One of the most controversial issues, is the DAY OF WORSHIP

[liberty of conscience]

It's very clear who this covenant was made with and it's also very clear that it includes the ten commandments.

You keep proving what I stated.

Two things. Not one.

 

[liberty of conscience]

what is arrogant is to tell everyone else that see it your way that they are wrong and you alone have the truth...

Don't be so over-pious. You wouldn't be in your 'Anglicanism' (overrun by Jesuitism these days) if you did not believe it was truth.

Truth is identified by scripture itself.

Psa 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

Psa 119:151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.

 

[mmksparbud]

No it is not and I didn't say it was... what is arrogant is to tell everyone else that see it your way that they are wrong and you alone have the truth...

You are stating your views---we are stating our views----why say that anyone is demanding everyone to do anything? We say why we do as we do and present our scriptures for it, and you present your scriptures for what you believe. We are both asking for information from scripture that points to why we believe as we do. You obviously believe that your way is truth or you would not be doing it. We obviously believe what we do is truth or we would not be doing it. No one can demand that everyone do anything--that is between the individual and God.
All anyone can do is present their side of the question as they see scripture.

Joh_8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

Joh_12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

Joh_12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

What are you trying to say here?

 

[ace of hearts]

The commandment is clear: keep the 7th day set-apart.

New covenant Christians, even though that term does not exist in the Bible, “old” or “new” testament, are not instructed by Jesus or the Apostles to disobey and disregard God’s commands.

Where does anyone in the NT require the keeping of the law (specifically the sabbath)?

 

[ace of hearts]

You mean you need verses where in Jesus is leading the people out of Egypt into the Promised land?

Jos 5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
Jos 5:14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
Jos 5:15 And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

The same Personage who stood before Moses: Exodus 3:5-6;

Exo 3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
Exo 3:6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

It is mentioned in Acts:

Act 7:30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
Act 7:31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,
Act 7:32 Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
Act 7:33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
Act 7:34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

Even the NT says so:

1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

Compare to the OT:

Deu_32:31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

Again:

Neh 9:9 And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;

(Exo 3:7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows

Neh 9:10 And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.
Neh 9:11 And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
Neh 9:12 Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.
Neh 9:13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
Neh 9:14 And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:

Psa 77:16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
Psa 77:17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
Psa 77:18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
Psa 77:19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
Psa 77:20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Exo_14:24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,

Consider that these verses are dualistic, speaking of Joshua the son of Nun (perpetual/eternal) and Jesus the son of God the Father, the Eternal:

Act_7:45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

Heb 4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

For it was truly Jesus who led Joshua and the peoples into the promised land as we have seen in Joshua 5.

Isa_63:9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

The "angel" (office, not meaning nature (ie not Created)) is Jesus Christ, the Highest messenger of the Father's love, and everywhere the Son is, it is as the presence of God the Father (see Gal. 4:14, etc).

The Bible says:

Joh 1:3 All things were made by him (the Word); and without him (the Word) was not any thing made that was made.

Thus, it was Jesus who made the Tables of Stone:

Exo_32:16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.

I see, God inspired Paul to lie. God also inspired John to lie. John said specifically He that sits on the throne is God the Creator. John also identifies Jesus as the Lamb, Who doesn't sit on the throne in Rev 5. It's no small wonder why Christianity is made light of and basically called fools.

 

[ace of hearts]

You did not list any scriptures.

Not required by your question. You asked who told us. You didn't asdk for support of belief.

 

[ace of hearts]

No, I do not---what I need and everyone else--is a passage in the NT that states "we do not need to keep the Sabbath anymore"-- otherwise, it stands as God commanded--that is all I am going to say.

Not so because Christians are under the New Covenant, which isn't like the previous covenant. Therefore you need to point out what in our New Covenant requires keeping the sabbath.

 

[ace of hearts]

It’s unfortunate that you’re laughing and sneering.

No different from what you're doing.

