A friend of mine recently asked me how one could determine which day of the week is the true Sabbath Day of the Lord. Well, I wrote to her (in two long SMSs) the following that ARE our NINE daily WITNESSES of the Sabbath Truth! By a quick search EVERYONE can discover them!!! Why dont you try looking them up?
1. THE WEEKEND.
The term weekend is not very old. It wasn't there in biblical times. Please ask yourself this question: If a week begins ON the First Day of the week, how comes it later ENDS ON/WITH Two Days? Moreover, we were given by God SIX days to WORK and ONE day for REST. It wasn't FIVE days to Work and TWO days for Rest! Someone must have stretched the duration of the Weekend from one day to two days. [And the person who did this was the Little Horn Power of Daniel 7:25, of whom it was prophesied that he would think to change times attests to this fact. But that's another topic. (If you desire to study further about this Time Changer, please tell me.)] To understand a little more about the weekly cycle (as prescribed by God), you may read the following texts: Exodus 20:9,10; 31:15-17; 34:21; and Deuteronomy 5:13,14.
2. OUR CALENDARS.
Up until the late 80s, almost ALL calendars had Sunday as the FIRST day of the week, & Saturday as SEVENTH. Even today, most calendars have maintained the same position -- posting Sunday on the slot of the First Day, and Saturday on that of the Seventh Day. Check your calendar. Question: How can it be that the minority who maintain that Saturday is the true Sabbath hold such a large sway over the greater majority who think otherwise that they can dictate how calendars are published? Answer: Because it is not their influence, but that of our Heavenly Father -- pointing us to the truth.
The words Sabbath, Sunday, and Saturday in any OLD encyclopedia or dictionary will give you the answer. Just check it up. Page 1 of 3

4. THE JEWS.
Ever since the days of Abraham (the first Jew), there has never ceased to be a Jew on the face of the earth. And these people have ALWAYS kept the Sabbath -- TO DATE! (They seem to be like God's living clock and witnesses to all future generations.) So we can thus confidently and credibly say that our counting system IS correct and accurate!
The word Sabbath can be found in over 100 of our ancient languages. Traditionally, all these ethnic groups knew and kept the true Sabbath. One good example to be cited was when the Italians went into Ethiopia in their scramble and partition for Africa. They found that after many centuries of seclusion, the Ethiopians were still keeping the Saturday Sabbath.

Lastly, ask yourself: Could ALL these NINE Witnesses have been coached to give such false testimonies, or is it that they are bur the Lords messengers of Truth? And iIs it possible that the tiny community of Sabbath-keepers is capable of single handedly plotting conspiracy theories for ALL these NINE FACTS to their favour?
God bless you as you meditate on these day-to-day witnesses who are biblical, factual based!
