That’s exactly what I read about why the day was changed from Saturday to Sunday.
Even though JESUS WAS JEWISH completely…..they wanted to move away from the Jewish traditions or anything that the Jews did at that time, so the changed it to Sunday….a pagan gods name “SUN god” SUNday…..even our days of the week are named after pagan gods Thursday (Thors day) etcetc. I have gone back to Friday from Sunset until Saturday at sundown! I light candles etc….I feel GREAT about it. Excellent video!!!!! 🙏❤️🤗
❤ we have just started keeping Shabbat and it has been such a blessing to our family!
I am so glad to hear it. The Sabbath is such a beautiful day and a real blessing. It is so different than any other day. People don’t know what they’re missing
John 10:27 NKJV My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
Nice!!! What a blessing!
@kac0404 thank you.
I guess these People who celebrate Sabbath don't study The new Testament. You can even find lots of verses in the old testament.
@@MiCha13298 What good is it to study the New Testament if YOU aren't going to interpret it properly? This is to say that there's nothing in the NT to support profaning the Sabbath, as you suggest. And, FYI: None of the things @kac0404 (the guy you thanked) said amounted to a hill of beans. And, mind you, I'm prepared to prove that anytime you're ready.
If we love Yahweh we keep His commandments
The 7th day is the Sabbath of the LORD - Genesis 2:1-3, Exodus 20:8-11 and we all know which day it is - Saturday
No particular day by name is mentioned here!
It says the 7th day.
It is/was the celebration of creation week.
I am a born Baptist but I keep Sabbath in the way I know. The Holy spirit taught this truth several years ago. Thanks for your teaching that strengthend me. ❤️❤️Shalom - from SriLanka 🌹
@@catholic4sure976Show us where they didn’t keep the sabbath. It’s in the scriptures that the apostles as well as the first church kept the sabbath.
@@kac0404 Are you willing to bet your eternal Life on it?
4th Commandment written in STONE!

EXACT I KEEP THE HOLY SABBATH SINCE 39 YEARS READ EZECHIEL 20; 12 AND VERSE 20
GOD BLESS YIU MY BROTHER JIM MARANATHA, SHALOM IN YESHUA
Your video debating Chris Rosebrough came on my feed this morning. Tonight this video crossed my path.
I have grown up in a Christian home, served all my life in the church but only got saved in my 60’s. Saturdays used to be my gardening day -all day, however it was like flicking a switch inside me. Remembering and keeping the Sabbath almost came natural and my life has been blessed so much since then. Shabbat Shalom.
Shabbat Shalom
Excellent presentation this mostly forgoten truth. Thanks Jim. As a Seventh-day adventist pastor, all i can say on this is one big Kadosh AMEN! and God bless Jim Staley!
@@kac0404He just explained it and you still hold on to false doctrine. I hope you understand one day
Mr. Jim Staley says at aprox 5:30 mins in: "Did you know that even the Gentiles are expected to keep the sabbath in the NT..." No, I didn't know that. Where? Thats not in Acts 15:21.
Acts 15:21 the subject of the sentence is "Moses." The action part of the sentence is "has had throughout many generations preach him (Moses) in every city" ... so, I would paraphrase that verse to say: Moses, (subject) has had the "law of Moses" preached in every city, by being read in the synagogues every Sabbath." ... ? ... Where is the word for Gentiles in that verse? The old covenant law was only for the Jews and those living with them (2Chr 6:11 the LORD made the Covenant with the Children of Israel, Not the World, or in Deut 5:3 Only those "here" at Mt Horeb). So, when it was preached, it was not for Gentile believers not living with the Jews. (Ninevites in the book of Jonah for example ) Imagine if the commandment, not to build a fire on the Sabbath, was given to the Eskimos?) And since it is making a statement on what HAS happened in the past; where does it say it's for Gentiles in the New Covenant (NC)? If someone makes the Statement: "Hitler taught that killing the Jews was the will of God." Are they agree or disagreeing with Hitler? It doesn't say. ... Its just stating a fact. Hitler taught... Same with Acts 15:21. It says nothing except that, Moses had the Law of Moses taught in Synagogues on the Sabbath. You are Extrapolating the text.
You are telling New Covenant gentile Christians that they are expected to keep the Sabbath. My dear friend, for your own wellbeing, ... You better be careful to be standing on the WORD of GOD, not your own private interpretation of a verse that you have add content to, to get it to say what you want it to say. Where in the Bible are NC gentile Christians expected to keep the Sabbath, like you said? ... If not, my dear friend, you are violating Deut 4:2 and Rev 22:19. Acts Chapter 15 plainly instructs NC Christians that Circumcision is not required (the sign of the Abrahamic Covenant), and only the four listed things are brought into the NC.@@truebeliever81
Glad you agreed with him but 7th day Adventism is also false
@@truebeliever81many of their beliefs stand firm with what Mr. Staley believes. Just a few small disagreeing beliefs, like “investigative judgement” which is a man made doctrine
@@kac0404 actually Sir, they 'broke bread' daily - see Acts 2:46. and Paul did speak on Sabbath that weekend (Acts 17:2), but when it got dark out, that Sabbath became the 1st day aka Sabbath evening. you even wrote: _'...spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.'_
the Sabbath was kept in all the NT as well as the OT. if It weren't, it would have been clearly noted, since the God who doesn't change, didn't change.
and interestingly too - Sabbath will still be kept by those who go to Heaven (Matt 19:17, Rev 22:14) and those who will be in Heaven - Isaiah 66:22-23
thanks for reading, Sir!
