 To completely grasp
the reasons for modern Sunday Worship "Christian", it is necessary to explore the history of its observance. This is an important exercise for all Essene-Nasarenes who wish to truly keep the "Sabbath" and the "Lords Day" sacred.
"With which eyes do you look at the Lord's Day, you who have dishonored the Sabbath?
Do you perhaps ignore that the two days are brothers
and that if you hurt one, you strike at the other?
Understanding of the Roman, not Essene, influence in weekly calendar observance leads to a correct understanding and implementation of true sevenths day observance. Many assume the modern week goes all the way back to creation, when in fact its origin is much more recent.
"The dedication of the days to the seventh stars, which are called planets, was established by Egyptians, and it spread also to men not so very long ago".
"When the oriental seven-day period or week was introduced, in a time of Augustus, the first seven letters of the alphabet were employed in the same way as done for the nundinae,
to indicate the days of this new division of time".
