Shane Vaughn Teaches - When Does A Day Begin, Sunrise of Sunset? - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACQIpTGqGHk Transcript: (00:00) hello and greetings I'm Shane Von with first Harvest Ministries we have another issue that we want to deal with and try to clear up for a lot of people that are confused about a new teaching that has entered into our camp and uh last few weeks we dealt with the lunacy of the lunar Sabbath I felt like we laid that issue to rest and yet here comes another one that we must deal with today to try to help some of you that may be conf confused by it and it's it's the when does a Sabbath Day begin you know we teach here at first harvest that the (00:39) Sabbath begins at sunset on Friday night and that is generally what most of our congregations and our fellowship teaches but there is a new teaching that is creeping in that says no the Sabbath begins at sunrise on the seventh day of the week separ ating the two and uh it's just complete lunacy it's it's it it it it's it's an idiosyncrasy that must be dealt with and so right now I'm going to ask you to study along with us to see if these and uh it's just complete lunacy it's it's it it it it's it's an idiosyncrasy that must be dealt with and so right now I'm going to ask you to study along with us to see if these things be so let's be like the bereans today and let's get our Bibles and see what the Bible says number one (01:22) we know that a day is a day it's 24 hours uh there's 12 hours in the daylight there's 12 hours at night but when Yahweh created the Earth and in all of his creation he says on the first day the first day the second day the third day he calls these epochs of time he calls them days he said there were seven days and then he tells us that the evening which is the darkness and the daylight the morning the daylight he tells us that the night time and the daytime were the first day the second day Etc so therefore we have a direct uh (02:16) pattern from Yahweh himself that a day consists of nighttime and daytime so when you come to the seventh day of the week the Sabbath day ladies and gentlemen nothing changes the night and the day make up the Sabbath day it begins at sunset on Friday night but even more maybe more important than that is the spiritual parallel and I want to thank my good friend t and the day make up the Sabbath day it begins at sunset on Friday night but even more maybe more important than that is the spiritual parallel and I want to thank my good friend Mr Paul sides he uh did a great article on it that I felt like was wonderful and he brought out a spiritual parallel that I think is worth us looking at the parallel you must when (03:00) you're establishing Doctrine you must find rhythms and patterns I tell this to everyone we teach first of all there must be a double witness Old and New Covenant but then you need to find the patterns and The rhythms and also there's another biblical truth Yahweh never changes if you want to see what he's going to do tomorrow just look at what he did yesterday he is so monotonous if you will he is so dependable so you know I think of my in-laws uh they're just as Dependable as the day is long you just know their (03:39) rhythms you know what's going to happen and there's a solidarity in that uh boring to some sure but it is those boring people that we lean on and depend on because we think that their patterns are are but what they are is their solidarity and Yahweh our God is solid he can be dependent on to never change that we lean on and depend on because we think that their patterns are are but what they are is their solidarity and Yahweh our God is solid he can be dependent on to never change he told in the book of Isaiah he said bring all of your teachers and all of your soothsayers and bring all of your prophets together and see if they can tell you what tomorrow holds because what he said was I know what tomorrow (04:21) holds because I know what yesterday held it never changes so when it comes to when does the Sabbath begin we need to look at a rhythm in the word of Yahweh and that Rhythm is a parallel or a spiritual principle known as Darkness to light Darkness to light and we see this all through the word of God we understand that everything starts in darkness and comes to light it is a spiritual principle that is established even in the Sabbath day for example when the world was created everything was created out of what darkness and then (05:10) came the light every day is another prophetic uh affirmation of creation it started in darkness it came to light we see this all through the Holy Bible we see it in nature we see it in the spirit so therefore when we find these rhythms we are creation it started in darkness it came to light we see this all through the Holy Bible we see it in nature we see it in the spirit so therefore when we find these rhythms we are very safe in staying with the rhythms of Yahweh let's look to the word of God Isaiah chapter 9 and verse 2 it says the people who walk in darkness will see a great light those who live in a dark land the light will shine up on them there brothers and sisters is a spiritual principle that those that are (06:00) in darkness will come to light and so therefore when you say the Sabbath day begins at light at Sunset you totally violate that the Sabbath begins in darkness and ends in light it is a spiritual principle Luke uh 1 ver 79 to shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death to guide guide our feet into the way of peace or as the light of the world so there again is the same Rhythm from Darkness to light Matthew 4:16 the people who were sitting in darkness saw a great light and those who were sitting in the land and the shadow (06:50) of death upon them a light beamed oh Hallelujah see the principle The Rhythm continues through the scriptures don't change the rhythms it is in those e land and the shadow (06:50) of death upon them a light beamed oh Hallelujah see the principle The Rhythm continues through the scriptures don't change the rhythms it is in those rhythms that we find the continuity of Doctrine and teaching St John chapter 1 and verse 5 the Rhythm continues the light shines in the darkness and the Darkness did not comprehended 2 Corinthians 4 and6 for Yahweh who said light shall shine out of darkness is the one who has Shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh in the face of yua Now ladies (07:34) and gentlemen when I say Yahweh that is the original name of what you call God when I say yua that's the original name of what we call Jesus in English so don't be confused or alarmed we prefer original now let's go to 1 Peter chap 2 and verse 9 but