Thank God for the Sabbath.God does not change.We will still worship on the Seventh Day Sabbath in the Earth made
New.
We Truely believe this day.
Sabbath. We in Pacific Islands supporting this message
Thank you Roger! Blessing to the Pacific Islands
Sabbath day is a holy covenant of God between Him and His people.
it is a sign that we honor God and that God acknowledge us as His people 🤲✝️❤️
The formula of "keeping the Sabbath holy" remains a covenant, but you need an event that determines your counting. Two known events in the bible determine the Sabbath. 1. Creation - determined the seventh day - which in the days of Jesus fell on Saturday. 2. Deliverance or Redemption - this event determined the seventh day falling on Sunday - brought about by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. That is why disciples worshipped Him on Sunday Matthew 11:28. Also Pentecost fell on Sunday. Jesus is God.
Come on brother, this is the truth and those who are called to the truth will keep Yah's commandcommandments. Blessed
Amen ! You can also spend your day at the church on this holy day.
As an Adventist, I'm delighted to see that the truth shines anyway, by any mean, and that the seal of God is not reserved to an external Church, but to all who truly love God and seek His kingdom with all their love, heart, mind and strength.
Leviticus 23:3 says that the Sabbath day it has to be kept having a holly gathering, a holly convocation, not just ceasing working and laying in the bed.
3. 'Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, 👉a holy convocation👈. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
Leviticus 23:3
Sabbath represents God's power of creation, all flesh must observe it,aisiah chapter 66vs23..
7th day Adventists is a cult
And the feasts also
@@katherineking3174 the feast days were done away at the cross, they are part of the Ceremonial Laws. Jesus fulfilled them all
I was born catholic, but praise God he showed me the sabbath. I encourage anyone who has doubt about the sabbath to pray and ask God which day you should worship Him and he will show you. The sabbath was not for the Israelites only, but for all generations after them til today. Remember satan is the counterfeit of God's holy word, the bible. Thank brother for sharing God's commandment. 🙏
I was a cradle Catholic too and Jesus brought me out of the false RCC! Praise God!
@@kac0404that verse actually means when we are doing it the right way and the world is saying it’s wrong. The doctrine of man (the pope) says the sabbath was changed to Sunday. That’s why the verse says let no MAN judge you. Who cares if MEN judge us, we should care if YAH judges us. The next verse says which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ. We will be observing the Sabbath in heaven. Stop arguing with everyone. Pray that your eyes are open instead. YAH bless.
@@kac0404 The pope changed the sabbath to Sunday. Look at the Vatican website. The pope claims to be Christ on earth and the website tells you it is evident in that we follow the change. It is easily looked up. The pope made the change.
@@kac0404 lol I see you still are twisting scripture:)
@@kac0404 Now I know you have no clue what you are talking about for if you study the history of the Church you would learn that the first Pope actually was Constantine who placed himself above the Church and all the bishops. Peter was the head bishop in his time up until he was crucified. And if you took the time to research it you would see that when Constantine made the law that all would work Saturday and take Sunday to rest it was the church bishops that went along with it and stated that Christians will not Judaize Christianity. As Daniel prophesized man would change law and time and Paul stated man would place themselves equal to or above God. Give it a rest for scriptures also says in Proverbs to not be a foolish person.
Thank you brother, I’m so grateful for your stance!!! This is exactly what my family does too. It is not only a command, but truly a blessing!!!
❤❤❤ Thanks for letting us see the Light of Truth about the Sabbath of the LORD.
Thanks for reminding us that the Sabbath is a delight!
I learned about the sabbath in jail and I began to keep the sabbath in jail now I keep the sabbath out of jail and praise GOD for answering me in jail when i asked HIM to show me HIS sabbath and I tested HIM 3 times and the 3 times HE responded to my prayers
So glad to hear your story about keeping the Sabbath in Jail, and continuing to when you got out. The Bible says, if you regard iniquity in your heart, the Lord doesn’t hear your prayers. Now that you’re doing what is right He answers your prayers. God be with you.
To God be the glory, Jesus loves you and am so happy you found the truth by searching the word and through prayer.
Keep holding on soon Jesus will be coming in power and great glory.
Sometimes in life we need to crash before we become still and just listen.
Shalom brother ❤
It’s quite simple really. Obey God and keep His seventh day sabbath, or obey man, and keep Sunday. As for me and my house, we will show God out love by keeping all ten of His laws of liberty
The God who said both Saturday and Sunday are days of rest (Exodus 12:16; Lev 23:7-8) is the God who was worshipped on Sunday (Matt 28:17). If you decide to believe that Jesus is God, worshipping Him on Sunday guarantees you salvation. He is the Mediator of the New Covenant. Believe in Jesus and you enter His True Sabbath (Matt 11:28).

Every Saturday I celebrate the Sabbath alone at home in Indonesia🇮🇩. I❤ yerushalayim. I support Netanyahu and the IDF . Bravo israel🇮🇱 am Yisrael chai
Thank you so much - I keep the Sabbath now, since I began to understand what it was for. I searched the Bible and there is no question about it. It has weighed heavily on me that many I love don’t see the need to obey this one commandment.
Thank YOU SO MUCH Jim! I was raised under the blessing of keeping the Sabbath! I have loved it and treasured it all my life - And willl continue until I live in the house of the Lord forever...and then we will all keep it, without question, because of the love of our heavenly Father and His wonderful Beloved Son, Yeshua.
