Discuss Leviticus 23 Page 4

    I respectively disagree with Wesley 's notes. The mention of 'your Sabbath ' is by no means the name or title of this Sabbath. This verse indicates the weekly Sabbath of the week which is the seventh day of the week, Saturday which begins from Friday sunset and concludes Saturday Sunset. Prior to roman influence on the calender the days of the week began and ended the same way from sunset to sunset. The mention of 'your Sabbath ' refers to the Sabbath being a sign between humanity and God and the Sabbath was given to all of mankind. The Resurrection and the Sabbath have no connection to each other, this idea is man made and not supported by scripture. What we find is that scripture informs us the baptism is in remembrance of the Resurrection.

    I would like to know where to take those things mentioned on Leviticus 23:40, as the text does not state how to use it (as an offer to Jesus placed inside or outside our home?; to take such things somewhere else?; etc.). Please advice

    3: Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
    (in all your dwellings.) Saturday or Sunday availeth you nothing; it’s when you with your family spend one day in seven in Reverence to God; this is what pleases our Lord. And these verses were recorded and brought though thousands of years so great man of wisdom could not understand how simple God’s truth really is. St. John 12:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
    People who believe in God, so they can’t believe in evolution; this makes them 50% right. People who believed in evolution, so they can’t believe in God; this makes them 50% right. If these people ever get together (and be converted, and I should heal them.) their eyes will be open and their hearts will be filled and together they will be 100% right. 4: These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. (their seasons.) when men should gather in Reverence to God. 44: And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD. That we would live in Reverence to God.

    I have read this vers over a 100 time and I see the word “from” being used, there for I start my count from Sunday at sunset and end my count 50 days later. So that would be at sunset on a Sunday evening. And that will be the beginning of Pentecost. So Pentecost starts on Sunday night and ends on Monday evening at sunset.
    I have heard that the word “from” is not to be read as that, I have heard that it should be the word “on” If this is the case then Pentecost would be on Sunday.
    I think this is vitally important to get write. Because if it is on a Monday and one thinks it is Sunday then you will miss out on receiving Gods holly spirit.

    The word of God is truth and just, read this chapter tells us from generation to generation our God stands still and his love has counting on top the Lamb of God. The God you and I serve is the covenant keeping God.
  • James Kirby on John 20:26 - 13 years ago
    By Biblical reckoning of counting days this second appearance of the risen Messiah took place on a Monday... not on Sunday. The word -After- means you start counting -after- the first day He appeared which was a Sunday. For the proper way to understand -after- see Leviticus 23:16. You start counting the 50 days -after- the Sabbath, which means you start on the next day which was a Sunday and that lands you on Sunday... 50 days -after- a Sabbath, which was a Saturday. Therefore we start counting the 8 days the day -after- the first appearance, which was a Sunday and we end up on a Monday.
  • Benjamin on Luke 6:1 - 13 years ago
    Shalom! There is a first Sabbath (protos sabbaton) in Mark 16:9, translated "the first day of the week". But sabbaton is in the singular and therefore refers to a Sabbath day and not a week. This first Sabbath is the weekly Sabbath, counted 7 other ones till Pentecost. By the way the Lord is risen on the first Sabbath and not on Sunday. There is a mia sabbaton, which is in plural and refers to the 7 weeks ( Leviticus 23:15), this refers to the Sunday in Matthew 28:1, Luke and John. But a singular sabbaton refers always to a Sabbath day, as in Luke 6:1.

    Actually, concerning the 'ereb boqer (evenings, mornings) of verse 14, the Adventists are not in error on this point. It's all in the word order. "Evening and morning" is the Biblical language used for meaning one day. This principle is set forth in the book of Genesis:

    "So the evening and the morning were the first day." (1:5)

    "So the evening and the morning were the second day." (1:8)

    "So the evening and the morning were the third day." (1:13)

    And so forth. In the Bible, days begin in the evening. Hence the reason the Lord said "from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath" ( Leviticus 23:32). The morning, then, would be the second part of the day.

    However, with regards to sacrifices, this order is reversed. Instead of evening and morning, the language use for offerings is morning and evening. This is made plain in the following examples:

    Exodus 29:39
    One lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at twilight ['ereb].

    Numbers 28:4
    The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, the other lamb you shall offer in the evening.

    2 Kings 16:15
    On the great new altar burn the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering...

    1 Chronicles 16:40
    to offer burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering regularly morning and evening...

    2 Chronicles 2:4
    ...for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the New Moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God...

    2 Chronicles 13:11
    And they burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense...

    Thus the phrase "morning" and "evening" became the staple for signifying sacrificial offerings all throughout Scripture. As Siegfried Schwantes points out, this expression perpetuated into the post-Old Testament when the Apocrypha came about. 1 Esdras 5:50 says, "and they offered sacrifices according to the time, and burnt offerings to the Lord both morning and evening."

    Now, if the text in Daniel 8:14 had stated 2300 mornings and evenings, then a case could be made that the passage was, indeed, talking about sacrifices (though, I think, it would still seem that each morning and evening would stand for a day). However, the text doesn't use that order. Rather, it says "evenings and mornings" which, as indicated above, is the language used for a day. So, the KJV rendering of 'ereb boqer as meaning "days" may be a bit interpretive, but it is by no means inaccurate. The translators knew what they were doing in this case. So, understanding that the expression means 2300 days and applying the year-day principle to this text (which had also been done from time to time prior to the Millerite movement), the doctrine that this is a 2300 year prophecy stands upon firm ground.
