What does EGW write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "How is the Sabbath determined?"
Answer
The Sabbath is determined and celebrated according to the biblical instruction “from evening to evening.” Extensive studies of the Holy Scriptures have confirmed that this “evening” is precisely marked by the time of sunset. Thus the seventh day of the week, the Sabbath, begins on the evening of the sixth day, as soon as the sun sets.
Biblical Determination of the Sabbath Beginning
“It is evident that, if the tenth day of the seventh month began on the evening of the ninth day at sunset, the seventh day of the week, or the Sabbath, always began on the evening of the sixth day at sunset.”
Sunset Instead of a Fixed Time
“We are now pleased that Brother Andrews has presented the biblical testimony on this question in his usual powerful and sincere manner, which clarifies beyond any doubt that the Sabbath begins not only in the evening but at sunset.”
The Biblical Definition of Evening
“At the place that the Lord your God will choose to have His name dwell there, you shall slaughter the Passover sacrifice in the evening, when the sun sets.” (Deuteronomy 16:6)
Celebrating From Evening to Evening
“On the ninth day of the month in the evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.” (Leviticus 23:27-32)
Divine Confirmation Through Visions
“I saw that it is indeed so: ‘From evening to evening you shall keep your Sabbaths.’ The angel said: ‘Take the word of God, read it, understand it, and you cannot err. Read carefully, and you will find there what evening is and when it is.’”
