Brother, Happy Sabbath begins for me this Friday at 12:24 pm Eastern Standard Time! Accepting God's day in Genesis, I was able to understand His message in Hebrews. The morning-to-morning weekday established in Genesis explains the two announcements in Hebrews. I first understood the first day in Genesis ends in a "morning", followed by Manna spoiling in the "morning", unless the next day was a Sabbath, and finally, I could understand how God prevented Joshua from entering the Sabbath for 40 years in the desert with Manna. The two announcements in Hebrews, chapter 3 and 4, verify the morning-to-morning day in Genesis: first, Joshua did not enter God's "day" of rest during the 40 years with Manna in the desert, and secondly, Joshua did not give God's "day" of rest to Judaism, because hearing the story of Manna, written for us from morning-to-morning did Joshua no good, because he wrongly assumed that the Sabbath in the Promised Land at an earlier time from evening-to-evening is the seventh day of the week when God had taught him for 40 years in the desert that the seventh day of the week is from morning-to-morning and not from evening-to-evening.
- I first understood Genesis day from morning-to-morning.
- Then I understood that the days with Manna for 40 years were from morning-to-morning.
- And finally, in Hebrews 3 and 4, the morning-to-morning of the seventh day near the Promised Land does not enter God's Sabbath, which Joshua entered from evening-to-evening before the seventh day of the week in the Promised Land.
God gave instructions to remember the Sabbath in Jerusalem at an earlier time, from evening-to-evening than the seventh day of the week from morning-to-morning, established in Genesis and confirmed below. Every translation has mistakenly assumed that God's "expression": "the first of the Sabbaths" refers to Sunday when referring to Saturday, another way to refer to the seventh day of the creation week we call Saturday.
long after the Sabbath (evening), as it dawns beyond Saturday (morning), came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, to see the tomb. (Mathew 28:1, my own translation)
United in our hope for the soon return of Jesus, Jorge
