than in San Francisco. Therefore, there is three hours difference
in time between these two cities. If the man returns, also by
plane, he finds his day on the return trip is computed as 27
hours. If he leaves San Francisco at 5 a.m., and arrives in New
York exactly twelve hours later, his watch will register 5 p.m., but
all watches and clocks in New York will register 8 p.m. To com-
pute time as others do there, he will have to set his watch up
(ahead) three hours. If he kept traveling around the earth, he
would have to keep changing his watch, until he had added 24
hours to his watch by the time he returned to San Francisco.
But did he really add A DAY to his life? Of course not. The only
change is in the way men COUNT time. This is merely a trick ar-
gument designed to confuse people, and justify them in disobey-
ing the commands of Yahweh. Sin is the transgression of the
LAW...STILL, and the wages of sin is DEATH...STILL.
Days begin and end at sunset, not in a 24 hour period de-
lineated by a clock. See any encyclopedia. History shows that it
was always custom to end and begin days at sunset until a few
hundred years after Messiah. We live on a round earth. A day is
measured by the revolution of the earth on its axis, in relation to
the sun. Since the Sabbath day begins, and ends, at SUNSET,
we observe it, here, when the sun sets, HERE. But the sun sets
three hours earlier in New York than on the Pacific Coast. Hence
Sabbath-keepers in New York begin their Sabbath three hours
earlier than on the west coast. In London, the Sabbath begins
nine hours earlier than on the Pacific Coast, if kept according to
Yah's directions.
The answer to it all is...WE KEEP THE DAY WHEN
THE DAY COMES TO US. Jerusalem is Yahweh's headquarters
for the earth. That is where Yahshua kept the Sabbath, and we
know HE had it right! Authorities believe it was by Yahweh's guid-
ance that men were caused to set the international "date line",
