Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart.
Six days you labour, and shall do all your work,
But the seventh day is a Sabbath of Yahweh your Elohim. You do not do any work “you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
For in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart.
Shemoth/Exodus 20:9-11
Celebrating Shabbat and Levitical Feasts
"Do not think
that I came
to destroy
the Torah
or the Prophets,
I did not
come to destroy
but to complete."
Mattithyahu
(Matthew)
5:17
Among the Ten Commandments given to Mosheh Rabbeinu (Moses) at Mount Sinai, keeping Shabbat is the Fourth commandment. It is kept on the seventh day of the week and it is called a Shabbat of Yahweh your Elohim. We cannot work on Shabbat because Yahweh rested on the seventh day after the Creation. Yahweh blessed this particular day and set it apart.
According to the Jewish Biblical calendar the day starts at sundown to sundown of the following day and not from the morning till the evening of the same day. That's why Shabbat and all Jewish Biblical holidays start at sundown. Shabbat starts at sundown on Friday night and ends at sundown on Saturday night. The Hebrew names for the days of the week are the following:
First day (Sunday) “ Yom Rishon
Second day (Monday) “ Yom Sheni
Third day (Tuesday) “ Yom Shlichi
Fourth day (Wednesday) - Yom Revii
Fifth day (Thursday) “ Yom Hamichi
Sixth day (Friday) “ Yom Shichi
Seventh day (Saturday) “ Shabbat
Hebrew is the only language where the days of the week are counted as: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5 and Day 6. Day 7 is called SHABBAT.
The Holy One of Yisra'el is saying to us that this is indeed a special day of His Calendar.
Shabbat is a day set apart from all days of the week for a special purpose. This day has to be honored and remember by all the children of Elohim.
According to the calendar we use, the first day of the week is Sunday.
Sunday means the day of the Sun
Monday means the day of the Moon
Tuesday means Tiw's day a war god, a Teutonic deity.
Wednesday means Woden's day, another pagan god.
Thursday was named after the pagan god Thor.
Friday was named after the goddess Frig, Woden's wife
Saturday was named after Saturn, or Satyr, or Satan (to be verified).
Some Christians celebrate Christian Sabbathon Sunday which
is the true controversy to the Scriptures.
