Thats the issue, I do not need to ask myself, because my words matter not, what God say doesAsk yourself why the Sabbath was created.
it was rest.
God RESTED on the 7th day. That's why it's Holy.
Because He Rested.
Gen 2: 1 Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
The Sabbath was sanctified from the beginning for holy use because God rested from all of His work which God created and made.
Why God started the Sabbath commandment with Remember- because you don’t remember something that just started, He is taking us back to Creation and each Sabbath is a memorial to everything God created for man without man so we never forget Who made us and where we came from. The Sabbath commandment also contains the seal of God Exo 20:11
Exo 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
We can find throughout the Bible the Sabbath was meant to bless man Isa 56:2 and sanctify man Eze 20:12 because man can’t sanctify themselves Isa 66:17 no matter how hard they try, we need God and its a sign between God and man Eze 20:20. The Bible is filled with ways to keep the Sabbath day holy and how not to keep it and what it does to Jesus when we profane His Sabbath, you can find all of these Texts in our Bibles. I have already provided many, most with thus saith the Lord, but people brush aside and post their own opinions as if thats equal to what God says.
The Sabbath commandment is law - it’s God’s law personally written and spoken by God. I know of anyone greater than He, do you? Exo 20:8-11 Exo 20:6 Deut 4:13You have turned the reason for the Sabbath existing from rest, to religion and law.
3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellingsThe goal was rest. Not going for worship and religious ceremonies.
Now in Leviticus 23, yes they call it a holy convocation but...
Why do you think following the example of Jesus to worship Him with like-minded people work. This is your own reasoning, nothing in the Scriptures.
The Sabbath rest is a holy convocation- the Sabbath of the Lord is in all dwellings i.e. peoples homes it doesn't mean one has to stay home and not go outside, would make it difficult since its a holy convocation i.e. holy gathering which is how we Jesus kept the Sabbath who is our example to follow Luke 4:16 1John 2:6. The Sabbath is in my dwelling the entire day, not just when I go to church, the whole day is about God on the Sabbath Isa 58:13
The weekly Sabbath is not the same as the feast days, God identified the weekly Sabbath as My Sabbath, the holy day of the Lord. The yearly feasts/sabbath(s) days as your sabbath(s) and they came after the fall of man, the weekly Sabbath was part of Creation and part of God’s perfect plan for mankind.now compare that, the 7th day Sabbath of rest.. to all the other sabbaths within Leviticus 23
but the Sabbath of rest on the 7th day?
There was nothing about doing any work, even religious work. They were commanded to stay home and-11
Where is it commanded to not leave your house on the Sabbath?
Exo 20: 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Than Jesus broke the Sabbath when preaching God’s word on the Sabbath in the churches of that time Luke 4:16-30 . I do pray you are not calling Jesus a sinner and breaking the Sabbath commandment like He was accused by the Pharisees when He said He kept the commandments including the Sabbath and did not sin John 15:10 Luke 4:16 John 8:46-47
