Tradiitions 106 - Sabbath Keepers

Those that presently claim to be “Sabbath keepers” are not really keeping the true Jewish Sabbath because they are using the wrong calendar. The original calendar described in the Torah, and used by Moses, was based upon the phases of the moon, not a continuous weekly cycle. This lunar calendar was used for all the feast days, including the weekly Sabbath. Since the biblical calendar is based on the moon, it does not correspond to the days of the modern, Gregorian calendar. For example, the Sabbath is not always on Saturday. The Sabbath could be on Wednesday one month, and Thursday the next.

While "Sabbath keepers" may have good intentions, they cannot use a pagan calendar, which is based on the phases of the sun, to designate a given day as “The Lord's Day”. The modern calendar was created by Julius Caesar in 45BC to honor Roman gods and goddesses. The days recognized the following false gods:

1.Saturn (Saturn's Day- Saturday)

2.Sun (Sun's Day- Sunday)

3.Moon (Moon's Day - Monday)

4.Mars (Tiu's Day- Tuesday)

5.Mercury (Woden's Day- Wednesday)

6.Jupiter (Thor's Day- Thursday)

7.Venus (Freya's Day- Friday)