(so wish all my family and friends could enjoy it and keep with me.)
Amen!!!
@@kac0404I think he's Hebrew Roots cult too, based on some of his teachings.
@@kac0404 What you teach are half truths by twisting scripture like Satan!
Before watching this video, since I do my best to keep SABBATH.....I would get the notion to not buy or sell as it causes my neighbor to work. And you just confirmed that notion. I also tell my wife that I do not want to go to like the store or any place of business to get things as it causes my neighbor to work. Also if you look closely to the word SABBATH, you see a Hebrew word.....ABBA, meaning FATHER. And you will find ABBA FATHER in the Bible. Thank you for reaffirming my feelings. Thank you for this message. Be Blessed my Brother in MESSAIH.
Wow a eye opening for my life, thank you pastor Jim for this teaching, and God forgive me for not doing this before and the right way 🙏.
Wonderful! Share this video with others as well!

@@mcanultymichelle So true!
He does forgive you, because you didn't know. And now that you DO know, you are doing things as He wants. Shalom.
Amen! I'm 100% with this. We have been observing Shabbat for 14 years, and it is a blessing to know that we are free to rest on the 7th day.
Keeping the Sabbath is how we get God's mark on our foreheads and not the beasts mark. Sunday law when enforced will be the mark of the beast, don't worship on Sunday your praising the sun God.
Hi,let me state from the outset that I'm not a SDS but would like to ask you a qs hope you can give an answer; here it is - which commandments don't you keep ...
@@waynecharles5331 the Ceremonial Laws we don’t keep, they include offering of animals for a sacrifice, feast days, meat and drink offerings, the Ceremonial sabbath days, which were yearly, on different days of the week, these because they controlled by the New Moon. These are described by Colossians 2: 14-17 were handwritings of ordinances which were against us and contrary to us, nailed to the cross. When Jesus said, It is finished , the ceremonial laws were completed.
The ceremonial laws were in the Book of the Law, written by Moses.
Take this Book of the Law,and put it in the side of the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. Deuteronomy 31: 26, the same lingo as Colossians 2: 14
The seventh day Sabbath was never called Handwritings nor ordinances. Ephesians 2: 15,16, 2 Chronicles 33:8
@@dianechapmanbettyboop hi, thanks for replying but apparently you didn't read my question correctly so I'll ask it again ( I'm asking YOU which of the Ten Commandments you do not keep) there i hope you understand it now thanks...
Wow what a wonderful lesson!!! I have been keeping it for about 31 years. You are the 1st person to explain "Do not your on pleasure on the Sabbath". I've always felt that we are missing out on having family time at the beginning of Sabbath at home with family and a meal. Thanks for your study and for sharing. Shalom
It just amazes me how many Christians actually argue against it. I mean, why??? Is it so hard to accept that God wants us to take a specific day? If God says take the seventh day then take it. PERIOD!!!
Seriously! It’s a gift of YAH.
Am proud to be a Sabbath worshiper
It's a privilege and a blessing!
God don't like the word proud It's a privilege and Grace
@@elsieaugustin-pw3yu we should worship God, not sabbath worshipers.
O how I love what you are teaching on the sabbath.I am a sabbath keeper, and were never bless before as I am bless right now. Because I love God and his words. Keep up until you see him face to face to receive your crown
Praise God I have been keeping Sabbath for almost 30yrs what a blessing
So the question must be asked did you did you love your neighbour as your sel?f
HalleluYah. Yah bless you and your family and ministries. Ahmein🙏🏾. HalleluYah for the Shabbat🙏🏾
I’m a Certified Nurse. I have to work every other weekend . That’s mandatory as a nurse. I believe God Father understands this .
Remember Jesus talks about doing good on the Sabbath. God requires mercy not sacrifice. Nursing is a high calling, taking care of Gods people, showing mercy. God knows your heart, you are not breaking his commandment.
Luke 13:10-17: Jesus heals a woman with a spirit of infirmity
Luke 14:1-6: Jesus heals a man with dropsy
John 5:1-18: Jesus heals a sick man at the pool of Bethzatha
John 9:1-41: Jesus heals a man who was born blind
Matthew 12:9-13: Jesus heals a man with a withered hand
Mark 3:1-6: Jesus heals a man with a withered hand
IMO I think your doing a good work. If I were in your shoes I would try to move life decisions towards being off work on the Sabbath, and pray for His blessing in that, but I also wouldn't sweat it until He provides.
Shalom
Oh my goodness gracious thank you so much for saying that.. I've been telling my preacher ever since I got saved it will not supposed to go out and eat on the sabbath..❤
Great message. Thanks for sharing. There are churches that meet on Sabbath (Saturday). Jesus went to the synagogue on sabbath. I think having a holy convocation on sabbath has merit too.
I love Shabbat. It is the day I start looking forward to as soon as it ends. He revealed His Shabbat to me 7+ years ago, and it has blessed my life and walk with Him so abundantly from the first one. I wish I had known all my life, but He knew the perfect time to open my eyes to it, and all His moedim. I feel sad for those who fight against it and so miss out on such a rich blessing. I also love loving Him the way He says He wants to be loved.
What a blessing Ellen! Praise Yah for revealing these gems to you. We pray that the time will come when every believer will recognize this truth. Meanwhile, we do our best to share it with those around us, sowing seeds that God will bring to fruition.
Shalom!

A blessed message indeed and well said. Permit me to add another thought. Eze 20:12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them. So it is also a sign and we rest in the truth that God is the one who sanctifies us. This is also the rest in Jesus, He spoke about.
