The first heresy

[trophy33]

From one new moon to the other, and from one Sabbath to another, shall ALL flesh come to worship before me. This is talking about any day of the month or just any day of the week. It specifically says new moon to new moon and Sabbath to Sabbath. It is the Sabbath that is important here because the text tells us mankind shall COME TO WORSHIP BEFORE YAHWEH on the Sabbath. It doesn't mention any other day of the week. In truth, mankind need not wait until Saturday to worship Yahweh, he can worship God any day he wants to. But Yahweh stresses that on the Sabbath (each Sabbath) mankind shall come to worship him. They work the remaining six days in between. Doing your work in six days was part of the commandment to Israel. You are supposed to worship God every day but you still did all your work on six of those days and you had one day in the week set aside to devote entirely to Yahweh.

You read the text as if it was saying "Every New Moon and every Sabbath, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the LORD."

However, the text says:
From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the LORD.

That means the worship is not on the day of Sabbath, but from Sabbath to Sabbath, i.e. a whole week (and a whole month - from new moon to new moon).

Its a poetic expression that, people in the kingdom of God worship and bow before God all the time and every day.

However, the text says:
From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the LORD.

That means the worship is not on the day of Sabbath, but from Sabbath to Sabbath, i.e. the whole week (and the whole month - from new moon to new moon).

The Jews observed the rest day from Sabbath to Sabbath and they observed the new moon to new moon. That did not mean they were worshiping God in the Temple Saturday through Friday and beginning again with the next Sabbath. They observed the Sabbath, then did all their work on the next six days, then worshiped God again on the following Sabbath. Working six days was part of the commandment and the Sabbath was when they would all come to the Temple and worship. They did not perpetually worship God all seven days of the week, they had work to do the other six days between the Sabbaths.

The Hebrew calendar has undergone some changes from Jesus's day to our day. In Jesus day the evening the thin crescent of the moon was spotted in the western sky observers would appear before the Sanhedrin and report what they saw. Then, the first day of the month would begin as the sun set. Today's Jewish calendar is done by computation and the day of the molad begins the new month, not the thin visible crescent of the new moon visible in the western sky after the molad. The first day of the week to the seventh day (Sabbath) is a fulll week in the Jewish calendar. The scripture teaches us that every Sabbath, and not every Wednesday to Wednesday or Friday to Friday, but every Sabbath to Sabbath mankind will observe the Sabbath. The other six days are work days. You do your job from Sunday to Friday and then every Sabbath, from Sabbath to Sabbath you have a day set aside for religious purposes, such as Bible Study, meditation, worshiping with other believers, prayer, and so on. That's what the text in Isaiah 66:22-24 is talking about.

Let's look at it closer:

22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.

Here, Yahweh is promising the new heavens and the new earth shall remain before Him and so shall Israel's seed and their name will remain.

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.

From one new moon to the other, and from one Sabbath to another, shall ALL flesh come to worship before me. This is talking about any day of the month or just any day of the week. It specifically says new moon to new moon and Sabbath to Sabbath. It is the Sabbath that is important here because the text tells us mankind shall COME TO WORSHIP BEFORE YAHWEH on the Sabbath. It doesn't mention any other day of the week. In truth, mankind need not wait until Saturday to worship Yahweh, he can worship God any day he wants to. But Yahweh stresses that on the Sabbath (each Sabbath) mankind shall come to worship him. They work the remaining six days in between. Doing your work in six days was part of the commandment to Israel. You are supposed to worship God every day but you still did all your work on six of those days and you had one day in the week set aside to devote entirely to Yahweh.

24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

At this time, for some reason I don't know, there are dead bodies that can be seen. What these people did during the millenium is anyone's guess because I sure don't know why there are dead bodies being eating by worms.

So God is stressing each sabbath day in the new heavens and earth, but he's not stressing each new moon.

The Jews observed the rest day from Sabbath to Sabbath and they observed the new moon to new moon.

The text from Isaiah is not about Jews, but about people in the kingdom of God. We worship God all the time, in Spirit. You are reading it wrong, in old Jewish, physical, ceremonial way.

