Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, God will take away from that person any share in the Tree of Life and blot your name from the Book of Life.   Revelation 22:18-19 DEUTERONOMY 4:2

The Disciples Kept the Sabbath 85 Times in the book of Acts
Matthew 5:16
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. 17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18 For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.…
Churches Who Teach Us to Keep Sunday Admit It’s NOT the Sabbath of the Bible

God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill? I have indeed received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot change it.… Numbers 23:19-20
This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Hebrews 8:10

The Lord of the Sabbath
Then Jesus declared, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”…Matthew 12: 7
If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent. 8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” 9 Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,…Mark 2:27

7–9 Yes: Mostly keeping it but with some areas of compromise.

4–6 Yes: Partial or inconsistent observance.

0–3 Yes: Not properly keeping the biblical Sabbath.


Factual Note on Sabbath:
The Sabbath is the 7th day of the week (Saturday), observed from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday (Leviticus 23:32). In Hebrew it is called Shabbat (שַׁבָּת), from the root שָׁבַת (shavat) meaning “to cease, desist, or rest.” It was commanded at Creation (Genesis 2:2-3) and written into the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:8-11). Ancient Semitic calendar systems followed a 7-day cycle with the 7th day as holy rest. Proper observance includes complete rest from work, holy convocation, and honoring Yahweh using His true name. The Messiah Yahshua (יֵשׁוּעַ — “Yahweh saves”) kept and taught the Sabbath according to Torah.

Here is the direct, condensed fact sheet on how the phrase "first day of the week" entered our Bibles:

1. The Original Greek Says "Sabbath"

In every single resurrection account (e.g., Matthew 28:1, John 20:1), the original Greek manuscripts do not say "first day of the week." They literally read:

μία τῶν σαββάτων (Mia tōn sabbatōn) — "The first of the Sabbaths"

Linguistically, this directly references the Hebrew command to count seven weekly Sabbaths leading up to Pentecost (Leviticus 23:15).

2. Early Translations Maintained "Sabbath"

The earliest historical translations did not use the word "week."

  • The Latin Vulgate (382 AD): Translates it literally as "Una autem sabbati" ("The first of the Sabbath").

  • Wycliffe’s English Bible (1382): Translates it straight from the Latin as "one day of the sabotis" ("one day of the Sabbaths").

3. Why It Changed to "Week"

The shift happened in the 1500s (starting with William Tyndale and formalized by the King James Version in 1611).

Translators swapped the literal word "Sabbath" for the idiomatic phrase "first day of the week" to make the text fit the Roman solar calendar used by Western readers. To make it work, the KJV translators had to add the words "day of the" in italics, proving those words do not exist in the original Greek text.

The Bottom Line: The phrase "first day of the week" is a later human interpretation. The earliest manuscripts completely tie the resurrection timeline to the Hebrew Sabbath calendar.

The Sign of the Sabbath Exodus 31:14
(Numbers 15:32–36)

12 And the LORD said to Moses, 13“Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you. 14 Keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Anyone who profanes it must surely be put to death. Whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from among his people. 15 For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death.

16 The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, celebrating it as a permanent covenant for the generations to come. 17 It is a sign between Me and the Israelites forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ”

Warning: There are two paths—one narrow road that leads to eternal life through faithful obedience to Christ, and one broad road that leads to destruction and the lake of fire—your choice matters eternally. Matthew 7:13-14

The one question every professing Christian must answer—your eternity hinges on it.

 

Tampering with Scripture (adding human ideas/traditions as divine commands or subtracting/removing/ignoring/twisting any part) reveals a heart not truly submitted to God. This risks one's name not being found—or shown never to have been—in the Lamb's Book of Life, resulting in eternal judgment in the lake of fire (the second death). Revelation 22:18-19,

 

A life of ongoing sin reflects the devil’s influence, unrepentant behavior rather than an occasional mistake. It’s the contrast between someone who struggles who has the Holy Spirit but tries to improve, versus someone who intentionally chooses a path away from God

1 John 3:8 What is the Fourth Commandment, found in Exodus 20:8-11? Surely you know. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; Exodus 31:12-17

And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read. Luk3 4:16

So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath. ACTS 1
The mark of God Is the Sabbath

777 is found on the Sabbath

Genesis 2:1-3 

2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation.

 

  There are three elements to a legal seal.

