Part 2
The first "little horn" out of Greece, forbid the observance of the law, attempted to force the eating of that which "God" called unclean, took away and burnt the manuscripts all under penalty of death if one did not submit. And, slew swine upon the altar, an abomination of desolation. Which can clearly be seen in the Works of Josephus and in 1 and 2 Maccabees.
The second "little horn" out of Rome, likewise attempted to change the set times and law of "God", under penalty of death. Those attempted changes, have remained with us even until this day. As Paul wrote, the mystery of lawlessness was already at work then.
Again though, it still does nothing to nullify shabat. I acknowledge that they met upon the first day of the week, as well as other days.
Act 2:46 And day by day, continuing stedfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart
To come together and share what "God" had been doing. However:
What were they generally doing upon shabat?
Act 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

While within the Didache that may be the most probable. Notice that from which you quoted speaks of the evening following shabat, which also was the case in Acts 20. What better time to gather together and share. There is nothing wrong with gathering together and meeting upon the first day. But again, it does not nullify the former.
Allegedly. Did you ever notice the within that same portion of the Didache, it speaks of "clean" and "common"? (cf Eze 44:23)
Heb 10:25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.
Exo 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days YHVH made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Lev 23:1 And YHVH spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The set feasts of YHVH, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts. 3 Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work: it is a sabbath unto YHVH in all your dwellings.
Contrast:
Dan 7:25a And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law;

For what reason did you steal? Was it a loaf of bread to feed you and your children because you were starving?
Or was it that you simply coveted something? You can repent of such and make reparation.
Or how about you were in a store, your hands were full and you put something in a pocket or purse with the intent of paying for it? I am sure if you accidently did not pay for an item, that you would return and make it right.
However, the willful and persistent doing of such ...
Mat 5:30 And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell.
You and I both know the end result of what the willful and persistent doing of such shall be.
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins
No problem, I do understand. And yes, the gaps shall be filled. Sometimes, from a most unlikely source.
No problem. My apologies.
The "expected" anti-christ according to the understanding of most it seems, is the one spoken of in Daniel 7:25. From my POV, this has already occurred, just as it occurred under Greece and the little horn spoken of in Daniel 8.
Both attempted to change the set times and laws of "God" under penalty of death.
Indeed.
I know that
@KBCid has a good handle upon the timing.
He would have died upon a Wednesday, by the time Joseph of Arimathaea went to Pilate, gets permission, buys new linen, returns, removes the body from the cross, transports the body, wraps the body, and then places the body in the tomb (cf Matthew 27:57-60, Mark 15:42-46, John 19:38), it would be right near sunset.
The Friday through Sunday scenario can not even be forced to work along with the sign of Jonah. No matter how one attempts to shoehorn it in. Some claim that the sign of Jonah should not be taken into account, that it is a later addition to the text and carries no weight.
The resurrection would have occurred at about the time shabat was at it's end. According to John (cf 20:1), it was still dark when they were approaching the tomb and found it empty.
