10 I was in the Spirit on the day of the Lord, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, —REVELATION 1:10

Continuing our study of Revelation 1:10 and the Lord's Day, and since we have covered the evangelical errors about the Sabbath regarding when, how and where it should appear in the scriptures, let us now focus on an even more dangerous growing trend: “There is No Sabbath to Observe”, referring to a text by Paul that is very poorly understood by practically the entire evangelical world—

16 Therefore, no one judges you food or drink, or regarding holidays, new moon or rest days,—COLOSSIANS 2:16

That is, there is no Sabbath to observe, whether Saturday or Sunday.

On this occasion we will analyze an article titled What is the Lord's Day in Revelation 1:10?, published by the ministry arc Ministries, in his web page For What Saith the Scripures, which translated is From What The Scriptures Say. Please note that this is a direct response to its author,

Here I leave the original article, with the translation, if you want to read it.

WHICH "THE DAY OF THE LORD" FROM REVELATION 1:10?
by Shawn Brasseaux

"I was in the Spirit in the days of the Lord, and I heard a loud voice behind me, like a trumpet." (Revelation 1:10). What is the "Day of the Lord" here? Look in the Bible, my friend! Do not blindly accept the idle speculations of men!

One theologian wrote the following about Revelation 1:10: "The day of the Lord. This phrase appears in many early Christian writings and refers to Sunday, the day of the Lord's resurrection. Some have suggested that this phrase refers to ' 'the Day of the Lord', but the context does not support that interpretation, and the grammatical form of the word 'Lord' is adjectival, therefore 'the day of the Lord'."

His words are quite the opposite of reality. Notice how he, like so many "scholars," uses "Christian writings" to develop his theology instead of using the Bible to develop his theology. Christian writings No they have spiritual authority; No They are inspired by God. The Bible It is inspired by God. We do not use the writings of men to define the terms of the Bible! This theologian's suggestions are completely ridiculous! What difference would it make if John were writing the Revelation one day? Sunday?! What does it have to do on Sunday with biblical prophecy? Absolutely nothing, friend! They are just vain speculations of men who are more interested in promoting their theology than in teaching the Word of God. The context supports the interpretation "the Lord's Day" and does not support "Sunday." Let me show you.

FIRST, A CORRECTION TO SOME RELATED CONFUSION

Before we begin, we need to clear up the confusion that denominationalism has created. According to religious tradition, Sunday is "the Lord's day" and "the Christian Sabbath." This is due to a misinterpretation of Revelation 1:10, which actually refers to the "Day of the Lord", the seven-year Tribulation.  "The Day of the Lord" ("the day of the Lord") is neither Saturday nor Sunday. There is no such thing as "observance of the Lord's Day" in the Bible, which is a religious teaching, No a biblical teaching.

According to the Bible, the Sabbath has been and always It will be the Sabbath. Jesus Christ was resurrected on Sunday, the first day of the week (Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:1; Luke 24:1; John 20:1). This would make the last day of the week, Saturday, the Sabbath. Please understand that on Saturday never It was Sunday in the Bible and never It will be Sunday in the Bible! Using Dispensational Bible Study, "rightly dividing the word of truth" As 2 Timothy 2:15 instructs, we can determine whether or not we are obligated to observe the Sabbath (which is Saturday, not Sunday, remember). More specifically, we will learn how the "Day of the Lord" of Revelation 1:10, the first day of the week of Acts 20:7 and 1 Corinthians 16:1-2, and the Jewish Sabbath are three separate days in the Bible. There is too much mixing of the three and making them all refer to one day.

REVELATION 1:10—RECEIVED ON SUNDAY?!

"I was in the Spirit on the day of the Lord, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet."  Why would the apostle John (or the Holy Spirit) think it was necessary to be sure that we know that John received his revelation on Sunday? That is frankly absurd! No one in the Bible ever noted what day of the week they wrote. They mentioned the month, or the year, or the date of the month, but they never mentioned "Monday", "Tuesday", etc. This makes us conclude that the term "Day of the Lord" in Revelation 1:10 it does not have nothing What to do with Sunday. As we already saw, one theologian admitted that he defined the term as such because "Christian writings" defined it as such. He had no biblical support for his belief. Friends, instead of repeating what others they speculate about the verse, why not look at the context and let the context define the term?

What is the apostle John writing about in the book of Revelation? The seven-year Tribulation period and subsequent kingdom. It is the time when the wrath of God is poured out on sinful man and Jesus Christ is exalted above all. What do the Old Testament Scriptures say about this?

