Keeping track of the Sabbath

Some people have argued that, by now, it doesn't
matter on what day of the week we choose to rest
because so much time has gone by since the day
of the creation that it is impossible to keep track
what day it is. Surely we must have lost track by
now. After all, so many disruptive events have
happened, such as the Great Flood, wars, exile
to Babylon, the expulsion of the Jews from
Jerusalem, the destruction of the temple (several
times). How do we know if we haven't lost track
of the seven-day cycle?
Well, when God was providing manna for the
israelites in the wilderness, the manna would fall
for six days, but on the Seventh day there was
no manna. This weekly cycle continued in the
dessert for forty years. If there had been some
mix-up with the days, the Jews would have noticed
it then.
Later on as the Israelites suffered other
calamities, they were able to keep the right
count on the days of the week. If they hadn't,
then the Lord would have settle matters through
His prohets.
When Jesus came to earth, he made no mention
of any time-keeping errors.
In short, there is no record at all of the Jewish people
ever losing track of the seven-day cycle.
We can be confident that we are still error-free on
that front.

God bless you,
