We know that a year is measured by a full revolution of the earth around the sun; a month is measured by a full revolution of the moon around the earth; and, a day is measured by a full rotation of the earth upon its axis. But, the measurement of a week is derived from nothing within nature. Rather, it owes its existence to the six days of creation and God's divine appointment of the seventh day to holy use.
Our seven-day weekly cycle has not been interrupted at any time in history. Despite this fact, and the fact that nowhere in the Bible does God transfer the solemnity of the seventh-day to another day, man stubbornly maintains that he is fully justified in replacing God's Holy Day with a day of his own choosing.
How is it that our intelligence can take us to the moon and back, but yet we are unable to properly count to the number seven when observing God's Holy Day? Could it be that we have simply mistaken the days, or have no modern certainty as to which day is the seventh day of Creation?
Unfortunately, many within the popular Christian culture do not have the luxury of this excuse. This is because most Christians do not dispute that Sunday is the first day of the week and that Saturday is the seventh day. This question has long been answered by the church and is well documented and settled. A rejection of the Fourth Commandment by modern Christianity does not result from a mistake or lack of knowledge, but from an intentional desire to choose for ourselves the day we prefer to regard as holy, as opposed to the day GOD established and sanctified as holy at the foundation of the world.
It is often contended by popular Christian culture that the Ten Commandments were nailed to the cross with Jesus and thus, abolished and made obsolete during this age of grace. This argument is followed by strong condemnation of anyone who advocates the standards of the Ten Commandments. To advocate this or any other standard of obedience is considered by many to be legal bondage and a false reliance upon a merit-based Christianity. But when this rationale is challenged even slightly by the pure substance of the Ten Commandments (i.e., thou shalt not worship other gods, thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, etc.), this rigid position quickly loosens to one which maintains that only one of the ten commandments must have become obsolete at the cross. Can you guess which one? That's right, you guessed it-the Seventh-day Sabbath of the Fourth Commandment! This book presents an honest critique of modern Christianity's peculiar rejection of God's most sacred day.
