“Continuous Weekly Cycle” Proven False

Modern Sabbatarians insist that Saturday is the Sabbath of the Bible because they believe that the seven-day week has cycled without interruption ever since Creation. One reason for this belief is the fact that when the Julian calendar changed to the Gregorian calendar in 1582, no days of the week were lost. Thursday, October 4, 1582, on the Julian calendar was followed by Friday, October 15, on the new Gregorian calendar. Therefore, it is assumed, because no days were “lost” when the calendars transitioned from Julian to Gregorian, the modern week is identical to the Biblical week.

This assumption is proven false in the historical facts of the Julian calendar itself. The calendar of the Roman Republic, like all ancient calendars, was originally based on lunar cycles. Pagan Roman priests, called pontiffs, controlled the calendar by announcing the beginning of months.

Don?t Chance it Get a Delaware Real Estate Lawyer That Knows Delaware Real Estate Laws!

Facing a legal issue in Delaware without knowing the facts about Delaware real estate law or apartment tenement laws can be scary business. Imagine facing legal and financial repercussions that may last a lifetime from not being aware of certain legal loop holes, correct verbage or basic laws revolving around Delaware real estate law.

A Delaware real estate lawyer already knows all of the loop holes and possible scenarios that a lay person, unfamiliar to the laws may not be familiar with. A general practice attorney or a contract attorney will not know real estate or tenement laws as well as a Delaware real estate lawyer would.

Counting the Cost: Keeping the Sabbath Holy

The Messiah said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.”   Mathew 13:44, 45

This short, often over-looked parable was specifically given for those living at the very end of time.  It illustrates the conflict that all will face.  Each person in his or her own way is a merchantman looking for truth; each truth is a jewel.  Much that is untrue must be cast aside; worthless counterfeits must be recognized for what they are.  Sometimes it takes a lifetime of looking, but anyone truly devoted to finding the most precious, very costly Pearl of Truth will be led to it and understand it. 

The problem is, it costs a very high price.  The final test over observing the true Sabbath is the judgment of the living.  Each person passes judgment upon himself.  This is the necessary cleansing of the soul-sanctuary that must take place before the Saviour returns.  Yahushua said the merchantman had to sell that he had in order to obtain the pearl of great price.  It will require all who would be saved of the final generation to surrender all in order to pass the judgment of the living.