The name, His Title, His territory 

Exodus 20:8-11 God seal/sign

8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it, you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord he made (creator) heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

37 Versi tal-Bibbja dwar is-Sibt, F'Nt
It-Testment il-Ġdid jabolixxi s-Sabbath?

Dan il-jum ta’ mistrieħ, jgħid Ġesù, huwa magħmul għall-bnedmin (Mark 2:27). Ġesù jippretendi lilu nnifsu bħala ‘Mulej tas-Sabbath. ' Din il-Mulej ma tneħħix is-Sabbath – għax Ġesù għala se jneħħi xi ħaġa li fuqha jippretendi lilu nnifsu bħala ħakkiem? – iżda minflok, Huwa jsaħħaħ il-vitalità tagħha għall-ħajja.

Sabbath u l-Qawmien

 

M'hemm l-ebda post fil-bibbja kollha fejn issib xi versi li jbiddlu s-Sabbath tas-Seba' Jum għall-Ħadd, għaliex ma jolqotx meta tadurak f'ġurnata differenti minn dik li Alla qaddes, u tiftakar? Huwa r-raba’ kmandament.

 

Il-biċċa l-kbira tal-Kristjani jindikaw Rumani 14 bħala test ta 'prova dwar il-bidla ta' jum is-Sibt, madankollu, ma ssibx il-kelma Sabbath miktuba fil-ktieb.

Tiżbaljax, Alla se jippermettilek tisfida u ma tobdihx. Hu se jippermettilek issegwi l-folla u t-tradizzjonijiet tal-irġiel. Hu se jippermettilek li dnub. Imma Hu jgħid ukoll li ġej jum ta’ kalkolu. Kif tiżra’, hekk taħsad!

Huwa interessanti li wieħed jinnota li hemm jum wieħed biss fil-ġimgħa li l-Missier jagħti isem, is-Sabbath, is-seba’ jum. Il-ġranet l-oħra kollha huma numri.

 

  • Eżekjel 22: 26 Is-saċerdoti tagħha (ir-rgħajja tiegħek) għamlu vjolenza fuq il-liġi Tiegħi u profanaw l-affarijiet qaddisa Tiegħi; ma għamlu l-ebda distinzjoni bejn il-qaddis u l-profan, u ma għallmux id-differenza bejn dak mhux nadif u dak nadif; u jaħbu għajnejhom mis-Sabbaths Tiegħi, u jien imnixxef fosthom. 27 Il-prinċpijiet tagħha ġewwa fiha huma bħal ilpup li jqattgħu l-priża, billi jxerrdu d-demm u jeqirdu l-ħajjiet biex jiksbu qligħ diżonest.…

  • Eżekjel 20:12Ukoll tajthom is-Sabbaths Tiegħi biex ikunu sinjal bejni u bejniethom, biex ikunu jafu li jien il-Mulej li jqaddishom. Kif jista’ xi ħadd jiġi mqaddes mingħajr ma jżomm is-Sabbath?

  • Eżodu 20:9 “Ftakar f’jum is-Sibt, biex iżżommu qaddis. Sitt ijiem għandek taħdem u tagħmel ix-xogħol kollu tiegħek, imma s-seba’ jum huwa s-Sibt tal-Mulej, Alla tiegħek. Fiha m’għandek tagħmel l-ebda xogħol: int, la ibnek, la bintek, la l-qaddej tiegħek, la l-qaddejja tiegħek, la l-bhejjem tiegħek, la l-barrani tiegħek li jkun ġewwa bibien tiegħek. Għax f’sitt ijiem Ġeħova għamel is-smewwiet u l-art, il-baħar, u dak kollu li hemm fihom u mistrieħa fis-sebaʼ jum. Għalhekk, il-Mulej bierek jum is-Sibt u qaddes” (Eżodu 20:8-11).

 

  • 1 Pietru 1:15 Imma bħall-Qaddis li sejħilkom, kunu qaddisin infuskom ukoll fl-imġieba tiegħek kollha; għax hemm miktub: “QADDISUS, GĦAX JIĠI QADDIS”. ● Levitiku 20:26 ‘Għalhekk tkunu qaddis għalija, għax jien il-Mulej qaddis; u jien għamiltek barra mill-popli biex tkun Tiegħi. “Il- Mulej illum iddikjarak bħala l- poplu Tiegħu, (IŻRAEL) proprjetà għażiża, kif wiegħedek, u li għandek iżżomm il- kmandamenti Tiegħu kollha; u li Hu jpoġġik għoli fuq il-ġnus kollha li għamel, għat-tifħir, il-fama u l-unur; u li tkunu poplu ikkonsagrat lill-​Mulej, Elohim tiegħek, kif qal Hu.” Id-​Dixxipli żammew is-​Sabbath 85 Times fil-​ktieb taʼ l-​Atti.