Berean Standard Bible
Here is a call for the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14:12.
You are right on target!! In my experience witnessing to others, 95% reject the 4th commandment no matter when they see undeniable truth in Gods word. “Many are called, but few are chosen”
@@Elizabeth-rk3do Jesus said not a jot or a tittle of the commandments will change till heaven and earth pass away. The Sabbath was instituted in Genesis when God created all things
In six days and rested on the seventh day, “The Sabbath” God hollowed the sabbath day. The only law we are no longer under is the ceremonial law since Jesus was the sacrificial lamb
In our place. God Bless, I hope you will continue to study.
@@kac0404 There are two laws, the ceremonial law regarding the Sanctuary., and the Mosaic law, the Ten Commandments. When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, the ceremonial laws were null and void. He was our sacrifice. Jesus said if you love me, keep my commandments. He also said heaven and earth will pass away but the law will not. He said if you love me, keep my commandments. He said I new not sin but by the law. God Bless You
@@catholic4sure976 JESUS SAID “ If you love me, keep my commandments “ I love Jesus.
@@kac0404 What's is sin? Sin is the transgression of the law. 1John.3:4. But sin is not imputed when there is no law. Romans 5:13. If there's no law before Moses, How can adultery be a sin? Romans 5:14. said; Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, How that's death came, what brought death to this world? SIN, that's mean that's the law have to exist before Moses. Romans 5:12, Romans.4:15. Mark.2:27,28. And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath; Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.
@@kac0404 The Mosaic law came to be, because of sin. The law of God was before sin.
Colossians 2:16 Therefore, let no one judge you because of what you eat or drink or about the observance of annual holy days, New Moon Festivals, or weekly days of rest-holy days.
That is exactly correct , but what days are they talking about here, it can't be the seventh day Sabbath because GOD has said " remember the seventh day keep it holy " so it must be talking about other holy days other Sabbaths that the jews kept , maybe , yom kippor, or the feast of unleven bread , there are so many in the jewish calendar,
These texts in Colossians 2: 14-17 are speaking of the ceremonial laws being nailed to the Cross. The Ten Commandments were NEVER called Handwritings of ordinances which were contrary to us or against us.
The ceremonial laws were the sacrifice of animals for sins, Feast days, meat a drink offerings connected with the feast days, the ceremonial sabbath days, which were yearly, on different days of the week because they were controlled by the New Moon. The seventh day Sabbath was never called sabbath day(s), nor written in lowercase or with an s plural, they were never said to be against us or contrary to us, never called ordinances. The Ten Commandment’s are eternal, including the seventh day Sabbath. The ceremonial laws were contained in the Book of the Law written by Moses, the Ten Commandments were written by the finger of God.
The ceremonial laws contained in the Book of the Law were placed in the side of the Ark of the Covenant
Take this Book of the Law, and put it in the side of the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. Deuteronomy 31: 26(the same lingo as Colossians 2:14) the Ten Commandments were placed inside of the Ark of the Covenant along with a golden bowl of manna, and Aaron’s Rod that budded, they are eternal.
But the ceremonial laws were place on the outside to show they were taken away, no longer to be kept, because Jesus was the sacrifice that was slain, and fulfilled the animal sacrifices, feast days, meat and drink offerings, and the ceremonial sabbath days.
All throughout the Old and New Testament it says to keep the Ten Commandment’s, all Ten, including the Sabbath. You break one you break them all. James 2: 10.
Sin is transgression of the Law. 1 John 3:4
The Bible says we will be judged by the Law of Liberty ( Ten Commandments) , James 2 even quotes a couple so you know what commandments he is referring to.
If you love Me Keep My Commandments. John 14:15
He that hath My Commandment’s, AND KEEPETH THEM, he it is that LOVETH ME: and he it is that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him. John 14: 21
Read also Matthew 19:17
1 John 2: 3-5, Revelation 22: 14
Revelation 12: 17
At the end of Revelation 12: 17 says the Remnant Church keep the Commandment’s of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ. The Bible interprets it’s. Revelation 19: 10 says the Testimony of Jesus Christ, is the Spirit of Prophecy. Only one Church that has that.
These were a shadow of things to come-the crucifixion. Jesus fulfilled all of these. Circumcision was done away too, instead of literal circumcision, circumcision was of the heart.

Excellent presentation, Jim. Thank you and blessings!
Jim I got to give you credit, I love your delivery. You put it the way it is kindly. I wish my children could remember the way it was. early 20's the mind is not grown all the way, so much to learn in life. Learning independence. Harder on me than them. I have peace in my home. Not in the world or its future.
All we can do as parents Allen is pray that the Holy One will speak to them and they will listen....keep praying!
My brother it is so delightful to hear you present defending the true sabbathnof God....but to keep God's sabbath should be all about...the pleasure is opening the word sing songs unto God with the family....it is to learn from God shate the word with others, no games go in the quiet places of nature with your family, remeber the verse that says not having your own thoughts, not doing your own thing, no movie no documentary, switch it all off.
It is all about your Creature on His day.

@@bobmiller1615 To avoid being persecuted in those days it was bad for Jews to follow another belief. Example is Saul before he talked to Jesus on the road to Damascus. What was he doing? Hunting Jews that converted to Christianity!
Wish I had been raised in Truth so I could have raised my family in Truth. Unfortunately, I didn't know, they didn't learn, they didn't raise their children in Truth. I can only pray they find Truth before it's too late.

