Sabbath

The Sabbath is the 7th day of the week and literally means rest, it also the first Holidayordained by the Most High, creator of heaven and earth. The Sun and moon were createdon the fourth (4th ) day of creation and three days later on the 7th day the Sabbath wasestablished. Proving the Sabbath is not based upon the lunar (moon) calendar.

Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. [2] And onthe seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day fromall his work which he had made. [3] And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: becausethat in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Many are confused about Remember the Sabbath what does that mean? How do we keep itholy? This the same confusion that comes about with not doing thy Pleasure of the Sabbth-

Isaiah 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day;and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doingthine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: [14] Then shaltthou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth,and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

So how do we rememberthe Sabbath and not do our own pleasure? You remember the Sabbathby keeping the laws that pertain to the Sabbath which is the same as not doing thy own pleasure.

Let examine the laws that pertain to the Sabbath.

NO WORKING

Exodus 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: [10] But the seventh day is thesabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter,thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: [11]For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested theseventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

NO COOKING

Exodus 35:3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.

This also includes no microwaves.

Exodus 16:23 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is therest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that yewill seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

NO BUYING OR SELLING

Nehemiah 10:31 And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day tosell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leavethe seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.

Nehemiah 13:15 In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, andbringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens,

which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the daywherein they sold victuals. [16] There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and allmanner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. [17] ThenI contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, andprofane the sabbath day? [18] Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evilupon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath. [19]

And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, Icommanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till afterthe sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be broughtin on the sabbath day. [20] So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged withoutJerusalem once or twice. [21] Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge yeabout the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no moreon the sabbath.

Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

[28] Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

The Sabbath was made for what man?

Exodus 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbaththroughout 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 seventhday he rested, and was refreshed.

Shalom
