I was raised in Seventh-day Adventist
(SDA) schools all my life. Over time I
became indifferent towards eternal interests because of always hearing the
boast, "We are the last, true church.
We are the remnant." As a
result of this false teaching I did not worry about anything, because when the
Latter Rain will be poured out, we will be made ready for the end. It was implied that a certain amount of sinning
was inevitable because perfection of character is given to us at the Second
Coming of Yahushua.

Yet, I was
still afraid that I would perish if I continued sinning. I found no relief from that fear inside the
SDA church, so I began listening to Protestant radio programs which helped me
partially, but the fear was still there.
In 2001, I attended a home church in Cairo where I learned that all denominations
have fallen including the SDA church. For the first time ever, I clearly understood
that salvation is only possible through accepting the Lamb and following Him in
the narrow path which is outside the churches of today. After studying the matter, it became clear
that Yahuwah’s command is to come out of all false beliefs, taught by the
organized churches and not participate in their sins.

When I first learned about the lunar Sabbath, I did not decide for it or against it. I had learned to always study something out with an open mind before deciding one way or another.

After having shared
the unpopular truth with former friends and family, and they rejected it, then
cutting ties with them became a necessity. However, these acquaintances
were real obstacles in the way of knowing the truth, so I thank my heavenly Father
for removing that load. Losing friends and family is
always painful, but the following promise kept me going:

And…Yahushua
answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house,
or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands,
for my sake, and the gospel’s. But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this
time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands,
with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. (Mark 10:29-30)

Since 2001 until
now, our small home church has decided to accept the truth no matter how much
it will cost.

The
true Sabbath was introduced to us in August 2009. My first reaction was not against it or for
it. In the home church we learned that
we should study first then decide whatever was being proposed to us. The last battle will be over the mark of the
beast or the seal of Yahuwah, the Sabbath.
Since I do not want to receive the mark of the beast and transgress
against my Maker, I studied the newly introduced belief like never before. The
more I studied, the more I was convinced from the Biblical weight of evidence
that this was indeed the truth. Some of
the church members and also some from the WLC team have left us and clung to
Saturday. However, that did not matter
because in matters of truth everyone has to stand alone.

Here
are some of the evidences that have established me in accepting the true
Sabbath:

1)
The many incidents in the Bible (Old and New Testaments) where the Sabbath fell
only on 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of the lunar month. These occurrences cannot
be mere chances. Also these unique
occurrences cannot happen on any other calendar today or in the past. 2) The crucifixion date in April 25, A.D 31 and October 22, 1844 prove that the true
Sabbath can be found only on the Bible Calendar not the Gregorian one. 3) I
became more established in this new light after seeing the unscriptural
desperate attacks on the true Sabbath from SDA ministers and members. They
could not prove from the Bible alone that Saturday was the Sabbath, nor could
they ascertain that the weekly cycle has run uninterrupted since creation. They
could not defend their belief in October 22, 1844 and in April 25, 31 A.D.
since these very dates prove that the current Saturday is not the Sabbath of
the fourth commandment. My doubting questions about the new light have been
answered:

1)
Why didn’t Sister White know about this? Sister White told us in her writings that the
Sabbath will be declared more fully in the last days. She never told us that Yahuwah told her that
Saturday was the biblical Sabbath. She
also informed us that it is very wrong to suppose that all of our current
beliefs are without an error.

2)
The weekly cycle? The Bible does not support an uninterrupted weekly cycle
because there is a day called "new moon day" which is not part of the
seven day week.

3)
How come the Jews got confused about the Sabbath? The Jews themselves have
changed their calendar in the 4th century under High Priest Hillel II. The
truth is that the Jews should not be our reference when to it comes to
matters of faith, for they have crucified the Saviour; the Master of the
Sabbath.

I
am very thankful to my heavenly Father and my Saviour for giving me a chance to
know this saving truth. This truth is
the key to victory in the final conflict.
I am also very thankful for the privilege of being able to share this
unique truth with the Arabic speaking people on WLC’s Arabic sister site, inzar.com.