 

[ace of hearts]

That’s exactly right. Only the devil challenges what God has spoken and attempts to diminish & destroy it.

So why are you challenging the statement - " Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:"?

 

[ace of hearts]

Actually it does since it is His church that was at Mt. Sinai. However, I also provided as many other texts, and here is another:

Exo 24:10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

Exo 24:11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

Israel isn't "the Church." Israel isn't even an assembly of believers.

Jesus upon the mountain (Sinai), and a meal with the Elders. (OT)

This is opinion not supported by Scripture, unless you claim Paul was inspired by God to lie in Gal 3:19.

Jesus upon the mountain (Moriah), and meal with the Apostles. (NT)

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and for ever.

What do you think the above quote means?

No. Isaiah 42:21.

So. How does this prove Lord here is Jesus?

Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

How does this prove Jesus, the seed, issued the famous 10?

Sin is the transgression of the Law (1 John 3:4), which means the 10C existed before Mt. Sinai, since there was there a law "added" "because of transgressions". Read Exodus to Deuteronomy and all kinds of laws were "added" to the Ten Commandments, and why? because people were transgressing God's law, and so more law was given in every detail. They did not understand the full broad and depth of the Law of God (10C); Psa. 119:96.

Where does the Scripture say the famous 10 were added to the law? If that were true the sabbath was before Egypt which you can't support with Scripture. The first mention and requirement of and to keep the sabbath came after Egypt in my Bible. If you wish to say at creation with Genesis, I ask you why do you call something evil, God called good?

How can sin only and always be a transgression of the famous 10 (the law) when sin was before the law and the reason the law came? (Rom 5:13, Gal 3:19)

The Ten Commandments did not 'end'. That's blasphemous. That would effectively end God's own character; Exodus 33:12-23, 34:1-9, 20:5-6. Merciful (Mercy) and by no means clearing the guilty (Just).

So Luke 16:16 is blasphemous?

The "seed" was the promise (Gen. 3:15; Gal. 3:16) pointing to Christ Jesus. Thus all the shadows were no longer needed as shadows.

I agree here as Jesus claims to be the sabbath rest of God. The 7th day sabbath is a shadow (the physical) pointing to Jesus (the spiritual). Mat 11:28-30 was spoken to people who kept the 7th day sabbath and didn't have the rest of God.

Galatians ties into Colossians 2, Ephesians 2 and Hebrews 9-10.

The shadow things came to an end, because of the reality of Christ Jesus (the real Lamb). The Law of God, the 10C, are always "light", never shadow; Proverbs 6:23; Isaiah 8:20, etc. They are eternal (Psa. 119:44), permanent (Psa. 111:7), never temporary.

I point you to Jeremiah 31:31-33 as proof what you claim isn't true. I don't deny the famous 10 exist. The testimony of the NT is they're not enforce.

That is a misunderstanding of "law". You are eisegeting the text with what you want it to say.

Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

What "law" was given my Moses? not the 10C, as that was spoken by God Himself from Heaven:

In this sense none of the other laws were given by Moses as the Scripture says Moses wrote what God told him to write and tell the people (Israel). IOW those laws aren't the invention of Moses. NTL Jn 1:17 clearly doesn't attribute the law to Jesus.

Exo 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,

Exodus 20:2-17 (10 Commandments)

Exo_20:22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

The Law of God (10C), was given by Jesus Christ:

Not according to John 1:17, which I regard as Scripture. Do you?

Psa_119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

Psa 119:151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.

Notice, John 1:17, who did "grace" and "truth" come by? Moses or Jesus?

Sorry but the law and grace are clearly contrasted in the mentioned verse. That means they're not the same.

The Ten Commandments begin with Grace:

Exo 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

The 10 Commandments are Truth (Psalms 119:142,151; etc)

The "law" which came by Moses was the hand written laws that Moses was mediator of:

Which is everything in Exodus and Leviticus.

Lev_6:9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.

Lev_6:14 And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.

Lev_14:32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.