The text explicitly says that people will worship Him from Sabbath to Sabbath, not on Sabbath.

 

[Saber Truth Tiger]

So God is stressing each sabbath day in the new heavens and earth, but he's not stressing each new moon.

New moons too.

 

[grafted branch]

You do your job from Sunday to Friday and then every Sabbath, from Sabbath to Sabbath you have a day set aside for religious purposes, such as Bible Study, meditation, worshiping with other believers, prayer, and so on. That's what the text in Isaiah 66:22-24 is talking about.

Why couldn’t Isaiah 66:23 be referring to the transition from the Old Testament sabbath to the sabbath described in Hebrews 4?

From one sabbath (literal sabbath observance) to another (entering into His rest).

 

[Saber Truth Tiger]

The text from Isaiah is not about Jews, but about people in the kingdom of God. We worship God all the time, in Spirit. You are reading it wrong, in old Jewish, physical, ceremonial way.

The text explicitly says that people will worship Him from Sabbath to Sabbath, not on Sabbath.

No. That's incorrect. If I said I worship God from one Sabbath to the other that is me saying that I worship on the Sabbath. If I say I will continue to worship Yahweh Sabbath to Sabbath that means I worship Yahweh on the Sabbath, every Sabbath. Always. Yahweh declares:

22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.
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.

Did you catch that? Read it again.

from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.

Yahweh says that from one Sabbath to the other, mankind will COME TO WORSHIP HIM. It doesn't say from one day to another mankind will COME TO WORSHIP BEFORE HIM, but from one Sabbath to the other. It is so clear when you understand that there were six days to do all your labor and the seventh day was set aside to worship Yahweh. In reality, in our hearts, we should worship Yahweh every day. But as for a day of rest from our labors and spiritual edification Yahweh has set one day aside where we can wholeheartedly and without work demands serve him in our worship. Remember, six days of labor was part of the original commandment. So, which six days will we labor, and which day will we COME TO WORSHIP BEFORE HIM. We Gentiles are not bound by the LAW but in the Millennium

24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Again, I don't understand this verse. Why are there dead bodies in visual range of the people in Jerusalem worshiping Yahweh? Do people who are rebellious die during the Millennium?

 

[trophy33]

Again, I don't understand this verse. Why are there dead bodies in visual range of the people in Jerusalem worshiping Yahweh? Do people who are rebellious die during the Millennium?

I do not think the prophecy is about any millennium, but about the eternal era we live in - Christianity.

Therefore, the prophecy is not literal, but figurative.

Also, as said in the New Testament, neither New Moons nor Sabbath are given to Christians to keep, these were just shadows of Christ. So also the text about them does not mean worshiping just on those days or observing them in any pre-Christian way.

 

[Saber Truth Tiger]

Why couldn’t Isaiah 66:23 be referring to the transition from the Old Testament sabbath to the sabbath described in Hebrews 4?

The Sabbath in Hebrews 4 is not one day out of the week rest, it is our rest in Jesus. With this in mind Isaiah 66:22-23 refers to a specific Sabbath that mankind COMES to Yahweh to worship before him. Coincidentally, that was what happened with the weekly Sabbath. Every Sabbath the Jews would worship on that day. When Paul preached in the book of Acts, he would observe the sabbath from one Sabbath to the next. True, he worshiped God every day of the week but he did his labors six days a week and the following Sabbath he would again go to the Jews to preach to them. He already had found the eternal rest that all true Christians have in Christ, but he met with Gentiles from one Sabbath to the next Sabbath and that did not mean he worshiped God in the synagogues every day of the week. When Sabbath keeping Gentiles in a Synagogue asked Paul to preach to them more, he did not tell them to meet him the next day somewhere in the town, rather, he told them to meet him the next Sabbath.

From one sabbath (literal sabbath observance) to another (entering into His rest).

