The Battle Between Good and Evil Revealed! It's all about you. š±ā ļø | Marathi

In the final episode, we will explore the history of the great battle between good and evil. It will show the fall of Lucifer and demonstrate that God has a plan that will overwhelm the devilās attack.

CAMI OETMAN
Ten years ago, Cami Oetman had a real encounter with God that would change her life forever. She was a successful entrepreneur at the time, and the transition wasnāt easy. However, the truth Cami will share in this series was so compelling that she knew every human being in the world should experience the love of Jesus as she had.
Within three years, she had preached 350 Bible presentations. Today, as a vice president for Adventist World Radio, Cami travels the world documenting the miracles that take place when people give their hearts to Jesus.
It may seem difficult to imagine yourself understanding Bible prophecy.
Cami couldnāt either. She had spent two decades in the modeling world ā in front of and behind the camera. She had also used her masterās degree in social work to care for hospice patients. She then started a successful retail business. But no one can predict how they will react when they have a real experience with God!
THE BLUEPRINT
Have you ever been lost without directions or a map? Did you know that God gave us a roadmap to navigate our lives? In order to read Godās map, we must first understand the great controversy, a cosmic war between God and Satan.Ā Ā
Ā
The great controversy began with Lucifer, a heavenly angel, proclaiming in Isaiah 14:14 that he wanted to be ālike the Most High.ā The problem was that Lucifer wanted to be Holy without following the law of God, which reflects His character of love. God needed a jury to judge Lucifer (who became Satan) fairly and justly (Deuteronomy 19:15), so He created humans, partially to serve as jurors and demonstrate His true character (1 Corinthians 6:2-3). Adam and Eve chose to sin against God, disqualifying them from jury selection, because they were no longer law-abiding citizens. The Gospel was given to restore humanity to be sound jurors, who can distinguish from right and wrong. God knew that we would need a map in order to make our way back to heaven. What is this blueprint?
The Sanctuary is a unique structure that represents Godās house among His people (Exodus 25:8). It is also the blueprint to Godās plan of salvation, with each piece of furniture symbolizing a part of the Gospel message. God shows His plan to deliver His people through this blueprint.Ā
God also gives prophecies, which are like landmarks through time. Our first landmark is in the book of Daniel, the 70-week prophecy that foretells the first coming of the Messiah (Daniel 9:24-27). Israel is not prepared for Jesusā coming and rejects Him. When Jesus died on the cross, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two, signifying the end of the earthly blueprint (Matthew 27:51).Ā
Ā
The second landmark, the prophecy of 1260 years, states that the little horn would rise in power (Daniel 7:19, 25). Many Seventh-day Adventists believe that the little horn represents papal Rome and have interpreted this prophecy to symbolize an attempted change in the Christian day of worship from Saturday to Sunday.Ā
The third landmark, the prophecy of 2300 years, tells us that the sanctuary will be cleansed (Daniel 8:14). We believe that this period of time ended in 1844. Over a period of 500 years, God used the Reformation movement to restore His truth to the world using everyday Christians like you and me.Ā
Ā
Finally, we come to our last landmark, the third angelās message. Revelation 15 and 16 tell us that the seven last plagues are inflicted on those who ignore and reject Godās message. However, those who choose to receive Godās seal are safe (Psalms 91:1-2). The seal of the living God marks the end of our journey (Revelation 7:1-4).Ā
Ā
In Revelation 12:10, Satan accuses humanity of falling away from God. However, when God opens the books, heavenās records show that all our sins have been blotted out. Yes, our merciful God is willing to wipe all our sins away! No matter what you have done, Jesus has enough mercy to cover you.

The Meaning of Baptism: The Ultimate Spiritual Do-Over. š§š„ | Marathi
Have you ever just wanted a do-over in lifeālike hitting the reset button in a video game or selecting āundoā in a document? The #Bible speaks of #baptism as a powerful way to wipe the slate clean and have a totally new start. āThe New Lifeā will unlock the secret to experiencing an all-new abundant life today.
This will be a beautiful study about starting over. It will show you the way to leave the past behind and find real meaning and purpose in your life.

