Country Girl, I just want to address a small portion of your post, which may be off the main line of the thread. "That's why we as God's obedient children must give Christ the preiminence by worshiping Him on Sunday, the first day of the week and NOT any other day like the Sabbath. Although it's a tough thing for some people to do, in my opinion we should learn to give up our love affair with the OT and put its AUTHORITY on a shelf and move on with modern christianity as described in the NT." It is interesting that rarely is Zechariah 14 used to help Seventh Day Adventists understand why the Christian church worships on the first day. According to Zechariah 14;16-19, the worship of the New Jerusalem will center on "the feast of booths" which is the only festival mentioned during the "day of the Lord." While Old Testament Jews normally keep the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath, during the feast of booths they kept the first day of the week as the day of rest. (Lev 23:33-36) The feast of booths celebrated the Exodus from Egypt and the New Covenant. The New Covenant Exodus is spoken of in the first oracle of Zechariah as an Exodus "from Egypt.' (Zexch 10:11) Revelation also deals with this connection between the Old covenant Expodus celebrated in the feat of booths and the new Covenant Exodus from spiritual Egypt in 70 A.D. when Jerusalem and the Old Covenant system of animal sacrifice was was destroyed.

Hello Emmaus, The Leviticus passage says that a holy convocation would be on the 1st and 8th days of the feast (the feast being on the 15th day of the 7th month). How do you get that it would always be on the 1st day of the week? Steve |

Steve, The Jewsih calendar was Lunar, 28 days and the first day was the first day of the week. The Jewish calendar has numbers rather than names for the days: First day, second day etc. The fifteenth day of a month is the first day of the week and the eight day following that would also be the first day of the week. That is the way I figurwe it. See this article on the calendar: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03166a.htm Emmaus |