The King James Bible uses the term "the day of the Lord" 29 times. The first example is Isaiah 2:11-12: "[11] The lofty gaze of man will be humbled, and the haughtiness of men will be bowed, and only Jehovah will be exalted on that day. [12] Because on the day of the LORD armies will be over everyone who is proud and elevated, and over everyone who is lifted up; and it will be taken down:" And, verse 17: "... and only the Lord will be exalted on that day."  According to these verses, during this period of "Lord's day" (No a literal 24-hour period), God will judge arrogant and unbelieving humanity. If you study the "Day of the Lord" In other verses, you will see that the term actually refers to a period of God's vengeance (Isaiah 61:2; Joel 1:15; et al.). Does God pour out His wrath every Sunday? Ridiculous.

He "Day of the Lord" in Revelation 1:10 is another way of saying the "Day of the Lord."  What is the apostle John writing about in the book of Revelation? The seven-year Tribulation period and subsequent kingdom. He was supernaturally transported into the future, not to Sunday, but to the Lord's Day! He "Day of the Lord" No is  Sunday, but actually a long period of time: the future seven-year Tribulation and the following 1000-year reign of Christ in a literal, physical, visible earthly kingdom, when Christ is exalted as King of kings and Lord of lords.

Wow, without the religious gobbledygook, it's so clear!

CONCLUSION

On Sunday it has nothing to do with the book of Revelation. By what authority do people say that Revelation 1:10 is a reference to Sunday? They have no biblical support. Rather they are repeating what others have speculated about the verse! In reality, it is nothing more than Roman Catholic tradition. Many thanks to Rome (and Satan) for all this confusion!

Absolutely, Saturday is Saturday. Always It was Saturday, and always It will be Saturday. We have no Sabbath to observe, says Colossians 2:16, in this the Dispensation of Grace. When the saints in the Body of Christ were gathered together in Acts 20:7 and 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 that No It was to observe the "day of the Lord." These verses never they call it that. To say otherwise is to mistakenly assume that Sunday replaced the Jewish Sabbath. Furthermore, Sunday (the so-called "Lord's day") replacing Saturday is nothing more than church tradition. Converting the Sabbath into Sunday and converting the Day of Revelation of the Lord into Sunday has no no biblical support, friend. Just throw it all away and save the Bible verses!

Let's review the first paragraph of this article:

“I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, like a trumpet.” (Revelation 1:10). What is the “Lord's Day” here? Look in the Bible, my friend! Do not blindly accept the idle speculations of men!

“I was in the Spirit on the day of the Lord, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet” (Revelation 1:10). What is the “Day of the Lord” here? Look in the Bible, my friend! Do not blindly accept the idle speculations of men!

“Do not blindly accept the idle speculations of men” is a very firm statement, which would lead us to think that here we find a true servant of God. “But the serpent was cunning.”. and here my analysis begins...

While I think you seem sincere in your presentation of the topic, you actually add more confusion to the issue and end up in the same place as those you criticize for claiming that Sunday is the Lord's Day.

Of course Sunday is not the Lord's day. Only a clueless, naive and mediocre student of the scriptures can come to that conclusion. The word Sunday is not even in the Bible, because only the Sabbath is the only day of the week that is described by name in all of Scripture, yet you are adding to the Scriptures when you make two absurd statements (in ALL CAPS) :

He “Day of the Lord” in Revelation 1:10 It is another way of saying the “Day of the Lord.” What is the apostle John writing about in the book of Revelation? The Seven Year Tribulation Period and Subsequent Kingdom. HE WAS SUPERNATURALLY TRANSPORTED INTO THE FUTURE, NOT TO SUNDAY, BUT TO THE DAY OF THE LORD!

1. HE WAS SUPERNATURALLY TRANSPORTED INTO THE FUTURE, NOT TO SUNDAY, BUT TO THE DAY OF THE LORD!

2. WE HAVE NO SABBATH DAY TO OBSERVE (at the end of the article).

The first statement is just a figment of your imagination, and clearly shows very poor discernment of the Bible. Where does the Bible say that John was supernaturally transported to the future in this vision?

You are failing to follow the guide Isaiah 28:10-13 and you're stuck on one verse. If you read Revelation 1:9, You will see that John speaks first of the place where he is at the time of receiving the vision, the island of Patmos. Then in verse 10 he goes on to say what day of the week this happens: The day of the Lord, which is the seventh day, Saturday.