She then started a successful retail business. But no one can predict how they will react when they have a real experience with God!
THE NEW LIFE
Have you ever wanted to start over in life? The Bible tells us how we can get a new start.Ā In this study we will look at the new lifeā a fresh start that is available through Jesus.
Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan river to be baptized by John. But John hesitates, knowing he is unworthy. āJesus replied, āIt should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires.ā So John agreed to baptize himā (Matthew 3:13-15). Jesus is immersed in the water. As Jesus comes out of the water His ministry begins.
Ā
Baptism is a crucial part of the Christian life. Not only was Jesus baptized as an example to us, but He also strongly admonished His people to be baptized. Baptism is a symbol of our willingness to accept the Gospel of Jesus.Ā
The Bible declares that there is only one true method of baptism. It clearly says in Ephesians 4:5, āOne Lord, one faith, one baptism.ā If so, then there is only one biblical method. We canāt go wrong by following Jesusā example.Ā
When Christ was baptized, He went down into the water and came up out of the water. Jesusā baptism was by full immersion! (Matthew 3: 16-17)
The whole person must be immersed, because the whole person has sinned. In fact, the Greek word ābaptizoā or ābaptizeā means āto dip,ā āto immerse.ā Romans 6:3-4 says, āOr do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.ā How can sprinkling or pouring convey this message?Ā
Baptism is not the end of the Christian lifeā it is just the beginning! So, accept Godās mercy and begin again with a clean slate! Peter said in Acts 2:38: āRepent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. . .ā Accept the gift of the Holy Spiritās guidance ā. . . and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spiritā. Accept your place in the family of God.
Through baptism, a person is unified with Christ (Galatians 3:27). Yes, when you are baptized your sins are forgiven. Not only is your life cleansed, but you also receive the Holy Spirit and become part of an international community of faith!Ā

The Seventh-day Adventist Church Claims to be the Remnant Church of Bible Prophecy. Is it True? |MAR
Have you ever wondered if God has a true church on earth today? Does the Seventh-day Adventist Church fit the description of the remnant according to Bible prophecy?
This is a study that directly follows up on the previous topic. With a call to come out of Babylon, where do we go? In this topic, you will seeāfrom the Bibleāthe identifying characteristics of Godās end-time remnant.

She then started a successful retail business. But no one can predict how they will react when they have a real experience with God!
THE REMNANT
In the book of Revelation, God speaks of a dragon that makes war with the remnant people, because they have aligned themselves with God. We know that God is the winner of the battle with the dragon. So, how do we recognize this remnant movement who stand with God?
Revelation tells us this remnant people will keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
What does it mean to keep the commandments of God? The Ten Commandments were given by God for all people and each commandment has a specific purpose and benefit for the people who obey its teachings. The very same people who keep these commandments will proclaim the three angelsā messages found in Revelation 14.
The three angelsā messages are:
The hour of Godās judgment has come. Worship Him who made heaven and earth (Revelation 14:7). Godās last-day church will call for worship of Him as Creator.
Babylon is fallen (Revelation 14:8). Godās church for today does not identify with Babylon. In Revelation 18:4 we see that this church must call people out of Babylon, saying ā. . . Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins . . .ā
Beware of the beast and his image and his mark (Revelation 14:9-11). Godās people today will tell others how to avoid the mark of the beast. Jesus says these are His three important last-day messages to take to the world. His people will carry out His instruction because they love Him and will warn the world out of their love for others.
So, now we know why itās important to keep all of Godās commandments. Whatās next? The remnant must also have āthe testimony of Jesus Christ.ā In Revelation 19:10, the Bible explains that āthe testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.ā This means that Revelationās end-time people will also have the gift of prophecy, guided by the Holy Spirit. They will proclaim and teach Bible prophecies to the world.
So what movement or group of people fit this description? Is there a church that does this today? Yes! Seventh-day Adventism is a rapidly growing Christian denomination, made up of over 18 million members participating in local conferences in over 215 countries. The Adventist movement honors God through teaching and application of a healthy lifestyle, supporting religious freedom and the separation of church and state, and spreading the gospel to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. It is a movement that accepts men and women of all races, all language groups, all cultures and all creeds.
Do you want to be one of those that keeps the commandments of God and has the testimony of Jesus? This group is open to anyone that believes in the Word of God. Do you feel Him calling you to continue in your walk with Him into more and more light? Today is the day to "follow the lamb wherever He goesā (Revelation 14:4).

