Saturday Is Not the Lord’s Sabbath

The "Saturday" of the world is not the Sabbath of the Lord. Saturday begins at midnight and ends at midnight, even as does Sunday, a wholly unnatural, artificial beginning. But the Sabbath of the Lord begins at sunset and closes at sunset, regulated by God's great time clock, the sun, a beginning wholly natural, coming at a time when God's people can welcome the Sabbath with praise and prayer, and receive its parting blessing at its close. No true Sabbath-keeper should ever say, "I keep Saturday."
