We continue from our
former post, where we learned that Constantine the Great was initially
responsible for introducing a fabricated truth into Christianity on March 3,
321 AD, after he had joined the Christian church. However, the church should have
fought against that concept; but because the church received power and status
from Constantine, once he moved from Rome and founded Constantinople– Revelation
13:1-2 – they held on to the fabrication. They held on, so much so that the
one congregation, affiliated with Constantine, became influential in getting
other congregations around the “then known world”, to accept the fabrication
that was being presented.
Let us look at this fabrication, a little more closely:
Early
Christians observed the seventh day [Saturday] with prayer and rest, but they
also gathered on the first day [By command of Constantine and his church
congregation]. By the 4th century, Christians were officially observing the
first day, Sunday, as their day of rest, not the seventh.
The
Hebrew Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, is often spoken of loosely as
"Saturday". In the Hebrew calendar, however, the new day begins at
sunset, not midnight. The Sabbath therefore coincides with what the Gregorian
calendar identifies as Friday sunset to Saturday sunset [The same way that it is referred
to throughout Genesis
1: verses 5, 8, 13, 19, 23, & 31, when God was creating the earth and
everything in it]. Similarly, the first day of the week
("Sunday") coincides with Saturday sunset to Sunday sunset. The
Sabbath remained on the seventh day in the early Christian church. [Note 1] To
this day, the Sabbath continues to coincide with the Hebrew Sabbath timing in
the church calendars in Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Orthodoxy.[5]
The
current canons of the Roman Catholic Church (Canon 202 §1) define a day as
beginning at midnight.[6] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabbath_in_Christianity
- reference)
Unfortunately, the
entire world, with the exception of a few Bible-believing Christians, attend church on
Sunday, as their primary day of worship, and mistakenly call it the “Sabbath
Day of Rest”, when there is no rest taken. Sunday to most people is just
another day to do whatever you desire and go wherever you wish. It is not a
true “Holy Convocation” – Leviticus
23:3 – to the Lord, as outlined in the Holy Bible: a day solely dedicated
to the worship and activities of God.
In closing, we are
admonished, in this scripture – Isaiah
58:13-14 – to turn away from doing our own pleasures and call the Sabbath
day, a delight and holy unto the Lord.
I urge you today, to
investigate this topic more fully for yourself, and see whether or not a
fabrication has taken place in the church, which has blinded nearly the entire
world; then once you’ve completed your investigation, decide for yourself,
whether or not you wish to continue believing this untruth. The choice is yours.
