Restoring the Biblical Sabbath
TRUTH CARRIERS EDUCATION SYSTEM
Torah Foundations Series - Adult Core
Each lesson uses the 6 Rs for deep learning: RECEIVE (read content), REFLECT (answer questions), RECALL (close book, write what you remember), RECITE (teach someone), REVIEW (spaced repetition), RESPOND (apply practically).
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." — James 1:22
Introduction: The Sabbath is the most attacked, most ignored, and most misunderstood commandment in modern Christianity. Yet it is the ONLY commandment that begins with "REMEMBER"—as if Yahuah knew we would forget it. This workbook exposes the historical change from Saturday to Sunday, examines what Scripture actually says, and provides practical steps for restoring biblical Sabbath observance in your life.
What You Will Learn:
Key Scripture Themes:
Sacred Names Used: Yahuah (not LORD), Yahusha (not Jesus), Elohim (God), Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit)
Target Audience: Adults and families seeking biblical truth about the Sabbath
Study Time: 10-14 hours (10 comprehensive lessons + bonus practical lesson)
Opening Prayer: "Yahuah, reveal Your truth about the Sabbath. Give us eyes to see what Scripture actually says, not what tradition teaches. Help us distinguish between Your commands and man's additions. Give us courage to obey even when the whole world disagrees. In Yahusha's name, amen."

Before Sin, Before Jews, For All Humanity
Notice what Elohim did on the seventh day—actions He performed on NO other day:
When was the Sabbath established? At CREATION (Genesis 2)
When did sin enter? Genesis 3 (AFTER the Sabbath)
When did Jews begin to exist? Abraham (Genesis 12) - approximately 2,000 years AFTER creation
Conclusion: The Sabbath was established:
Elohim did NOT bless or sanctify Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Sunday. ONLY the seventh day received this unique honor.
Greek word analysis: Anthropos (ἄνθρωπος) = human being, mankind (NOT Ioudaios = Jew). Yahusha explicitly said the Sabbath was made for ALL HUMANITY, not just Jews.

2. If there were no Jews at creation, who was the Sabbath made for? How does this affect the argument that "the Sabbath is only for Jews"?

The Manna Miracle Proves Pre-Existing Sabbath
Context: Israel has left Egypt but has NOT yet arrived at Mount Sinai. The Ten Commandments have NOT been given yet.
| Day | Manna Provided | Command |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | One omer per person | Gather daily portion |
| Day 2 | One omer per person | Gather daily portion |
| Day 3 | One omer per person | Gather daily portion |
| Day 4 | One omer per person | Gather daily portion |
| Day 5 | One omer per person | Gather daily portion |
| Day 6 (Preparation) | TWO omers per person | Gather DOUBLE - prepare for Sabbath |
| Day 7 (Sabbath) | NO MANNA | REST - stay in your place |
Some Israelites went out on the seventh day to gather manna anyway. They found NOTHING.
Critical point: This rebuke happened BEFORE Sinai. Yahuah called the Sabbath one of "My commandments and My laws" BEFORE the Ten Commandments were formally given on tablets of stone.
Hebrew: Zakar (זָכַר) = to remember, recall, call to mind
You cannot "remember" something that never existed. The command is "REMEMBER," not "Here's something brand new I'm creating." This proves the Sabbath already existed; Sinai formalized it in the covenant.
Multiple Choice 1:
What special provision did Yahuah make for the sixth day's manna?
Multiple Choice 2:
What happened on the seventh day when some Israelites went out to gather manna?
Multiple Choice 3:

His Custom and Authority
Greek: kata to eiothos (κατὰ τὸ εἰωθός) = according to His custom, His regular practice
Yahusha regularly attended synagogue on the Sabbath. This was not occasional but His established pattern—His "custom."
Key points:
Yahusha never broke the Torah's Sabbath commands. He broke PHARISAIC traditions—the 39 categories of prohibited work (the "Oral Torah") that added burdens Yahuah never commanded.
Multiple Choice 1:
According to Luke 4:16, what was Yahusha's CUSTOM on the Sabbath?