We began keeping the Sabbath years ago and found the next logical step was finding a local congregation of Sabbath Keepers. We are so blessed to have many new close friendships with fellow Sabbath keeping Christians. …. “Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy [convocation].” Lev 23:3 (NKJV)
Jim... I'm Rick. I have kept the Sabbath for a long time. Finding the blessings God has prepared for us every day, but most especially on Shabbat! Glory and honor to God brother for His grace is sufficient and completely fulfilling of His love! My issue has always been to be able to adequately share this message with my many friends because of a lack of complete conversion to God's words.

Mr. Jim Staley says at aprox 5:30 mins in: "Did you know that even the Gentiles are expected to keep the sabbath in the NT..." No, I didn't know that. Where? Thats not in Acts 15:21.
Acts 15:21 the subject of the sentence is "Moses."

Where is the word for Gentiles in that verse? The old covenant law was only for the Jews and those living with them (2Chr 6:11 the LORD made the Covenant with the Children of Israel, Not the World, or in Deut 5:3 Only those "here" at Mt Horeb). So, when it was preached, it was not for Gentile believers not living with the Jews. (Ninevites in the book of Jonah for example ) Imagine if the commandment, not to build a fire on the Sabbath, was given to the Eskimos?) And since it is making a statement on what HAS happened in the past; where does it say it's for Gentiles in the New Covenant (NC)? If someone makes the Statement: "Hitler taught that killing the Jews was the will of God." Are they agree or disagreeing with Hitler? It doesn't say. ... Its just stating a fact. Hitler taught... Same with Acts 15:21. It says nothing except that, Moses had the Law of Moses taught in Synagogues on the Sabbath. You are Extrapolating the text.
You are telling New Covenant gentile Christians that they are expected to keep the Sabbath. My dear friend, for your own wellbeing, ... You better be careful to be standing on the WORD of GOD, not your own private interpretation of a verse that you have add content to, to get it to say what you want it to say. Where in the Bible are NC gentile Christians expected to keep the Sabbath, like you said? ... If not, my dear friend, you are violating Deut 4:2 and Rev 22:19. Acts Chapter 15 plainly instructs NC Christians that Circumcision is not required (the sign of the Abrahamic Covenant), and only the four listed things are brought into the NC.
Galatians chapter 4 plainly says the "Mount Sini Covenant" ... and to "Cast out" the Mount Sini Covenant.
Thank you for helping us know how to keep the sabbath and keep it and is set apart. Thank you
We just started keeping the Sabbath. I must admit, it's been a little difficult since I'm use to always cooking. Trying to prepare better, please pray for us🙏
Remember, it's an ongoing journey of learning and growing. Your heart is to keep shabbat, that pleases the Father :) Blessings and shalom. Lisa - PFT Staff.
@@PassionForTruthVideo thank you, I appreciate this 🙏
Anointed teaching! Amen to how the LORD blesses those who honor Shabbat. Those blessings happened in a BIG way to my family and our relationship with Him. Thank you Jim!
..it would be interesting to hear your testimony Jim, of how your eyes were open to the many truths found in scripture that mankind has been trampling underfoot from ancient times.
I myself have endeavored to walk in the old paths for over five decades. It is so good more and more are recognizing these truths.
@@Elizabeth-rk3do
Hello Elizabeth,..there are many instances in scripture that our Father calling characters of low places to repentance, and then then use them for His purposes.
Paul was such a one, didn't he persecute the church? Didn't even David have Elihu slain inthe heat of battle? And was Judah right to ho into Tamar? It is easy for us to point a finger, but ate we without any sin Elizabeth?
Let's continue to test everything being taught and cement the promises to those that remain faithful until the end.
Since a few months, we started to celebrate the Sabbath as well; it didn't go without picking a fight (kids got very rebelious doing so). But now, a few months further on, we see nothing but blessings! We experience more and more the Lord in our lives. Also, our weekends seem longer as before. We, as a family, love it! And no, we are not Jewish. But, Matthew 5:17-20 Yeshua says that we can not simply do away with the 10 commandments. Matthew=New Testament/New Covenant.
So, we are glad we have seen this video a few months ago. Thank you, Jim!
May our Lord and Savior, Yeshua Ha'Moshiach, bless you and shine His Light upon you
Thank you! I love hearing a clear and concise explanation of the Sabbath. I’m still working on my family to grasp this. Tbh- I’m still working on myself to be consistently obedient from Friday to Saturday. Lol!
Thank you for these short videos. Great to watch with unbelieving family. Not too long so it holds their attention span. Great discussions afterwards 🙏🔥
Good to see many keeping the Sabbath…… Peace👍🏻
The first 4 commandments are about our relationship with God. The other commandments are about our relationship with the world. God Bless
I'm speechless excellent message been seeking more about this for awhile thank you for blessing my family with this Truth.
Thank you for your efforts in getting the truth out there.
That very first night that I finally experienced my prodigal child moment, back in 1998, Christ's first ever clear words to me were "YOU CAN REST NOW". He is the Lord of the Sabbath and we rest in Him every single day!
Yes you can rest any day you want, but still there's only 1 day He set apart, only 1 day He made Holy and that's the SABBATH day. It's a test whether you obey Him or not not. ITS UP YOU.. be bless my sister.
thanks for sharing
Thank you for this beautiful telling of the Lords Shabbat... I tell my friends..
Shabbat Shalom. Thank you for this teaching. Would like to see a revelation series at some point as well.
