THE CASE W
*PelecMziecl
FLA<^
How long would you feel
safe in this land if everyone
trampled the flag with im
punity and freely violated
other sacred national institu
tions ?
You burn with indignation at
the.thought of it! We hold cer
tain things inviolate. We enforce
a Code of respect for the flag be
cause it represents that which
secures our interests and persons
—our country.
Now, all of us know that se
curity for eternity and the com
ing. new world is vastly more
important than even the secur
ity offered by our country itself.
But do you know that the gov
ernment of eternity, to which we
nil ire subject, whether we like it
or -not, also has sacred institu
tions? God, too, has a “flag.”
It is the Sabbath which memorial
izes His creative power. Down
through the ages He has called
this Day which He made sacred a
“sign” between Him and His
people. (Ezekiel 20:20, for in
stance.)
But there is an odd thing here.
The only Sabbath ever mentioned
in the Bible is the seventh day of
the week. History
Something rev,eals a. str:'nRe
J and tragic aban
vyrong dcinment of the
U consecrated bannei
Here of God’s kingdom
The seventh day of
the week has, since creation, been
consecrated as a sign of God’s
power and supremacy (Genesis 2:
1-3), it is enjoined in the Ten
Commandments (Exodus 20:8-11),
and will continue to he obsenvei
after the re-creation of this
earth! Isaiah 66:23.
Jesus Himself faithfully ob
served this great sign of alle
giance because He, as Creator
of the world (John 1:1-3), had
established it. He taught men
how to observe it and declared
that it was His, or the Lord’s
day. Revelation 1:10; Luka
6:9, 5.
Most Bible scholars are agreed
that Jesus and the apostles ob
served the seventh-day Sabbath,
and never set it aside for another
day.
The Sabbath, the seventh day
of the week, is a memorial of the
creation of the world! Exodus
20:11. Later events could not
change that, could they?
Some feel that the Sabbath was
only for the Jews: but we do not
believe that the creation of the
world was for the
Jews only, or that Are
only the Jews in v
the new earth will TOU
worship before the ii 5
Lord “from one numenr
sabbath to anoth
er.” The text says, “all flesh.”
Isaiah 66:23. The Sabbath only
for the Jews? Jesus answers,
“The sabbath was made for man.”
That includes all of us, doesn’t it?
Then why are we ignoring
God’s “flag” and recognizing an
entirely different one? It is as
Philip Carrington, an Angli
can archbishop, recently put it:
“ ‘The Bible Commandment says
on the seventh day thou shalt
rest. That is Saturday. No
where in the Bible is it laid
dnwn that worship should be
done on Sunday.’ Tradition, he
said, had made it a day of wor
ship.” Toronto Daily Star,
October 26, 1949.
It sounds very much like the
“falling away” the apostle Paul
said would come, doesn’t it? (II
Thessaloriians 2:1-4.)
Are you planning for eternity?
This matter of God’s “sign” of
allegiance is something you can
npt afford to overlook. (Next:
Are You an Individualist?)