Num_6:21 This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.

Jos_23:6 Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;

etc.

None of which is the concoction of Moses.

 

[ace of hearts]

I do not know what you were saying here.

I edited the post to read -

News to me. Would you mind posting some specific passages? The verse you posted doesn't mean Jesus was on the scene at Mount Sinai. When Jesus came the law was over. Gal 3:19. Moses brought the law, not Jesus. Jn 1:17. I didn't God didn't give the law to Israel through Moses.

The last sentence should read I didn't say the law was given by Jesus; the law was given by God the Father thru Moses to Israel. Jn 1:17 confirms this as fact if it's the Scripture inspired by God the Father. Hope that makes it understandable. Have to be more careful. Sorry for the blunder.

 

[ace of hearts]

Hebrews 3-4 (among many others; John 14:15; Exodus 20:6; Isaiah 56:1,8; John 10:16; Isaiah 56:2-7, Acts 4:24, 14:15; Revelation 10:6, 14:6-7, &c). - There's even a whole thread and study on it - Hebrews 3-4 [KJB], the 7th Day the Sabbath of the LORD JEHOVAH - "my rest" "remaineth" to My people.

The words found in Jn 14:15 aren't a reference to the famous 10 as Jn 15:10 aptly proves.

Isa 56 isn't a reference about Christianity.

The one fold in Jn 10:16 isn't Israel. However the "this fold" is.

Don't follow you on the rest of your references.

Hebrews 3-4 is clear.

Hebrews 4:3, "my (God's) rest" and "the works were finished from the foundation of the world", which is a direct reference to Genesis 2:1-3. It even uses the word "finished". God rested the 7th day in Genesis 2:1-3. It is His rest, the 7th day, the sabbath (rest) of the LORD thy God, Exodus 20:8-11.

Hebrews 4:4, "he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works", which "certain place" is Genesis 2:1-3; re-cited in Exodus 20:8-11. The 7th day the sabbath (rest) of the LORD thy God.

Hebrews 4:5, "my (God's) rest)", citing Psalms 95, which is citing Genesis 2:1-3; Exodus 20:8-11, etc. Again, this is the 7th day the sabbath (rest) of God at Creation in Genesis 2:1-3.

Hebrews 4:6, "remaineth", from when? "from the foundation of the world" as per Hebrews 4:3 and thus it is not new, but has been around from the beginning.

Hebrews 4:9, "rest", sabbatismos, literally and truly sabbath keeping in scripture and in all known extant Greek sources, dictionaries, and so on and again "remaineth".

Sorry, but "sabbatismos" is a concept word. It's not speaking of the 7th day sabbath. It doesn't say the sabbath remains.

Hebrews 4:10, "his (God's) rest", which is the 7th day the sabbath (rest) of the LORD thy God from Genesis 2:1-3., "as God did from his (works)", which "works were finished from the foundation of the world" as per Hebrews 4:3.

Why did Jesus offer Himself as the rest of God to people who kept the sabbath?

Hebrews 4:11, "that rest" (ie God's rest), the 7th day the sabbath (rest) of the LORD thy God.

You may of course disagree, as is your prerogative, but that is no evidence of being correct, nor of being defensible from (or foundational upon) scripture itself.

If you read Hebrews 4, you'll find no mention of the subject "rest" as the 7th day sabbath.

 

[Dkh587]

So why are you challenging the statement - " Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:"?

Have you ever posted on here before under a different name? You are trolling very similar to how I’ve some pro-lawlessness people troll before.

 

[Dkh587]

I'm not idle; I do voluntary work. Some people tell me that I'm doing too much.



I'm sure they didn't put it like that - nor command that a person take any old job just for the sake of working.

1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 NIV

Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other.
And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life; you should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

When I did work, I didn't always get regular days off - one week it might be Thursday and Friday, another week, Friday and Saturday. So my day of rest varied. If I got a job in a care home, that would probably be true again.
In the meantime, I have no specific job to rest from.

