Holy Sabbath Day

The YAHWEH called Abram out of the Land of Ur, of the chaldees in 1921 B.C., when he was 75yrs. old. His nephew Lot went with him as did his wife Sarah, and all their servants and friends and "their substance they had gathered" went with them. (Genesis 12:1-5). The land of Ur was in the plain of the River Euphrates, where Babylon was founded, and was the haven of idolatry, with the chaldees serving a myriad of gods made of stone and wood and precious metals.

The YAHWEH showed Abram the land of Canaan, and told him,

"I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." Genesis 12:3

Thus was the covenant born with Abraham and when he was 99yrs old the YAHWEH told Abram further,

"And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.....He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant." Genesis 17:14

Thus the circumcision became the sign of the covenant.

The YAHWEH further told Abram , that his name "shall be Abraham", and that his wife would now be called not Sarai, but "Sarah" and together they would be progenitors of a great nation. Abraham laughed in his heart, for he was 100 years old, and Sarah his wife was 90 years old. The YAHWEH not only told Abraham she would bear a son, but that she would have it at

"this set time in the next year." As the word of the YAHWEH was true concerning the birth of Issac, so to is it true to all those who take hold of the covenant, the circumcision, and the promise to walk and serve the YAHWEH daily, of which the Decalogue of the Ten Commandments is based on.

For the YAHWEH told Abraham,

"Walk before me, and be thou perfect .

And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly" Genesis 17:1

"And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

And the angel of the YAHWEH called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest the Yahweh, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me." Genesis 22:10-12

Is Issac not a type for YESHUA, the prince of peace, whom the Heavenly Father gave to the world willingly, out of compassion, and love for man, to be offered up upon the sacrifice of the rock of Calvary? How can anyone say that the YAHWEH is not compassionate, or merciful or long-suffering, slow to anger and plenteous in blessing to all those who call upon his name. Like Abraham he spared not even that which was so precious and dear to him, his "only begotten son," that a sinful and fallen race may not perish.

What is the price that we have to pay to receive such redemption and take hold of the promise? The same of that which he told Abraham, " Walk before me, and be thou perfect." To walk before him is to walk as Enoch walked and as Paul walked.

"Keep yourselves in the love of Elohim, looking for the mercy of our Master, YESHUA Messiah unto eternal life.

And of some have compassion, making a difference:

And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy." Jude verses 20-24

How do we walk before the YAHWEH? We walk as Enoch walked for 365

years of his life, although those around him said what was the use to do the will of the YAHWEH, for they were all under the curse, he continued to prophesy the coming of the Savior who would redeem mankind of all sin. We walked as the children of Israel walked in the wilderness for 40 years, preparing themselves to receive the promise, with their sins confessing daily before the tabernacle of the Yahweh, with their humility ever before Him, observing His Sabbaths, His Feast Days, His New Moons, and His Commandments!

We walk as Immanuel (YAHWEH with us) walked, for we know that since he came to dwell with us, he is acquainted with our trials, our sorrows, and our grief. He knows our weaknesses and he sends the comforter to allow us to endure and escape temptation.

"For the law of the Spirit of life in Yeshua Messiah hath made me free from the law of sin and death,

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, Elohim sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:2-4

Writes Ellen White of the Savior,

"Satan represents Elohim's law of love as a law of selfishness. He declares that it is impossible for us to obey its precepts. The fall of our first parents, with all the woe that has resulted, he charges upon the Creator, leading men to look upon Elohim as the author of sin, and suffering, and death. Yeshua was to unveil this deception. As one of us he was to give an example of obedience. For this He took upon Himself our nature, and passed through our experiences. 'In all things it behooved Him to be made like unto His brethren." Hebrews 2:17. If we had to bear anything which Yeshua did not endure, then upon this point Satan would represent the power of Elohim as insufficient for us. Therefore Yeshua was 'in all points tempted like as we are." Hebrews 4:15. He endured every trial to which we are subject. And He exercised in His own behalf no power that is not freely offered to us. As man, He met temptation, and overcame in the strength given Him from Elohim.

He says, 'I delight to do Thy will, O My Elohim: yea, Thy law is within My heart." Psalm 40:8

As He went about doing good, and healing all who were afflicted by Satan, He made plain to men the character of Elohim's law and the nature of His service. His life testifies that it is possible for us also to obey the law

of Elohim." The Desire of Ages, p.5.

Sister White states here that YAHWEH would not give us a law that we as humans, made in his image, were not capable of obeying. YESHUA himself, has set the example, for dauntless was he, young and brave. He left the glory and majesty of the Heavenly courts, and his throne at the right hand of the Father, and traded the admiration and praise, and honor of the host of heavenly angels for a crown of thorns! He states in John 14:15,

"If you love me, obey my commandments." John 14:15

" He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of Elohim perfected: hereby know we that we are in him." 1John 2:4

Has the Savior, in his ascension to the cross on the third day after the crucifixion, on a Sunday, done away with all ordinances and precepts of the law given to Moses? We turn to the Word for clarification in this most important point:

The testimony of Stephen:

"He brought them out, after that he had showed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Yahweh your Elohim raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us." Acts 7:36-38

Stephen points out that the Messiah who was to come forth out of the stem of Jesse, the RIGHTEOUS BRANCH, was the prophet foretold by Moses, and he was the Angel of the Yahweh that led them through the wilderness and gave Moses the oracles, or Ten Commandments. Would the Savior give Moses the law only to resend it later?

The testimony of THE SON OF ELOHIM, YESHUA THE KING OF KINGS:

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not

come to destroy, but to fulfill.

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Matthew 5:17

"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.' Matthew 24:34:35

The testimony of the Apostle Paul:

"Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

And did all drink the same spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was YESHUA." 1Corinthians 10:1-4

There we have on record the testimonies of Stephen, of Paul, the law given to Moses, and the testimony of YESHUA himself declaring the law, statures, and judgments declared by the prophets, handed down by his own hand are to be a perpetual covenant unto his people till HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS AWAY AND ALL BE FULFILLED!

Are you going to take hold of the promise, for Paul says if you take hold of the promise you must first be circumcised in the flesh, and must first do the will of the Father in Heaven? (Hebrews 10:36)

Are you going to observe the three feasts of YAHWEH'S government or are you going to give honor unto the gods of Rome, and observe and participate in his feast days of Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Halloween, Easter, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, etc.?

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in

the water under the earth:

thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Yahweh thy Elohim am a jealous Yahweh, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;" Exodus 20:3-5

If we observe the Sabbaths of the YAHWEH, his new moons, his three annual feasts, his times and laws, vows and ordinances we received his name in our foreheads (Exodus 13:16, Deuteronomy 11:18, 6:8)

If we observe the feast days of Satan we are are making an image, or giving honor unto the beast (Satan).

"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Elohim, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:" Revelation:9,10

"Now therefore fear the YAHWEH, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the YAHWEH.

and IF IT SEEM EVIL UNTO YOU TO SERVE THE YAHWEH, CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YE WILL SERVE; WHETHER THE GODS WHICH YOUR FATHERS SERVED THAT WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOD, OR THE GODS OF THE AMORITES, IN WHOSE LAND YE DWELL: BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE YAHWEH." Joshua 24:14-15