"For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works."
This passage of Scripture clearly evidences the fact that the Sabbath Day was only symbolic of a person's faith (i.e., solely resting) in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins. Mankind attempted to work his way to Heaven through self-righteousness, but he utterly failed (Romans 3:19; James 2:10). This is represented by man working 6-days prior to the Sabbath Day. Today, Jesus is our Sabbath, i.e., He is the fulfillment of what the Sabbath Day symbolized.
In Christ we solely and completely rest for salvation. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, He was buried, and He resurrected from the dead three days later according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-4. This is the gospel (good news) message that brings salvation to them that believe (Romans 1:16). Colossians 2:16,17 state, "...or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come..." A shadow is only cast when the sun is afar off in the distance. Once the sun rises overhead, the shadow vanishes away. Hence, when Jesus Christ fulfilled His earthly mission, He took the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross (Colossians 2:14). There is NO Sabbath Day today. It was nailed to the cross. Jesus has become our Sabbath, and in Him alone we rest for our salvation.
As you'll learn from the following passage of Scripture, the Sabbath was indeed a picture of Jesus Christ, Who is our Sabbath today in Whom we completely rest for salvation. Hebrews 4:10, “For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.”
Anyone who adds observing or honoring the Sabbath Day as a requirement to get to Heaven is putting forth a FALSE plan of salvation. Adding human effort to the gospel horribly corrupts the plan of salvation. You cannot experience the new birth unless you acknowledge that you are a guilty sinner in God's eyes (Romans 3:19), and receive the gospel (good news) of Christ's death on the cross for your sins, His burial, and His bodily resurrection from the dead three days later (1st Corinthians 15:1-4).
Amen! thank you for sharing. Very well said.
Thanks Pastor Jim for opening my eyes regarding the 4th Commandment. I thought it was only okay if I don’t go to work but it implies a lot of other things as well.
May Elohim bleed you and your ministry!!
It's a lie Ofelina....Here's a good explanation...th-cam.com/video/98hq1AGzkR8/w-d-xo.html
You mean Bless, Pastor Jim 😊
Amen! Praise God and the Lord Jesus Christ! I kept the Sabbath for more than 30yrs as a gentile!
Thank you for this message!
THE SEAL OF GOD: ARE THOSE WHO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS(YESHUA)
Short and sweet. Right to the point and excellent to share with others. Two points I would like to address. 1). I believe your definition of the word “pleasure” does not include work and is mis-used. 2). I don’t know if you ever thought of this but, along with the opening lines of the Bible, the 4th Commandment includes the “SEAL of GOD”. That is, it includes His Name, “GOD”, His Title, “CREATOR”, His territory, “Heaven and earth”. This is how God shows us the authenticity of His Word. God bless you, your family, and your ministry.
If I had control of my schedule I would honor the sabbath, but for now I have to be a provider. I hope when I retire I can.
It is so nice. I'm hearing this right now about the Sabbath. but I also often have to work on Saturdays. Of course, if everybody would do this there wouldn't be people who also need help on Saturday. What can we do?
glory to YAH.Well said.Thank You so much,
You are very welcome!
Sabbath is the off-button to the noise of life and a day when the Father does not want to share you with the world.
Minute 14:57
Exodus 16:29 New International Version (NIV)
"Bear in mind that the LORD has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Everyone is to stay where they are on the seventh day; no one is to go out.”
Note that I follow this channel, the only thing I have to say is that. It is not meant to challenge or publicly hummiliate, we are all humans. Overall, this was an outstanding teaching.
Are you suggesting that Exodus 16:29 forbids us from leaving our houses in general? If so, then that's simply not the case. The context is clearly that of not leaving your house in the search of Manna. If not, then I'm not exactly sure what you mean.
Amen this is what I day Sabbeth is Holy we are set apart that's why after church I love taking my blessing home
Amen 🙏 just a comment that I’m sure many people consider. How is it possible that the pastors, ministers and clergy doesn’t teach this? Here is what I think to myself: how can it be possible that these great men of God Almighty don’t
know these scriptures? To me it’s impossible these men of great fervent gospel fire wouldn’t be convicted by the Shekinah Glory to know the difference between the days. This video is short and it can go much deeper into why we keep the Shabbat and why it was changed and what it worships. That’s not necessarily important but to understand why men like Vodi Bachmann,
David Wilkerson, many many many more don’t know or worse they know but are deceiving us. Wouldn’t that be a complete head spin? I think about this all the time and I really don’t want to believe it but what else can you think? The Holy Spirit would not allow a true man of the Almighty to be deceived! Satan came to kill steal and destroy and if he is in control of this men that would blow my mind I just would be speechless yet what else could it be? Man it hurts me to even consider this! So what do we do about this? Do you stop listening to this sun worshippers that speak in what seems to be bold truth! What am I missing here? There are some pastors that you can easily see that are apostate, then there are others that just completely make you think what is wrong with my thinking. Ok well that is pretty much my comment. All glory to the most high Yeshua Hamashiach! Peace be with thee 🕊🌾🙏
Great questions.
From my experience most folks are not interested in changing what they grew up knowing and hearing and practicing especially when faced with facts to prove they were "wrong".... Pride I think was one of the first sins.
