The Ultimate ‘Big’ Reason to Keep the Sabbath

By Elder Enoch Ofori Jnr.

Introduction
Yes, here’s the ultimate ‘big’ reason to observe God’s Sabbath in this end time. The seventh-day Sabbath is arguably the most misunderstood and disliked commandment among all the laws of God. And every excuse has been invented by men to avoid keeping it. It has been dismissed as ‘nailed to the cross’, as a yoke, and as an old Jewish relic of no relevance in the modern world.

In the face of man’s gross disdain for the Sabbath, however, God positively affirms it throughout scripture. He calls it “My holy day” and promises great rewards to those who observe it with delight and respect (Isa. 58:13-14). By it, He sets apart His chosen ones by a perpetual covenant where the Sabbath is “a sign” between God and His people “forever” (Ex. 31:13, 16-17; Ez. 20:12).

But above all, God affirms the Sabbath as required to be kept up to the very time of the end when His salvation will be “revealed in the last time” (1 Pet. 1:5). This is the thrust of the Divine prophetic message communicated through the prophet Isaiah in Isa. 56: ‘Observe My Sabbath along with righteousness and justice when My salvation is near to come and My righteousness to be revealed’ (v. 1).
