CLAIMS OF THE SEVENTH DAY AND FIRST DAY COMPARED
From what we have said respecting the nature of the claims of the Lord’s rest-day, we might expect all to acknowledge it at once, unless they had some plain precept for turning from it. But so far from this, they have only a few vague and unnecessary inferences and suppositions upon which to base the claims of the first day. And will these afford a sufficient excuse before the great and awful Judge for a violation of his righteous law? Now the Scriptures plainly say in regard to the Sabbath institution, that God rested from his work on the seventh day; but they do not so specify in regard to the first day.TFNOS 33.1
He claimed the seventh day as his own; he did not so claim the first day, but gave it to man for labor.TFNOS 33.2
He blessed and sanctified the seventh day; he did not sanctify the first day.TFNOS 33.3
He commanded that the seventh day should be kept holy; he did not command to keep the first day.TFNOS 33.4
He has uttered fearful threatenings against those who profane the seventh day; he has spoken nothing against laboring on the first day.TFNOS 33.5
He has given great and special promises to those who keep holy the seventh day; he has not spoken one word of promise or blessing for keeping the first day.TFNOS 33.6
Everything that is necessary to give importance to the day—that is calculated to induce a proper observance of the day—is produced in favor of the seventh day; nothing of the kind can be produced in favor of the first day—no sanctity, no commandment, no penalty, no blessing. Can you “halt between two opinions,” on a matter so clearly revealed? Remember, “God will bring every work into Judgment.” Decide for that awful day.TFNOS 34.1