John was not transported to a future Sabbath, or that SEVEN YEAR tribulation period you mention. HE WAS ON PATMOS, ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND THEN THE VISION WAS SHOWN TO HIM RIGHT THERE. Read carefully, first he was on Patmos on that Sabbath, and then the vision came afterwards, not that the Sabbath was part of the vision:

The first statement is just a work of his imagination, and clearly shows very poor discernment of the Bible. Where does the Bible say that John was supernaturally transported to the future in this vision?

You are failing to follow the guide Isaiah 28:10-13 and you're stuck on a verse. If you read Revelation 1:9, you will see that John first talks about the place he is in right now, the island of Patmos. Then in verse 10 he goes on to say what day of the week this happens: The day of the Lord, which is the seventh-day Sabbath. You are still failing at something very basic:

13 The word therefore of the Lord will be to them commandment after commandment, mandate upon mandate, line after line, line after line, a little there, a little there; until they go and fall on their backs, and are broken, bound, and taken. —ISAIAH 58:13

The first statement is just a work of his imagination, and clearly shows very poor discernment of the Bible. Where does the Bible say that John was supernaturally transported to the future in this vision?

You are failing to follow the guidance of Isaiah 28:10-13 and are stuck on one verse. If you read Revelation 1:9, you will see that John first talks about the place he is in right now, the island of Patmos. Then in verse 10 he goes on to say what day of the week this happens: The day of the Lord, which is the seventh-day Sabbath.

John was not transported to a Sabbath in the future, that SEVEN YEAR tribulation period that you mention. HE WAS ON PATMOS, ON THE SABBATH DAY, and then he was shown the vision right there. Read carefully, first he was on Patmos on that Sabbath, and then the vision came afterwards:

9 I Juan, your brother, and your partner in the tribulation, in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island called Patmos, BECAUSE OF THE WORD OF GOD AND THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST.
10 I was in the spirit ON THE DAY OF THE LORD, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
11 which said: I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last. Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches that are in Asia: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. —REVELATION 1:9-11

John speaks of the tribulation he is enduring at that moment because of the word of God and the Testimony of Jesus. That is the persecution, which is why he was on Patmost, a prison island for him.

What is the apostle John writing about in the book of Revelation? The seven-year Tribulation period and subsequent kingdom. It is the time when the wrath of God is poured out on sinful man and Jesus Christ is exalted above all..

OK, if we go by what you are teaching here, then it means that Christ has already come a second time.

That wrath of God and that exaltation of Jesus Christ, of which you speak, are nothing other than the end of time. (APC. 6:16, 14:10). The problem here is that you have said that Lord's day of Revelation 1:0 It is a period of 7 years and that John was on that day (“period”) when he received the vision. However, by mentioning that John was there on that day when they received the vision, what you are saying is that John witnessed the second coming of Christ, and—therefore, that event already happened. And my question is this: Has Christ already come a second time? No, my friend, your story just doesn't add up.

Yes, you talk about a seven-year tribulation period. And while you say it is a period of seven years, John speaks of the day of the Lord, And that's just one day! Clearly that is a reference to the day of the Lord, Seventh day Sabbath, about which you made a very ridiculous statement:

2. “WE DO NOT HAVE A DAY OF REST TO OBSERVE.”

Did you really mean that? Do I really have to show you what the Bible says about the Sabbath? Well, I guess so:

10 but the seventh day is a rest to the Lord your God […] —EXOD. 20:10

10  By tanto, The son of the Man is Lord even of the Sabbath. —MAT. 12:8, MAR. 2:28

And the interesting thing is that before pronouncing those blasphemous words—well you are not God to give that new commandment, you said that […] Saturday is Saturday. It was always Saturday, and it always will be Saturday.” And if Saturday WILL ALWAYS BE Saturday, how does it mean that we don't have a Saturday to observe? What does the Bible say?

22 Because as the new skies and the new earth that I do SHALL REMAIN before me, says the LORD, so will your descendants and your name remain.
23 And from month to month, and from Sabbath day to Sabbath day, ALL FLESH will come to worship before me, says the LORD. —ISAIAH 66:22-23

This text talks about three things: worship, Sabbath, and eternity. And don't we have a Sabbath to observe? Or are you going to tell me that you also believe the story that, after God himself had rested in creation—giving example and order for Adam (HOSEA. 6:7), then he gives the commandment to the people he brought out of Egypt, cancels it on the cross, by grace, for Christians—and for Israel by extension, then God will give it again in eternity, for Israel exclusively.?

