Since i started studying carefully last year to determine for myself whether October 22, 1844 is the correct day for Jesus to go into the Most Holy Place that year, i have been brought back time and time again to the obvious, completely overlooked fact – that at least one of God’s festivals has very important meaning for us, and marks a specific day in God’s salvation plan many years after the cross.
This has led me into deeper study of God’s festivals in general. I thot it would be easy to show that they are all “sabbath”s, but according the best information i can currently find in the inspired words, the only “sabbath” other than of course the 7th day sabbath, is the Day of Atonement – the 10th day of the 7th month. The exact same Hebrew is used to describe both – “shabbath” “sabbathown”.
So why do we Seventh-day Adventists continue to throw one of these sabbaths away at the cross, while clinging diligently to the other? Have we forgotten our October 22, 1844 roots?
Last week i put a video i made calling fellow SDAs to consider the claims of the sabbath of the 10th day of the seventh month up on youtube:

The format is a response to a fellow SDA believer who made a video supporting the 7th day sabbath here:

I’m still studying this all out, and earnestly desire your advice, questions, and comments.
May Jesus receive all the glory!
