This is what the Lord says: “Maintain justice and do what is
right, for my salvation is close at
hand and my righteousness will soon
be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, the
man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.” Let no foreigner who has bound himself to the Lord say, “The Lord will surely exclude me
from his people.” And let not any eunuch complain, “I am only a dry tree.” For
this is what the Lord says: “To the eunuchs who keep my
Sabbaths, who choose what pleases me and hold fast to my
covenant— to them I will give within my temple and its walls a
memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off. And foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord to serve him, to love the name of the Lord, and to worship him, all who keep the Sabbath without
desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant—
these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and
sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house
of prayer for all nations.” The Sovereign Lord declares—he who gathers the
exiles of Israel: “I will gather still others to them besides those already
gathered.”
Even more
clearly than Isaiah wrote down in these verses, God can not disclose, that even
the strangers that diligently seek him, must keep his covenant, and have his
Sabbaths to hallow. In these verses God clearly says, that he will save all;
who the Sabbath hallow and holds his covenant.
Since we
all know, that the Bible does not refute itself, we would have to actually
know, that we should hallow the Sabbath of the Lord. Not, to thereby obtain our
salvation; but because we have received salvation through the grace of Jesus
Christ. Everyone, who was actually accepted by Jesus, has the new covenant. The
new covenant means, that we have been written in the heart, the commandments
and ordinances of God. But anybody, who has the new covenant in his heart is
led by the Holy Spirit and can hence fulfil the will of God, because his heart
would like obeying.
I cannot
understand, why still so many Christians despite knowledge of the Bible, hold
on the humanly invented days. These days are invented 360 years after Christ by
the Roman Established Church, due power politics considerations. But I can also
not understand, then why the Protestant reformers have chosen the days of the
Roman heretics and not the God-ordained Sabbath and the feasts of the Lord.
When I read
in the Bible and think about it, I cannot even comprehend how people have so
many interpretations; which twisting the word of God. The Bible but explains
itself for itself. The Word of God is perfect and free of contradictions from
the first to the last page. Everything you don’t know, explained you of God, if
you serious ask him in prayer about getting. I was able on myself to experience
this, on numerous occasions. Thereby I've found, that it usually are the words
of Paul, which are not easily understood. To the present day, I was allowed to
recognize again and again, that Paul exactly writes from that, which is to be
read in the Torah and in the prophets. He explains it, just different.
The new
Pharisees and scribes make it advantage of the fact that Paul's words are hard
to understand and blinded the people, by their false teachings.
Personally,
I have asked in prayer to God for forgiveness and apologized me, that I have
let fooled me so long, from the new Pharisees and scribes.
It is God,
who also warn the Gentiles through Isaiah, because he granting us a brief
glimpse on the new earth. Thus we read in Isaiah 66, 22-24: “As the new heavens and the new earth that I
make will endure before me,” declares
the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure. From one New Moon
to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow
down before me,” says the Lord. “And they
will go out and look upon the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; their worm will not die, nor will
their fire be quenched, and they will be
loathsome to all mankind.”
We see,
then, that the new moon and Sabbath by God are valid for all eternity. How can
people seriously claim that the Son of God, Jesus Christ has abolished this.
Jesus himself told us that the son does not speak of Himself, but only what the
Father gave him. Thus it is clear proof that nothing was overturned by the word
of his Father through Jesus Christ. It would be completely absurd if God would
contradict himself!
I am often
asked whether I was actually aware of how complicated the Sabbath, the dietary
laws, and the feasts of the Lord are to be observed. The people who make me
this question look it as the Jews in Israel today to deal with these things.
But They forget, that Jesus is not the Messiah for the Jews and therefore the
Sabbath, the dietary laws, and the feasts of the Lord still celebrate with all
of the requirements, which the Pharisees and scribes through misinterpretation
of the Torah and the commandments have been added.
Jesus
Christ has met and sanctified the Sabbath so as God has commanded. But he was
sentenced by the Jews, because he had broken the Sabbath in their view. Thus,
the dietary laws are simple and clear in the Torah by God declares and the Jews
make a complicated process, because of they believe the interpretations of the
Pharisees and scribes.
But Jesus
said in Matthew 23, 13 - 15: "Woe to
you, teachers of the law and Pharisees,
you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You
yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. “Woe
to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land
and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as
much a son of hell as you are."
Wherefore,
holy the Sabbath, as it did Jesus Christ sanctified and keep the dietary laws
as God has prescribed in the Torah. Celebrates the feasts of the Lord, and
believe not unchecked the words of the new Pharisees and scribes. Even today,
this look only to their power, their glory and their immense wealth. Is it not
a contradiction if a church has untold wealth and in this world children still
die of hunger? Should this church not rather stop to want alleviate the plight,
until she stands themselves in poverty?