What I see now is that you are even more confused than those you are trying to reject, and it seems that you are just laying the groundwork, making excuses to hold a personal belief that you cannot back up with the Bible.

Of course, context is critical when we study anything in the Bible. Most of the time, when the Bible refers to the day of the Lord without further details or description, it is referring to the Sabbath of the seventh day of the week. On other occasions, the context is very clear in the text itself. When it is another day or event, a description always follows or precedes it, as in the following:

11 And the Lord will give his order before his army; because their camp is very large; Strong is he who executes his order; For great is the day of the Lord, and very terrible; who can bear it? —JOEL 2:11

Clearly, the Bible is not talking about the Sabbath here, because is the seventh day of Sabbath a “very terrible” day?

5 such be handed over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. —1 CORINTHIANS 5:5

Here, the context or description speaks directly to the second coming of Jesus. But when Jesus said...

28 Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath. —MARK 2:28

…was he talking about a “very terrible” day? Or is he talking about his Seventh-day Sabbath, which he gave us at creation?

And not only did John receive the first vision of Revelation on the day of the Lord, but he did it in the spirit of that day. That is to say, was keeping or observing the Sabbath that day.

Finally, and to put the final nail in the coffin, again, we must follow the instructions of Isaiah 28:13:

13 The word therefore of the Lord will be to them commandment after commandment, mandate upon mandate, line after line, line after line, a little there, a little there; until they go and fall on their backs, and are broken, bound, and taken. —ISAIAH 58:13

I think you tried to do this, but you fell short, VERY SHORT, because of your closed vision of Saturday. You have put it in your head, without biblical support, that the Sabbath, like Sunday, should not be observed, and so you fell into an even deeper hole than those you were “questioning” in your study. Or could it be that your intention was always to destroy the Sabbath, even if you took Sunday with it?

And you said that Sunday “has absolutely nothing” to do with Bible prophecy. Well, we would like to invite you to take a walk around Daniel 7:25 and Jeremiah 8:8.

And another thing, in fact, there is no such thing in the word of God as “the Jewish Sabbath” that you mention.” In the Bible we find the Sabbath and that's it. God did not give any Sabbath to the Jews, but the Jews were given the same Sabbath that was given to Adam at creation. (GEN. 2:1-3, 2:17, HOSEA 6:7). And in Adam it was given to all humanity (MAR. 2:27, ISA. 66:22-23).

You say that Revelation 1:10 It does not refer to either Saturday or Sunday because NOBODY in the Bible he never noticed what day of the week they wrote," and that “they never mentioned “Monday”, “Tuesday”, etc.” Nobody? Well, it is precisely Revelation 1:10 that contradicts you. And since you are ignorant, you assume that everyone is the same as you. The word of God says—

1 The word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying:

2 Son of Man, write the date of this day; The king of Babylon laid siege to Jerusalem this same day. EZEKIEL 24:1-2

Did Ezequiel know what day he was writing? Did you write down the date? And of course he wasn't going to say Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, because—as established in the Bible, Saturday is the only day given by name, by God himself. And if the Holy Spirit impressed John to realize and write about the day he received his vision, it was precisely so that today we all seek the path of truth we have one more tool against heresies like the ones you bring.

You wrote that—

As we have already seen, a theologian admitted that he defined the term [Sunday] as such because the “Christian writings” defined it as such. He had no biblical support for his belief.

And the Sabbath, doesn't it have biblical support? Who is the Lord of the Lord's Day, do I have to remind you?

13 If you withdraw your foot from the Sabbath day, from doing your will on my holy day, and call it a delight, holy, glorious of the Lord; and you will venerate him […] —ISAIAS 58:13

28 Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath. —MARK 2:28

So do you reach “biblical” conclusions based on what a “scholar” out there says or based on what is written? You formulated your entire study around this premise: of the distorted teachings of a scholar. And since a scholar distorted the word of God, you were forced to distort it even more. Tremendous example, my friend.

Your attack on the word of God is summarized this way—

Absolutely, the Sabbath is Saturday. It was always Saturday, and it always will be Saturday. We have no Sabbath to observe, says Colossians 2:16, in this the Dispensation of Grace.

For not understanding a simple biblical text, look where the devil takes you, and how deep you have fallen. And this text from Colossians 2:16 is one of the favorites of evangelicals against the Sabbath, particularly if we expand it, following the instructions of Isaiah 28:13

13 And you, being dead in sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made alive together with him, forgiving you all your sins,
14 annulling the record of the decrees that were against us, which was contrary to us, taking it out of the way and nailing it to the cross,
15 and dispossessing the principalities and powers, he made a public display of them, triumphing over them on the cross.