The text doesn't say that though. Let's look at Hebrews 4 in its entirety:

4 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his REST, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into REST, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my REST: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did REST the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my REST
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them REST, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a REST TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD.
10 For he that is entered into his REST, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that REST, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

In this context the rest we enter into Jesus with is much different than a weekly Sabbath that is kept every seventh day. We enter the rest of Jesus and we remain in that state of rest for the rest of our natural lives. So when Isaiah 66:22-23 it states that from one sabbath to another, mankind shall COME TO WORSHIP BEFORE HIM it is not speaking of the spiritual rest that Gentile Christians have. It is an actual day set aside for worshiping Yahweh and not speaking of the rest the Gentiles have which is 24/7 and 365. Let Isaiah speak for himself:

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

 

[Saber Truth Tiger]

I do not think the prophecy is about any millennium, but about the eternal era we live in - Christianity.

I would like to see your evidence that this is happening today, as we speak.

Therefore, the prophecy is not literal, but figurative.

Your "therefore" doesn't logically follow. Let me see your evidence that this passage is not literal.

Also, as said in the New Testament, neither New Moons nor Sabbath are given to Christians to keep, these were just shadows of Christ. So also the text about them does not mean worshiping just on those days or observing them in any pre-Christian way.

Paul said plainly to not judge anyone in regard to the new moons or the Sabbaths. There were people being judged for keeping the Sabbath and New Moons and there were people being judged for not keeping the Sabbath and New Moons. If Paul was inspired of the Holy Spirit, then a Christian should not judge another Christian for doing it or not doing it. There is nothing wrong with good honest debate (Paul debated) but if you cross the line into judging someone for doing X or not doing X then you are blameworthy for judging a man regarding the Sabbath Days,

Christians are under no obligation to observe the seventh day Sabbath but that doesn't mean you are a sinner if you do. However, when Christ returns to set up his millennium kingdom, then the nations will begin coming before Yahweh on the Sabbath. You are 100% correct that in our day and age, Gentiles are under no requirement to keep the seventh day Sabbath sacred. They can, if they want to, but it is not required. However, in the Millennium we will once again be observing Sabbath and the Hebrew Scriptures claim that during that period those who eat pork will be guilty of an abomination. It appears some of the old Law will be re instituted during the Millennium.

Isaiah 66:17
They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.

What do you think?

 

[trophy33]

I would like to see your evidence that this is happening today, as we speak.

Its a standard Christian view of Isaiah 66 (until dispensationalism appeared in English speaking countries in the 19th century - since this time, American evangelicals adopted your way of the literal reading).

Also, if you read the whole chapter, you can see the judgement over Israel, birth of Christ and of church and gospel spreading to Greece and elsewhere.

Your "therefore" doesn't logically follow. Let me see your evidence that this passage is not literal.

If its about Christian era, its not literal, but figurative. Because it does not happen literally.

There is nothing wrong with good honest debate (Paul debated) but if you cross the line into judging someone for doing X or not doing X then you are blameworthy for judging a man regarding the Sabbath Days,

Paul explicitly said that both New Moons and Sabbaths were shadows of Christ, but the reality is Him. Therefore what is not required of nations cannot be read from Isaiah to be required of nations.

What do you think?

I am of the European reformation school of thought, so I do not believe in any future millennium kingdom in which people will have to return to old Mosaic habits, rules and shadows.

I think the text is mostly about pre-Christian era and early Christian era. And figurative.

I need proof. I don't just want your claim that it is figurative, I need you to prove to me it isn't literal. Remember the rule of interpretation that if the literal reading of the text makes sense, it is most likely the correct one. Don't just say it, prove it.

Paul explicitly said that both New Moons and Sabbaths were shadows of Christ, but the reality is Him. Therefore what is not required of nations cannot be read from Isaiah to be required of nations.

Yes it can. We are living under the New Covenant today and Christ's return hasn't happened yet. Isaiah 66 plainly teaches that mankind shall COME to worship God Sabbath to Sabbath. That is not happening today. Show me evidence that members of all nations are COMING TO YAHWEH every Sabbath, now, in 2023. Now, New Moons and the Sabbaths are shadows of Jesus Christ but in the Millennium the Sabbath will be re-instituted and the laws against eating pork will also be re-instituted (see Isaiah 66:17). That is not happening today.

I disagree. You have yet to prove this is pre-Christian and figurative. I just take it for what it says.

Read this from Isaiah 66:

15 For, behold, the Lord WILL COME WITH FIRE, AND WITH HIS CHARIOTS LIKE A WHIRLWIND, TO RENDER HIS ANGER WITH FURY, AND HIS REBUKE WITH FLAMES OF FIRE.

This shows that the events described in Isaiah 66:15-23 comes in our future. It hasn't happened yet. Definitely not pre-Christian and not figurative either. Continue reading:

16 For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.

Not yet happened

17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.

And this hasn't happened yet either. But yet you claim that Isaiah 66:22-23 is pre-Christian or figurative. I need proof before I can change my mind.

Read Christian literature outside of 19th century English.Please

I read a lot of literature, especially books on apologetics. I am asking you to prove it to me, not for me to go chasing rabbits by reading Christian literature outside the 19th century English.

How do you imagine such proof?

It's like defining pornography. You'll know it when you see it. You provide the proof and I will know it when I see it.

Literal reading does not make sense. It contradicts apostolic teaching and is not physically possible.

It makes a lot of sense when you don't operate from the presupposition that all the Old Testament Laws were done away with, forever. Shrow me where exactly it contradicts apostolic teaching. Prove to me it is not physically possible. I think you are referring to all mankind in Isaiah 66:22-23 coming to Jerusalem at the same time. Yes, that is highly improbable but I don't see it as a problem. Not every single soul on the planet will travel to Jerusalem at the same time. The logistics of such a move would be impossible. But if members of all mankind came to worship BEFORE Yahweh every new moon and Sabbath that doesn't stretch my credulity.

Its not literal, its figurative about the kingdom of God we live in. You are still arguing with your dispensationalism mindset.

You say it is not literal. Please provide your evidence. Prove that the events in Isaiah 66 is figurative and about the Kingdom of God we are now living in. I am not a dispensationalist.

In Context, Isaiah 66:15-24

15 For, behold, the LORD WILL COME WITH FIRE, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

This hasn't happened yet. When do you think it happened?

16 For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.

When has this happened? Where is your proof this happened.

17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.

Please, pray tell, when has this happened?

18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

This happened when? When have all nations and tongues been gathered?

19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

When has this happened?

20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.

And this?

21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord.

Since the destruction of the Temple, when has this happened?

22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.

When have the new heavens and the new earth been made new? Has this happened yet? If so, when?

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.

And, when has this ever happened? Pre-Christain?

24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Verse 1-2, about spiritual worship without physical temple (thats what Christ preached)
Verse 3-6 distaste of God with Israel and warning about coming judgement (thats what Christ preached)
Verse 7-14 about the birth of Christ and the joy in Jerusalem

This does not refer to the birth of Christ.

Context:

7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
12 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.

Verse 18-20 about the spreading of the Gospel to nations, Greece and Asia Minor named specifically as Paul's main field of work

18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

When has God gathered all nations and tongues? Once they are gathered, they shall come, and see His glory. When did this happen?

19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

When have those that escaped to Tarshish, Pul, and Luci and those that draw the bow to Tubal, and Javan, and to the isles afar off, have proclaimed His glory among the Gentiles? No assertions please, just the facts.

20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.

Verse 21-24 about continuous worship of nations before God and eternal remembrance of what happened to disobedient Israel in great judgement

Here is what the verses 21-24 state:

21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord.
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.
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.

This has already been discussed in detail.

24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Do not stumble on details, its a prophecy, not a newspaper.

It seems to me you are the one stumbling on details.

 

[Xeno.of.athens]

Indeed - the very thing "some " call "heresy" for those gentiles.

It could not be heresy because they did it while they were still among the Jews in the synagogues, once the Jews expelled them from the synagogues they no longer did "the very thing" that you say some call "heresy".
