A Significant Time Lapse… How long after the actual events

happened were these eight groups of scripture written? It was upwards of thirty years or more. Why wouldn’t they have called “the first of the weeks” Sunday, or even the Lord’s Day, if they intended to signify the establishment of a new weekly day of worship?

Summation Summation (in part)(in part)

Do 5 Gospel accounts declare a new day of worship? No, events of the wave sheaf day.

Do 3 gatherings reveal new day of worship? No, possible events of the wave sheaf day.

Does Pentecost? No, reveals Holy Day observance Does 8th day? No, part of the count to Pentecost. Does Lord’s day? No either “day of the Lord or

Sabbath confirmation

http://hodf.org 66

The Sabbath observance comes from the 4th Commandment. Yeshua Himself proclaimed that He did not do away with the Commandments Matthew 5:17 & 18 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

…For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
