==Origin of the Sabbath==

[[File:Schnorr von Carolsfeld Bibel in Bildern 1860 007.png|thumb|''Seventh Day of Creation'' from ''The Bible in Pictures'' by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld: The Sabbath day originated from God’s rest on the seventh day after His six-day Creation. ]]

The Sabbath originated from the fact that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth for six days and rested on the seventh day. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2%3A1-3&version=NIV|title=Genesis 2:1–3|quote=}}</ref> This means that those who keep the seventh-day Sabbath can be blessed<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+56%3A2&version=NIV|title=Isaiah 56:2|quote=}}</ref> and sanctified. In the time of [[Moses]], God appointed the Sabbath as the fourth of the Ten Commandments, and made it the day to commemorate the power of the [[Creator]].

{{quote5|내용="'''Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy'''. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God . . . For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."|출처=[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A8-11&version=NIV Exodus 20:8–11]}}

Whenever God commanded His people to keep the Sabbath, He mentioned His work of creation of the heavens and the earth.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+31%3A16-17&version=NIV|title=Exodus 31:16–17|quote=}}</ref> So whenever we keep the Sabbath, God lets us remember His power as the Creator.

==The Biblical Sabbath Is Saturday==

*'''Evidence 1. Bible'''

The Sabbath day is Saturday in calendar, today. Through the scene of [[Resurrection ~~of Jesus~~|Jesus’ resurrection]] in the Bible, we can confirm this.

The Sabbath day is Saturday in calendar, today. Through the scene of [[Jesus' Resurrection|Jesus’ resurrection]] in the Bible, we can confirm this.

{{quote5|내용=When the Sabbath was over . . . When Jesus '''rose early on the first day of the week''', he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons.|출처=[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+16%3A1-9&version=NIV Mark 16:1–9]}}

It is recorded in the Bible that Jesus was resurrected on the first day of the week. Here, the first day of the week indicates the day after the Sabbath; because it is written that the first day of the week came after the Sabbath was over (Mk 16:1–2). Therefore, we can know that Jesus was resurrected the day after the Sabbath; and people know well Jesus was '''resurrected on Sunday'''. So in Today’s English Version, it is recorded in Mark 16:9, “After Jesus rose from death early on Sunday . . .” If the day after the Sabbath is Sunday, the '''Sabbath day is Saturday'''. Therefore, the biblical Sabbath is Saturday.

 It is recorded in the Bible that Jesus was resurrected on the first day of the week. Here, the first day of the week indicates the day after the Sabbath; because it is written that the first day of the week came after the Sabbath was over (Mk 16:1–2). Therefore, we can know that Jesus was resurrected the day after the Sabbath; and people know well Jesus was '''resurrected on Sunday'''. So in Today’s English Version, it is recorded in Mark 16:9, “After Jesus rose from death early on Sunday . . .” If the day after the Sabbath is Sunday, the '''Sabbath day is Saturday'''. Therefore, the biblical Sabbath is Saturday.
