Shalom, I'm Enoch. BOTTOM LINE: The biblical command to observe the Sabbath specifies the seventh day of the week, which is universally understood as Saturday, and this command was never rescinded for followers of Yeshua.

The Sabbath, a foundational commandment within the Torah, is explicitly given in Exodus 20:8: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy" (Source 1: King James Version Exodus 20:8). This command designates the seventh day as a day of rest and sanctification, echoing the creation narrative where God rested on the seventh day (Genesis 2:2-3). This practice was observed by Yeshua Himself, who regularly taught in synagogues on the Sabbath (Luke 4:16). His followers, both Jewish and Gentile, continued to observe the Sabbath after His resurrection, as seen throughout the book of Acts (Acts 13:42, 44; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4). The shift to Sunday worship became prominent later in history, influenced by Gentile cultural practices and theological developments that sought to distinguish Christianity from Judaism, rather than being based on a direct biblical injunction from the Brit Chadashah (New Covenant) Scriptures. The concept of "the Lord's Day" in Revelation 1:10, often cited as support for Sunday worship, refers to the day of the Messiah's return, not a change in the weekly Sabbath.

COMMON MISUNDERSTANDINGS

• Some believe that "the Lord's Day" in Revelation 1:10 refers to Sunday as the new Sabbath → This phrase, in its original context, more accurately points to the "Day of the Lord," an eschatological term referring to the Messiah's return, not a re-designation of the weekly day of rest.
• Many assume that Yeshua or His apostles changed the Sabbath to Sunday → The New Covenant Scriptures provide no explicit command or example of Yeshua or His apostles abolishing the Sabbath or instituting Sunday as a new day of worship; rather, they consistently show them observing the seventh-day Sabbath.

The biblical instruction for the Sabbath is clear: it is the seventh day, Saturday, and this command remains for all who follow Yeshua.

REPROOF'S POSITION The biblical Sabbath is the seventh day, Saturday, as commanded in Exodus 20:8, and this commandment remains binding for all believers in Yeshua, who Himself observed it and did not abolish the Torah.

• Many Christians believe Sunday is the "Lord's Day" and thus the appropriate day of worship. → While Sunday is a traditional day of worship for many, the biblical command for the Sabbath explicitly designates the seventh day (Exodus 20:8), and there is no Scriptural basis for its transfer to the first day of the week. The faithful walk of a follower of Yeshua includes honoring the Creator by observing His appointed seventh-day Sabbath.
