Standfast in the Liberty

The Commandment to “Keep the Sabbath Holy” has a codicil attached to it where Yah reminds us that He brought us out of Egypt, out of slavery (and into Liberty).    So keeping the sabbath is an intrinsic part of Liberty.

Liberty is the ability to make our own decisions based upon our own logic and preferences and to be at Liberty is to be free.

On the other hand religion demands that we comply with the tenets of said religion at the expense of our liberty by keeping alternative sabbaths on alternative days;   Jews keep a highly ritualized sabbath on the seventh day,  Christians abandon the seventh day and choose instead the first day (Sunday).

The consequences are enormous, we are back in slavery, in a spiritual Egypt,    Keeping Sabbath set aside for our own Liberty is vastly important, the Psalmist tells us that Sabbath is for Rest, meditation and for meeting together.   We have time to seek a personal relationship with Yah and without Sabbath we cannot progress.

There is no ‘church’ service, just a social gathering where we interact and ‘mingle’ maybe discuss family,  politics, the weather or the things of Yah.   This is the true Liberty, gathering together with other believers and participating in true fellowship.

We gather together on shabbat on zoom, it works well as there are only a few of us, but all are welcome.   Contact me for information if you are interested in participating,   we meet at 6pm Israel time (+2) which is 8am for our California participant mikenetanel11@gmail,com for info, please provide a small bio if possible, contact name, the country/area where you live, and maybe a paragraph or two about yourself.   The ‘meetings’ are in English and at the moment we are all mother tongue English speakers (US and UK) but even so we sometimes get language glitches, if your English is second language, we will make accommodations as necessary.

We are trying to stand fast in the Liberty wherewith Yahushua has made us free and to be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.   That bondage is any religion that seeks to deny us to seek First the Kingdom of Tah, His Truth and His righteousness.      

Moedim Sabbath

On day four of Creation Yah created the ‘Seasons’ the Hebrew word here is ‘moedim’ (H4150).   It is translated as ‘seasons’ and is very easy to just gloss over.

Leviticus 23 defines those ‘unimportant’ ‘seasons’ and we find that those Moed are called by Christians ‘the Jewish feasts’ and are deemed to be irrelevant…..

Irrelevant? Something created by Yah on the fourth day of Creation?

The first of the Moedim is the seventh day; every seventh day is set aside as a day of rest, meditation and meeting together.   But Christians set aside the first day (Sunday) as Sabbath, as did the pagans in Rome, but even the word Sabbath is rooted in the Hebrew word for seven (sheva).   A moed is an appointment, and in the cases we are talking about, these are our appointments with Yah.   Imagine going to an interview with your Boss on Sunday when the appointment was on Saturday, and when in company regulations it specifically states that Saturday is the set apart day….

There is no mention of going to ‘church’ on either Saturday or Sunday, going to the ‘Temple’ was a pagan thing; and a day of taxing the people to pay for the easy living of Priests, Vicars, Rabbis and Pastors.

Ours is a personal relationship with Yah and on Sabbath we rest, commune with Yah and meet together to enjoy the company of fellow believers.

Christians say that Sunday Sabbath is acceptable, but I can show you a better way…..

Yah Created Sabbath on the seventh day and ordered that we keep it thus, this was changed by ‘men’ starting with Constantine, Justin Martyr, Ignatius and Eusebius.   Which of these was given authority by Yah to change the day of rest defined on the fourth day of Creation itself?

This is a form of religion which denies the Power thereof…..

The Boss tells you to meet with Him on Saturday, but you decide to go t the rendezvous on Sunday, what happens?   NOTHING, it is an empty day, the Boss is not there……
