Creation is also to rest, see Exo. 20:8-11.
God did indeed rest, from "creation", but continues the sacred 'work' in 'sustaining'. It keeps life (in harmony with the Sabbath, Luk. 6:9; etc) going.
Creation is not the same as Sustaining the Creation.
It would be like unto the two pillars of the Bible, Inspiration and Preservation.
Inspiration is not Preservation.
Inspiration (2 Tim. 3:16-17) is not the same as Preserving (Psa. 12:6-7) that which was/is Inspired.
Actually the koine Greek (which you seem to like to refer to) of Mar. 2:27, says
"... the sabbath was made for 'the' man ..."
και ελεγεν αυτοις το σαββατον δια
τον ανθρωπον εγενετο ουχ ο ανθρωπος δια το σαββατον
"ton" (the; definite article) "anthrwpon" (man; singular), which is a direct reference to Genesis 1:27 so-called LXX:
καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς
τὸν ἄνθρωπον, κατ᾿ εἰκόνα θεοῦ ἐποίησεν αὐτόν, ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἐποίησεν αὐτούς.
That "the man" was called "Adam", and all humanity is in him, and thus the whole duty of "adam" (man) is to keep God's commandments, Ecc. 12:13-14 HOT, HOT translit., and so-called LXX:
Ecc 12:13 HOT סוף דבר הכל נשׁמע את־האלהים ירא ואת־מצותיו שׁמור כי־זה כל־
האדם׃
Ecc 12:14 HOT כי את־כל־מעשׂה האלהים יבא במשׁפט על כל־נעלם אם־טוב ואם־רע׃
Ecc. 12:13 HOT Translit. šôf Dävär haKol nish'mä et-häélohiym y'rä w'et-mitz'wotäyw sh'môr Kiy-zeh Käl-
häädäm
Ecc. 12:14 HOT Translit. Kiy et-Käl-maáseh häélohiym yävi v'mish'Pä† al Käl-ne'läm im-†ôv w'im-rä
Ecc 12:13 so-called LXX Τέλος λόγου τὸ πᾶν ἀκούεται Τὸν θεὸν φοβοῦ καὶ τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ φύλασσε, ὅτι τοῦτο πᾶς
ὁ ἄνθρωπος.
Ecc 12:14 so-called LXX ὅτι σὺν πᾶν τὸ ποίημα ὁ θεὸς ἄξει ἐν κρίσει ἐν παντὶ παρεωραμένῳ, ἐὰν ἀγαθὸν καὶ ἐὰν πονηρόν.
Thus my original two questions, in conenction with 1 Cor. 15:45-47. Adam the first and Adam (Jesus) the second/last. Since the Sabbath was made for the man (Adam) and all humanity in him, it was also made for the second man, the LORD form Heaven, Jesus (the second Adam) and all humanity in Him for the Sabbath was most especially made for Him, Col. 1:16
Col. 1:16
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him,
and for him:
Thus go back to Mar. 2:27 and address the two questions of the OP if you would please.
Jesus is indeed the LORD of the Sabbath, since it was He that rested at Creation, Gen. 2:1-3, and in Redemption. The sabbath will be kept by all flesh even in eternity, Isa. 66:22-23, from "sabbath to sabbath". The Sabbath in Isaiah is always the 7th day, the sabbath of the LORD thy God, and never another day.
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).
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".
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.
Hebrews 4:11,
"that rest" (ie God's rest), the 7th day the sabbath (rest) of the LORD thy God.
Yep, but what does that have to do with the questions of the OP and topic?
It was "finished" from creation.
Here, let me show you something that is found online:
There is no scripture which states that. The 7th day is something literal, Gen. 2:1-3; Exo. 20:8-11, etc.
You are referring to Col. 2:16, but did not properly exegete it, for notice it speaks of "shadows", but God's Law (including the 4th commandments, Exo. 20:8-11) is "Light" (not shadow), Isa. 8:20; Psa. 119:105; Pro. 6:23. God's Law is spiritual (Rom. 7:14), not carnal (which Col. 2, is connected linguistically to Eph. 2 and Heb. 9-10 and Eze. 45:17; the "carnal" "ordinances"; Eph. 2:15; Heb. 9:10; Eze. 43:18, 44:5, 45:14 "ordinance"). God's Law is called "Commandments" and "Law" (Exo. 34:28; Deut. 4:13, 10:4), never "ordinances" (Col. 2:16; Eph. 2:15, Hebrews 9-10; Eze. 45:14-17, etc).
You presently have a mistaken notion in regards Col. 2, and I suspect you have not studied where Paul is quoting from, especially Psa. 98:1-3; Eze. 45:17, at least in Col 2.
A mentor of mine, who was known for pretty creative titles, once wrote an article and somebody wrote a 4 page rebuttal. My friend got about half into the first page when he realized the guy didn't read his article, he was arguing against the title.
