Another significant teaching of Willison’s is that the Sabbath need not be on the seventh day of the week. The word Sabbath means “rest”; it means “to cease from work.” A sabbath day can be made of the first day of the week as well as the seventh day, particularly if the change is made at God’s command. Willison teaches that the purpose of the Sabbath is, first of all, the manifestation of God’s glory, but the commandment is also given out of compassion for fallen humanity.