The Book of Revelation Predicted the Rise of Protestantism š¤ÆāŖļø | Marathi
Is there a master puppeteer behind all thatās going on around the world? Beyond conspiracy theories, there is a clear answer, and #Revelation identifies it through a strange woman, āThe Harlot.ā

She then started a successful retail business. But no one can predict how they will react when they have a real experience with God!
THE HARLOT
The book of Revelation illustrates two different women to describe two different systems of religion ā one that follows Jesus and one that has separated itself from Jesus.
In Revelation 12, there is a striking symbol of a woman dressed in white. In prophecy, a pure woman symbolizes the bride of Jesus or the true church (see Jeremiah 6:2 and Ephesians 5). God compares His church to a beautiful, pure woman who is faithful to her true lover, Jesus. She is undefiled with the corruption of false doctrine.
In Revelation 17, another woman arises. This woman rides upon a scarlet colored beast and the Bible calls her a harlot woman. She has left her true lover, Jesus. The harlot is the apostate system of religion. In this chapter we find that Babylon is a fallen church system that has committed fornication with the kings of the earth, thus symbolizing that instead of gaining its power from God, it obtains its power from the state as it is united with earthly authorities (see Revelation 17:1).Ā
Verse 3 of Revelation 17 identifies the harlot as blasphemous. She claims to have the power to forgive sins and stand in the place of God (see John 10:33, Matthew 9:2-3).
Rev. 17:4 clearly identifies the dress of the harlot as being āarrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls . . .āĀ
Furthermore, this harlot, Babylon, has āin her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornicationā (Revelation 17:4). She is a fallen system of religion with false doctrine that has confused all the world.
Verse 5 of Revelation 17 says Babylon is a mother, which means she must have children. Protestant denominations came out of Catholicism but have retained some of her false doctrines. These are the daughters of the Mother church.
Furthermore, she is identified as great, clearly showing the parallel between literal Babylon and spiritual Babylon. Like physical Babylon, spiritual Babylon represents a man-made religion established by men, based on human teachings, established on human ideas. There is a form of man-made religion, built by human religious leaders, that stands in opposition to the power of the gospel and the true church that Jesus built.Ā
IDENTIFYING MARKS OF SPIRITUAL BABYLON BASED ON LITERAL BABYLON
Ā Ā· Ā Babylon has an earthly head who speaks for God and in place of God (see 2 Thessalonians 2:4 and Isaiah 37:16).
Ā· Ā Babylon was the center of image worship through all of the Old Testament.Ā
Ā· Ā It was the center of false teachings about death teaching the immortality of the soul.
Ā· Ā Babylon was also the center of sun worship. All sun worship came through varyingĀ pagan channels (see Ezekiel 8:16).Ā
God abhors these false systems of worship as they are doctrines of devils. However, God dearly loves His people, even though they may be currently deceived. He warns them to leave Babylon and all its counterfeit teachings!

Is the Mark of the Beast a Chip, a Vaccine or Something Altogether Different? š§ | Marathi
The mark of the beast has been a hot topic for centuries. Will it be a microchip in the wrist, a universal ID card, or a hidden DNA marker in a vaccine? What is it really? Does the #Bible have insight into this provocative question?
āThe Markā will provide a clear answer to this with an intriguing study on Revelation 13 and the topic of the mark of the beast. What is the mark? Does anyone have it now? How can it be avoided?

She then started a successful retail business. But no one can predict how they will react when they have a real experience with God!THE MARKWhat is this mysterious Mark of the Beast?Who is the beast in the book of Revelation?Ā Is it symbolic?Ā And what does the number 666 really mean?
The good news is that Bible prophecy gives clear answers to these important questions.Ā Youāll want to pay close attention in this episodeās look into The Mark.
In Revelation 13, the Apostle John writes that there are only two groups of people living on earth when Jesus Christ returns. There is the faithful group who worship God and have received His seal. And then there are those who worship the beast and receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads. Tragically, unless you know what the beast represents, youāre on track to receiving it.Ā Ā
Thankfully, the Bible reveals what the Mark of the Beast means while revealing the identity of the beast.Ā Ā
This beast of Revelation 13 is described as a worldwide religious and political power that would rule for 1,260 years.Ā During this time, the beast would claim to be God and to have the power to forgive sins.Ā Anyone who wouldnāt worship the beast would be persecuted, even to death.Ā Ā
So, what religious and political power in history fits this identity?Ā It is the Roman Catholic Church, a religious system that became a world power in 538 A.D. and declared itself as the head of all churches.Ā During this time, the Papacy wiped out entire cities and populations in its effort to unite the world under its own religious system.Ā However, in 1798, the Pope was taken captive and the Papal Roman empire crumbled.Ā This is described in verse 3 as a deadly wound.
But the Bible says that this deadly wound would be healed.Ā The beast appears to die but regains its power. Has this happened to the Papal Roman Catholic system?Ā Ā
Today, the world looks to the Pope as its only hope for peace and unity.Ā Pope Francis has expressed his eagerness to unite Protestants back to the Catholic Church.Ā To the honest observer, the beast has recovered from the deadly wound.Ā Ā
Now that we know the unmistakable identity of the beast, what is his mark?Ā The Catholic Record of London makes it clear by stating, āSunday is our mark of authority . . . the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath Observance is proof of that fact.āĀ Ā
The Mark of the Beast is the enforcement of the Papacyās day of worship ā Sunday. Satan gave this beast its power and uses it to work against Godās seal, which is His day ā the seventh-day Sabbath.Ā Ā
The issue is about worship.Ā Do we choose Godās day or a day that man has honored?Ā And could it be that this day of worship will be enforced once again by another world power?Ā You may be surprised at the connection between the United States of America and this second beast in Revelation 13!

