This work presents a fervent appeal to keep the original seventh‑day Sabbath, arguing that it remains the binding commandment from the very beginning of Scripture. Drawing on verses from Genesis, Exodus, the Gospels and Revelation, the author weaves a concise biblical case that the Sabbath is central to entering the holy city. Readers are invited to see the Sabbath not as a relic but as the “perfect, royal law of liberty” that safeguards eternal life.
The author also traces how historic shifts—particularly the Roman and papal re‑interpretations that moved worship to the first day—have obscured this truth, urging a return to the ancient practice. In this expanded second edition, additional light is shed on the covenantal nature of the Ten Commandments and their relevance to personal faith and even civic duty. The tone is both scholarly and pastoral, aiming to nourish a “little flock” scattered across nations.
