WORSHIP DAY : SATURDAY ( 7th Day ) or SUNDAY ( 1st Day ) ? Controversial Topic 2A

ANOTHER CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC REGARDING THE DAY OF WORSHIP :
WORSHIP DAY : 

Saturday 
( 7th Day )  
or  Sunday ( 1st Day )
Exodus 12:16  King James Version

16 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the    seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
1. SATURDAY (7th day), for Israel or Jews only –  Exodus 31: 
2.  SUNDAY (1st day), for the Gentiles – Acts  20: 7 / I Corinthians  16: 2
According to what is written, no work to do on these days except to prepare food for everyone to eat.
No questions about Saturday that it is indeed Saturday (7th) Day was given by God but only for Israel as a perpetual covenant :

Exodus 31:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant
But I want to give point and emphasize to all of this words " to you " :
and in the  seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you "
Moses is demanding directly that the 7th Day is only for Israelite's by saying " to you ", he is talking to Israelite. 
This is why we, who knows fully the truth insisting as to gentiles nations to worship God by Sunday, as what is written also in Exodus 12: 16 " And in the first day (Sunday) there shall be an holy convocation, ... "
Showing that it is not only written but also a prophetic words in the coming for the gentile nations, you will see and read more regarding Sunday, the1st Day :

SUNDAY - A PROPHECY :


Leviticus 23:15-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

15 ‘You shall count from the day after the Sabbath ( Sunday ), from the day when you brought in the sheaf (tied bundle of grain) of the wave offering; there shall be seven complete Sabbaths (seven full weeks). 16 You shall count fifty ( 50 ) days to the day after the seventh Sabbath ( Sunday ); then you shall present a new grain offering to the Lord.

THIS IS JUST A SIMPLE MATHEMATICS TO COMPUTE : 

SUNDAY - from the day after the Sabbath / there shall be seven complete Sabbaths (seven full weeks) 7x7 = 49 days ( 7 full Sabbaths ) You shall count fifty (50) days to the day after the seventh Sabbath ( Sunday )then you shall present a new grain offering to the Lord.

Many gentiles are innocent about this truth especially The Seventh (7th) Day Adventist believing this as a Worship Day which in fact this day is not given to them as also gentiles but for the Jews alone ? 

Who are those Gentiles ? Nation outside Israel nation are called Gentiles
Gentiles are not Jews to observe Saturday as a Worship Day for them.

What and who are they, gentiles who worship on Saturday according to the scripture ? 


Revelation 2:9 New International Version (NIV)

I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
They are slander - a false and untrue as define, they are Gentiles following what's for the Jews but in fact must not, they are a synagogue of Satan as what is written.

If this gentile slanders following what's for the Jews, How can they enter into the rest of God that even Israel himself did not enter into it ?


Hebrews 4:3-5 New International Version (NIV)

Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,
 “So I declared on oath in my anger, "They shall never enter my rest".
And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.” And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”

God Himself declare an oath of anger that Israel shall never enter into the rest which is the 7th day as written, what more of Gentiles who are not Jews, Are they more beloved than Israels to enter into the rest of God ? or they are Synagogue of Satan as what is written ?

But wait ! There is another Sabbath given as a rest day for the people of God to the Gentiles :


Hebrews 4:6-9 King James Version (KJV)

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Here's the hope for the gentiles to enter into the Kingdom of God :

1st : he limiteth a certain day - means designated another day
2nd : a day remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
3rd : a rest - also a sabbath for the people of God to Gentiles

Romans 9: 25 New International Version (NIV)

25 As he says in Hosea:
     “I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;  and I will call  her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one.
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE WHOSE NOT PEOPLE OF GOD BEFORE BUT NOW BECAME BELOVED ?


Acts 15:14 King James Version (KJV)

14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
Very Clear that the word - There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God" in Hebrew 4: 9 refers to the people of God to the gentile nations.
The Israelite's disobedience make way for us gentiles to enter to the remain Sabbath Day or rest day given by God and that is Sunday.
One of those disobedience is that the Israelites wants the Sabbath be gone :

Amos 8: 5  King James Version

        “  When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn ? and the sabbath, that we may set forth meat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit ? ” 

You will see here the word sabbath as singular not sabbaths, it is indeed the Sabbath that they want to ease or be gone. 

Why ? Israelite's wants to work even Sabbath Day, as even before, God sees their disobedience from their hearts saying “ When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn ? and the sabbath ".

The Lord decided to ease or to stop even the Sabbath (7th) Day, and all her Sabbaths days truly because of their disobedience.


Hosea 2:11 King James Version

    I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.

So, the Lord decided to stop all her sabbaths and gave a sign when it will be stop or gone:


Amos 8: 9 King James Version (KJV)

9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord Godthat I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
That happened that the sun go down at noon and will darken the earth in clear day when Jesus our Lord Crucified at the Cross, that the Lord will ease and stop the sabbaths including the Sabbath (7th) Day :

FULFILLMENT TO EASE, STOP AND MAKE THE SABBATHS GONE :


Matthew 27:45-46 New International Version (NIV)

The Death of Jesus


45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[a] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
There are many sabbaths written, and from that sabbaths God remaineth one for gentiles.



Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you





From these sabbaths the Lord remaineth one for gentiles.


Hebrews 4: 8-9  King James Version
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have    spoken of another day ( another day means not anymore Saturday  or 7th day )9  There remaineth ( Sunday as remaineth day ) therefore a rest ( Sabbath ) to the people of God.
There's no written in the Bible that Gentiles Worship God on Saturday or on the 7th day.

There are verses showing that it is every Sunday Apostle Paul and all Christians Gentiles with him gathered together for services to the Lord :


Acts 20:7 Amplified Bible (AMP)

Now on the first day of the week (Sunday), when we were gathered together to break bread (share communion), Paul began talking with them, intending to leave the next day; and he kept on with his message until midnight.

1 Corinthians 16:2 Amplified Bible (AMP)

On the first day of every week each one of you is to put something aside, in proportion to his prosperity, and save it so that no collections [will need to] be made when I come.
IT IS ALSO SUNDAY WHEN JESUS RISEN FROM THE DEAD :


Matthew 28:1 Amplified Bible (AMP)

Jesus Is Risen!

28 Now after the Sabbath, near dawn of the first day of the week (Sunday), Mary Magdalene and the other [a]Mary went to look at the tomb.
FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY - Leviticus 23: 15-16 ( Sunday )

FILLING OF HOLY SPIRIT ON PENTECOST (50th) DAY - ACTS 2: 1-4 - IS SUNDAY :
   
HOLY SPIRIT IS A SEAL THAT WE ARE REDEEMED AND NOW CHILDREN OF GOD :

   Ephesians 4:30
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.





    Ephesians
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

So it is not true that according to Seventh ( 7th ) Day Adventist Doctrine, the number of the beast will be mark to those Sunday Worshipers.

Why ? Because it is Sunday the Day of Pentecost when God filled His Holy Spirit a bear witness to His people as His children, a seal of redemption as heirs, joint-heirs of Christ :


Romans 8: 16-17 King James Version (KJV)

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