THE DESOLATION
After the second coming, Revelation 20 tells us that the saints will live and reign with Christ for a thousand years. During the thousand yearsā the millenniumā the book of records will be opened. Saints will look at each personās record and see the love and the justice of God in deciding their eternal destiny. We will even be able to see the record of the devil and his angels and help to decide their final punishment (1 Corinthians 6:3).
During this time, the devil will be confined to this planet (Revelation 20:2, 3). There will be no one else living on the earth. The devil will have no one to tempt, no war to instigate, no suffering to mastermind. Jailed by the circumstances of an empty planet, he will have time to reflect and to plan his final move.
At the end of the thousand years, God and His saints will return to the earth with the Holy City, the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:2). God has promised, āBehold, I make all things newā (Revelation 21:5). This glorious third coming is the beginning of creating a new earth. Before this can start, however, one last chapter in the saga of sin must be written.
Our earth, battered and torn, having laid waste for a thousand years, is the scene of this final chapter in the conflict between God and the devil. As the Holy City settles into the Mount of Olives, the power of God gives life to all those who chose not to follow Him (Zechariah 14:4). Revelation 20 describes their number āas the sands of the seaā (Revelation 20:8). The devil will be āloosed out of his prisonā and work to convince all these people that it would be easy to overthrow the Holy City, and forever be rid of God, His rules, and His people (Revelation 20:7).
The devil and his angels, with those of all generations who chose against Godās government, prepare to take over the Holy City. As they march toward the city, fire comes down from God out of heaven and devours them (Revelation 20:9).
This is referred to as Godās āstrange actā (Isaiah 28:21). It is against His nature to destroy any of His creation. Yet, those who have repeatedly denied His love and despised His invitation of mercy will finally experience eternal separation from God. The effect of their decision is forever. They are forever gone. The fire that devours them is only momentary, but the consequences of that fire are eternal. Those who have chosen to stand with the devil and his angels receive their reward of eternal death. āThis is the second death,ā Revelation 20:14 states. The fires of hell are the resolution to the last great conflict. They devour those who have forever decided against God.
It is up to us to choose on which side of the Holy Cityās walls we will be found. It is our free choice to accept the love of God and stand with Him through eternity, or to choose against Him and be forever separated from God. Will you accept His gift of life?

