<strong>to</strong> death. Wherefore the children of Israel shall<br />

keep the Sabbath, <strong>to</strong> observe the Sabbath<br />

throughout their generations, for a perpetual<br />

covenant."<br />

Revelation<br />

Human Philosophy declares that an indefinite<br />

period of time was taken in the creation of the<br />

world. Does God state the matter thus? No; He<br />

says, "It is a sign between Me <strong>and</strong> the children of<br />

Israel forever: for in six days [not six indefinite<br />

periods of time; for then there would be no possible<br />

way for man <strong>to</strong> observe the day specified in the<br />

fourth comm<strong>and</strong>ment] the Lord made heaven <strong>and</strong><br />

earth, <strong>and</strong> on the seventh day He rested, <strong>and</strong> was<br />

refreshed." Please read carefully the fifth chapter of<br />

Deuteronomy. God says again, "Remember [do not<br />

forget] the Sabbath day, <strong>to</strong> keep it holy. . . . For in<br />

six days the Lord made heaven <strong>and</strong> earth, the sea,<br />

<strong>and</strong> all that in them is, <strong>and</strong> rested the seventh day:<br />

wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, <strong>and</strong><br />

hallowed it."<br />
