For all eternity - "From Sabbath to Sabbath shall all mankind come before God to Worship"

[PsychoeDial]

Is 66:23 "From new moon to new moon AND FROM Sabbath to Sabbath shall all MANKIND come before Me to worship"





Which would be total nonsense as "from 1:00pm to 4:00pm AND FROM 2:00pm to 3:00pm" -- by carefully glossing over the detail "from new moon to new moon AND FROM Sabbath to Sabbath" as clearly identifying TWO cycles - not one constant ... you get to the never-seen-in-the-Bible idea that "REMAIN" is to be wrenched into "from new moon to new moon AND FROM Sabbath to Sabbath shall all mankind COME BEFORE Me to worship". -- ( as if the Bible ever used such a back flip.)

Even your own fellow pro-sunday scholars admit to this being "two cycles" and not "one idea of -- REMAIN"






Of course they have to admit that this is "two cycles" and not "one idea of REMAIN all the time before the LORD" -- because the Bible already uses that form.

...

1. It shows that OT authors and readers had the concept of 7th day Sabbath applicable to "all mankind" in Is 66:23.
2. Reading the text we have admit that this Sabbath observance will be binding for all mankind for all of eternity even after the cross.
3. Is 56 - (same book, same author) is affirming gentiles who keep the Sabbath - as honoring God.
4. It is only when the second coming happens and the New Earth and New Heavens are established in Rev 21 that all the wicked have perished and so "All mankind" will be worshiping God, all will be Christians, all will be keeping the Sabbath not just the "Remnant" or "Israel" -- the "FEW" of Matt 7 keeping it on earth as Christians are by far the minority in this world. And of course at the second coming the man-denominations of Christianity become one united group.
5. And of course while the "new moon" is a physical "event" that takes place on a cycle - God's Holy "Sabbath" is a "practice" a "convention" and "observance" not a physical cycle in the heavens - so to worship "from Sabbath to Sabbath" would require that "convention" to still exist.

This is true no matter if one is pro-Sunday or not.

I think all sides can see this point.

Hey, Bob? If you happen on Apologists who are rude, insulting, and mocking when they address your sincere query about scripture, what does that tell you?

Meanwhile, I'd suggest you look to Hebrews 4:9. And though Mark 2:28 is often cited to say the Sabbath no longer applies, that's not true if one reads the context of Mark 2 itself.
Mark 2:23 One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” 25 And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: 26 how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?” 27 And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”

Jesus did not abolish the Sabbath. If we recall what the Sabbath was in the OT, it would be impossible for Jesus-God to abolish that which he decreed holy in Exodus 20:8.
Jesus observed the Sabbath , sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, as did the Apostles after Jesus returned to Heaven.
And really Bob, do we think God is going to condemn us if we observe that day of rest when we appear before him at the great Bema seat? God knows your heart right now and he knew you before the womb. In my view you don't need consensus to obey what God commanded in scriptures and Jesus reiterated even to his Disciples for after he was gone and about keeping the Sabbath even then.

God Bless.

Are you advocating mandatory Sabbath keeping here or are you just giving a high five to a fellow Sabbath keeper?

 

[BobRyan]

Or are you simply arguing for "attention to details" -- even when the anti-Ten-Comm posts don't approve of those details?

 

[Meowzltov]

Still waiting for your reply.



you have to actually address what I wrote --Mar 12, 2016 #36 , not go off on a tangent. Go back and read my post VERY CAREFULLY and try again.

Your posts have not yet replied to this, so here it is again.
The verse refers to after the resurrection, in the world to come (which some call heaven). In that world, there will be no more working by the sweat of our brow to feed and house ourselves. Every day will be a day of rest, and we will all worship the Lord. This is not possible in the hear and now.

I honestly don't know how my words could be inferred as a mandate.
What I was doing is supporting a fellow Christians position on the Sabbath and according to scriptures.
I hope that helps.

Apparently you aren't paying attention here then because the SDA folks here MANDATE keeping the Sabbath, and others here MANDATE it on the level of being "in sin" by not keeping a Saturday Sabbath Day (of sorts). Those who are here arguing against them have no problem with people who wish to keep the Sabbath, as long as they don't consider those who do not wish to keep the Sabbath as a lesser Christian (sinful, even unsaved) because of their unwillingness to keep it.
Simply speaking if you defend people here promoting the Sabbath then you are defending mandatory Sabbath Day keeping on ALL Christians because their arguments are based on exactly that.

Sure. And thank you for the link.
I'm busy at work at the moment so I will briefly state in paraphrases of scripture rather than pasting the actual verses. Presuming of course most here know the scripture already.

While it can be argued it would be a tragedy that a Christian thinks the moral directives of the Decalogue no longer apply to them, it would be equally tragic in my view that one would need that in order to not violate the tenets described in the Decalogue.
In the New Testament a man asked Jesus, master, what commands must we obey. Again, I am paraphrasing the actual textual words. Jesus responded to the man and said, love your neighbor as yourself, and love the Lord God with all your heart and mind,upon those two commands hang all the laws of the prophets.
And often Christians will cite that scripture as proof the Decalogue no longer applies. But that isn't what that scripture is telling the Christian.
That scripture is synopsizing the spirit, the theme, contained within and behind the 10 commandments. Because all the, thou shalt not's are that which commands respect for one's neighbor.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not murder, etc....

