The Fourth Commandment is: "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it set apart. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But in the seventh day is the sabbath of YHWH thy Elohim: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day: wherefore YHWH blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it." In Biblical times, the Hebrew letters were also used for numbers. Dalet was the fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. In ancient Hebrew the word meant a door. It symbolized a door or path of life.
The word picture for Sabbath or rest is to return to the covenant or return to the stake, i.e. the cross. We return to the covenant when we destroy the previous house. This means to leave nothing in the other kingdom that might tempt us to return. We are to "burn all our bridges" so there is nothing to return to. After we "burn the bridges," we have to go forward because we can't go back. The Fourth Commandment instructs us to continually walk in Elohim's covenant which includes remembering the Sabbath. The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week, not the first. We return to the covenant as we keep the Sabbath. If you have been raised in either a Catholic or Protestant denomination, this will require a change of mindset. Sun-Day is not the day of the covenant. The Sabbath is. If we are going to follow YHWH and His son Yeshua, we need to follow Him and keep the Sabbath. Isn't it logical that if Yeshua had a custom or practice of attending worship on the Sabbath that we should do so also? Yeshua was a Sabbath keeper; are you?
We are living in difficult times. We need to follow the Words and commands of YHWH as best we can. Part of that obedience is remembering the Sabbath. Who would dare change the Sabbath to Sun-Day? The answer is really obvious, isn't it?
