Question 191: What is the distinction between the Shabbat, Sunday and Elohiym’s Day?

Answer:

The word "Shabbat" is derived from the Hebrew "Shabbos / Shabbat," meaning "seven" or a heptad of seven days. It was employed to designate the seventh day of the Jewish week (from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday). Under the believer’s dispensation the day of rest is changed from the seventh to the first day of the week, in memory of Moshiach's resurrection and its true designation therefore is neither Shabbat (which is the ancient Jewish term) nor Sunday (which is the heathen appellation, i.e., "the day of the sun"), but "Elohiym's day." It is not with us, as with the Jews, a day of rest and absolute abstention from all employment, but a day of spiritual recuperation and religious activities in a thousand different directions and a period of withdrawal from secular pursuits. Under the Mosaic Law, one might not walk beyond certain distance, nor light a fire, nor even carry a handkerchief. With us it is rather a day of celebration, wholly unhampered by the ancient restrictions and obligations which were designed to apply to a different age and dispensation. The use of any one of the three terms - Sunday, Shabbat or Saviour's Day - is however, with most people, rather a matter of habit than of principle, as the historical facts are thoroughly well established.

Have a Sweet Shabbath...

The primary mission of the disciples in Matthew 10 was to proclaim the arrival of the Kingdom of Heaven to those who were actively looking for it. They did this by demonstrating the fulfillment of promises made concerning the Kingdom: healing, resurrection, cleansing, and liberating.

The disciples had received healing and liberation from Yeshua. When he told them to give these things to others as they had received them (Matthew 10:8), he implied that they should be making disciples of their own as Yeshua had made them to be his. Eventually, this would extend to evangelizing the nations, but that would have to wait until after Yeshua's personal mission on earth was complete.
