seed, and heir according to the promise. Gal3:29. He/she would know that as a son/daughter, the Spirit of Messiah is in the heart by Yahweh's permission which confirms that sonship and heir of Yahweh through Messiah (Christ) Gal. 3: 6-7). Also, he/she would know, as a true son/daughter, how to walk humbly before Yahweh in Messiah and would shabbathown - shab-baw-thone on the seventh day, and teach his/her generations to shabbathown, on the day in creation that Yahweh celebrated.

You will shabbathone on the seventh day in spite of the bias teachings against the observance of it because you will know the truth according to the pure Word, and that it set you free the moment you believed. Therefore, it is the pure Word rightly divided that helps us to identify traditions and customs, doctrines and dogmas that are not in line with it.. So return now to Yahweh and asked for mercy, and to be pardoned for your sins, and you will be forgiven and restored. Once you have done this, you may sabbathown- celebrate. When you know that you know that you are reinstated into the Sabbatarian Household of Yahweh under Messiah Yahshua, Head of His own house and Lord of His Sabbath) you will celebrate. When you know that you are part of a company of Yahweh's Sabbatarian generations, who since creation have been observing the Sabbath of Yahweh, your God, on the seventh day, you will celebrate. When you experience spiritual rest in Messiah, and know that He has given you rest from your dead works, a New Life, and feel that urge to demonstrate to the world His creative work in you, certainly, you will celebrate, and will celebrate every day and every moment of your life. When you know that it is the Christ (Messiah) in you who has caused you to cease from your own works by faith (like Yahweh did from His) you will celebrate. When you know that the full blessing of His Sabbath is received through your sincere celebration on His seventh day, and not by merely being present to impress people, you will celebrate. When you regulate your life so that you do secular work within the six working days, to meet that very special appointment with Yahweh through Messiah on the seventh day, you will sabbathown - celebrate. Yes, yes, Oh, yes, you will delight yourself in His sabbathown on the seventh day, the day in creation that Yahweh celebrated.

Any people of Yahweh in any Epoch will certainly and confidently have pleasure in celebrating with Yahweh on the seventh day what is most important to Him, and what the Omnipotent says we must delight ourselves in i.e, the Sabbath of the Lord Yahweh, our God. Being under grace is no excuse for ignoring your Creator's seventh day sabbathown. Do not be deceived any longer concerning celebrating the seventh day sabbath of Yahweh your God. If Yahweh is your God, then obey His Word, celebrate with Him under any circumstances on the day in creation that Yahweh celebrated. Amen.

Finally, in Isaiah 58:13, Yahweh is saying to you, If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holiday, and call the Sabbath a delight, the Holy of the Lord (Yahweh) honorable, and shall Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words. Then shall you delight in the Lord (Yahweh) and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, feed you with the heritage of Jacob (Messiah Yahshua) is the greater Jacob) your father, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.

May the light that is now shed upon your pathway change and brighten your whole life for the honor and glory of Yahweh, is my prayer in Yahshua's name. To Yahweh be the glory. Shalom
