At Creation God Created the Seventh-Day Sabbath as Holy Time Most people are under the misconception that the seventh day Sabbath was originally given to the Jews only. This is not true! The Bible clearly teaches that from the beginning of creation God made the seventh day holy. "Thus the heavens and earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day Hebrew reads “the sixth day”] God ended His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made" (Gen. 2:1-3, KJV). Few people understand that Adam and Eve were not Jews. The Scriptural truth is that the Jews did not come on the scene until nearly 3,000 years after creation. Furthermore, 3,000 years after the creation of the seventh-day Sabbath, is nearly one-half of all human history! There is no question that God created the seventh day Sabbath for all mankind. Jesus confirmed this when He said, "The Sabbath was made for man" [The Greek word anthropos means mankind in general] (Mk. 2:27). He did not say that the Sabbath was made for the Jews only.