 

  • Atti 20:6-7 Imma baħħru minn Filippi wara l-Festa tal-Ħobż bla ħmira, u ħamest ijiem wara ngħaqdu mal-oħrajn fi Troas, fejn qgħadna sebat ijiem. Fl-ewwel jum tal-ġimgħa, iltaqgħu flimkien biex inkissru l-ħobż. Pawlu tkellem man-nies u, għax kellu l-ħsieb li jitlaq l-għada, baqa’ jitkellem sa nofsillejl. Vers 7 jgħid, bl-Ingliż, li l-appostli ngħaqdu flimkien fl-ewwel jum tal-ġimgħa, u b’hekk, jimplika lil ħafna li s-Sibt huwa issa fl-ewwel jum tal-ġimgħa.

 

Peress li dan il-vers jintuża biex jiddefendi l-Ħadd bħala l-jum tas-Sibt il-ġdid, ejja nħarsu lejn il-poeżiji Grieg, fejn vers 7 jgħid “l-ewwel jum tal-ġimgħa”. Il-Grieg jgħid, fil-fatt... mia ton sabaton Il-kelma Griega mia tfisser “wieħed,” mhux “l-ewwel” ... hija l-kelma Griega ‘protos’ li tfisser “l-ewwel,” li mhix preżenti fit-test.

Ma nistgħux nagħmluha tgħid xi ħaġa li ma tagħmilx... Fil-fatt tittraduċi bħala "wieħed mis-Sabbaths". Plural. Mhux "L-ewwel jum tal-ġimgħa". Singolari.”. Dan huwa żball kbir ta 'traduzzjoni li ġie aċċettat b'mod miftuħ bħala verità matul is-snin.

Il-knisja moderna tagħraf il-jum tal-qawmien ta’ Yeshua bħala nhar il-Ħadd. Ejja tassew naraw liema jum Yeshua ġie rxoxtat.

 

  • Mattew 20:40 Għax bħalma Ġona kien tlett ijiem u tlett iljieli f'żaqq il-ħuta l-kbira, hekk Bin il-bniedem ikun tlett ijiem u tlett iljieli fil-qalba tal-art.

  • Ġwanni 11:9 Yeshua wieġeb: “M’hemmx tnax-il siegħa dawl taʼ jum? Jekk xi ħadd jimxi bi nhar, ma jitfixkelx, għax jara mid-dawl ta’ din id-dinja.10 Imma jekk xi ħadd jimxi bil-lejl, jitfixkel, għax m’għandux dawl.” ... Hawnhekk hawn xi ħaġa li taħseb. Kif tista’ tikseb 3 ijiem u 3 iljieli jew 72 siegħa mill-Ġimgħa l-Kbira sal-qawmien tal-Ħadd filgħodu? Jekk tagħmel il-matematika, Huwa kien jitrabbew nhar it-Tnejn. Il-loġika tal-knisja moderna biex tinbidel is-Sibt is-Sibt għall-Ħadd ma tgħoddx peress li s-servizzi tal-Qawmien għandhom isiru nhar it-Tnejn wara nofsinhar.

 

Alla ta biss is-seba jum

isem, il-bqija tal-jiem kollha kienu magħduda. Jekk tħares mill-qrib tara li qed jitkellmu dwar l-ikel u r-riċeviment ta’ min hu dgħajjef fil-fidi, imma mhux biex jiddiskuti dwar affarijiet dubjużi. Hemm mill-inqas 10 darbiet li ssemmi tiekol. Il-kuntest hawnhekk huwa s-sawm, il-vers qed jgħidilhom li ma jimpurtax f'liema ġurnata għażilt li sawm. Yeshua jgħid meta nsawmu, mhux jekk isawm.

  • Rumani 14:5 Persuna waħda tistima jum fuq ieħor; ieħor jistima kuljum bl-istess mod. Ħalli kull wieħed ikun kompletament konvint f’moħħu.

  • Mattew 6: 16-18 “U meta ssawm, tidhirx skura bħall-ipokriti, għax huma sfiguraw wiċċhom biex is-sawm tagħhom ikun jidher minn ħaddieħor. Tassew, ngħidilkom, huma rċevew il-premju tagħhom. Imma meta sawm, idlek rasek u aħsel wiċċek, biex is-sawm tiegħek ma jidhirx minn ħaddieħor imma minn Missierkom li hu fil-moħbi. U Missierkom li jara fil-moħbi jippremjak.”

  • Salm 35:13-14 “Jien nilbes l-ixkora; Imnikket lili nnifsi bis-sawm; Tlabt b’rasi mimxula fuq sidiri. Jien mort qisu nibki għal ħabib jew ħu; bħal wieħed li jibki lil ommu, inxteħt bil-biki.”
