Discovering the Lost Sabbath Truth: A Review

Posted byPaulPosted inUncategorized

This is a fascinating booklet by the author Steve Wohlberg.

Wohlberg begins this booklet by telling the story of the search for and finding the Titanic on September 1, 1985. The Titanic sunk on its maiden voyage in the Atlantic Ocean 230 miles south of Nova Scotia on April 15, 1912. Then Wohlberg likens the finding of the Titanic to people finding the biblical truth of the 7th day Sabbath.

Wohlberg establishes the fact that God created the Sabbath on the 7th day of Creation Week.

And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God created and made (Genesis 2:2.3).

Wohlberg-emphasizes the following 5 points:

  1. The “seventh day” is obviously a very special day to God.
  2. God “rested” on the “Seventh-day” not because He was tired, but to commemorate His creative work.
  3. God “blessed” the seventh day alone, which is something He did to no other day.
  4. “Man” who was formed on the sixth day, has no right to change God’s rest day.
  5. God’s rest day can never be changed because Creation Week-by its very nature is unchangeable. What happened happened. What God did, He did. Period. It is locked, forever secure in the past.

Wohlberg brings to the reader’s attention that God included the commandment to keep the Seventh-day Sabbath in the 10 commandments.  See Exodus 20:8-11 which states:

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it, you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Wohlberg brings out that true Sabbath keeping is not a work that earns salvation but “keeping the biblical Sabbath means fully submitting to Jesus Christ as our Creator and Redeemer and resting in Him.

Born March 14,1950- Swedish Hospital- Seattle, Washington, I was third child in a family that would eventually have 8 Children, as follows listed in order of oldest to youngest: Francie, David, me, Ruthie, Jonathan, Lawrence, Margi and Shirley Jean* Sadly, Ruthie and Shirley Jean are now deceased. I am married to my dear wife Marthanne and the two of us tied the knot on April 4,1982. Marthanne has been and continues to be the highlight in my life ever since. I can trace my love of reading books to my childhood and credit my parents who read books to us and encouraged a love for reading in all of us kids. When I was in 2nd or 3rd Grade, the school I attended had kids in grades 1-4 in one room and along the back wall of the room was a long row of books (our library) close to 150 different titles. That year I read every book in my room’s “library”. Just before I turned 22 in 1972 I came to visit some friends in Maryland. My friend Brent had just become the manager of a Christian book store in Columbia Maryland and he invited me to work with him. I accepted the job and in 2017 retired from a 45-year career in the same bookstore and organization. Reading books, selling books, meeting many amazing customers, and meeting interesting and delightful authors was an enriching experience I will always cherish. One of the things that we did at the bookstore was have author events where the author would come to the store and our customers could meet the authors. Several of the authors that were special highlights to me during my time at the bookstore include, Rosa Parks, Ben Carson, Barry Black, H.M.S Richards, Willie Jolley, Mark Batterson, Ted Wilson, C.D. Brooks and dozens more. It was because of this passion I have of reading books, and my lifelong experience being around books and meeting these marvelous authors that prompted me to start this blog. I enjoy reading and posting my reviews of these books and I hope you find them as interesting and spiritually fulfilling as I do.
