High sabbath is an English translation

high sabbaths are not mentioned in the Old Testament. They are called holy convocations.

The sabbath in John 19 appear to be a literal sabbath, 7th day. It also appears that the sabbath was a great one.

Lev_23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
Lev_23:38 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
Lev_25:8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

Lev 25:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.
Lev 25:3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
Lev 25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

The sabbath of the land is also mirrored in the 1000 years we will be in heaven with Jesus---all the land on earth will be desolate. Laid waste by His coming--a 1000 year Sabbath.

Pe_3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Pe_3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

It is my personal belief that they are the same time period.

My Bible says their commandment was to stay away from the tree.

I find no command for them to keep the Sabbath day.

There is no commandment to keep a Sabbath day before Exodus.

So you think God made the Sabbath for man, but then did not have them keep it until Exodus????!!!

Encyclopedias - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia - Hallow; Hallowed
HALLOW; HALLOWED

hal'-o, hal'-od, hal'-o-ed ("to render or treat as holy," Anglo-Saxon halgian, from halig, "holy"):

It translates several forms of qadhash, "set apart," "devote," "consecrate," frequently rendered in the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American), the American Standard Revised Version "consecrate," "dedicate," "holy," and especially "sanctify," closely synonymous, "hallow" perhaps containing more of the thought of reverence, sacredness, holiness. It embraces the idea of marked separateness. It is applied to persons, as the priest (Leviticus 22:2,3); to places or buildings, as the middle of the temple court (1 Kings 8:64); the tabernacle (Exodus 40:9); to things, like the portion of the sacrifice set apart for the priests (Numbers 18:8); to times and seasons, as the Sabbath (Jeremiah 17:22; Ezekiel 20:20) and the Jubilee year (Leviticus 25:10); to God Himself (Leviticus 22:32). Its underlying idea of the separateness of holy nature or holy use works out into several often overlapping senses: (1) To set apart, dedicate, offer, reserve, for the worship or service of God: Exodus 28:38, "The holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts"; also Leviticus 22:3; Numbers 18:29, etc.; 2 Kings 12:4, "All the money the hallowed things" (the King James Version "dedicated"), etc. (2) To make holy, by selecting, setting apart, claiming, or acknowledging as His own: Genesis 2:3, "God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it" (the King James Version "sanctified"); but Exodus 20:11 (King James Version, the English Revised Version, the American Standard Revised Version), "hallowed." So of the temple (1 Kings 9:7); of the firstborn, spared in Egypt (Numbers 3:13). (3) To dedicate or consecrate by formal ceremonial, with the accompanying idea of cleansing from sin and uncleanness: Exodus 29:1, "This is the thing that thou shalt do unto them (Aaron and his sons) to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office." The whole chapter is devoted to the elaborate ceremonial, consisting of ablutions, endowment in priestly robes and paraphernalia, anointing with oil, the offering of a bullock for a sin offering, and of a ram, the placing of the blood of another ram upon the right ear, right thumb, right great toe of each, the wave offering, the anointing of the holy garments, and the eating of the consecrated food, all this lasting seven days, and indicating the completeness with which they were set apart, the deep necessity of purification, and the solemnity and sacredness of the office. The tabernacle and its furniture were similarly "hallowed" by a simpler ceremony, using the anointing oil. (4) To render ritually fit for religious service, worship, or use: Leviticus 16:19, "Hallow it (the altar with the sprinkled blood) from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel"; Numbers 6:11, "The priest shall .... make atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day." (5) To hold sacred, reverence, keep holy: Jeremiah 17:22, "But hallow ye the Sabbath day," by keeping it distinct and separate, especially (Jeremiah 17:24,27) by refraining from unnecessary work, from burden-bearing, travel, or traffic (Nehemiah 13:16). See Exodus 20:8-11 (the Sabbath Commandment). (6) To revere, hold in awe, and reverence as holy and "separated from sinners" in majesty, power, sacredness: Leviticus 22:32, "And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel." Qadhash is elsewhere translated "sanctify" in this connection, meaning "to be manifested in awe-producing majesty, power, or grace": Ezekiel 38:23, "And I will .... sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am Yahweh"; compare Ezekiel 28:22,23, etc.

