The word is rests translated Sabbaths it is a non-time sensitive word. Not week evdomáda. The word week was added it was not part of inspiration from heaven. The Greek did not even coin the word week till much later.
The Youngs literal translated the word Sabbaths (rests) , Sabbaths rests) in Mathew 28 in order to introduce the new era of a shadow of a rest the first day of the week evdomáda . The day he said let; “there be light” as the very presence of God therefore introducing the new creation, Christian, the bride of all the nations of the world, children of light, as sons of God. . The ceremonial Sabbath as a gospel fast performed as sign to the whole world.
A gospel sign to the world .Not a sign to those who perform it as a work accredited to one’s own account. The other 9 uses of the word week new testament follow the majority of opinions offered by other translators change the word from non-time sensitive to one sensitive to time "week" and not "rest". . .
I would think overzealous mankind in false pride trying to make a non-time sensitive word into one sensitive to time restraints. .
The temporal rest we receive today or called under the Sun is this present world. .Any time we hear his voice and harden not our hearts knowing it is Christ who alone can make the soft. Again daily yoked with him it makes our load lighter (wage of sin, death through dying) .
The eternal rest will come when we receive our new incorruptible bodies .Then there will be no sufferings when we lay in those green pastures.
Until then there is a ceremonial shadow(1) and a temporal daily rest(2) if we mix faith the unseen will of God in what we do hear or say . .
Then verse like below will ring true tithing on the same day we share our substance with those not as fortunate.
The gospel fast is much more that eating or not eating .The true fast is revealed in Isaiah 58 as a "parable" or called "hidden mana" in Revelation 2:17 .
One man bragged he only ate two of the allowable meals of the day of fast which includes a tithe among others
(My interpretation ) I
fast twice in the
Sabbath ,
I give
tithes of all that
I possess.
Not like what I would call overzealous time sensitive time keepers.
Luke 18:12 I fast twice in the
week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
While I am no scholar a good understanding of the purpose of ceremonial laws as shadows of the good things to come. Searching the whole bible for each use can benefit the whole understanding. It can open up other understanding seeing. Its all one revelation (shadows of the good things to come as well as what is here and together reveals the gospel or hidden understanding.(faith) called hidden manna in Revelation 2 (mysteries of faith hid in parables. .)
Another place we can view that which I think supports what I am offering.. There were two days set aside for the rest ceremony or shadow when a person was not required to do the labor (5 days) The work it takes to maintain their life of the flesh, necessary food shelter and clothing. . .
One day of the ceremony (preparation) of the two days as an shadow of good things to come it was set aside for all the different preparations ( Gather nanna . gather fire wood etc) needed to prepare the manna which would be eaten and shared on the next day the day of the fast.
The manna must be cooked on preparation day or it turned into to worms used to represent death.
To be used on the day of the fast. . or the day of eating and sharing ones whole life the true fast food, clothing and shelter a time to share the gospel fast the kind of fast that the disciples knew not of and therefore could not be part of casting out spirits of lies.
Nothing could be added to that shadow of the gospel or taken away from it.
On one occasion to be used as a example. One person for some reason purposely ignored the law of a shadow of the good thing to come (eternal rest) and gathered sticks on the day the manna was to be eaten. The warning bake them the day before or they were turn in worms signifying death . Twice used below to emphasize he mentions gathering sticks .
There is no law of not keeping warm on the Sabbath . many oral tradition have been added by some Rabbi
Numbers 15:32-36 King James Version (KJV) And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that
gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. And they that found him
gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely
put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses
