Shalom Jan001, I was wondering if you could explain why the Gentiles did not ask Paul to meet with them on the NEXT day, instead of waiting until the NEXT Sabbath:The Saturday Sabbath day of rest for the OT Israelites was for the Israelites only and therefore Saturday is not the Sabbath day of rest for the early NT Christians which were comprised of both Jews and non-Jews. The Rest/Sabbath day for all NT Christians is Sunday, the first day of the week.
The Jewish Feast days were all fulfilled by Jesus Christ.
",,,,,,,,You believe the last three Festivals are yet to be fulfilled by Jesus. You believe Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot are yet in the future. The implications of this belief would suggest:
- There are no saints "in Christ" yet in heaven. Abraham, the patriarchs, the apostles, and all the dead "in Christ" are awaiting their entrance into the heavenly kingdom. The captives have not been set free.
- There has been no atonement. The atoning blood of Jesus Christ has yet to do its work. Redemption is not complete. The letter to the Hebrews is wrong, and the veil has not yet been rent.
- The Spirit of the living God does not yet dwell in men. Jeremiah 31 has not yet happened. Paul was wrong when he said that saved men are the tabernacle of the Holy Ghost, and Peter was wrong when he said we are being built up a Spiritual house. John was wrong when he said, "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God." God does not yet tabernacle with man.
I believe the captives have been set free, the dead "in Christ" are in heaven, and those of us believeth on to Jesus have already passed from death to life, and we have been raised up and seated with Christ in God’s heaven. God’s promise in Jeremiah has come to pass and God tabernacles with men." https://www.preteristarchive.com/Modern/0000_silvestri_festivals-fulfilled.html
Acts 13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
Why didn't they ask Paul to tell them about it tomorrow on Sunday? Or why didn't Paul just tell them, Hey Gentiles, we are meeting tomorrow on the 1st day of the week, come and hear about it then? Why make the Gentiles WAIT until the NEXT Sabbath? Blessings in The Name, ImAHebrew.
