What Are The Sabbaths In Colossians 2:16, 17 Shadows Of?

[Byfaithalone1]

if they have not yet occurred then they are yet to pass...that means we get to look forward to it in the future...As to references or clues regarding time period... how about

18For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

and

2For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

23And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

which I tie in with...

Revelation 21:1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Do you see a connection between "a new heaven and a new earth" and (1) corpses lying around and (2) celebrations based on the moon?

Celebrations based on the moon.. sure.. God said so.. so be it.. no sweat..

corpses lying around??

 

[Byfaithalone1]

Celebrations based on the moon.. sure.. God said so.. so be it.. no sweat..

I am reminded of the first sentence in this thread written by Martinman:

The sacred year calendar given by God to Moses for the Hebrews was made up of 7 months, each month beginning with the new moon.
​

Martinman has proposed that these "new moon celebrations" include the "sabbaths" described in Leviticus 23. Since Isaiah 66 discusses not only "sabbaths" but also "new moons," are you saying that I will observe the passover and the feast of tabernacles in "the new earth?" Should I be observing them now?

corpses lying around??

Yes. I'm referring to the very next verse:

"Then they will go forth and look on the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm will not die and their fire will not be quenched; and they will be an abhorrence to all mankind."

If God said so... then He will explain the corpses... I have not studied that part much...


Passover in heaven is just one of the His feasts [His memorials..moe'dims] we will always have in honor of what Christ has done for and in us.

New moons.. is the way that the Lord has set up the start of each month on His calendar. His Way of doing things.. whatever He wants.. no argument from me. .. it is a easy rythmn to get into.. being female... maybe I understand it better... just like the tides of the oceans ...

Fair enough. Just curious to learn more about how you view such things. Thanks for the dialogue.

When I think about this passage, I also think about Revelation 21:1-4. For many reasons, I steer away from the idea that the new earth will include corpses. Also, it seems to me that "from one new moon to another" and "from one sabbath to another" notes the passing of time, and not the concept of "sabbath keeping in Heaven." These are my conclusions; they don't have to be yours.

Both you and I are more apt to allow God to be God and give Him the glory in which ever way He chooses. God can work with that.

Yeah, what I learned so far regarding the new earth is that ultimately "corpses" are ashes.

11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. KJV

New moon is darkness. Sabbath is loss.

Joe

The moon during conjunction is totally dark, sometimes not actually seen for as long as 3 or 4 days. Of course, any light that the moon gives is reflected from the sun. The sun is bright light.

The 7th-day Sabbath which is governed entirely by the sun, is the memorial of both creation and redemption.

Exodus 31:13 "Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it [is] a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that [ye] may know that I [am] the LORD that doth sanctify you.
14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it [is] holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth [any] work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh [is] the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth [any] work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, [for] a perpetual covenant.
17 It [is] a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God."

These tables of stone contained the same law that the Lord says, "After those days," He will make a new covenant with His people, and write His law in their hearts, and that He will remember their iniquities no more.

Praise the Lord! I long for that day.

Martin,

Those promises are for today.

Notice that the exact day is mentioned....

And they departed from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sina; and ON THE FIFTEENTH DAY, IN THE SECOND MONTH after their departure from the land of Egypt, all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron. And the children of Israel said to them, Would we had died smitten by the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, and ate bread to satiety! for ye have brought us out into this wilderness, to slay all this congregation with hunger. And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread upon you out of heaven: and the people shall go forth, and they shall gather their daily portion for the day, that I may try them WHETHER THEY WILL WALK IN MY LAW OR NOT. -- Exodus 16:1-4

Now notice the next miracle. Verse 20: some tried to save a supply of manna over until next morning, contrary to God's command. "It bred worms, and stank."

Now verse 22: On the sixth day they gathered a double portion of manna.

Verse 23: Moses explained that "Tomorrow is the rest of the Holy sabbath unto the Eternal." And on this sixth day, they were commanded to lay up the Sabbath supply of food, which they did.

And, verse 24, it did not breed worms nor decay, as on the preceding five days! Here was another MIRACLE from God, showing them which is the right seventh day!

When the next morning came -- the SABBATH, Moses said (verses 25-26) "Today is a sabbath unto the Eternal: today ye shall not find it in the field. Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none"

This is God walking people through the weekly sabbath schedule...

