As Jesus said No one knows the day nor the hour. So keep watch by reading and walking with God day and night.
Please read both Books and let the peace of God and our lord Jesus Christ be with you Amen.
Matthew 24:36
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Amen
a. in the example you gave, it would be quite appropriate for you to rest on your seventh day, even if that day should fall on any other day other than Saturday. Personally, I would just call it my rest day & not my Sabbath as to some folk that might infer that I'm recognizing & observing the Jewish Sabbath & changing it to 'my Sabbath day'; but maybe that's another discussion.
b. in relation to God's Command to Israel to "keep the Sabbath (the seventh day) holy" & as to "what day to start or stop"(your comment), I would suggest the following. Israel, from the time of the giving of the Law, knew exactly when their working week (or rather, days of toil & wandering in the desert) started and stopped. You may recall the Scripture in Exodus 16:25-30, where God provided manna for six days & the people had to collect extra on the sixth day to tide them over for the seventh day (Sabbath). This continued throughout their wanderings so they had a calendar of sorts to mark out their days of toil & their day of rest; the arrival/cessation of manna never failed. This 'calendar' never changed since then & even when Jesus went through the corn fields on the Sabbath ( Matthew 12:1), or went to read in the synagogue on the Sabbath Day ( Luke 4:16), He never upbraided the Jews for observing a day that was not the very same one specified by God in Exodus.
And for today also, I believe that the Sabbath Day falls on the Saturday (as per the Gregorian calendar that we use), as Jews also recognize it & observe it. Chabad dot org, confirms that Chanukah begins this year on Sunday, December 18 and ends on Sunday, December 25 (with December 24 being their Sabbath - Kislev 30). I hope this helps a little.
I don't believe the days of the week was named back then. When they were named they named the 7th day Saturday.
And we know God rested on the 7th day from all his work.
However the Sabbath day was given to Israel.

God bless.
Do you know of any forms of supernatural miracles, requests etc. that could raise back to life a recently deceased and cremated family member whose life got cut short by accident instead of dying from old age?
If yes, let me know and I can gladly send you the details about the situation if needed.
Please let me know if it is possible or not.
Thanks so much for your time
explaining the differences.
God bless you.
S Spencer. by the way I'm out of town on my cellphone and it is improperly set up.
I recommend reading the book of Romans. The first chapter speaks directly to what I have posted to you.
You are correct. As a N.T. saint we are not bound to the Mosaic Law, but the spirit of the law is what we should be mindful of and order our life accordingly.
Please pray for a family friend, Paula, who had a stroke on 11/16/22 while talking to her sister on the phone.
These two ladies are born-again Christians in their 50s.
I always hold that one will only become religious when he is told to or when he lacks something psychologically and seeks it. What can Christianity provide us with its inherently guilty remarks
