On the seventh day of creation, God rested from all the work of the previous six days of creation. Days are counted from sunset on one day until sunset on the next day. So the seventh day of creation corresponds to sunset on Friday evening to sunset on Saturday evening Sabbath day of rest, called Shabbat in Hebrew, begins on Friday evening and ends on Saturday evening.
Significance of the seventh day:
Life of Adam and Eva:
"When they had been mourning four days, (then) Michael the archangel appeared and said to Seth: 'Man of God, mourn not for thy dead more than six days, for on the seventh day is the sign of the resurrection and the rest of the age to come; on the seventh day the Lord rested from all His works."
Second Book of Enoch:
Chapter 31.
"ADAM has life on earth, and I created a garden in Eden in the east, that he should observe the testament and keep the command. I made the heavens open to him, that he should see the angels singing the song of victory, and the gloomless light. And he was continuously in paradise, and the devil understood that I wanted to create another world, because Adam was lord on earth, to rule and control it.

The devil (Asmodeus) is the evil spirit of the lower places, as a fugitive he made Sotona from the heavens as his name was Sataniel, thus he became different from the angels, but his nature did not change his intelligence as far as his understanding of righteous and sinful things. And he understood his condemnation and the sin which he had sinned before, therefore he conceived thought against Adam, in such form he entered and seduced Eva (Eve), but did not touch Adam.
But I cursed ignorance, but what I had blessed previously, those I did not curse, I cursed not man, nor the earth, nor other creatures, but man's evil fruit, and his works. '
Chapter 32.
'I SAID (Yehowah) to him: 'Earth thou art, and into the earth whence I took thee thou shalt go, and I will not ruin thee, but send thee whence I took thee. Then I can again take thee at My second coming! And I blessed all my creatures visible and invisible. And Adam was five and half hours in paradise.

And I blessed the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, on which he rested from all his works."
The Ancient Word Series: The Gospel of Peace:
"Be not, therefore, already impatient after the third day, like the prodigal son, but wait patiently for the seventh day which is sanctified by God, The Eternal Almighty One, and then go with humble and obedient heart before the face of your Heavenly Father, Yehowah, that he may forgive you your sins and all your past debts. I tell you truly, your Heavenly Father, Yehowah loves you without end, for he also allows you to pay in seven days the debts of seven years. Those that owe the sins and diseases of seven years, but pay honestly and persevere till the seventh day, to them shall our Heavenly Father, Yehowah forgive the debts of all these seven years.
"If we sin for seven times seven years?" Asked a sick man who suffered horribly. "Even in that case the Heavenly Father, Yehowah forgives you all your debts in seven times seven days."
"If we sin for seven times seven years?" Asked a sick man who suffered horribly. "Even in that case the Heavenly Father, Yehowah forgives you all your debts in seven times seven days."
"And Christ Yeshu departed, saying: "I will come again to all who persist in prayer and fasting on the seventh day. Peace be with you."
"And forget not that every seventh day is holy and consecrated to God, The Eternal Almighty One. On six days feed your body with the gifts of the Earthly Mother (Wisdom), but on the seventh day sanctify your body for your Heavenly Father, Yehowah. On the seventh day eat not any earthly food, but live only on the words of God, The Eternal Almighty One!, and be all the day with the angels of the Lord in the kingdom of the Heavenly Father, Yehowah. And on the seventh day let the angels of God, The Eternal Almighty One! build the kingdom of the heavens in your body, as you labor for six days in the kingdom of the Earthly Mother (Wisdom). And let not food trouble the work of the angels in your body throughout the seventh day. And God will give you long life upon earth, that you may have life everlasting in the kingdom of the heavens."
