Many other languages name the 7th day a name meaning Sabbath. Doesn’t this prove Saturday is the seventh-day?

Answer: This has been helpful in defining the difference between the first day of the week from the seventh day of the week. However, the word “Sabbado” in Spanish means “Sabbath” not “Saturday”. Spain and Mexico are both countries that have also been influenced by the Roman Gregorian calendar and its week cycle. They have simply applied their Hispanic word for Sabbath, to “Saturday”, the seventh-day of the Gregorian calendar.  All believed and assumed that the Roman Gregorian calendar is one and the same as that of Scripture. Nothing can be further from the truth. It is a Catholic tradition that has taken us all unawares.
