THY  WORD  IS  LIGHT series
A DAY TO REMEMBER

As Israel Travelled

"Lo, this only have I found, that elohim hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions." Eccl 7:29 Elohim said, “If thou turn away thy feet from the SABBATH, from doing thy pleasure on my Holy day [LORD'S DAY]; and call the SABBATH a delight, Set apart of Yehovah, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thy own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in Yehovah; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth ...” Isaiah 58:13.

Lo this I have found
Always the Scriptures reaffirm

"He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination." -- Proverbs 28:9

“Fear elohim and keep8104 His commandments:  

H8104

שׁמר

shâmar
shaw-mar'
A primitive root; properly to hedge about (as with thorns), that is,
guard; generally to protect, attend to, etc.: - beware, be circumspect, take heed (to self), keep (-er, self), mark, look narrowly, observe, preserve, regard, reserve, save (self), sure, (that lay) wait (for), watch (-man).

 

 for this is the whole 3605duty of man.” Ecclesiastes 12:13.

H3605

כּול כּלo

kôl kôl
kole, kole
From H3634; properly the
whole; hence all, any or every (in the singular only, but often in a plural sense): - (in) all (manner, [ye]), altogether, any (manner), enough, every (one, place, thing), howsoever, as many as, [no-] thing, ought, whatsoever, (the) whole, whoso (-ever).

 

 The SABBATH will be kept in the future and will be a day of worship. “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith Yehovah, ... it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one SABBATH, [H7676 שׁבּת shabbâth shab-bawth' Intensive from H7673; intermission, that is, (specifically) the Sabbath: - (+ every) sabbath.] to another [ actual word is Sabbath in the Hebrew not another , it actually reads Sabbath to Sabbath] shall ALL flesh come to worship before me, saith Yehovah” Isaiah 66:22-23.
The SABBATH was made by elohim to be kept by all mankind for all time.
“For I am Yehovah, I change not”.
--Malachi 3: 6.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of lohim : not of works lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Messiah Yehoshua unto good works, which lohim hath before ordained that we should walk in them. -- Ephesians2:8-10 

 
"Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Messiah Yehoshua: Whom Elohim hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of Elohim; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Yehoshua. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the elohim of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one Elohim, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Do we then make void the law through faith? Elohim forbid: yea, we establish the law" Romans 3:24-31.

But Elohim commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Messiah died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to Elohim by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans 5:8-10 

"If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."
   
-- John 15:10

“And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep5083 his commandments,

G5083
τηρέω
tēreō
tay-reh'-o
From
τηρός teros (a watch; perhaps akin to G2334); to guard (from loss or injury, properly by keeping the eye upon; and thus differing from G5442, which is properly to prevent escaping; and from G2892, which implies a fortress or full military lines of apparatus), that is, to note (a prophecy; figuratively to fulfil a command); by implication to detain (in custody; figuratively to maintain); by extension to withhold (for personal ends; figuratively to keep unmarried): - hold fast, keep (-er), (ob-, pre-, re) serve, watch.

he that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the love of Elohim perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him . He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk, even as he walked” -- 1 John 2:3-6.

The keeping of the first day as the Sabbath by Christians can be traced to Constantine, a sun-worshipping emperor of Rome, who gave an edict that changed the Sabbath to
SUNday.  This, his proclamation, actually honors the sun-god instead of The Creator:


    
"On the Venerable day of the SUN let the magistrates 
      and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops 
      be closed.  In the country, however, persons engaged in 
      agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their
      pursuits; because it often happens that another day is 
      not so suitable for grain-sowing or for vine-planting; lest 
      by neglecting the proper moment for such operations  
      the bounty of heaven should be lost.

     Given the seventh day of March [AD 321] Crispus and 
     Constantine being consuls each of them for the second 
     time."


    
The First Sunday Law of Constantine 1, in "Codex 
     Justinianus" translated in Philip Schaff's, History of the 
     Christian Church, Vol 3 p.380.


  
With the Sunday Law, Constantine tried to unite the Mithra (Sun God) worshipping pagans and his new-found friends, the Christians.  Those who honor SUNday; a part of their adopted Christo-pagan religion of syncretism (blending and compromise),
unknowingly honor the god of the sun.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing in the name of the Father... Son... Ruach ha Qodesh. Teaching them to observe whatsoever things I have commanded you” . -- Matt 28:19-20.

Here are they that keep the commandments of Elohim, and the faith of Yehoshua”
