Three Important Things To Remember

I. Three Important Things To Remember

A. The Jewish day was divided at 6:00 P.M
The Jewish day was divided at 6:00 P.M.; the old day ended and the new day began. For example, look at “Diagram A,” (Page 10) and you will see that Wednesday actually ended at 6:00 P.M. on Wednesday. Thursday actually began at 6:00 P.M. on Wednesday. Friday began at 6:00 P.M. on Thursday and etc. The Romans began their new day at Midnight.

B. The Sabbath Day is always on Saturday, not Sunday.
Sunday is the first day of the week. Paul gave instructions to the Christians to “…lay by him in store, as God had prospered him, on the first day of the week" ( Sunday, 1 Corinthians 16:2). The disciples always came together to break bread and fellowship on the first day of the week (Sunday, Acts 20:7).

C. The Jewish day ran from “even” (evening) until “even” (evening).
This was according to Leviticus 23:32, with the time being set at approximately 6:00 P.M.
