THE ADVENT TRUTH
The Sabbath command is indeed about worship and when to rest and remember the Creator.

In Luke 18:18-20, Jesus is not listing every single commandment, He’s simply giving examples. Notice He doesn’t mention coveting or the first commandment either, but that doesn’t mean those are abolished. Selective silence is not proof of abolition.

From Genesis 2:2-3, God blessed and sanctified the seventh day before sin, before Israel, and before Sinai even existed. Jesus Himself declared, “The Sabbath was made for man” (Mark 2:27) — not just Jews. “Man” here is anthropos, meaning all humanity.

Nowhere in Scripture does God ever change His holy day to Sunday. In fact, Jesus gave us His example: “As His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day” (Luke 4:16). The disciples continued this after the cross (Acts 13:42-44; Acts 16:13; Acts 17:2). Even Isaiah prophesies that in the new earth we will worship “from one Sabbath to another” (Isaiah 66:22-23).

The word “worship” is tied to the Sabbath because the fourth commandment says, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” How do you keep something holy? By ceasing from secular work and dedicating that time to God. It’s not about a single verse saying “worship,” it’s about the principle God established from creation.

The final conflict in Revelation 14 is about worship — either worshiping the Creator by honoring His sign (the seventh-day Sabbath, Exodus 31:13, Ezekiel 20:20) or worshiping the beast and its counterfeit day (Sunday).

Silence in one verse does not overturn God’s eternal command. Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15). Love is the motive, obedience is the fruit. The Sabbath is still God’s holy day.