@@clasreid2571 amen thank you for your comment you make a great point. Yeah I see you also wonder how in the heck can’t they not know just by the scripture alone then not be convicted and lead by the spirit? Yeah it continues to cause complexities in my own thoughts how can they be so right about so much but wrong about the sabbath day knowing? Then I think maybe I’m wrong but I look for it in scripture and I can’t find it? Ok brother appreciate you peace to yoi
Great Question! So let me answer you this way. Did you know there are over 45000 different religions in Christianity? Yet there is only one Word of God! Each one has there own church doctrine. Why is that when there is only one Word? Study the history of the church and you will find a lot of changes man has done. You will also find that millions over the ages were persecuted if they spoke up and disagreed with the church.
I don’t think Even Jim is able to keep the sabbath holy as God commanded. But teaching on to others to keep it. My sabbath is Christ. He fulfilled it. And I’m resting on Him for My salvation. Only Him, not in myself. My sabbath day is everyday in Christ.
Your emotions deceive you. The Sabbath is a sign between God and His people. And, make no mistake about it, the Most High expects you to keep it. That is, if you belong to Him.
_Ezekiel 20:20 HCSB Keep My Sabbaths holy, and they will be a sign between Me and you, so you may know that I am the LORD your God._
@@sourmilkministries9445 I’m not a Jew. And I’m not in the old covenant. show me in NT scripture where it’s says i should keep the sabbath? Then I will believe that I’m deceived. Till that you trying to deceive me by putting burden on me.
@@suganemmenaul You said at least four things that are wrong:
1.) The Sabbath is not for Jews. It's for EVERYONE who's in Covenant with God, including you!
Isaiah 56:6-7 NKJV "Also the sons of the foreigner (NON-JEWS) Who join themselves to the LORD, to serve Him, And to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants- 👉Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,👈 And holds fast My covenant- (7) Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations."
2.) You're right, you're not under the Old Covenant, you're under the New Covenant, which means that Yah's Laws (His Torah) is written in your mind and on your heart. So then, how is it that you suppose that the Torah doesn't include the Sabbath? Particularly so when you consider that the Sabbath is one of the TEN Commandments, NINE of which you keep! Thus, your "I’m not in the old covenant" contention is 90% self-defeating right from the very start, at least as far as the Sabbath is concerned!
Hebrews 8:10 NRSV This is the [New] covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws [Torah] in their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
(And, oh, BTW: If you're in Christ then YOU are Israel. I can prove that too!)
3.) Why do you suppose that any particular Commandment has to be explicitly repeated in the New Testament in order to be valid? Where do the Scriptures tell you that? Nonetheless, let say for the sake of argument that the Sabbath Commandment isn't explicitly repeated, because it's actually not. But, then again, keep in mind that neither is the Commandment to not have sex with animals. So, do you really want to go there? Moreover, the fact of the matter is that NONE of the first four Commandments (of the TEN) are explicitly repeated. So, do you think that you can also have other Gods? Make idols? Or use the Lord's Name in vain? Of course, not!
4.) The Scriptures say that Yah's Commandments are not a burden. Though, it would seem that you currently think otherwise. I said "currently" because hopefully you are a truth seeker, which would mean that you would welcome sound correction. I guess we'll see.
1 John 5:3 NKJV For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And 👉His commandments are not burdensome.👈
Mark 2:27 NKJV And He said to them, "The Sabbath was made 👉for man👈, and not man for the Sabbath.
Isaiah 58:13 NKJV "If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, 👉And call the Sabbath a delight,👈 The holy day of the LORD honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words,
Shalom
@@suganemmenaul _"I’m not a Jew."_
What does that have to do with the Sabbath? Are you suggesting that the Sabbath is only for "Jews". If so, then you are mistaken:
Isaiah 56:6-7 NKJV "Also the sons of the foreigner Who join themselves to the LORD, to serve Him, And to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants- 👉Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath👈, And holds fast My covenant- (7) Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations."
The Sabbath is for anyone in Covenant with the Most High.
_"And I’m not in the old covenant."_
Of course you're not under the Old Covenant, and nether am I. But, again, what does that have to do with the Sabbath? Being under the Law of Christ (AKA: The New Covenant) simply means that God's Laws (His Torah) is written in your mind and on your heart. So then, just why do you suppose that the Sabbath is not one of those Laws? Particularly in light of the fact that it's one of the TEN Commandments, NINE of which you keep!
_"show me in NT scripture where it’s says i should keep the sabbath?_
Are you suggesting that a Commandment of God must be specifically reiterated in the NT to be valid? Where do the Scriptures say any such thing? They don't, because that's not true. And, mind you, this Commandment is also not specifically reiterated in the NT:
Leviticus 18:23 NKJV Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion.
Surely, you're not going to suggest that we can that, are you?
_"Till that you trying to deceive me by putting burden on me."_
1 John 5:3 NKJV For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
Great message for all!
Amen. God bless you all abundantly and shabbat shalom.
I found Christ late in life,didn’t raise my boys up in the way to go.So they don’t understand my Faith but they sure like keeping the Sabbath.
I thank God that i found Seventhday Adventist because we are keeping the Sabbath holy...
In frustration, my wife and I have been seeking and trying to find a church. I know you will understand this when I say a church like Philadelphia in Revelation. A church with Hebrew roots not just Jewish roots. A church that that's not afraid of throwing meat on the plate. Trust me, they are few and far between. It seems we're living in the church age I called churchianity Scripture calls it the age of or church of Laodicea, and we must try to overcome that church. So it's been very difficult. But as I was praying and seeking the Father's heart on the subject. The next thing I know I was watching your video. The set apart of Spirit of YHVH lead me to your teaching and it gave me hope. I'm not sure what part of the country you're in but I'm in Phoenix Arizona hoping you have a satellite church out here. If not, we will be watching you every Shabbat. Pray for us, as the world is getting darker and darker. Help us to shine brighter and brighter in Yeshua Hamashiach Name.
