A chronology table showing an uninterrupted timeline from Adam right up to the Flood, or the Deluge, of Noah's day. It has only 30 lines comprising 10 simple additions. The data used to construct the timeline comes entirely from the Bible, and in particular, the book of Genesis.

Some feel that when, “the commandments” are mentioned in the New Testament books—the Apostolic Writings—that it is the Ten Commandments in particular to which it refers. However, an explicitly named thing called, “The Ten Commandments,” is never mentioned anywhere in the Hebrew Scriptures, nor in the Apostolic Writings. It turns out that a tight focus on, “The Ten Commandments,” to the exclusion of the rest of the Law, is an idiosyncracy not based on biblical precedent. This focus may indicate a lack of full appreciation for what the ten commandments really are, which in turn can be attributed in a cause-and-effect manner, to a general, widespread rejection and neglect of Torah.

Did Yeshua break the Sabbath in the grain fields of Galilee? Many say that he did, and that he thumbed his nose at the Pharisees. Some say that he did not, but that he only broke the Pharisees' man-made additions to the Law of God: their traditions and the "fences" that they put up around God's Law invented to keep people at a safe distance from actually breaking God's command.

The last enemy that will be abolished is death, because he has put all things in subjection under his feet.

Because the Almighty to such an extent loved the world that he gave his only kindred son, that anyone holding faithful to him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. N.B. The 'may' and 'may not' are in the subjunctive mood, and not in the indicative mood. In English, it is possible to misread these words in the indicative, meaning that holding faithful only gives a possibility of everlasting life, instead of the certainty. In the correct reading (subjunctive mood), the words mean that holding faithful enables the outcome of not perishing and receiving everlasting life, and that this outcome is only depending on one's faithfulness. Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win. (First Corinthians 9:24)

I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants; to love Yahweh your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

For this commandment which I command you this day is not too hard for you or too distant. It is not in heaven, that you should say, "Who will go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?" Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, "Who will go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?" But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.

As Messianics, we know better than most that we cannot and should not rely on any elite to tell us what Scripture says, because this is the same as telling us what to believe. As Messianics, we know that key portions of Scripture have been systematically misinterpreted and mistranslated. Even the original text of Scripture has not been entirely immune from deliberate corruption by Church scribes who did not want the Scripture to say what it says.

Not all Christians observe the Sabbath, despite it being prominent among the Ten Commandments. Those who do observe it, often do so for slightly differing reasons. This booklet is not a survey of these reasons, but a defence of the correct reasons for keeping the Sabbath Day holy. The cover image on this booklet shows a representation of the Ten Commandments, with the Fourth Commandment (the Sabbath one) highlighted. The Commandments are numbered in Hebrew because, of course, the Commandments were given in that language.