Here is an interesting tidbit...
Obviously, the 15th is seven days before the 22nd, so therefore it's a Sabbath too!

Now I am going to add another piece...
Jeremiah 31:35-36: "Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night...If those ordinances depart from before Me, says the Lord, then the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever."

Before I go further I need to explain...
Leviticus 23 should read as follows: "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'The APPOINTMENTS of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My APPOINTMENTS."

Regarding those four key words in Genesis 1:14 -- signs, seasons, days and years --

Signs... implying astronomical events such as eclipses, and others we observe with our eyes in the sun, moon and stars.

Seasons... appears to represent the four radical weather shifts we experience each year -- winter, summer, spring and autumn or fall. However, the Hebrew word that has been translated "seasons" implies NO SUCH THING! This word -- "MOWADAH" or miqra (Strong's #4150) -- literally means "AN APPOINTMENT..

Psalm 104:19 we find the same word -- mowadah / miqra - used SPECIFICALLY IN RELATION TO THE MOON -- He appointed the moon for seasons [mowadah / miqra ]..." by the way the English word "appointed" in that verse actually means "made" -- see Strong's #6213.. so this verse should read: "He MADE the moon for APPOINTMENTS"! Now, just what are His appointments?

The answer to this is found in Leviticus 23 --

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: "The FEASTS of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My FEASTS.

Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is a Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings"

A better way of translating it would have been...'The APPOINTMENTS of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My APPOINTMENTS."

The grave error in translating "mowadah / miqra " as "feasts" becomes apparent when you realize that in verse 3 the SOLE SUBJECT is the seventh-day Sabbath! Generally we don't think of the Sabbath as being a "feast" per se, but it actually leads the list of "feasts" in Leviticus 23.

Here is a corroboration from Ecclesiasticus 43:6-8

And then the moon, ever punctual to mark the times, an everlasting sign: It is the moon that signals the feasts, a luminary that wanes after being full. The month derives its name from hers, she waxes wonderfully in her phases, banner of the hosts on high, shining in the vault of heaven"

There are other scriptures that tie the two together...

Kings 4:23 So he said, "Why are you going to him today? It is neither THE NEW MOON NOR THE SABBATH." And she said, "It is well."

2 Chronicles 24:31 And at every presentation of a burnt offering to the Lord on the SABBATHS AND THE NEW MOONS and on the set feasts, by number according to the ordinance governing them, regularly before the Lord.

2 Chronicles 2:4: Behold, I am building a temple for the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to Him, to burn before Him sweet incense, for the continual showbread, for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on THE SABBATHS, ON THE NEW MOONS, and on the set feasts of the Lord our God.

2 Chronicles 8:13 According to the daily rate, offering according to the commandment of Moses, for THE SABBATHS, THE NEW MOONS, and the three appointed yearly feasts -- the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

Nehemiah 10:33 "for the showbread, for the regular grain offering, for the regular burnt offering of THE SABBATHS, THE NEW MOONS, and the set feasts..."

Ezekiel 46:3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the entrance to this gateway before the Lord on THE SABBATHS AND THE NEW MOONS.

Amos 8:5 When will THE NEW MOON be past, that we may sell grain? And THE SABBATH, that we may trade our wheat?

We can be sure that the sun generally marks days...

God provided the basis for such measuring of time. Genesis 1:14, 15 tells us that one of the purposes of the "luminaries in the expanse of the heavens" is that they might serve for "seasons and for days and years." The solar day, the solar year, and the lunar month are thus NATURAL divisions of time, governed respectively by the daily turning of the earth on its axis, by its annual orbit around the sun, and by the MONTHLY PHASES OF THE MOON in its relation to earth and sun.

 

[Martinman]

Still working on OP... to me ... We could try to see if it is true whether or not all the shadow sabbaths did coincide with the 7th day sabbath the year our Lord fulfilled them.