And Jesus saying in response to that aforementioned man, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart is the reiteration of the first command, the second commandment and the Sabbath.
Remember, the Lord tells us man was made for the Sabbath the Sabbath was not made for man.

Jesus kept the Sabbath when he traveled to Antioch in Pisidia. The Sabbath day was kept by the Apostles after Christ's resurrection. The traditional Sabbath day. No mention in scripture of Sunday as Sabbath.
When Jesus did not revoke the Sabbath that was made by God for man how can man now argue the Sabbath no longer applies?


And my observations isn't to say we should keep the Sabbath as the ancient Jews did. Rather the Sabbath is a day of rest and Jesus is our Sabbath rest. Honoring him and taking a day to melt into the Spirit of God and his word and his peace so that we can recharge for the coming week. And decompress from the past week brings rejuvenation and peace to the body and spirit of those who are in Christ.
We are the house of the Holy Spirit. The Shabbath, Sabbatum, Sabbath=day of rest, is not abolished. It was made for us by God.

Why do some here seem to think some are promoting immorality? This seems to come only from the pro-law folks from what I read in the forum.

That scripture is synopsizing the spirit, the theme, contained within and behind the 10 commandments. Because all the, thou shalt not's are that which commands respect for one's neighbor.

So a particular passage is quoted often. Does that make it invalid? The Gospels say the law is over. And the dreaded Paul says the law is over. Do you accept any of the mentioned sources as legitimate scripture?

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not murder, etc....

And Jesus saying in response to that aforementioned man, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart is the reiteration of the first command, the second commandment and the Sabbath.

Nothing here except misapplied passages.

Jesus kept the Sabbath when he traveled to Antioch in Pisidia. The Sabbath day was kept by the Apostles after Christ's resurrection. The traditional Sabbath day. No mention in scripture of Sunday as Sabbath.

Sure Jesus kept the Sabbath, He was a Jew obligated to the law or that covenant made with Israel at Mt Sinai. No gentiles ever were. And an educated and noted Jew says even the believing Jew isn't obligated to it. Of course unbelieving Jews are obligated to it.

When Jesus did not revoke the Sabbath that was made by God for man how can man now argue the Sabbath no longer applies?

Rather simple, but you chose to not believe. Therefore its a waste of time to present it.

And my observations isn't to say we should keep the Sabbath as the ancient Jews did. Rather the Sabbath is a day of rest and Jesus is our Sabbath rest. Honoring him and taking a day to melt into the Spirit of God and his word and his peace so that we can recharge for the coming week.

We are the house of the Holy Spirit. The Shabbath, Sabbatum, Sabbath=day of rest, is not abolished. It was made for us by God.

Then you freely admit we're not obligated to the law.

I think we both agree that God's law serves a purpose according to the New Covenant "I will write MY LAW on their heart and mind" Heb 8:6-10, Jer 31:31-33... and it is not -- pretty much "useless".

I think we would agree that we are supposed to pay attention to the Word of God - and not ignore it as being superfluous to our own individual preference and experience.

In the "Sola Scriptura" model - we actually judge our doctrine, tradition, practice by scripture - and we do not consider scripture to be of little value on that point.

In the New Testament a man asked Jesus, master, what commands must we obey. Again, I am paraphrasing the actual textual words. Jesus responded to the man and said, love your neighbor as yourself, and love the Lord God with all your heart and mind,upon those two commands hang all the laws of the prophets.

You have quoted Lev 19:18 and Deut 6:5 as the two commandments of the OT to be upheld.

Interesting that we find this in Matt 19.
16 And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” 17 And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18 Then he *said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; 19 Honor your father and mother; and You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man *said to Him, “All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 22 But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.


Maybe you were thinking of Matt 22.

And often Christians will cite that scripture as proof the Decalogue no longer applies. But that isn't what that scripture is telling the Christian.
That scripture is synopsizing the spirit, the theme, contained within and behind the 10 commandments.

That is true - still it is at least "tempting" for many to suppose this is a way to delete some of the Law of god.

Because all the, thou shalt not's are that which commands respect for one's neighbor.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not murder, etc....

And Jesus saying in response to that aforementioned man, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart is the reiteration of the first command, the second commandment and the Sabbath.
Remember, the Lord tells us man was made for the Sabbath the Sabbath was not made for man.

Jesus kept the Sabbath when he traveled to Antioch in Pisidia.

Jesus kept the Sabbath in Antioch?? (Paul -- right?)

The Sabbath day was kept by the Apostles after Christ's resurrection. The traditional Sabbath day. No mention in scripture of Sunday as Sabbath.

