When the Bible mentions “the day of the Lord” it is not one particular day of the week.
Many of today's churches have been led astray by false teachings and doctrines. Today we don't even know which day of the week it is (according to scripture) because we live by a calendar that is man made and not God's. The Julian Calendar (named after Julius Caesar 46 B.C.) was a solar calendar, and the Gregorian Catholic Calendar (1582 was named after Pope Gregory) used in the world today was imposed on the world by the power of the Catholic Church. Both calendars disregard the moon rotation around the earth, only recognizing the earth's rotation around the sun. These calendars subtly, and deceptively turn our our unconscious attention away from God's creation. It is not known for sure when the system of fixed 7-day weeks, with no relation to the lunar cycle, came into use, but probably lie in Sumerian/Babylonian culture. With God's Biblical calendar, the “new moon” has to correlate with the seventh day.
The formula they adopted results in a Jewish calendar, which is a 19-year cycle of 235 lunar months. This is known as the Greek Metonic cycle and was a part of Babylonian Chronology dating to 626 B.C. which is very close to the time of the writings of Daniel while he was living in the confines of the Babylonian Empire.
“And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” (Daniel 7:25)
Please follow the following explanations very close, because it can get a little “mind boggling” if you don't concentrate.
כִּי לְיָמִים עוֹד שִׁבְעָה "For yet seven days” (Genesis 7:4)
Sheva (pronounced Shaba with a hard “B” sound) is a mark placed under a letter that doesn't have a vowel to enable the speaker to pronounce the Word correctly. Sheva is written as “שִׁבְעָ" (in Hebrew) is the word for “seven” therefore comparing “pronunciation” or “pronouncement” to the number “seven.”
שִׁבְעָה (in Hebrew context) adds the letter “hey” (ה) meaning “reveal” to the “pronouncement” of “seven.” Therefore “seven days” is actually a revealed pronouncement that God gave to Noah.
“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week” (Daniel 9:27a)
Now let's see how a “week” fits into the number “seven” ( שָׁבוּעַ ) week meaning “sevened” letting the hearer know that the revealed pronouncement “is” the official announcement.
שָׁבוּעַ (in Hebrew context) adds the letter “hey” (וּ) meaning “secure” according to the “pronouncement” of “seven.” This letter is in-bedded in the “week” so as to exemplify “keeping watch” represented by the letter “עַ.”
So in reality we could read Daniel 9:27 as “And he shall confirm the covenant with a single announcement.” I'm not saying this is all the truth in this scripture but it does need to be considered as inclusive, but not exclusive.
“Holy Sabbath” (שַׁבַּת-קֹדֶשׁ ) Or “Sabbath consecrated” reading right to left.
“And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord:” (Exodus 16:23a)
So we see that Sabbath is not the word seven, neither is it the word week. The only two letters that are in “seven” “week” and “Sabbath” are שַׁבַּ which by themselves are not a word. שַׁבַּת "Sabbath” means an intermission or a time of rest. שָׁבַת "shabath” (notice the pronunciation) means to repose, cease and desist. “ ת" (tav) by itself represents a “sign of light.”
שַׁ represents fire, water, and precise diction enabled by the tongue and teeth
בַּ represents the place prepared for the family (Kingdom of God)
So in reality the “Sabbath day” (“day” meaning a time period set) is vaguely related to “seven” and “week” but doesn't have anything to do with a particular day in relation to Saturday or Sunday according to a Roman dictator or a Catholic Pope. For "Sabbath keepers" to argue with "non-Sabbath keepers" over which day of the week it falls on leaves us with the end result of totally excluding God's Lordship of a true Sabbath time. Both sides of the argument are ridiculous by disputing about a day according to a man made calendar.
In summary;
1. God makes a pronouncement (decree)
2. He reveals His announcement within the decree
3. It is set, unchanging, and secure
4. The decree is confirmed by His light. (Galatians 4:4)
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.” (Exodus 20:8)
“Remember the “sign of light” that has been prepared by fire and water, and the sword of His mouth. Keep this consecrated, and cease from you own works. (Exodus 20:8)
“For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.” (Hebrews 4:10)
“And there are three, which bear record in the earth, the Spirit, and the Water and the Blood: and these three agree in one.” (1 John 5:8) [1599 Geneva Bible] seven, week, Sabbath
Now all New Testament Gentiles can observe the 4th commandment without feeling guilty for keeping a Pope's day.
