The Seventh Day Sabbath, a Perpetual Sign, from the Beginning to the Entering…
"The Seventh Day Sabbath, a Perpetual Sign, from the Beginning to the Entering into the Gates of the Holy City, According to the Commandment" by Joseph Bates is a religious publication written in the mid-19th century. The work examines the significance of the Sabbath, particularly the seventh day, asserting its importance as a divine commandment established at Creation and emphasizing its observance as eternal and mandatory for all believers. The author critiqueshistorical shifts in Sabbath observance, particularly the transition from Saturday to Sunday, which he attributes to papal authority and suggests undermines the original biblical commandments. The opening of the text introduces the author's perspective on the Sabbath, grounding it in scriptural references and historical context. Bates presents an argument affirming that the seventh-day Sabbath was instituted by God during the Creation and has been a perpetual mandate for humanity, not just for the Jews. He challenges the notion that the Sabbath was exclusively a Jewish institution, quoting various Scriptures to support his view that its observance is crucial for salvation. Furthermore, he emphasizes that abandoning the Sabbath undermines the whole moral law, urging readers to maintain its observance as a divine requirement up to the end of time.