16 Therefore, no one judges you food or drink, or as soon as to holidays, new moon or rest days,
17 all of which is a shadow of what is to come; but the body is Christ's. —COLOSSIANS 2:13-17

According to the evangelical world, this text clearly says that God's law was nailed to the cross. Well, let's see if it's true.

First, let's look at verse 16, as it was directly referenced by our friend Shawn Brasseaux. The text says that no one Let no one judge us in food or drink, or in regard to festival days, new moon or Sabbath days. Here Paul is not referring to the Sabbath, but to the Sabbaths, or solemn (ceremonial) feasts that we see in Leviticus 23. In another article by Brasseaux that I was reading he said that “the Sabbath was ceremonial.” That's where he gets the idea that we don't have a rest to observe, from a distortion, his own imagination.

Let's review Leviticus 23, briefly-

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: The solemn festivals of the Lord, which you will proclaim as holy convocations, will be these:
3 Six days will be worked, more the seventh day will be rest, holy convocation; you will do no work; Sabbath is of Jehovah wherever you live.
4 These are the solemn festivals of Jehovah, the holy convocations, which you will call in their times:

5 In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the two evenings, is Jehovah's Passover. […] —LEVITICUS 23″1-5 […]

If you pay careful attention, Saturday is named among the solemn festivals, the first of all. And that is why evangelicals believe that the Sabbath was ceremonial, but in reality this is not the case. Note, that God gives the same instructions about the Sabbath that we see in Exodus 20:9: you will do no work; Sabbath is from Jehovah wherever you live. and Here is their miscalculation. The Sabbath had to be kept even during the solemn festivals, since the Sabbath itself is a weekly solemn festival, but it is not ceremonial, where we meet clearly with God, and this could not stop under any other circumstances, otherwise God would remain a liar. .

If the Sabbath had not been included here in Leviticus 23, then there would be a contradiction with Exodus 20, in addition to Genesis 2, because the texts are very clear: “God rested” and commands you to rest every seventh day of the week. If for some reason this is stopped to celebrate, say another solemn holiday, then Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:12-14 and all other biblical passages that refer to the Sabbath are not fulfilled at that time, and it becomes a sin (1 JOHN 3:4), and the commandment is broken, something prohibited by the word of God (SGO. 2:10-12).

The other point of Leviticus 23 is, if you pay attention, is that when you read verse 4 you will notice that the feasts are announced again, as if the Sabbath had not been announced. This is why I already explained to you above, the Sabbath could not be stopped, and truly the ceremonial festivals begin from verse 4, and in verses 1 to 3 God is simply telling us that the Sabbath must continue to be observed and should not be stopped. But how can we be so sure of this? Well, following the principle of Isaiah 28:13, “searching the scriptures”, line upon line, as Jesus also told us in John 5:23.

And following that principle, we find the following:

55 And the women who had come with him from Galilee followed also, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.
56 And they returned and prepared spices and ointments; and they rested on the Sabbath day, according to the commandment. —LUKE 23:55-56

This text is lethal for those who say that “in the New Testament neither Jesus nor the disciples ordered the Church to keep the Sabbath.” This happened just after the death of Jesus, and is very clear evidence that the Sabbath was not nailed to the cross, as happened with most of the rites typical of those solemn festivals. Yes, as you heard, rituals.

13 And you, being dead in sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made alive together with him, forgiving you all your sins,
14 annulling the record of the decrees that were against us, which was contrary to us, taking it out of the way and nailing it to the cross,
15 and dispossessing the principalities and powers, he made a public display of them, triumphing over them on the cross.

16 Therefore, no one judges you food or drink, or as soon as to holidays, new moon or rest days,
17 all of which is a shadow of what is to come; but the body is Christ's. —COLOSSIANS 2:13-17

Verse 14 presents that the record of decrees was annulled at the cross. Evangelicals point out that this act of the dectros is the law of the ten commandments, particularly when this text is compared with a similar one in the book of Ephesians, written by Paul himself—

14 For he is our peace, who made both peoples one, breaking down the middle wall of separation,
15 abolishing in his flesh the enmities, lto the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, to create in himself from the two one new man, making peace,

16 and through the cross reconcile both with God in one body, killing enmities in it. EPHESIANS 2:14-16

“Checkmate” is the expression that critics of the law always use every time they give this text, well—after all, “there the law of the ten commandments was abolished.” Yes of course. Once again, they are not scrutinizing. First, the text says commandments, not the ten commandments, and the Bible speaks of many commandments that are not the ten commandments. Second, the text says “the commandments expressed in ordinances“. And here everyone slips...

