Every Sunday, in churches worldwide, you will hear ministers and congregation members alike say "Greetings on this LORD'S Day" or "Isn't it a beautiful LORD'S Day" or something to that effect
*
Many quote Revelation 1:10, “I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day and heard behind me a great voice as a trumpet", as their "proof text" but obviously they are just quoting to quote Scripture and have never actually studied it out.
*
The phrases "L-rd’s day" and "day of the L-rd" refer specifically to the day of Yahshua’s return at the final trumpet sound announcing His Second Coming.
*
Nowhere in the Bible is there any reference to Sunday in connection with these phrases. The only passage in the Bible where the specific term "L-rd’s day" is found is here in Revelation 1:10, where it defines the day of Yahshua’s return at the trumpet sound and the awesome events that surround it.
*
Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance lists a total of 20 passages containing the words "day of the L-rd." In each of them we find reference to the dreadful, end-time day of the Savior’s return to destroy the wicked on this earth. In none of them is any mention made to Sunday or its worship.

An example is Zephaniah 1:14-15, 17: "The great day of the Yahweh (L-rd) is near, it is near, and hastes greatly, even the voice of the day of the L-rd: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness…And I will bring distress upon men…"
*
Amos 5:18 warns those who desire and look forward to the day of Yahweh (the L-rd), saying that it is a day of darkness and not light.

*
Paul writes in 1Thessalonians 5:2 that the day of Yahweh will come as a thief in the night.
*
Joel 2:31 calls it "the great and terrible day of Yahweh." Each instance speaks of the Second Coming of Yahshua.
*
It is the exact opposite of a day of quiet, enjoyable, Sabbath rest!
Do you know how I know the 7th day Sabbath is the real "LORD'S Day"? It's in the Bible! Read it for yourselves friends. :)
Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28).
*
For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8)

The verses in Mark and Matthew are also consistent with the Old Testament:
*
Then GOD blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made (Genesis 2:3).
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it (Exodus 20:11).

If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the LORD honorable (Isaiah 58:13).

"But we worship on Sunday because that's when Christ rose from the dead!"
Really? GOD all of a sudden changed His Holy day? I don't read that in my Bible. That's because it's not in there. Neither is it in yours. You are repeating church tradition, what's always been taught, what's always been instilled in your head every Sunday morning at church.
We cannot choose to make a day holy that our Creator has already sanctified, hallowed, blessed and set apart.
*
Indeed He arose the Biblical 1st day of the week (which would be what's known as our Saturday evening) after the Sabbath ended (He even kept the Sabbath in the grave).
Remember, Biblical days begin from evening to evening.
His Resurrection didn't change the day of worship though. It didn't abolish or nullify the Sabbath day. The Sabbath still existed even after Yahshua resurrected. Nothing had changed other than the Resurrection. Preaching and teaching still went on in the synagogue's on Sabbath and people rested.
*
So, with that, I want to wish you all a blessed LORD'S Day. Happy Sabbath! \0/

Hi,
I was on google and came across your website. I was wondering after seeing some photos on your sidebar... do you wear a headcovering?
Yes Jo, indeed I do wear a headcovering. :)
