True Sabbath Observance
By
Dr James A Robertson
A fundamental principle of developing a deep personal relationship with the Almighty Creator, whose true name is Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, is to comply with His Commandments. In fact it is written that it is chesed {covenant love} towards Yah that we keep His Commandments (1 John 5:3) – “For this is the love of Yah {God}, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous.” (KJV).
The Commandments are listed at Exodus 20 and discussed at http://end-time-issueministries.org/Commandments.aspx.html. A full discussion is outside the scope of this article.
Compliance with each of the Commandments introduces its own set of complexities and challenges for each individual. In some cases, like the true names of the Almighty, this is simply a matter of personal discipline, in other cases more outwardly visible actions are required.
A commandment that many find challenging is the Fourth Commandment regarding observance of the True Sabbaths of the Almighty. Exodus 20:8-11 reads “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it Qodesh {holy}. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to Yah the Eternally Self-Existing your Mighty One {the Lord your God}. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days Yah the Eternally Self-Existing {the Lord} made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore Yah the Eternally Self-Existing {the Lord} blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.”
Firstly, there is uncertainty regarding which day is being referred to here. Most people from the Christian tradition believe this is Sunday when in fact it is Saturday – there is considerable material on the Internet to support this and even casual inquiry in most calendars, dictionaries and encyclopaedias will reveal that Saturday is the Seventh Day of the Week. If you are not convinced I recommend a program of fasting, as set out in the articles cited below, as a means of achieving clarity.
The thing about strict observance of the Saturday Sabbath is that it requires a person to make a visible commitment, which, depending on one’s life style at the time of taking the decision, will require more or less adjustment that is visible to third parties. It may even necessitate that you find alternative employment if your employer is not prepared to permit you not to work on Saturdays.
Because Sabbath observance requires a significant and ongoing adjustment there are particular blessings associated with observance such that those who consistently honour the Saturday Sabbath tend to be noticeably blessed relative to those who do not.
Irrespective of whether one receives blessings or not, the fundamental objective is to serve the Almighty faithfully and honour His Commandments. THAT is the challenge and I offer that challenge to you today if you are NOT observing the true Sabbath.
Note that observance requires STRICT observance. My understanding of observance of the true Sabbath is that this involves avoiding ANY and ALL secular activities. This includes only the minimum level of food preparation, NOT cleaning the house or making things, NOT reading business literature, NOT reading and answering business emails, etc. I take it as meaning that anything that would be routinely undertaken during the rest of the week is off-limits on the Sabbath. Ministry to others, writing about the matters of the Almighty, researching the matters of the Almighty, any activity in service of the Almighty IS permitted.
The Sabbath should be used to worship the Almighty, read anointed writings, share with others about Him and His teachings, etc. I am currently in the process of compiling my writings into a series of five books running to around 3,000 pages which will give you plenty of material to read on the Sabbath.
To understand what YOU can do to become a lot closer to Father and observe His Sabbath read the following:
Please read the article “The Creator Desires a Deep Personal Relationship with YOU” – pray the prayers and take the actions outlined in that article. See http://end-time-issueministries.org/Home/CreatorDesiresDeepRelationship.aspx.html
MOST IMPORTANT -- Read the article “Seven Components in Drawing Close to the Creator”. There are a large number of prayers, processes and actions that are presented here – systematically read the article and step by step apply what you find there. In particular, go on several sets of seven three day fasts at weekly intervals with clearly focussed prayer as outlined in the document. http://end-time-issueministries.org/Home/7ComponentsinGrowingClosetoYah.aspx.html
It will potentially take you several years of applying all that is specified in these documents to start reaching your full potential and full anointing wherever you are in your life right now.
May Yah, The Almighty Creator, bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you His peace.
May Yah judge me severely and correct me harshly and show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it with regard to everything that I write and publish.