In the New Testament "hallow" occurs only in the "Lord's Prayer," there rendering hagiazo, the Septuagint word for qadhash:

Matthew 6:9; Luke 11:2, "Hallowed be thy name." Hagiazo is quite frequent in the New Testament, and is always (American Standard Revised Version) rendered "sanctify," except here, and in Revelation 22:11, "He that is holy, let him be made holy still." To "hallow the name" includes not only the inward attitude and outward action of profound reverence and active praise, but also that personal godliness, loving obedience and aggressive Christlikeness, which reveal the presence of God in the life, which is His true earthly glory.

I think it's interesting to read what the people are saying about this. I wish we could figure it out before it happens.

I think something bad is going to happen. And when it happens, it's either going to be winter or summer, either on a Saturday or after sundown into Sunday depending on where one lives. Because this will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole Earth.

We might be having a heatwave right now, but other places are having record cold.

Record Cold in Australia.

Luke pulls the AofD out of chapter 21 and puts it into chapter 17 after the mention of the "days of Lot".

And then He brings up the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all—so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

And then He says the day, "ON THAT DAY".

"On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back.​

On what day? The day that fire rains from Heaven. Sudden destruction.

And then the same instructions to flee to the mountains as Matthew did after mentioning the Abomination.

Sorry for the unpopular view.

Read this paragraph carefully.

Luke 21:20-24
But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near. Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city; because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled. Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people; and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

The destruction of the temple and Jerusalem, merely introduces the age of the Gentiles. Matthew confuses the destruction of Jerusalem with the end of the world. Whereas Luke separates the destruction of Jerusalem from the last day event.

I'm remembering from Sunday school that the old testament law was given to Moses (that's why it's called the Mosaic law). Exodus 20

Don't forget the rest of the law.

Abraham had the entire law before Exodus and Leviticus.

Genesis 26:5
Because Abraham obeyed Me and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws.

Nehemiah 9:13
Then You came down on Mount Sinai, And spoke with them from heaven; You gave them just ordinances and true laws, good statutes and commandments.

See Abraham had the whole law.

Again. The ceremonial laws--the Levitical laws, is what is called the laws of Moses. Those laws were not written by the hand of Jesus--but dictated by God to Moses. He wrote the 10 with His own finger. It was Jesus at creation week that set up the Sabbath, sanctified it, hallowed it, set it apart--ceased His work. It was set up as a testament that God is the Creator of all, and He did it in 6 days. Jesus is the Creator of all things. And it was He that created the Sabbath for man, Not for Himself, and created it at the end of creation week. The law of God are the 10 commandments. It is the Levitical laws, the laws of Moses the ceremonial laws, all those feasts and things that are no longer needed, no longer need to have a blood sacrifice for Jesus is the Sacrificial Lamb. Those ceremonies pointed to Him and on the cross they were fulfilled. The 10 commandments, the moral law, are the only ones written by Him who created all things and they were put in the Ark, not the law of Moses, those ceremonial laws were set outside the ark.

The coming in Matthew 24:30, you do realize is after the trib of those days, right? What was that coming in regards to then? If the trib of those days are meaning the events of 70 AD to some of you, the coming in Matthew 24:30 would be meaning after, and not during the events of 70 AD instead. What was that coming in regards to then?

Yes...the "coming" mentioned in Matt 24:30 is immediately after the tribulation of those days. In my belief (and in my understanding)...the great tribulation began around the time of Jesus' crucifixion (when so many of the disciples and Jesus followers were being executed and tortured).

The "coming" wasn't a coming to earth. It was Jesus "coming into power" and His being seated "at the right-hand of the Father" after His wrath being fulfilled. I don't believe it was one specific event that was "His coming".....but a series of events (Him symbolically declaring the Temple His Father's house, His Ascension into Heaven, the Destruction of the Temple...etc). An interesting study is to look at the Levitical law about the priestly duties of observing the Temple for corruption (that's what Jesus was doing when He visited the Temple twice - the last time was shortly before His crucifixion and He'd declared it to be corrupt).

Language is important....and like I've said, I'm still quite wobbly in articulating all this as it's new to me....but here is something that explains my view (from an earlier thread. Also....take note of Claninja's post #8):
