THE ADVENT TRUTH
Many people raise objections to the Sabbath, but when you carefully examine Scripture, these arguments don’t hold up. One popular claim is that the Sabbath didn’t exist before Mt. Sinai, and that Nehemiah 9:14 proves this because it says God “made known” His holy Sabbath there. But the phrase made known doesn’t mean God created it then—it means He reminded or revealed it more clearly. Think of it like a wedding anniversary: you don’t get married again each year; you simply remember and celebrate what already happened.
The Sabbath was established at Creation. Genesis 2:2-3 says God rested, blessed, and sanctified the seventh day before sin even entered the world. Jesus confirmed this when He said, “The Sabbath was made for man” (Mark 2:27)—not just for Jews, but for all humanity. Adam and Eve celebrated the very first Sabbath with their Creator!
We also see evidence of Sabbath-keeping before Sinai. When Israel gathered manna in Exodus 16, God commanded them to rest on the seventh day weeks before the Ten Commandments were given in Exodus 20. Abraham also kept God’s commandments, statutes, and laws (Genesis 26:5)—long before Moses was even born.
Nehemiah 9:14 is simply saying God reintroduced the Sabbath to His people because they had forgotten it during centuries of slavery. Just like today, people forget God’s commandments and need to be reminded.
Other common objections include:
• “The Sabbath was only for Israel.” Yet Isaiah 56:6-7 says foreigners who keep the Sabbath will be blessed, and in heaven, “from one Sabbath to another,” all flesh will worship before God (Isaiah 66:22-23).
• “The Sabbath was nailed to the cross.” Colossians 2:16-17 speaks of ceremonial sabbaths and feast days, not the moral law written by God’s own finger.
The Sabbath is a gift from God to mankind—a day of rest, worship, and relationship with our Creator. It’s not about legalism but love and loyalty to Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8).
