Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, WHICH DECEIVETH THE WHOLE WORLD: he was cast out into the earth... One way that Satan has deceived the world is through the neglect (or change) of the weekly sabbath day. Many theologians teach that Saturday is the JEWISH sabbath, and Sunday is the Christian sabbath. When Yahweh instituted the sabbath there was neither Jew nor Christian around.
Genesis 2:2-3 And on the seventh day Elohim ended his work which he had made.

The true Messiah taught us to do the will of the Father (YAHWEH) by keeping his commandments. Churches are not teaching people the message of REPENTENCE and HOLINESS!

Every Sunday, millions upon millions of people all over the world attend church services without given their actions a second thought. It probably would seem blasphemous for these people to change their day of worship. After all, this is the way of the world. Nevertheless...
And Elohim BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY, AND SANCTIFIED IT: because that in it HE rested from all his work which Elohim created and made.
Six days shall thy labor and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of Yahweh thy Elohim: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
For in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the SEVENTH day: wherefore YAHWEH BLESSED the sabbath day, and HALLOWED it.
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