THE RESCUE
Does it ever seem like the world is spiraling out of control? Do you ever get the feeling that the end of the world is almost here? The good news is that in the midst of all the chaos, you can be confident that God has a personal rescue plan for you. This plan is none other than the second coming of Jesus Christ!
Why should we learn about what Jesusā second coming will look like? About 2,000 years ago, the people of Jerusalem were left stunned and unprepared because Jesusā first coming didnāt match their expectations. Rather than coming as a glorious conqueror, Jesus came meekly as a little baby, born to a poor family. Unlike Jesusā first coming, you wonāt have to wait to hear the news of His second comingāit will be impossible to miss! Still, even though Jesusā Second Coming will be visible to every eye and audible to every ear, it makes all the difference to know how He will return.Ā
The Bible declares that at Jesusā second coming, ā. . . every eye will see Him . . .ā (Revelation 1:7). His second coming will not be a mysterious event in a desert or a secret rapture. Although some say that Jesusā second coming will be a secret, the Bible actually warned us in advance against the thought. In Luke 17:23, Jesus tells us that someday people will falsely say ā. . .āLook here!ā or āLook there!ā . . .ā, but we should not follow them. This is because any person who claims to be fulfilling Jesusā second coming, but meets privately with a group or an individual, is only an impersonation. As lightning is visible from all angles in the sky, so will His coming be visible from all directions (Luke 17:24). And donāt expect to see Jesus walking down the streets of New York or Tokyo, either. When Jesus returns, the righteous will ā. . . meet Him in the air.ā (1 Thessalonians 4:17)! Ā Finally, Jesus reminds us that we must always be prepared because no one knows the exact time of His coming (Matthew 24:36).
Jesusā second coming will be the climax of earthās history. He will rescue His followers from death, pain, and disease. Those who have died following Jesus will come forth from the grave alive with new, indestructible bodies. The bodies of His faithful followers will be instantly transformed, as quickly as the ā. . . the twinkling of an eye . . .ā (1 Corinthians 15:51-52). Today is the day to choose to follow Him, because ā. . . now is the day of salvation.ā (2 Corinthians 6:2). Your eternal destiny is hanging on the choices you make.Ā
In John 14:2, 3 Jesus promised, ā. . . I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.ā Jesus has prepared a beautiful home for us in heaven, so beautiful that no one can fully grasp just how glorious it will be (1 Corinthians 2:9). The best way to find out is to be ready to meet Him when He comes!

THE GRAVE
Ā
Have you experienced the loss of a family member or a loved one? Have you ever found yourself questioning, what happens when you die? We often hear stories of people who have had death experiences; they recall seeing bright lights, visions of Heaven, and even having out-of-body experiences. There is much controversy surrounding the topic of life after death. There are a number of different beliefs that are held by Christians and non-Christians alike. Some believe that, after you die, your soul goes to Heaven or Hell. Others believe in reincarnation or that death is simply the end. The most reliable source we have, the Bible, provides us with a clear answer on what really happens after death.
Ā
Many of the beliefs that people have about death today originate from ancient Greek philosophy, which teaches that the soul is immortalā it can live separately from the body and have a life of its own. This means that even after we have died, we are able to think, feel, and communicate with those on Earth and in Heaven. In contrast, the Bible views death as creation, only in reverse. Ecclesiastes 12:7: āThen the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.ā God does not allow the soul to keep living after the body has died, instead, He preserves their identity in His mind alone. Their spirit is returned to God in the form of His power.
Ā
The Bible consistently refers to death as a sleep, even Jesus himself acknowledges this in the account of Lazarus found in John 11:11-25. God promises that there will be no more pain and suffering in Heaven. If we were able to witness the problems our loved ones are facing on Earth while we are looking down on them, wouldnāt this bring more pain rather than joy? God in His mercy would rather let us sleep than allow us to watch helplessly as our loved ones continue their lives on Earth.
Ā
Satan uses these false ideas about death to deceive us. Fallen angels appear to us as messengers, impersonating dead friends and relatives in order to communicate with those who are seeking guidance from them. Many people find comfort in knowing that their loved ones are enjoying Heaven; and, without realizing it, they listen to evil spirits and devils. The Bible predicts that evil angels will give warnings and foretell the futureā appearing to be reliableā so their false teachings are accepted. These angels will influence the nations of the world and lead them to end-time events. We should seek our information from the Bible only. Satan can only deceive those who give in to his temptations. Those who rely on Godās word and endeavor to follow the truth will be rescued. Jesus is available to you always; all you have to do is ask Him.

When is The Sabbath Day according to the Bible? šš± | Marathi

The Bible predicts that a 'power' would change the 'times and the law'. This study will cover the gradual change of the Sabbath over the centuries. It will look at how it happened, why it happened, and who is behind this great deception. By the way, this 'power' is still operating today.
Have you ever been scammed? Did you know that one of the greatest scams in history has been bought by almost everyone on the planet? What is it? How can you and I avoid it? Donāt miss the answer in The Counterfeit.