[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]Yes, the Bible says that the Messiah died on the preparation day, the day prior to the 7th-day Sabbath, and also, the day before the lunar "shadow" Sabbath. You might see a paradox if you don't understand the difference between, as well as, the principles used in determining the feast day schedule in the two Hebrew calendars, Hillel I and Hillel II. [/FONT]


[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]The Hillel I calendar was used until the middle of the 4th century C.E. Therefore, it was the calendar in use during the time that the Messiah was on earth. In using the principles for determining the feast day schedule under the Hillel I calendar, in 31 C.E., we find that the first sliver of the new moon would have been visible Friday evening on the 13th of April (Gregorian calendar) at the beginning of the 7th-day Sabbath. That would have been the first day of the first month of the year, making April 14 (Gregorian calendar) a 7th-day Sabbath. [/FONT]


[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]The Passover occurred on the 14th day of this first month (Nisan or Abib) which was on Friday, the 27th of April. Since the Hebrews counted the day beginning in the evening, the night before, the day actually began in the evening on Thursday, the 26th of April (Gregorian calendar) in 31 C.E. The "shadow" Sabbath began on the preparation day in the evening of the 27th of April (Gregorian calendar) making the 28th of April, the "shadow" Sabbath. Of course, that particular year, the 28th of April was also, a 7th-day Sabbath. Again, the day begins the night before at sunset.[/FONT]

[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]In the Hillel I calendar, as in the Hillel II calendar, the first visible sliver is often used to determine the first day of the month, however, occasionally, the new moon near the point of conjunction is used for this purpose, and the moon is not visible at that point. This would be the case when the "shadow" Sabbath and its anti-type, the 7th-day Sabbath, could fall on the exact same day, such as, at the new moon of the seventh month or when the tenth day of the seventh month, also a "shadow" Sabbath, could fall on the 7th-day Sabbath, again, the type occurring on the anti-type.[/FONT]

How do you reconcile this with the Biblical account showing us that the High Sabbath occured on Thursday after the crucifixion? You've adopted a model God isn't using.

 

[Martinman]

How do you reconcile this with the Biblical account showing us that the High Sabbath occured on Thursday after the crucifixion? You've adopted a model God isn't using.

The Wednesday Crucifixion Theory originated with Herbert W. Armstrong, according to my understanding, and was promoted by him. To arrive at his conclusion, he had contacted the U.S. Naval Observatory for the timing of the Passover for the year, 31 C.E. The U.S. Naval Observatory, not being experts on the Hebrew calendars, reported to him when the conjunction of the moon nearest the spring equinox had occurred, assuming the Hebrew month began with the conjunction.


Using the conjunction of the moon rather than the first visible sliver, resulted in their conclusion that the fourteenth day of this first month fell on Wednesday in the year, 31 C.E.


The problem with this conclusion is that no Hebrew calendar of that era began the year until after the spring equinox. The Hillel I calendar, the Hebrew calendar used until the middle of the fourth century, always began the first month of the sacred year at the first new moon after the spring equinox. Thus the true beginning of the new year would have been one month later than the new moon that was used by the U.S. Naval Observatory in determining the fourteenth day of the first month.


The conjunction of the moon was not normally taken to be the first day of the month, in the Hillel I calendar, unless by so doing, the new moon would coincide with the 7th -day Sabbath. This same method, in determining the timing of the feast days is also used in the Hillel II calendar, “Hebcal”, if any of the feasts of the seventh month can be scheduled to coincide with the 7th-day Sabbath, resulting in the day being termed a ”high Sabbath”.


The traumatic fulfillment of the feast days in 31 C.E., when all the lunar “shadow” Sabbaths occurred on their anti-type, the 7th-day Sabbaths, at the time that the Messiah fulfilled these feast days to the very letter, had such a profound influence on the Jewish nation, that ever since this occurrence, the Passover feast has never been scheduled to occur on the preparation day (Friday).


The new moon of the first month is never recognized when it does coincide with the 7th-day Sabbath, from that time onward. It is always advanced or delayed a day or so to bypass the Sabbath new moon. This can be verified simply by checking the perpetual Hebrew calendar, the Hillel II calendar, “Hebcal”, which shows the feast day schedule for thousands of years, giving the exact day of the week when each feast day will occur.


Together with the traditional record, this evidence fully supports the Biblical account of these events as they took place.

 

[VictorC]

The Wednesday Crucifixion Theory originated with Herbert W. Armstrong, according to my understanding, and was promoted by him.

I believe you're going to have a hard time convincing anyone that Herbert Armstrong wrote the Gospel accounts Mark and Luke provided for us, and it was those that I relied on. I relied on first-hand witness account, following Mary as she procured enbalming spices for Jesus. That is contained in the Scriptures, and doesn't need computer calendars and the Naval Observatory.

