History of the Sabbath and First Day of the Week - John N. Andrews

The conclusion to which these facts lead is
inevitable; viz., that the pillar furnished from this
text for the first-day temple is like the foundation
of that edifice, simply a thing of the imagination,
and quite worthy of a place beside the pillar
furnished from the record of our Lord's second
appearance to his disciples.
A third pillar for the first-day edifice is the
following: Redemption is greater than creation;
therefore the day of Christ's resurrection should be
observed instead of the day of the Creator's rest.
But this proposition is open to the fatal objection
that the Bible says nothing of the kind.[29] Who
then knows that it is true? When the Creator gave
existence to our world, did he not foresee the fall of
man? And, foreseeing that fall, did he not entertain
the purpose of redeeming man? And does it not
follow that the purpose of redemption was
entertained in that of creation? Who then can
affirm that redemption is greater than the creation?
But as the Scriptures do not decide this point,
let it be assumed that redemption is the greater.
