"The Seventh Day Sabbath, a Perpetual Sign" by Joseph Bates is a religious book that argues for the continued importance of keeping the seventh day as the Sabbath. Bates believes that God created the Sabbath at the beginning of the world and intended it to be a lasting agreement for all people. He disagrees with the Christian practice of observing Sunday, claiming that the original Sabbath is still the day believers should honor. By quoting different parts of the Bible, Bates attempts to prove that the Sabbath commandment is still relevant and that changing the day of worship has hidden its true meaning. He encourages readers to think again about following the Sabbath law as a key part of their faith, presenting his argument as a clarification of misunderstood religious duties.