I don’t think we should take any job for the sake of working - for example, I refuse to even apply for jobs if working on the Sabbath is a requirement.

I understand where you’re coming from, but I hear some excuses. We are commanded to work, not only by God but by the Apostles too. It doesn’t look good for us as Christians when we aren’t working.

It’s one thing if we are disabled to the point where we can’t work at all, but there are plenty of jobs out there that a believer can do, even beginner jobs such as a cashier job, or waiting tables. It’s really not that difficult to get a job, unless we make excuses all day long.

Jesus was a carpenter, Paul was a tent maker, and some of the apostles and disciples were fishermen for a living.

 

[ace of hearts]

That is not in contention in the least. Not one bit.

There is not argument that there is an 'old' and a 'new' covenant. In fact, I said there was, from scripture, on numerous occasions.

The disagreement is in the definition of 'old covenant' and 'new covenant'.

You assert that the 10 Commandments are the 'old covenant', but there is not a single scripture to state this, explicitly or implicitly. It is simply eisegeted.

Oh -
Deut 4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

What covenant did God make with Israel that He made with their fathers in the day that He took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which His covenant they brake?

I have shown, numerous times, from scripture, that the Ten Commandments are the eternal Covenant that existed from eternity. They are called God's "my covenant", or "His covenant". This is not the 'old covenant'.

And I showed you the law (famous 10) were added because of sin. That means sin was first and not created by the law. (Rom 5:13) One of the purposes of the law is to punish evil doers legally. No law - no violation. No violation - no punishment.

In Exodus 19 there are two covenants mentioned.

What covenant did Israel agree to? How is agreement a different covenant?

[1] God's (10C, "my covenant"), Exodus 19:5, which are all perfect (Psalms 19:7) promises (Ephesians 6:2) and would never be altered or done away with (Psalms 89:34, 111:7-8.).

[2] the 'old' covenant, "All that the LORD hath spoken we will do.", with a Mediator Moses, based upon the "If", "then" condition set by God, Exodus 19:8. This is mentioned directly in Hebrews 8:6-9, "fault", "promises", "them".

The problem is, your eisegetical methods wherein everytime you read "covenant" surrounding Mt Sinai, you automatically substitute mentally (10C). That is the error and disagreement.

On the contrary Moses said that was the covenant in Deut 4:13.

And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 8:8-13, 10:16, etc, state that God would write His law ("my law"; in context is the Ten Commandments, not only in Jeremiah, but all through scripture) upon the hearts.

Both state the "my law" isn't the covenant law given to Israel in the desert. Read Jer 31:32. Sorry.

2 Cor 3:3 states that it is the same law, same author, differing ministration, differing location, differing mediator.

Verse 3 says - "not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart." Verse 7 says - "But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones."

We're the epistle of Jesus Christ, not the law - a ministration of death. Jesus is life and we're in Him.

Jn 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

IOW there's no life in the law (famous 10) which are the ministration of death.

Jn 3:15-16: 5:40; 6:40; 10:10; 20:31

The simple truth is that the 'old covenant' is not and cannot be the 10C (unless scripture be broken and it cannot be; John 10:35) as per Romans 3:31; Jeremiah 31:33, etc. Go ahead and substitute 'old covenant' with the word "the law" and "my law" there. You will see scripture broken.

Sorry but Deuteronomy and Jeremiah both testify against you.

Your present apriori is the issue. Not that there is an 'old covenant' and a 'new/everlasting/eternal covenant'.

Not so. I presented Scripture proving my point which you're free to reject.

 

[Dkh587]

The command given to the Israelites.
What did Jesus say?

Jesus taught obedience to God’s commandments.

Not only did he teach obedience, but he lived a life of obedience to God’s commandments as an example for us to follow.

 

[ace of hearts]

Have you ever posted on here before under a different name? You are trolling very similar to how I’ve some pro-lawlessness people troll before.

