Not according to Scripture. Sunday could be the first or eight day of the week, never last.

Does the Bible tell us which day is the last day of the week?
Genesis 1, 2 and 3 ... IF YOU BELIEVE THE CREATION IS GOD'S.Does the Bible tell us which day is the last day of the week?
Wasn't it Paul who showed us how to use the parallels, by using Sarah and Hagar as the two covenants?
Wow! Are you way... off... base!
The Colossians 2 Scripture IS WRITTEN in the Greek texts which the KJV translators used. That would be the Majority Texts, or Textus Receptus text which means the Received Text, and makes up the majority of ancient Greek New Testament manuscripts (+2000).

Re: <<In writing to Jews, the author of Hebrews would not consider it necessary to prove to them that Sabbathkeeping “remaineth.”>>in
writing to Jews, the author of Hebrews would not consider it necessary to prove to them
that Sabbathkeeping “remaineth.” If the conclusion of the extended argument beginning
with ch. 3:7 is that Sabbathkeeping remains for the people of God, it would seem that the
writer of Hebrews is guilty of a non sequitur, for the conclusion does not follow logically
from the argument. There would have been no point in so labored an effort to persuade
the Jews to do what they were already doing—observing the seventh-day Sabbath.
Furthermore, in apostolic times the seventh-day Sabbath was observed by all Christians,
Jew and Gentile alike, and any argument to prove the validity of the Sabbath in those
early Christian times would have been pointless. Furthermore, it may be observed that the
section of the book of Hebrews consisting of chs. 3 and 4 opens with an invitation to
“consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus” (ch. 3:1), and
closes with an earnest plea to “come boldly” before Him in order to “obtain mercy, and
find grace to help in time of need” (ch. 4:16). What relationship a protracted argument
designed to prove that Sabbath observance remains as an obligation to the Christian
church might have to the declared theme of chs. 3 and 4—the ministry of Christ as our
great High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary—is obscure indeed.
There are parallels, and there are types and antitypes. There is nothing new under the sun. But many do tend to get carried away, taking passages into extremes, calling it 'spiritual', but in effect devaluing the texts themselves until their real meaning is lost.Wasn't it Paul who showed us how to use the parallels, by using Sarah and Hagar as the two covenants?
The same yesterday, today, and tomorrow..
The entire Bible is a parallel of parallels.
I call it history repeating itself, only the names and places have been changed, but the lesson is the same.
The truth of the rise and fall of nations and kingdoms, and individuals and families.. good and bad, are all recorded throughout the ages.
This is how I see the Bible:
Genesis: The entire onion from outer layer to the core.
Exodus: A layer is pealed, same onion with more detail.
Each consectutive book is another layer with more detail of the original book.
When you reach the book of Revelation, you are full circle with the book of Genesis.
And thus a new heaven and a new earth begins again... world without end.. forever and ever Amen.
The Gospels is a new beginning.. But in order to understand where we are, history is our guide to show us where we have been, where we are, and where we are going.
The circle of Life is encapsulated in the Bible.
There will always be parallels because that's how God made everything.
With seed within itself.. the Bible is a seed, and everything written in it is a seed, and it grows from 5 books to 66 books, and if we didn't cap it, it would still be being added to.
But nothing more was needed to add to it, because everything we ever needed to learn in kingergarten is written in that book.
And no matter how they try, they can't destroy the truth, whether by book burnings, or censorship, or war..
Truth is Truth.
You can always try to hide it, cover it up, rip out pages you don't like,
but that doesn't change the truth.
Hard to explain it.
To me, everything is a parallel of past, present and future.

And God said Let there be Light... I AM the Light of the world.
And had no need of the sun, for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamb is the Light thereof. In the beginning..God said.
Revelation... And I saw a new heaven and a new earth... Genesis... In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
World without end.
I also believe a lot of people only like to eat the icing on the cake.There are parallels, and there are types and antitypes. There is nothing new under the sun. But many do tend to get carried away, taking passages into extremes, calling it 'spiritual', but in effect devaluing the texts themselves until their real meaning is lost.
Man, man cannot find rest in a day or in anything for that matter created like himself despite man fell in sin but nothing else did. Man finds rest only in God's Eternal Purpose for having made the Sabbath a blessing, a completion, a holy thing, and a "keeping of rest-day, for the People of God", and that is GOD Giving them REST BY THE SON IN THESE LAST DAYS ... like never before, forever.The seventh day was created seperate from the other days to rest in.
Using any scripture whatsoever as defense for rejecting a Commandment of God, particularly when those scriptures are misused, misapplied, misunderstood, and in some cases deliberately so, is belittling yourselves. Don't blame those who point out your errors.Like Colossians 2 shows, not to judge any man according to holy days or the sabbaths. Acts 2:46 is just more proof of that.
You can keep to the Jew's sabbath day if you want; that is still not against Christian doctrine. But trying to belittle other believers in Christ for not... keeping the Jew's sabbath IS... against Christian doctrine per Colossians 2.
SKEWED as a dogs legs thinking. No, dishonorably facing the truth of Scripture.-- From vs. 1, 6 it is clear that what remains for the people of God in NT times is a
katapausis; in v. 9 it is said that a sabbatismos remains. To declare that what remains for
“the people of God” is the weekly Sabbath, is to declare that what Joshua failed to lead
Israel into was the weekly Sabbath.
Whether I'm called a Christian, a Hebrew Christian, or a Messianic believer,What exactly is a Christian?
Who coined the name?
Wasn't it King Agrippa?
And who was Paul talking about to King Agrippa?
Was he talking about the twelve tribes of Israel, was he talking about the Gentiles?
Who is a Christian?
Was Paul a Jew?
