THE ADVENT TRUTH
Some days I look at comments like “Sabbath keeping is antichrist…” and honestly… Isaiah 5:20 hits a little too close. “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness.”

How did we reach a point where keeping one of the Ten Commandments is labeled “antichrist,” but breaking it is called “freedom in Christ”? When did obedience become heresy, and rebellion become righteousness?

The Sabbath wasn’t invented by Jews, by Moses, or by Adventists. It was created before sin, before culture, before nations — in Eden itself (Gen. 2:1–3). It is part of the moral law God wrote with His own finger (Ex. 31:18). Jesus kept it (Luke 4:16). The apostles kept it (Acts 13, 16, 17, 18). And Isaiah says we’ll keep it in the new earth (Isa. 66:22–23).

How is that “antichrist”?

The actual definition of antichrist in Scripture is someone who exalts themselves above God (2 Thess. 2:3–4), attempts to change His law (Dan. 7:25), and replaces God’s authority with human tradition (Mark 7:6–9). So if anything, calling God’s commandment “wrong” fits much closer to the definition than obeying it.

The real issue isn’t the Sabbath. It’s the same issue it’s always been: the carnal heart does not like the law of God (Rom. 8:7). When the Sabbath confronts our habits, our schedule, or our preferences, it’s easier to attack the commandment than surrender our will.

But Jesus didn’t save us from obedience — He saved us into obedience (John 14:15; Heb. 8:10). Grace doesn’t erase God’s law, it writes it on the heart.

And in the last days, the issue won’t be “Sabbath vs. Sunday” as mere days, but loyalty to God vs. loyalty to man. The Sabbath is simply the arena where that loyalty is revealed.

So no — Sabbath keeping isn’t antichrist. Sabbath breaking isn’t freedom. And calling good “evil” doesn’t make it so.

Truth stays truth.