THE COUNTERFEIT
In Exodus 20:8-11, the Bible clearly states that āthe seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.ā So, why do so many rest and worship on a different day of the week? When is the Sabbath? Saturday or Sunday? Could it be that the Christian Church has allowed manās tradition to overshadow Godās way? Finally, why does it matter which day is the true day of worship and which is the counterfeit sabbath?
The āfirst day,ā or Sunday, is only mentioned eight times in the New Testament. Some of these verses describe how women returned to Jesusā tomb on Sunday to finish preparing the body of Christ (Mark 16:1-2, Mark 16:9, Matthew 28:1, Luke 24:1, John 20:1). Jesus was crucified on Friday, called the āpreparation day,ā because they were to prepare for Godās holy Sabbath day, Saturday. Jesus then rested in the tomb on Sabbath, the āseventh dayā of the week, and rose on Sunday, the āfirst dayā of the week.
If we look at other verses mentioning the āfirst dayā in the New Testament, we see no hint of change.
Many Christians read in Luke 4:16 that Jesus, āas His custom was,ā went to church on the Sabbath. Christ said in Matthew 24:20 that His disciples would be keeping the seventh-day Sabbath 40 years after the cross. So, Jesus didnāt change the Sabbath! The Bible promises in Hebrews 13:8, āJesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.ā
God did not change the Sabbath, Jesus would not change the Sabbath, and the disciples could not change the Sabbath! (Acts 5:29)
We can look to Bible prophecy to see how Godās Sabbath could have been changed to a counterfeit. In Daniel 7:2-3, Daniel saw four great beasts come up from the sea. Daniel describes the beasts as a lion, a bear, a leopard, and a beast with ten horns. Verse 17 states that the beasts represent four kings, or kingdoms.
Most Bible scholars agree that the fourth beast represents the Roman Empire. Daniel 7:8 says āI was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them . . . ā This little horn comes up among the first ten horns, after the fall of Rome.
Daniel 7:25 predicts, āHe [the little horn] shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and laws . . .ā
The Bible tells us that Sundayās sacredness comes from the tradition of men, changed from the law of God. It is Jesus Himself in Matthew 15:3-9 who says āin vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.ā
God says the Sabbath is a great sign. (Ezekiel 20:12; Exodus 31:16) Itās a sign of our loyalty to Christ. It is a sign that we can rest in the completed work of salvation through Christ. The Bible Sabbath matters so much to God that He wrote it in stone!
Are you willing to follow wherever Jesus leads? The road may be narrow, but the way of Jesus leads to the tree of life in the city of God.

THE AUTHENTIC SEAL
Have you ever wondered why people would put a seal on a letter or document? What does it stand for?
A seal bears the name, title and territory of its owner and conveys authority and ownership to the receiver of the message. In ancient times, wax seals were often used on contracts or treaties as an identifying mark of authority and authenticity. Did you know God uses a āsealā to identify his followers and mark them for redemption? Surely, humans wonāt receive a wax seal on their foreheadsāso what is this seal?
The Sabbath is a seal of commitment and relationship. By observing the Sabbath, Godās followers show they belong to Him. So, how do you observe the Sabbath and when is it?
Humans are the only created beings that can discern right from wrong and the part of our brain that makes those choices is our prefrontal cortex which sits behind our foreheads. When we choose to āremember the Sabbath dayā as it states in the fourth of ten commandments, we are choosing to be āsealedā by God. The Sabbath exists to remind us who God is. He is Creator of Heaven and Earth.
God said through the prophet Ezekiel āI gave them my Sabbaths as a sign between us, so they would know that I the Lord made them holyā (Ezekiel 20:12). God wants us to remember that He is our Creator and Redeemer.
God created humans on the sixth day of creationāFriday. The very next dayāSabbath; He rested, blessed it and made it holy. God wants to spend valuable time with the creation He made in His image. This means He wants to spend time with you.
Did you know the Sabbath has existed since the very first week of creation and it was not intended for only a select group of people? God created the Sabbath with the intention of spending time with all people. The Sabbath existed long before God gave the commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai; Paul and the Christian Gentiles were still keeping the Sabbath holy long after Jesus died on the cross.
When God created the days of the week, each 24-hour period was marked by the rotation of the earth. The night portion preceded the day portion, which means that sunset is the first part of a new day. Each day of the week begins with the evening portion at sunset. So it makes sense that the Sabbath would begin Friday evening at sunset and continue until Saturday evening at sunset.
What more can God do to emphasize the permanence and importance of His holy Sabbath day? He spoke it with His voice, wrote it with His finger, and sent His own beloved Son Jesus as our example to live by. The disciples taught it and Godās believers will keep it on the New Earth throughout all of eternity.
When the Creator of the universe asks you to do something, it makes sense to follow His direction. Donāt you think? Especially when His motive for spending time with us is love.
