If we are IN Christ, then we are IN HIS DAY. He made it for himself and He gave it to man to rest in WITH HIM.
This DAY is NOW.
The Sabbath was a sign. It showed us/them what was to come for all eternity.
But they missed the mark, so to speak. They missed the sign and turned it into a work instead of a gift.
Forty years, or a generation...
walked in the wilderness with God. He gave them water from the rock, he fed them manna from heaven.
Their shoes and clothes did not fail them.
They did not have to toil and labour and be under bondage to no man.
They were walking in the Liberty of the Lord.
The was walking in His Day, His Sabbath.. and the people rested in it.
While they were resting, he was showing them the eternal Sabbath, not for one generation only, but for all generations to come.
He was testing and teaching everyday.. all 6 of them that they collected manna from heaven and water from the rock.
The seventh day was given to see if they would keep it, and honor it, and REMEMBER the SABBATH DAY to KEEP it HOLY.
I do not believe the SABBATH is a 24 hour period of one day of one week in earth time.
I believe the Sabbath is ONE DAY with the Lord as a thousand years, or a generation, or many generations..
or as long as man is willing to keep it and remember what it represents...
Our life with God at the helm and in control.
God Bless
