About This Book

The author argues that the Sabbath instituted at creation remains a perpetual, binding commandment and must be observed on the seventh day; he traces biblical support from Genesis through New Testament passages and Revelation, contends that the church erred by shifting observance to the first day, examines the covenants and the law's continued authority, and links Sabbath observance to preparedness for final judgment and entrance into the holy city; the edition adds clarifications on disputed texts and urges readers to review the scriptural case for restoring seventh-day observance.