You haven't reconciled your theory with the Biblical record, and you haven't established a sabbath during the current age.

Oh, no! I wouldn't even want to convince anyone that Herbert Armstrong wrote the Biblical accounts. Because he didn't! He didn't believe the Gospel accounts in Mark and Luke. The verses in both these gospels that deal with the timing of the crucifixion and the resurrection are given below. They cannot make it any clearer.


MARK'S GOSPEL


Mark15:42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,


Mark 15:43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.


The words, “the day before the Sabbath”, show plainly that it was Friday.


Mark 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.


“When the Sabbath was past”, means that the Sabbath is over, the sun has gone down, which occurred around 6 p.m. And the women bought the spices to be able to anoint the body early Sunday morning.


Mark 16:2 And very early in the morning the first [day] of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.


Mark 16:3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?


This verse shows that the women waited until Sunday morning which was the first day of the week to take the spices to the tomb.


LUKE'S GOSPEL


Luke 23:50 And, behold, [there was] a man named Joseph, a counsellor; [and he was] a good man, and a just:


Luke 23:51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them [he was] of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.


Luke 23:52 This [man] went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

Luke 23:53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.


Luke 23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.


Joseph is laying the body in the sepulchre just before sunset on Friday evening, very close to the beginning of the Sabbath. The Messiah's work of salvation ended at the close of the 6th day just as His work of creation had ended at the close of the 6th day. In both cases He rested during the holy hours of the Sabbath.


Luke 23:55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

Luke 23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.


There is no doubt about which commandment they are observing here—they are resting according to the Sabbath commandment, the 4th commandment of God's holy ten commandments.


Luke 24:1 Now upon the first [day] of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain [others] with them.


The week has 7 days, it does now and it did then, and as you said there is no need for any computer calendar or any Naval Observatory. The first day of the week still comes on the day following the Sabbath, just as it did back then.


Luke 24:2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.


Luke 24:3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

Thus there are no contradictions between the Biblical record and what I have presented. However, I don't have any burden to convince you or anyone else from any of the evidence that I have ever presented. Everyone has a mind capable of making their own decision based upon the weight of inspired evidence. None are to lean on anyone else to interpret the Scriptures for them. The Bible clearly states that we are to “Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22. ​

 

[VictorC]

The words, “the day before the Sabbath”, show plainly that it was Friday.

False.
It indicates it was the day before the sabbath.

Mark 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

Correct.
Mary had to wait until after the sabbath, and John 19:31 states that it was the High Sabbath, not a weekly sabbath: "Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.".

This was the annual sabbath of the Passover.
It wasn't until after this sabbath was over that Mary was able to buy enbalming spices.

Luke 23:55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

Luke 23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

There is no doubt about which commandment they are observing here—they are resting according to the Sabbath commandment, the 4th commandment of God's holy ten commandments.

That is correct.
You didn't notice that Mary had to have the enbalming spices in her possession before she could prepare them for use, and she couldn't procure them until the sabbath was over. And then after she had prepared them, she rested on the weekly sabbath.

It is evident from the Gospel accounts that there were two sabbaths in the week Jesus was crucified, and Mary procured the spices on the day in between the two. Do the math, and formulate a model that is compliant with the length of days and nights Jesus laid in the grave: "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matthew 12:40).

The idea of a Friday crucifixion comes from the Roman Catholic church, and is one of their various additions to tradition that isn't supported by Scripture. I believe you have still adopted a model that is unBiblical.

Just as you have adopted a model of a continued sabbath in a dispensation when God took that shadow away with His own Hand and gave us entrance into His permanent rest. That is another series of posts you have not answered, from both ByFaithAlone and myself.

The 7th-day Sabbath which is governed entirely by the sun, is the memorial of both creation and redemption.

If the seventh-day sabbath is a memorial of redemption, did Jesus Christ fulfill it?

You will find your answer in ...

In Exodus... it is a memorial of creation..

Exodus 20:9-12 (New International Version)
9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

But in Deuteronomy 5:15 it is a memorial of the redeeming powers of God.

Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.

The same apply to the last days... Reminder of who your Creator is and a memorial whom you should be worshipping

Revelation 14:7
He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water."

Is it also true that the sabbath was a memorial of the Israelite's exodus from Egypt?

Would it be safe to conclude that you also believe the seventh-day sabbath was a shadow of something to come?
