Sabbath Fact #4:
We Know the True Seventh Day
Some reject the seventh-day Sabbath
over the belief that we cannot know which
day it falls on today, so picking any day
should be okay. But this is fallacy. Here are four proofs that
identify the true Sabbath.
1: According to Scripture, Christ died on Friday and
rose on Sunday, the first day of the week. Practically all
churches acknowledge this by observing Easter Sunday
and Good Friday. “This man went unto Pilate, and
begged the body of Jesus. And he took it down, and
wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that
was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was
laid. And that day was the preparation, and the
sabbath drew on. The women also, which came
with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld
the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. And
they returned, and prepared spices and ointments;
and rested the sabbath day according to the
commandment” (Luke 23:52–56).
This is clear evidence that Jesus died the day
before the Sabbath! The day of His death was a
“preparation day” because it was the time to
get ready for the Sabbath. Notice, then, that the
women rested over the Sabbath “according to
the commandment.” The commandment says,
“The seventh day is the
Sabbath,” so we know
they were resting on
Saturday. The very next Some people suggest this

And they found the stone God (Exodus 20:11) reveals the

2: The calendar has not been changed so as to confuse The key to understanding these two verses rests in the