Why are you asking such a question?. Isn't it the need to silence the truth? Why are you calling me a troll? Isn't it because you can't prove me wrong?

I'd like to ask if it isn't really you who's doing the trolling of Christians trying to real them into the law against grace? There's no grace in the law. The law only brings condemnation and death.

Just maybe you're a mod on a fishing expedition.

 

[ace of hearts]

But so is the new covenant. The new covenant is with Israel, not Christians. Jeremiah 31:31-33

If you disregard the Sabbath/covenant because it was “given to Israel”, then you are cancelling your own argument because the new covenant is given to Israel, not Gentiles/Christians.

Aren't you really saying a person must become a Jew in order to possess eternal life?

 

[ace of hearts]

Adam wasn't a Jew.

Mark 2:27 KJB - And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

Mark 2:27 GNT TR - και ελεγεν αυτοις το σαββατον δια τον ανθρωπον εγενετο ουχ ο ανθρωπος δια το σαββατον

Literally, '... the sabbath [of the LORD [JEHOVAH], the 7th day, context] was made/created for the man ...'

The only "the [definite article] man" [Hebrew: 'ha adam'] [singular] that was around when things were "made" [thus at Genesis], is "Adam" [and all humanity in him]. This agrees with, Genesis 2:7, which speaks of "the Adam":

Genesis 2:7 KJB - And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Genesis 2:7 HOT - וייצר יהוה אלהים את־האדם עפר מן־האדמה ויפח באפיו נשׁמת חיים ויהי האדם לנפשׁ חיה׃

Genesis 2:7 HOT Translit. - waYiytzer y'hwäh élohiym et-häädäm äfär min-häádämäh waYiPach B'aPäyw nish'mat chaYiym way'hiy häädäm l'nefesh chaYäh

Genesis 2:7 LXX* (so-called) - καὶ ἔπλασεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον χοῦν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐνεφύσησεν εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ πνοὴν ζωῆς, καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰς ψυχὴν ζῶσαν.

Jesus was a Jew, and is the second/last Adam:

1Co_15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

The "sabbath" (Genesis 2:1-3; Exodus 20:8-11; Hebrews 4:3, etc was "made" (at Creation, not Mt Sinai) for (the reason or purpose) "the" (definite article, singluar) "man", who is "Adam" and thus all mankind in Him, first or second.

Moses was not a Jew. God was the God of the "Hebrews" (Exodus 5:3).

Moses was Hebrew [Exodus 2:7,11 KJB], so also the midwives [Exodus 1:15 KJB], as well as others [Exodus 1:16,19; Deuteronomy 15:12 KJB].

Abraham was also Hebrew [Genesis 14:13 KJB], as was Joseph [Genesis 39:14 KJB]. The word Hebrew, comes from "Eber" [Genesis 10:21,24,25, 11:14-17; Numbers 24:24; 1 Chronicles 1:18-19,25 KJB], who is of the line of "Shem" [Genesis 10:21 KJB], of "Noah", etc., etc. unto "Adam".

The seventh day the sabbath of the LORD thy God is for all flesh of mankind:

Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

As stated, Jesus Christ is the real Israel (and the real David, the real Solomon, the real Melchizedek; the real Joseph, the real Daniel, etc); Matthew 2:13-15; Hosea 11:1; Jeremiah 31:34 ("house"); Hebrews 3:6 ("house"); John 16:33; Revelation 3:21 (overcomer); Genesis 32:28 ("prince"); Acts 5:31 ("Prince"). Israel means "prince/ruler (overcomer) with God".

Thus Jesus is Israel (Matthew 2:13-15; Hosea 11:1; his children are his disciples; Hebrews 2:13; Isaiah 8:16,18; John 13:33), who himself is the "elect" (Isaiah 42:1; Matthew 12:18; 1 Peter 2:6) of the Father, in whom all the promises of God find their realization (2 Corinthians 1:20). The promises made by God were all based upon condition (Exodus 19).
