Exodus 20:24
An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
An altar of earth was to be made to the Lord, and upon it burnt offerings and peace offerings of sheep and oxen were to be sacrificed. This direction came immediately after the prohibition of making gods of silver and gold, and that connection rebukes the hoarding of gold and silver now when means are needed for men and women to receive the light of truth. In every place where He records His name He will come to His people and bless them.
The direction belongs to the holy law spoken by God Himself at Sinai in majesty and glory as Ruler of the world. It is part of the instruction given to Moses in the mount in Exodus 19-24, written by God's own finger on stone and standing together with laws written in a book. It was given by Christ Himself as Teacher on Sinai who afterward spoke in human flesh. The book laws to which it belongs guard against doing injustice and guide dealings with one another. It is to be studied and presented before the people now just as verily as by the children of Israel in the days of Moses.
As part of the perfect law it reveals God's will and the principles of His kingdom. It is a standard of righteousness and right conduct by which people are judged and receive a sentence of life or death, and its truth cannot be changed. As part of God's law given at Sinai it is the highest source of instruction and education, showing that obedience to God's commandments comes from God and not from unsanctified human teachers. It shows part of the commandments of God that must be kept, summed up as loving the Lord God with all heart and soul and strength and mind and loving one's neighbour as oneself.
To set aside one of these commandments and put in its place the observance of a day that bears no sanctity usurps an authority that infringes upon God's divine prerogatives, and He will deal with all who do this. The Sunday sabbath is a child of the papacy set forth to be observed as the Lord's Sabbath, and to obey this human law compels transgression of God's laws, since human enactments that conflict with God's laws do not bear divine approval. Each person is called to consecrate himself where God has said He will meet them.
