Goodness, Dr Walter, what is this: "From the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ this was the last day of the week, and from the resurrection of Christ it was changed to the first day of the week and called the Lord's Day" ?!
When Spurgeon interprets the fourth commandment he NEVER says it is the seventh day "OF THE WEEK." However, since the Sabbath command must have some kind of application to our calendar, Spurgeon acknowledges the Jewish application to the seventh day of the WEEK as the application under the Old Covenant. However, under the New Covenant it also must have some kind of application to our calendar and so Spurgeon believed the resurrection day of Christ was the first day of the week and therefore applied it appropriately.
BTW I also acknowledge the Jewish application is the Seventh day "OF THE WEEK" but with Spurgeon deny that the Fourth Commandment demands the seventh day of the week but allows for that application just as it does not demand the first day of the week but allows for that application.
