The Sabbath Trampled On Site 7
Narrative for Site 7 on the Sabbath Trail
by Pastor Merlin Knowles
The Sabbath by this time was not just in decline but it really was being trampled upon in various ways and when the people rejected God they were actually rejecting God's rulership over them, and if we are not ruled by God and if they are not going to be ruled by God, then they would be ruled by others.

The Sabbath Trampled Upon
Warnings from prophets regarding apostasy & Sabbath breaking were spurned, so 10 tribes went into captivity. Years later, the remaining tribes ignored similar warnings and trampled, profaned, and labored on the Sabbath day. God desired them to do justice, honor Him, delight in the Sabbath, and keep it holy. By rejecting God's sovereignty, they chose bondage...to be ruled by others. Even after returning from captivity, Sabbath reform was achieved only by threats from Nehemiah. Is. 56&58, Jer. 17:19-27, Neh. 13:14-21

El Sábado Pisoteado
Las advertencias de los profetas acerca de la apostasía y el rompimiento del sábado fueron menospreciados, así que 10 tribus fueron cautivadas. Años después, el resto de las tribus ignoro las advertencias similares; así pisotearon, profanaron y trabajaron en el día del sábado. Dios deseaba que ellos hicieran justicia en este día, que lo honoraran, se deleitaran en el sábado y lo guardaran sagradamente. Por rechazar la soberanía de Dios, ellos escogieron la servidumbre...de ser gobernados por otros. Y aun después de regresar de la cautividad, la reforma del sábado se llevo acabo solamente por las amenazas de Nehemias. Isaías 56 & 58, Jeremias 17:19-27, Nehemias 13:14-21
