SABBATH...

[Capbook]

Is the Lord's Sabbath in the OT still for God's people in the NT?

Luk 23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment

[JehovahsWitness]

God still keeps what? Did you have a scripture in mind?

Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them; for I am Yahweh their God; but I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am Yahweh.
Lev. 26:44-45

Did you not see my post on the question of God breaking his covenant ?

Did God BREAK his covenant with his people?

The seventh day Sabbath was sanctified, blessed and God rested on that day, separate from other non-sanctified days.
It is not any other day, God called it the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.

Gen 2:2-3
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
KJV

[JehovahsWitness]

That is for the people of God. Heb 4:9

HEBREWS 4:4-6

in one place he has said of the seventh day as follows: “[And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,” and here again he says: “They will not enter into my rest.” Therefore, since it remains for some to enter into it

1. Does Heb 4:9 say the Mosaic Sabbath law remains or that Gods Sabbath REST remains?
2. God has his own Sabbath REST true. But does he work on his Sabbath? What does Jesus say? read John 5:17
3. God has his own Sabbath REST true. But does is occurr for him every 7 days? When did that rest began and had it finished thousand of years later when the Israelites existed as a people ? read Hebrews 3:18, 19

1. It's not Mosaic law, it is God's finger written law. Heb 4:4,9,10.
2. Already answered.
3. It began in Gen 2:2,3 and till new heaven and new earth Isa 66:23.

[JehovahsWitness]

3. It began in Gen 2:2,3 and till new heaven and new earth Isa 66:23.

1. God's Sabbath "REST" is different from the weekly Sabbath which was part of a law given to humans ( Heb 4:9 compare Mark 2:27 )
2. Jesus affirmed that God continues to work during his REST period ( John 5:17)
3. GOD'S rest began 6,000 years ago and the same rest day will continue until his purpose is achieve. Gods Rest day then is not every 7 days, its ONE "DAY" which is thousands of years long. (Hebrews 3:18, 19)

The Bible is clear, the Sabbath is always on the seventh day.

Ex 20:11
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

No just explaining the meaning of scripture.

1. God's Sabbath "REST" is different from the weekly Sabbath which was part of a law given to humans ( Heb 4:9 compare Mark 2:27 )
2. Jesus affirmed that God continues to work during HIS (God's ) "rest" period ( see John 5:17)
3. GOD'S rest began 6,000 years ago and the same rest day will continue until his purpose is achieve. Gods Rest day then is not every 7 literal days, its ONE "DAY" which is thousands of years long. (Hebrews 3:18, 19)
