The Change of the Sabbath.
By Light of Home
If there was ever any divine authority for the change of the Sabbath at the resurrection, why was not the Sabbath changed at that time in accordance with the command? Why did the people of Southern Europe continue to meet for worship on the seventh day of the week, which they did do in nearly every city, until as late as the middle of the fifth century? If the Sabbath was changed at the resurrection, why did the people of Scotland continue to observe Saturday as the Sabbath until the year 1069, when Queen Margaret, who was a devout Catholic, commanded that her subjects should work on Saturday and rest on Sunday? If the Sabbath was changed by divine authority, why did the people of Eastern Europe and Africa, and Western Asia, continue to meet for worship on the seventh day of the week for 1,200 years after the resurrection? If the Sabbath was changed, why do all the people of Southern and Eastern Europe and Western Asia continue to call the seventh day of the week the Sabbath, even to the present time? All these are historical facts, and we would be pleased to have our readers answer the above questions.—Light of Home.
