Sabbath Rest by Sinclair FergusonWrong. There is absolutely nothing in scripture to tie "the Lord's day" (Rev 1.10) to the first day of the week; while there is much in the book of Revelation to tie it to destruction and judgement.
Besides, there is no such thing as a "Christian weekly Sabbath" ever authorized in scripture. That is entirely man-made.
In speaking of this rest (3:18; 4:1, 3-6, 8) the author consistently used the same word for “rest” (katapausis). Suddenly, in speaking about the “rest” that remains for the people of God, he uses a different word (sabbatismos, used only here in the NT) meaning specifically a Sabbath rest. In the context of his teaching, this refers fundamentally to the “Sabbath rest” which is found in Christ (“Come … I will give you rest,”Matt. 11:28-30). Thus we are to “strive to enter that rest” (4:11).
