With this in mind consider that there is a higher calling spoke of in Philipians and that is what I would like to take a look at here in eight simple ways.

The church of "Dispensation of Mystery" is different from all other callings in several respects. We should take note of different aspects and study to show ourselves approved.

1. They are a chosen out people without regard to any racial or national distinctions (Ephesians 1:4). They are chosen in Christ. They are believers chosen out a great many believers for a specific purpose. Remember that although Israel was a chosen nation, they were not only ones who were believers.

2. The only people whose sphere of blessing is anywhere but on this earth (Ephesians 1:3). They are blest in Christ (not Abraham) in heavenly places (not earth). Therefore they do not have part in millennial

3. The time of choosing and purpose of this group is unique. It is from before overthrow (Ephesians 1:4). No other family of God has this time factor. This puts church in line to partake of a promise of eternal life made in Christ before ages began (Ephesians 3:6; 2 Timothy 1:1; Titus 1:2).

Go grab a calendar. See which day is seventh day and then you'll know Biblical Sabbath. And remember, GOD GAVE MANKIND gift of Sabbath from creation. Adam and Eve weren't Jewish! And yet God expected them to remember seventh day Sabbath as a memorial of creation.

When we assemble on our God-given Sabbath, we know we're worshipping King of Creation. Any other "sabbath" is simply man-made! The Great Creator God only blessed seventh day with His Presence, and therefore set it apart as special. We shouldn't accept any cheap imitations or substitutes, whether it's Muslim Friday or traditional Sunday!

Since mankind lost or neglected truth about God's Sabbath, Creator chose to reveal it again when He was in process of making Israel into His Servant-Nation. God instructed them, in order that they could teach others: "Remember Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but seventh day is Sabbath of LORD your God. In it you shall do no work.... For in six days LORD made heavens and earth, sea, and all that is in them, and rested seventh day. Therefore LORD blessed Sabbath day and hallowed it" (Ex. 20:8-11).

Notice: God claims Sabbath as His. He doesn't refer to it as "Jewish Sabbath." Though it became known as that to distinguish it from various pagan days of worship (Ga. 4:10). "The Lord's day" was meant for all mankind to enjoy and appreciate (Mat. 12:8; Isa. 56:6). And early Church, composed of both Jews and Gentiles, did celebrate proper Sabbath together for over THREE HUNDRED YEARS! That's longer than U.S. has known independence!

When GODrestored Sabbath to Israel, it was same SEVENTH DAY SABBATH instituted at Creation. It wasn't changed to a different day. And its purpose remained same: to reveal CREATOR and commemorate His majestic works of art!
