Bible Note: Candy Lee – Have you ever considered the CONTEXT of those verses you quoted. They are always the same ones that others pass off for that erroneous concept of evening and night. For that matter, even many Jewish people “practice” the Sabbath in that manner. Lev 23:32 IS CONNECTED to verses 23-31. For THIS PARTICULAR SABBATH ONLY, it began the night before. That was because of a FAST. Do you know what day today is? It happens to be that ONE SABBATH of the year – that began at sunset last night. The Jews wouldn’t be able to eat anything. They had to fast for supper, lunch the next day, and supper the next night. (Jews didn’t usually eat breakfast) This is the Day of Atonement, the one-day of the year when the high priest would go into the Holy of Holies to offer a sacrifice for the sins of the people. (Yom Kippur) The Sabbaths that occurred in the seventh month were not six days on, one off. The first day of the month was Sabbath (Feast of Tabernacles) no matter what day it fell on. (Lev. 23:23) On the night of the ninth night of the seventh month, (verse 32) “It is A sabbath of rest for you, and you must deny yourselves (fast). From the evening of the NINTH day of the month until the following evening you are to observe your sabbath.” FIVE days from THAT sabbath is another one that lasts for seven full days. Verse 33- “On the fifteenth day of the seventh month is the Feast of Tabernacles. So you see, Candy Lee THAT “concept about the Sabbath lasting from “Friday night to Saturday night is NOT FROM THE LORD. It is only and I mean only a tradition of man. Jesus confronted the Pharisees about changing the law of God into man’s traditions. Do you know how the Jews today “celebrate” Yom Kippur? According to the Old Testament they WERE SUPPOSE TO FAST from the time sun went down last night until it went down tonight. THEY, the Jews, CHANGED IT. They claim, as long as you fast some of the time it counts for a FULL FAST. As far as those other Scriptures, which you proposed. Taking the above information into account, you need to realize that a Sabbath to the Jews NEVER meant Saturday. It always meant a day rest – no matter what day that happened to be. Like this month of ours, the first day of this month fell on a Wed. That would be THE Sabbath. On the ninth another Sabbath would start. That is Thursday and Friday. On the 15th of the month another one would start. That would be the following Wed. By the way, Sabbath followers MUST work from sunrise to sunset six days a week. Look at all the examples painted in Scripture by Jesus, as proof. Tom P.S. Did you notice in that John reference that you offer as proof, that it really proves what I have just shared? It specifies, depending on your translation, that it was a "Special sabbath". Those special sabbath times are when there is less than six days of labor and one of rest. |