Paul's Pattern and Practice
Same Greek phrase as Luke 4:16: kata to eiothos = according to custom. Paul's regular practice was Sabbath synagogue attendance—the same pattern as Yahusha.
| Reference | Location | Who Was Present |
|---|---|---|
| Acts 13:14-44 | Pisidian Antioch | Jews AND Gentiles |
| Acts 16:13 | Philippi (riverside) | Women (including Lydia) |
| Acts 17:2 | Thessalonica | Jews AND God-fearing Greeks |
| Acts 18:4 | Corinth | Jews AND Greeks |
Calculation: 18 months × 4 Sabbaths per month = approximately 78 Sabbaths that Paul taught in Corinth alone!
Greek: sabbatismos (σαββατισμός) = literally "Sabbath-keeping," a keeping of the Sabbath
This is the ONLY place in the New Testament where this specific Greek word appears. It does NOT mean "spiritual rest"—there's a different Greek word for that (katapausis). Sabbatismos specifically refers to Sabbath observance.
Multiple Choice 1:
According to Acts 17:2, what was Paul's CUSTOM?

The Unbroken Weekly Cycle
Some claim we "can't know" which day is the seventh day today. This is demonstrably false.
Jews have meticulously tracked the seventh-day Sabbath for over 3,000 years. They have never lost count, even through exiles, dispersions, and persecutions. Jews worldwide—from Yemen to Poland to Ethiopia—all agree that Saturday is the seventh day.
The U.S. Naval Observatory and astronomers worldwide confirm the weekly cycle has never been broken. The rotation of days of the week has continued uninterrupted throughout recorded history.
Over 100 languages call Saturday some form of "Sabbath":
| Language | Word for Saturday | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Hebrew | Shabbat (שַׁבָּת) | Sabbath |
| Spanish | Sábado | Sabbath |
| Italian | Sabato | Sabbath |
| Portuguese | Sábado | Sabbath |
| Russian | Суббота (Subbota) | Sabbath |
| Arabic | السبت (as-Sabt) | Sabbath |
| Greek | Σάββατο (Savvato) | Sabbath |
This confirms the sequence: Friday (Preparation) → Saturday (Sabbath) → Sunday (First Day). Christians worldwide agree Yahusha rose on Sunday. The day before Sunday is Saturday—the Sabbath.
Multiple Choice 1:
When the calendar changed from Julian to Gregorian in 1582, what happened?

Scripture vs. Tradition
Response: "Under grace" does not mean we can sin freely. Sin is defined as transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). Paul explicitly says we should NOT use grace as license to sin. "Under law" refers to law's condemnation of sinners, not to the law's validity as Yahuah's standard.
Response: Context is key. Paul is addressing Gnostic teachers in Colossae who were judging believers FOR keeping these things with the wrong motives (asceticism - see v.21-23). Paul is NOT saying stop keeping Sabbath; he's saying don't let pagans judge you for keeping it. The "shadow" language confirms these practices pointed to Messiah—but a shadow proves the body exists, not that the practice is abolished.
Response: Context is about FASTING days, not Sabbath. The passage discusses food and weak faith (v.2-3), not the fourth commandment. Romans 14 never mentions the Sabbath specifically. Using this verse to abolish the Sabbath also abolishes every other holy day, including days most Christians observe.
Response: Where does Scripture command worship on Sunday because of the resurrection? Nowhere. We commemorate Yahusha's death through communion (Luke 22:19), His burial and resurrection through baptism (Romans 6:3-4), NOT through changing the day of worship. The apostles continued keeping Sabbath for decades after the resurrection (Acts).

Practical Application for Today
Biblical day: Sunset to sunset, NOT midnight to midnight. The Sabbath begins Friday at sunset and ends Saturday at sunset.
Scripture calls the sixth day the "Preparation Day" (Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54). Practical preparations include:
Pikuach Nefesh (פִּקּוּחַ נֶפֶשׁ) = The principle that preservation of human life overrides virtually any other religious rule.
Yahusha demonstrated this principle when He healed on the Sabbath (Matthew 12:10-12). Life-saving activities, medical emergencies, and caring for those in need are not violations of the Sabbath—they fulfill its intent.
| Time | Activity |
|---|---|
| Friday sunset | Light candles, welcome Sabbath with prayer |
| Friday evening | Special family dinner, blessings, singing |
| Saturday morning | Sleep in! Extended prayer, Scripture reading |
| Mid-morning | Fellowship with believers (home or assembly) |
| Afternoon | Family time, nature walk, rest, reading |
| Late afternoon | Third meal (seudah shelishit), reflection |
| Saturday sunset | Havdalah (separation) - Sabbath ends |

May we be faithful until You return, when all flesh will worship You from one Sabbath to another. In Yahusha's name, amen."
