Psalms 111:4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered....
The observance of the Sabbath is the sign between God and His people.....

20:20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD your God.

Let us not be ashamed to bear the sign that distinguishes us from the world.....
"IF..you love me, keep my commandments", (John 14:15)


"Verily My Sabbaths ye shall keep," the Lord declared to them; "for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.

Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you. . . . Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to eternal death.

The Sabbath is ever the sign that distinguishes the obedient from the disobedient.......
Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness ?

With masterly power Satan has worked to make null and void the fourth commandment, that the sign of God may be lost sight of.....
Revelation 12:17 "And the dragon (satan) was wroth (angry) with the woman (true church), and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ".


The Christian world have trodden underfoot the Sabbath of the Lord and observe a sabbath instituted by the enemy. But God has a people who are loyal to Him....
The work of Sabbath reform to be accomplished in the last days is foretold in the prophecy of Isaiah: "Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed.

Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil." "The sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, everyone that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of My covenant; even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer." Isaiah 56:1, 2, 6, 7. {GC 451.1}
These words apply in the Christian age, as shown by the context: "The Lord God which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him." Verse 8.

Here is foreshadowed the gathering in of the Gentiles by the gospel.
And upon those who then honor the Sabbath, a blessing is pronounced (Isaiah 56:2).

Thus the obligation of the fourth commandment extends past the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension of Christ, to the time when His servants should preach to all nations the message of glad tidings.

His work is to be carried forward in right lines.
The people who bear His sign are to establish churches and institutions as memorials to Him.

These memorials, however humble in appearance, will constantly bear witness against the false sabbath instituted by Satan (Daniel 7:25...'think to change times and laws'), and in favor of the Sabbath instituted by the Lord in Eden, when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy.