Quick question, I believe we've been living in the last days for 2000 years. I also understand in the scripture the church will fall away in the last days. I often point to 321 A.D. and Constantine decree to make Christianity the official religion of Rome as the starting point of that falling away. Your thoughts?
Remember the foot washing and Communion,do this in Remembrance of Me.
Spot on, excellent. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
EXCELLENT explanation !!! God bless you !!!
Wonderful. God bless you. Thank you for sharing a very clear perspectives on what is the real meaning of Sabbath.
Isaiah 58:13
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on My holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of The LORD, honourable; and shalt honour Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
Amen!!! Shabbat Shalom Mishpocha… may HaShem bless everyone..
Sabbath yes thanks for your semons stay blessed Shalom
This is beautiful and can only be argued by recalcitrant christians and apostate pastors . What ever we do wrongly in the commandments requires our heart felt apologize and a u_turn you can call it repentance not condescending low to say it can not be done. Sunday as Sabbath day is a mistake, christians should repent and do the right thing.
I believe it's ALL Sabbaths.. Saturday and the feasts and festivals
There are 7 Festivals/Feast that the bible commands us to observe . Within those Feast some days are considered High Holy days. On those days we are to follow the same rules as for Sabbath
If it's the sign, mark, you are His, then it is important to keep Sabbath
It is indeed! And keeping the Shabbat it's also a blessing for you and for the family
Most of the practices of Christianity is Romanized. Lent, Easter, Christmas, sacraments… Christianity was a Jewish established religion. We were NEVER meant to be separated from our Jewish brothers and sisters. We are grafted in, not repotted! Passover, Sukkot, Shavuot, Purim- all of these are wonderful feast holidays that glorify the power of God and Jesus!
Thank you for your comment Cary. You are right Rome infected not just our culture but the way we worship our God too. We were never supposed to be separated from to covenant with YHWH made to Israel, but we are not Jews. We love and respect our older brothers and the desire of our heart is to be united again. but the way to do that, like it is written in the prophecy, is in the Messiah's hand. We are not looking to turn ourselves into Jews but into Israel, where there is space for 12 different tribes. Don't forget they are just 2 of the 12. I hope this makes our perspective clearer for you. Blessings!
Vivi
Very good explanation. Easy to follow. Keep up the good work.
It is clear that the Sabbath was a sign to Israel of the mosaic covenant (Exodus 31, 16-17, Ezekiel 20,12, Nehemia 9,14) Since we are now under the new Covenant (Hebrew 8) we are no longer required to observe the sign of the mosaic covenant .
The new Testament never commands us Christians to observe the Sabbath.
When the Apostles met in Jerusalem (Acts 15) they did NOT impose Sabbath keeping on the Gentiles believers.
There are no evidence in the bible of anyone keeping the Sabbath before the time of Moses.
So here are just a few reasons that we christians don't have to observe the Sabbath. If you will do that, do it. But you can't say that it is wrong if we don't.
Thank you
Truth.
He already read the passage on Acts, watch it again. Jesus already told during his ministry he did not come to abolish the Laws and until heaven and earth had not passed not even a title or yod shall be abolished.
If you are using Paul's writing
Collosians 2:16
Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.
He was talking to the new convert gentiles, who will judge them? Of course those who were outside the congregation(non-converts) not those inside already who will judge them.
Jesus warned those who call him Lord and doing miracles on his name but doing LAWLESSNESS (non doer of the Law).
Read Deut 18:18-20.
Jesus will not speak differently from what his Father commanded him.
@@nobodybutHIM777 I didn't say in any word that Jesus abolished the laws. He fulfilled the laws.
I am not lawlessness. I guess you didn't understand me. Deut 18,18-22 are pretty good verses.
Can you answer me one question?
When the Israelites got the manna they weren't allowed to pick up the seeds for two days only on the 6th day. They should pick up seeds for two days because of the Sabbath. When Jesus run around with his disciples, the disciples were picking up wheat from the field, because they were hungry. The thing is that day it was Sabbath. The Pharisees came to Jesus and asked him why his disciples do that. What did Jesus do? He defended his disciples even this happend on Sabbath. WHY????
That was totally forbidden. That is what the law said...
No I am very excited for your answer...
Sabbath is from creation.
The calendar resets each year with the sun changing the Shabbat each year. And months are witnessed by the moon. Would be very interested in him doing a calendar study. Love your work brother. Blessings and shalom
So how are you suppose to keep a job, if the sabbath changes all the time? Like, I'm just going to randomly not come in every week or every other month on different days?? I can't find a good job as it is that won't have me work on Sat.
God help me, I'm so sick of the confusion.
GODS calender never changes, it is the same today as it was at the time of creation , GOD bless
The months revolve around the lunar cycle. The weekly Sabbath does not move.
@@shellyvandyke7362The 7 day cycle was given by God, ordained independent of the lunar and solar cycles. Don't despair, keep the 7th day Sabbath with confidence. If there was any error, Yahshua would have corrected it while He was here. He didn't.
@@shellyvandyke7362 follow the world or follow God your choice but there are plenty of examples of this in scripture.
It's a question of authority. John 14:15
I've been teaching this in my Bible Study for a while now.
Great teaching! Shabbat Shalom!!
