Hebrews 10:25 — The Assembling Is Not a Sunday Service

Pulpits use this verse to say that missing church on Sunday is sin. The verse names no day and no building. “Assembling” is episynagoge (G1997), a gathering together. Its only other use is 2 Thessalonians 2:1, “our gathering together unto him” at his coming.

The purpose is in the verse: “exhorting one another,” and the verse before it, “provoke unto love and to good works” (10:24). That is a mutual work, not an audience facing a stage. The appointed gatherings of Yahuah are the Sabbath and the feasts, each called a holy convocation, miqra qodesh (Leviticus 23:2-3). Sunday appears nowhere in Hebrews. “The day approaching” is the Day of Yahuah, the reason to gather, not a calendar slot for it.
