Holy time. We did not, and we do not create holy time by our own actions. We do not get to choose which time, which day is holy. We have no power to create holiness, none! Just because we choose to take time out of our lives to think about our holy God, does not imbue that time with holiness. Why are we so incredibly arrogant to believe that man has the right to choose which day, which time he keeps holy? Why? It's incomprehensible to truly believe we can assign holiness to anything at all whatsoever. What power does any man have to make holiness? What? You say God gives some men holiness to do this? You say the Bible tells us what a man binds upon earth is bound in heaven- meaning Apostles charged with such a thing. Why is that, if they didn't make determinations upon what should be holy or not holy?
God only is holy and the Creator of the holy. God alone can alter holiness.
Jesus-- holiness in the flesh of mankind - God.
There is no doubt when Jesus came to mankind He came to make changes from the old to the new, from the pre-Christ, to the post Christ way of life. To say His life and death altered nothing would be ludicrous. So much of the pre Christ ways were all in place leading up to the post Christ life.
Is it any wonder when questioned on what laws to keep, Jesus pointedly mentioned the ten royal laws? The Gentiles all over the entire world living with their myriad of customs and ways so foreign to the Jewish way were to be told about God through those in the post Christ way that He Himself ushered in. The Gentiles were not to be forced to conform to pre Christ ways. They were to abstain from things that were contrary to the Ten Royal Laws.
The blood sacrificed to idols-- which would break the command of having no other gods before God- one of the royal laws. Not fornicating, again, fornication is putting yourself as God before God when you indulge in a relationship meant to be within the confines of marriage and not committing adultery. With the commandment on not committing adultery is the defining of marriage, the defining of a sexual relationship with another.
We have to be able to define all things still binding and loosed- forbidden and allowed- through the Ten Royal Commandments. Jesus even went so far as to point out the strength of the royal laws, as well as man believing they had a right to corrupt those laws as well. He said not to even think about another in a lusting manner because the thought is as bad as the deed. He also said, it was okay to do things on the Sabbath that weren't that of laboring for cost, laboring in things that could be done before the Holy Day, and yet if circumstances warranted you to do something to help someone or something then you noted the specialness of the occasion and did not believe you were condemned by that occasion. He seemingly loosed, permitted a less stringent Sabbath keeping, while He bound the loose interpretation of others, that of adultery, and that of murder. He did not do away with the Sabbath at all whatsoever that doesn't exist anywhere in the Bible, not a single place. He did not toss aside the pesky coveting commandment telling us it's okay to want other's things in such a way we are consumed by that coveting. He never said, okay, lies, bearing false witness are now okay.
The thing is, the Holiness of Time that was created in the beginning of time- during creation week- is such a special thing-- Satan wants it destroyed and he's done a great job doing so. He has. You say you still keep the Sabbath, that you go to church on Sunday faithfully, that's a good thing, right? I'd be lying to you right now if I said it was. I would. Because irrefutably what has become known as the Jewish Sabbath, has NEVER been changed by GOD, but by man without God's authority because NO man would ever have the authority to change holy time set in the beginning of Creation, reinforced wondrously in the Exodus and the delivering of the Royal Ten Commandments to mankind, and set in the hardest of unbreakable stone- upon the day that Christ was murdered on the cross, taken down from that cross on preparation day and placed in a tomb before Sabbath and then left in that tomb ALL Sabbath day, only to be discovered to have risen after the Sabbath day. CHRIST RESTED ON THE SABBATH DAY IN DEATH'S SLEEP. If this isn't more irrefutable proof that the Sabbath was still to be KEPT whatever could be? Some say He automatically changed it upon rising the next day, but HE NEVER SAID THAT and HE WOULD HAVE made it perfectly clear if He was going to do something so incredibly monumental and truly unfathomable as alter a single commandment of the ten.
Satan deceives. Satan has deceived practically all of Christianity, but not all. A good majority have been swept in his net of deception and he's drawn that net so tightly closed very few will ever escape. Society likes conformity, society likes peer following, society adores traditions and anything that threatens the cherished traditions we keep, or messes with the things we've readily conformed to, or demands we step out of our peer group and strike out on our own- is abhorred. We don't want to be THAT PERSON, that crazy person. We don't want to be the one rocking the boat wildly intended to wake people up to the danger they're in. We'd rather shut that person up, or simply nod and smile at them while clinging to our comfortable ways. We tell ourselves millions can't be wrong about something. We tell ourselves thousands of years of traditions cannot be wrong, that's ludicrous. We tell ourselves all sorts of things and the devil loves it when we do.
Go on, believe what you will, I just hope and pray you know in your heart beyond doubt you won't be among those who cry out in the day of Christ's return that you are His and He turns and tells you He doesn't know you. Many in that day will believe they've lived their lives for Christ only to find out they were deceived.
God help us all!
Let us KNOW and KEEP only YOUR TRUTH, not mankind's, not Satan's lies disguised as truth!
Right this moment, I'm living in holy time, it's the Sabbath day and the time I'm existing is has been made holy by God. God wants me to remember this day every week. God wants me to proclaim my hearts allegiance to Him, my Creator, my Redeemer on this day by CHOOSING not to do my own things- things that steal my thoughts from my God and place them solely upon me. God wants me to worship Him as the source of all LIFE, all LOVE, all HOPE. We are so incredibly blessed to be given the Sabbath day every week, so blessed. All glory to our GOD for allowing this day for us to NEVER EVER forget who HE IS! He is everything! This is GOD'S TIME, it was MADE for me to exist within with God. God gifted US with this Holy Time. God created us, and then said, here's a very special gift for you to open every Sabbath day- Holy Time, special time with me my Child, my creation, my love.
Thank You God! All glory, praise and honor unto You always! Amen!
Blessed be the day, blessed be the holy day. Blessed be the time, blessed be the holy time. God will be in this day, in this time. The day and the time are holy only because God is in them. Set aside this day, set aside this time it is HOLY.
God only is holy and the Creator of the holy. God alone can alter holiness.