Good point - every reference to "Sabbath" EVEN in the NT is the 7th day of the week.

When Jesus did not revoke the Sabbath that was made by God for man how can man now argue the Sabbath no longer applies?

Indeed. Even pro-sunday teachers like D.L. Moody argued for the continuation of the Sabbath Commandment (albeit he would like to edit it to point to week-day-1 after the cross).

And my observations isn't to say we should keep the Sabbath as the ancient Jews did. Rather the Sabbath is a day of rest and Jesus is our Sabbath rest. Honoring him and taking a day to melt into the Spirit of God and his word and his peace so that we can recharge for the coming week.

We are the house of the Holy Spirit. The Shabbath, Sabbatum, Sabbath=day of rest, is not abolished. It was made for us by God.

Moses and Elijah stand "with Christ" -- pre-cross in Matt 17, on the mount of transfiguration.

Their "Sabbath keeping" was in the true spirit of the Law "written on the heart".

Heb 4:2 says "The Gospel was preached to US - JUST as it was to them also"
Gal 1:6-9 -- there is only ONE Gospel
Gal 3:7 ---- that Gospel was "preached to Abraham".

The One Gospel - the one way of salvation - saved by grace through faith -- in both OT and NT.

And on the Sabbath "From Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL mankind come before Me to Worship" Is 66:23 is an OT concept.

Gal 4 is about pagan holy days and one is to be condemned for observing even one of them.

Romans 14 is about the Bible-approved annual holy says of Lev 23 - and no one is "allowed" to condemn others for keeping them.

In your response you attempt to condemn the Word of God in the TEN Commandments as a pagan document/law by applying Paul's condemnation of paganism to the Word of God.

have you read Mark 7:6-13 to see just how that works out???



Simple - easy questions.

1. Does Romans 14 allow anyone to condemn someone for their observance of Bible holy days?

ANSWER: Rom 14
4 Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 One person regards one day above another, another regards every day. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, ..
10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 11 For it is written,
“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall give praise to God.”
12 So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God.
13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this—not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother’s way. .. 22 The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

2. Does Galatians 4 ALLOW even ONE observance of pagan holy days?

ANSWER: Gal 4
3 So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world....
8 However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again? 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.

Paul's argument to the gentile church of Galatia -- to the former pagans - is that they NOT return again to their pagan ways - the ways of those who were not at all serving God.

By Contrast in Romans 3 - the JEWS have the actual BIBLE "The oracles of God" Rom 3:1 and as Christ said in John 4 "YOU worship what you do not know - WE worship what we know - for SALVATION is of the JEWS".

Neither Christ nor Paul - refer to the Word of God as "paganism".

====================

So then the answer to those TWO very simple question makes it clear that we cannot use the Gal 4 condemnation of "returning again" to paganism - as if the BIBLE were "paganism" -- Romans 14 does not allow such condemnation of Bible holy days.

This is irrefutable.

Sorry I am just getting back to you...must have missed your reply.

The point, my point...was not to make an issue of the meaning of Gal 4, but rather to offer the passage as confirmation of my comment about your OP. But if you are simply detoured by the details of both, going off on two tangents instead of just the one...then I retract. Forget I said it - not because I was incorrect, but because you have missed the connection. So then...allow me to restate my comment on your OP:

"Sabbath to Sabbath." ... Sabbath means "rest." ... Rest, in this context, refers to "eternal" rest. So then...we are to understand the passage to say, "From (in between) eternity past, to eternity future...shall all mankind come before me to worship"...i.e., during all of time and creation.

It is a very, very simple statement, where God reveals His master plan for mankind.

There are two cycles in Is 66:23 - monthly and weekly.

"from New Moon to New Moon AND FROM Sabbath to Sabbath".

To say that this means "daily and daily" is to miss the entire point of the text. No Bible text uses these forms for "daily" OT or NT.

Also this is not the first place where the OT uses the form "From A to A" as a cycle for example "from Year to Year" the annual feasts are to be observed - as was noted already on this thread.

That is NOT what I said. I did NOT say "daily."

I SAID...from eternity to eternity. If you keep looking at it from a worldly (fleshly) perspective...you will not understand it from a heavenly perspective. You are wallowing in the mire of worldly terms.

And I did not go on to address the second cycle...because you have not yet grasped the first - you are not ready.

Instead of weekly cycle - your text is "in between" two eternities (a bit of a stretch in the extreme) .

But the text speaks only of two distinct cycles -- weekly... and monthly.

Which is how both Isaiah and his readers would have accepted it since they already had that same language for observances.

1. Exodus 13:10
   Therefore, you shall keep this ordinance at its appointed time from year to year.
2. Judges 21:19

Exegesis is not "fleshly" -- "earthly" simply because one does not find it helpful while in pursuit of a given agenda.

Indeed...it is a stretch for the man of flesh and of the world to consider things from a heavenly perspective. Nonetheless, it is the correct perspective, and what is manifest in the world is a mere parable.

If you are not ready to consider it...then there is no profit in doings so: The flesh profits nothing.