“Ah, those are the ordinances of the ten commandments,” they say. Well no. Once again, because commandment after commandment, command upon command, line after line, line upon line, a little there, a little there“. These texts come from the Reina Valera 1960, a relatively modern Bible. We see both texts in an older version:

14 scratching the ID of the RITES that it was contrary to us, that it was against us, removing it from the middle and nailing it to the cross;, […] —COLOSSIANS 2:14 (Ancient Reina Valera, 1602)

15 settling [ABOLISHING] enmities in his flesh, the law of commandments IN ORDER TORITES, to build in himself the two into a new man, making peace, […] —EPHESIANS 2:15 (Ancient Reina Valera, 1602)

Does this need to be explained? Of course yes, after all we are dealing with brutal, very brutal and rebellious people. Well, the texts are very clear, what was abolished on the cross was not the law of the ten commandments, but the law of the commandments of the Levitical law on sacrifices and all those rites that pointed to the true “lamb that takes away the sin of the world”, Jesus Christ (JOHN 1:29).

And all this had already been prophesied by Daniel:

27 And for another week will confirm the covenant with many; in the middle of the week He will make sacrifice and offering cease. Then with the multitude of abominations will come the desolator, until the consummation comes, and what is determined is poured out on the desolator. —DANIEL 9:25

With his death, Christ would make sacrifice cease, that is, The rites carried out not only during the solemn feasts of Leviticus 23, but throughout the year in the temple. Rites, which were obviously loaded with offerings in the form of animal sacrifices to the lord, in the temple. So on Saturdays Colossians 2:16, does not refer to the Sabbath, but to the Sabbaths—or ceremonial festivals, which in no way exceeded the Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, the Lord's Sabbath, from the beginning. (GEN. 2:1-3) to Eternity (ISA. 66:22-23).

Already closing, hhere are a couple of Bible verses that destroy your entire argument completely, Shawn, and I could have started there and it would have been more than enough, but the Lord was leading here and he showed me some parts that even I hadn't considered before.

Jesus says the following:

20 Pray, then, that your escape lest in winter or on rest day; […]

27 For like the lightning that comes out of the east and flashes to the west, so will also be the coming of the Son of Man. —MATHEW 24:20, 27

Jesus is talking about his second coming and he is anchoring the seventh day Sabbath to this prophecy. Furthermore, by this time, haven't the ceremonial festivals been nailed to the cross? So, How is it that there is no day to observe today when that event has not yet occurred, and Jesus is referring to the Sabbath? And it is not that the Sabbath will cease to exist, but that it will endure for that time, and—again, for eternity. (ISA. 66:22-23).

Furthermore, Jesus also said:

17 But it is easier let heaven and earth pass, let one tittle of the law be frustrated. —LUKE 16:17

And my question to you is, have heaven and earth passed that there is no longer a Sabbath to observe? Is not the Sabbath part of that law? Doesn't the Bible say that God's law is eternal (PSA. 119:44, PSA. 119:142, PSA. 148:6). Is not the Sabbath eternal? (ISA. 66:22-23).

I think you need to review your beliefs, Shawn Brasseaux, and—more importantly, you need to really question what your heart's desires are!

Yes, the desires—and intentions of your heart, Shawn. Something that is practically never missing in this type of ministries like arC Ministries, which Brasseaux directs, is the saucer of coins. But since we are in modern times, this one comes in digital form. Of course, heretics need to eat too, right?

This man says that “Saturday is the Lord's day,” but that “we do not have a rest to observe.” That is to say, we do not have a rest to observe, but we are left with a “lord” to torment. No, he does not understand that if there is a Lord who is Lord of the Sabbath, it is because there is a Sabbath to observe—for the Lord (EXD. 20:9). No, he understands it, but he knows very well how to plunder the Levite, the orphan, the widow, and the foreigner. That's what you understand (DEUT. 14:22-29).

No, “there is no Sabbath to observe,” but nevertheless—

19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of his covenant was seen in the temple. And there were lightning, voices, thunder, an earthquake and great hail. —REVELATION 11:19

This text “does not mention” the Sabbath anywhere, but I only invite you, an evangelical friend, to go and find out in your Bible what is inside the Ark of the Covenant. And “remember”, that is “The Apocalypse” and “The New Testament”. Please NEVER forget that.
