About this book

In The Seventh Day Sabbath, a Perpetual Sign, from the Beginning to the Entering into the Gates of the Holy City, According to the Commandment, Joseph Bates mounts a rigorous, scripture-centered defense of the seventh-day Sabbath as an enduring divine ordinance. Drawing from Genesis, Exodus, the Gospels, and Revelation, Bates traces the Sabbath from creation through apostolic teaching and critiques the historical shift from Saturday observance to Sunday by imperial and papal authority. This religious treatise blends biblical exegesis, prophetic interpretation, and 19th-century restorationist zeal to argue that Sabbath-keeping is integral to obedience, sanctification, and preparation for the Second Coming. Bates examines the Sabbath’s role as a perpetual sign between God and His people, explores theological implications for law and grace, and situates his argument within the broader context of Adventist thought and Christian history. Ideal for students of Christian doctrine, religious historians, Bible study groups, and listeners curious about Sabbath theology and early Adventist perspectives, this audiobook offers a concise, persuasive case for revisiting an oft-debated commandment and its place in faith and practice.
