those who may think that Sunday is the seventh day or Sabbath day, that the Bible designates to be set aside for the worship of God. It is quite surprising how many people actually think this. They generally assume that since Saturday and Sunday are the weekend, that Monday must be the first day of the week because it is their first work day of the week. Today, confusion on this point is compounded by the practice, particularly in Europe for the last thirty years, of arranging calendars with Monday as the first day, and Sunday as the seventh day of the week, This would then lead you to believe that Sunday is indeed the seventh day Sabbath.Also contributing somewhat to the confusion is that the numbering of the Ten Commandments is not uniform. Flavors Josephus, a Jewish Historian of the 1st century, listed the Sabbath Commandment as the fourth*, while the Catholics and Lutherans consider it to be the 3rdCommandment, as numbered in the 5th century by St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 A.D).