you are a chosen people a royal priesthood a holy nation a people for yahweh's own possession so that you may proclaim the Excellency of him who has called you out of Darkness Into His Marvelous Light Ephesians 5 and8 for you were formerly in the darkness but now you are light (08:21) you are walking as children of light see again out of Darkness into the light learn this Light Ephesians 5 and8 for you were formerly in the darkness but now you are light (08:21) you are walking as children of light see again out of Darkness into the light learn this beloved don't change the rhythms it is in The rhythms that we find the right message now let's go to John 8 and2 then yua spoke to them saying I am the light of the world he who follows me in other words you've got to follow him out of Darkness will no longer walk in darkness but will have the light of Life Acts chapter 26 and verse 18 to open their eyes so that they may turn from Darkness to light from the Dominion of hassatan which is Satan (09:05) Darkness to the Dominion of Yeshua which is light that they may receive forgiveness of sin and an inheritance among those who have been Sanctified by me in the faith there's the rhythm again ladies and gentlemen you were born in darkness but every single day that rolls around a great spiritual principle is replayed in the fleshly in the nature in the Physical Realm from Darkness to light it is the entire message of the Bible Matthew 10:27 what I tell you in darkness speak in the light and what you heard whispered in your ear Proclaim upon the (09:50) ness to light it is the entire message of the Bible Matthew 10:27 what I tell you in darkness speak in the light and what you heard whispered in your ear Proclaim upon the (09:50) housetops in other words bring this message out of the darkness into the light Matthew 4:22 for nothing is hidden in the dark Darkness except to be revealed in the light nor has anything been secret or kept in the dark that did not come to the light see every single day starts with the darkness it starts there because a spiritual principle is unveiling every day Yahweh is preaching the gospel to the whole world from Darkness to light from Darkness to light see if you mess this up then you're going to mess up the resurrection and oh (10:33) how the Catholic Church would love for you to do that because the Bible says upon the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb of yua while it was still dark Now ladies and gentlemen if a new day if that Sunday did not begin until sun set then the writer would not have called it the first day of the week but yet it was the first day of the week but it was still dark why because that Sunday began when the sunet on the Sabbath day now we know that the life the first day of the week but yet it was the first day of the week but it was still dark why because that Sunday began when the sunet on the Sabbath day now we know that the life of Yeshua was the same way your life is the same way you are be you (11:20) begin in the darkness of your mother's womb and then you come forth 9 months later into the light that's why your eyes are closed when you come out because you're adjusting to the light many of you began your walk with Yahweh in spiritual darkness in religious Darkness but day by day the light is shining the Bible says unto a more perfect day or a more perfect light now I'm only teaching this to show you the false teaching that so easily comes in to this message I fight every day as well as many of of our brethren in our (12:00) movement to protect the house of Israel from these weird uh demon teachings that would like to creep in and get everybody sidetracked from what matters we have the spirit of racism that's come in with Hebrew israelism that has come in to divide this message we have the message of the lunar Sabbath that is coming to divide it now we have the sunset or the sunrise Sabbath all of these things we must guard come in to divide this message we have the message of the lunar Sabbath that is coming to divide it now we have the sunset or the sunrise Sabbath all of these things we must guard ourselves from the ditches get in the middle of the road find the truth of the beautiful coming Kingdom of (12:39) Yahweh quit worrying about what color Jesus was and find out what character he was quit worrying about these things that are causing division among the house of Israel and fall in love with what is bringing us together now these people that are teaching the Sabbath begins at Sunset they're not using spiritual wisdom they are twisting the meaning of a 24hour day called a day and they're trying to use the short version of daytime but you see that would not be correct actually the evening and the morning when you join them together is (13:19) the first day the second day the third day it all begins in the evening remember everything goes from Darkness to light so so instead of saying daytime they're now saying day and they're they're messing up the semantics when they do that every teacher today uh every one of them is trying to unlock some great new mystery it's this simple it begins in the nd they're they're messing up the semantics when they do that every teacher today uh every one of them is trying to unlock some great new mystery it's this simple it begins in the darkness and it comes to the light let me close with this there is a great day coming every preacher has preached about it every Prophet has foretold it and all of the (14:01) Patriarchs have spoken about a great day that's coming called the day of the Lord or the day of Yahweh it is the only day that he claims it is the only day that he is Sanctified and hallowed for a reason it is the coming seventh day the Millennium reign of yua ladies and gentlemen are you not aware that that great day that's coming when the Saints will be rejoicing will be a day the prophet Joel said of great Darkness it will be a time of great Bloodshed and Devastation when our Lord returns he will have his feet will be covered in (14:45) blood because he will be pressing Out The Grapes of his wrath it will be a day when the blood will run to the bridles of the horses it will be a day when his enemies that rise to fight him in that great battle will be destroyed their very skin will come off of their bones it will be a day of dles of the horses it will be a day when his enemies that rise to fight him in that great battle will be destroyed their very skin will come off of their bones it will be a day of great Darkness but it is that darkness that will Usher in the light of the New Kingdom the light of that great and glorious day I hope the message has helped you please visit my website fir Harvest church.
