Sabbath Truth.
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CATECHISM.
Recall the ceremony with which God made known His Law, containing the blessing of the seventh-day Sabbath, by which all humanity is to be judged. Contrast this with the unannounced, unnoticed anticlimax with which the church gradually adopted Sunday at the command of "Christian" emperors and Roman bishops. And these freely admit that they made the change from Sabbath to Sunday.
God warned that a blasphemous power would "seek to change times and laws,"( Daniel 7:25) and the Catholic Church openly admits doing it, even boasts about it. In a sermon at the Council of Trent in 1562, the Archbishop of Reggia, Caspar del Fossa, claimed that the Catholic Church's whole authority is based upon the fact that they changed the Sabbath to Sunday. Does this not fulfill the prophecies of Daniel and Paul?
"For centuries millions of Christians have gathered to worship God on the first day of the week. Graciously He has accepted this worship. He has poured out His blessings upon Christian people as they have sought to serve Him. However, as one searches the Scriptures, he is forced to recognize that Sunday is not a day of God's appointment... It has no foundation in Scripture, but has arisen entirely as a result of custom," says Frank H. Yost, Ph.D. in The Early Christian Sabbath.
Let us ask the question again: Was the Sabbath changed from the seventh day of the week to the first? The Bible is clear: "And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy" (Genesis 2:3). "Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy" (Exodus 20:11). If God intended for another day to become the Sabbath, He must have removed the blessing from the seventh day and placed it on the day which was to replace it. But when God bestows a blessing, it is forever. "...You, O Lord, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever" (1 Chronicles 17:27). "I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot change it" (Numbers 23:20). Your birthday, a memorial of your birth, can't be changed, though you may celebrate it on a different day. Neither can the Sabbath, a memorial of creation (Exodus 20:11), be changed, though some may celebrate it on a different day.
God instructed Moses to construct the earthly sanctuary, all its furniture, and the ark according to "the pattern" he was shown. (Exodus 25:9, 40) The ark was called the "ark of the covenant" (Numbers 10:33, Deuteronomy 10:8, Hebrews 9:4), and the "ark of the testimony" (Exodus 25:22), because in it Moses placed the tablets of stone on which God wrote His Law. (Exodus 25:16, 31:18) John, in Revelation 11:19, describes the scene before him when "the temple of God was opened in Heaven." John saw the ark of the covenant in the heavenly sanctuary. David wrote, "Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens" (Psalm 119:89). It is safe to assume that God's Law remains, contained within the ark of the covenant in the heavenly sanctuary.
When God says, "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God" (Exodus 20:10), that ends all controversy. We cannot change God's Word for our own convenience. "But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve" (Joshua 24:15).
