God resting on the seventh day was pointing forward to when God, as man, would rest in the tomb after completing His work of salvation. You are correct that God does not tire. God is spirit, tiredness pertains to the flesh.
Of course it didn't end there. God rose to life on the eighth day, an eternal day which is not followed by night, the "day that the Lord has made". The eighth day supersedes the seventh day as shown by circumcision occurring on the eighth day even if it fell on the Sabbath. This day is known in the Church as the Lord's day, "Kyriaki" in Greek.
Hi there,
I do not think you will find scripture that corresponds with your statements. I see you didn’t provide any which would have been useful.
The Lords day referring to Sunday in Greek was added years after the Bible. Not from scripture, from man applying it- this should be concerning if we are told to follow God’s Word and not to add to it. Proverbs 30:5-6
The first day is only referenced 8 times in the New Testament and not one scripture showing that the Sabbath commandment was deleted and we are now to worship on the first day. Scripture states that the Sabbath is still a commandment after the death of Jesus Luke 23:56 and Jesus talks about the Sabbath being kept before His coming Matthew 24:20 and the day we will be keeping for eternity thus saith the Lord. Isaiah 66:23
Well lets look at the Greek in the 8 scriptures that talk about the first day to see if it connects the first day as the Lords day:
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

As you can see there is nothing connecting the Lords day as the first day in scripture. To me, we should only go by God’s written Word, and God clearly claimed His day in scripture and that day is indisputable:
Exodus 20:10 but
the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.
Isaiah 58:13 “If you turn away your foot from
the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure
on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord
Isaiah 66:23 And from one
Sabbath to another,
All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.
God bless
