Israel and the New Covenant.

God rested from all his works on the Sabbath, just as we rest from all our works to save and in the works of Jesus, our Sabbath, who saves to the uttermost (Heb 7:25).

Yes, God rested on the seventh day Sabbath.

It does not say Jesus is our Sabbath.

This verse tells us HOW one also enters into His rest.

Heb 4:10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

When did God cease from His works that we are told we need to because only those that do enter into His rest.

Heb 4:4 4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”;

Because in God's rest, no one is rebelling against God's commandments. That is unrest. Rev22:11-12

Isa 48:18 Oh, that you had heeded My commandments!
Then your peace would have been like a river,
And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

Yes, God rested on the seventh day Sabbath.

God rested from all his work on the Sabbath (Heb 4:4), just as we rest from all our works to save and in the completed works of Jesus, our full-time Sabbath (Mt 11:28), who saves to the uttermost (Heb 7:25).

Same mispresentation of my post #302 (feels like high school), as demonstrated back in post #159 (mispresentation of my post #157 in your post #158).

Yes, we rest from our works on the seventh day, Exo 20:8-11, why the seventh day was spoken of in this way Heb 4:4 the same day God rested from His works on the seventh day Heb4:4 Heb4:10 as we are made in His likeness and follow His example Gen 2:1-3 Exo 20:8-11 Luke 4:16 1 John 2:6, not do our own thing.

This is what one does who also enters into His rest Heb4:10. God wants us to have both spiritual rest in Him and physical rest from our works, on the seventh day, which is His Sabbath Exo 20:10 and the holy day of the Lord, according to His own Testimony Isa 58:13. He set aside this sacred time from Creation, Gen 2:1-3 and He wants to bless Isa 56:2 and sanctify us Eze 20:12 because we can't do this ourselves Isa 66:17, we need to depend on Him.

More misrepresentation (is this high school?), this time of my post #302 (your leaving out the word "all"), as in your post #158 misrepresenting my post #157 (leaving out "in Christ") and pointed out in my post #159.

Still not a good look. . .

 

[SabbathBlessings]

More misrepresentation, this time of my post #302 (leaving out the word "all")

I didn't quote your post 302 and I am not required to post what you say in my own post that was not made directly to you.

Again, another strange accusation, not really a reflection on me. I am going to move on.

Take care.

I didn't quote your post 302

Are you going to say that your post #301: "yes, God rested on the Sabbath" (and quoted by me in my post #302)
was not in reponse to my post #300:"God rested from all his work on the Sabbath" (Heb 4:4),
and that your omission in your post #301 of my phrase from all his work in my post #300
was not misrepresention of my post #300 when you quoted my post #300 in your post #301?

Heb 3:7-4:11 (as well as all the NT) is about failure to enter full-time (Heb 4:4) salvation rest in the finished work of Jesus Christ (just as Israel failed to enter Canaan gospel rest, Heb 4:6) rather than relying on one's own works of the law to save. . .it's about failure to remain in gospel rest for salvation and returning to the law of works for salvation.

Paul tells us in Gal 3:17 that the law came 430 years after Abraham. Is he wrong?

God gave Abraham the command for circumcision in Gen. 17:10 but this was not the law. Here only circumcision is commanded.

Why would He be joking?

So if God was not joking, had Abraham declined to be physically circumcised at Genesis 17:14, he would have been cut off from God as well.

Would you agree with that logic?
