HISTORY OF LAWS, DIVINE AND HUMAN, RELATING ΤΟ THE SABBATH. LAW OF GOD. THE first law on record relating to the Sabbath, was written on tables of stone, by the finger of God, more than three thousand years ago. It is in these words, viz:— "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.”—Ex. xx. This law ever has stood, now stands, and always must stand, unrepealed. It is over and above all law, binding on all men through all time; and its claims are imperative. See Wilson, Dwight, Humphrey, Agnew, Gurney, and others who have written on this subject;-also evidences and opinions hereafter recorded in this book. |
