Shabbat

Fränz Müller

We were given this day

from the very start

to remember and keep

with all our heart.

But mankind did

what they always do

they changed His law

and lied to you.

The seventh day Sabbath

was commanded of old

and not Day One

as you’ve been told.

If you doubt my words

or disagree

be like the Bereans

and study, and see.

    I have no intention of doing the study, nothing to disagree or agree with.
    However good luck to you - go in peace .

    A poem of old vs new where a day of worship was changed from the seventh to the first day of the week. People do not realize this just as they do not realize that an eye for an eye was changed for forgiveness depending on what religion one follows. We live in a changing world.

    ränz, this is a passionate defense of Sabbath and a strong challenge to inherited tradition. I deeply agree that sacred rest should be remembered and protected, even where our theological conclusions differ. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
