The history of the Sabbath embraces a period of over 6,000 years. From Creation, the Lord designated the seventh day as the Sabbath. His example as our Creator, His blessing placed upon that day, and His sanctification or divine appointment of that day for holy use have not changed. The Sabbath dates from the beginning of our world's history.
As a Bible scholar and theologian of amazing depth, J. N. Andrews presents the continuity of the Bible from Creation throughout Bible history, and continues on through secular history to his own day, showing that there have always been faithful followers of God who have kept the seventh day as God's holy Sabbath. He also shows the historical evidence for the process through which Sunday has usurped the place of the Sabbath.
