The Seventh Day Is the Sabbath

The prophets spoke and taught not in terms of a first-day sabbath but in terms of a seventh-day Sabbath. Christ kept, taught, and perpetuated not the sabbath of the first day of the week, but the Sabbath of the commandment.
There are no other authorities for a true Sabbath than these, God, the prophets, and Christ. There are no other possibilities for the necessary broken cycle to establish Sunday as the true Sabbath. There are no other available immutable sources to lend argument to either side than these sources. We can then with sureness draw this conclusion—Sunday is not the true Sabbath, but the seventh day, commonly called Saturday, is.
