The Day Which the Lord Hath Made, and How He Made It: Being a Scripture Demonstration of the Sabbath, and the Sabbath-Day, from the Creation to the End of Time

by Nathaniel West

A clear, scripture‑based case for the Christian Sabbath.

This book argues that the first day of the week, not the ancient seventh, is God’s chosen day of rest and worship.

In thoughtful, accessible prose, it lays out a premise for why the gospel era requires a different Sabbath and how that day should be observed. It blends scriptural interpretation with practical questions about work, rest, and sacred time, aiming to guide readers toward a more focused, God-centered rhythm. Explains why the traditional Jewish Sabbath ends with Christ’s death and why the first day of the week becomes the Lord’s Day. Offers a framework for Sabbath sanctification, including rest, worship, and private devotion. Addresses common questions about permissible and forbidden activities on Sundays, with emphasis on necessity and reverence for God’s day. Provides practical reflections on how to balance daily responsibilities with a consecrated day of rest and worship. Ideal for readers seeking a concise, scripturally anchored perspective on how to honor the Sabbath in the gospel era.
