op: sabbath a 'sign between Him and' us?
Luk 4:16 "And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up: and, as His custom
was, He went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read."
q: Who were 'His Own' that He Was
Sent to at His First Advent and ministry?:
Mat 15:24 "But He Answered and Said, I AM not sent
but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
q: Was not the "sabbath a sign between God and His people, Israel"?:
"Thus saith The LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for My salvation
is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man
that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the
sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil."
(Isaiah 56:1-2)
This is according to 'earthly' prophecy for The Twelve Tribes Of Israel, because:
Exo_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.
+
Eze_20:12 Moreover also I gave them My sabbaths, to be a sign
between Me and them, that they might know that I AM The LORD
That sanctify them.
+
Eze_20:20 And hallow My sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between
Me and you, that ye may know that I AM the LORD your God.
prophecy for the Twelve Tribes of Israel ( them ), to twelve apostles,
under The Law/Covenants
Rightly Divided (
2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That
Differ” (
online)
Mystery (Romans - Philemon), to one apostle, Paul, for the
One Body of Christ ( us ), today:
1)
Under Grace, Where Christ Lives In us 'The Body of Christ,'
To Fulfil:
All Of His Law, In "One Word: Love thy neighbor as thyself!"
Under the new "law of love," there are
mentions of transgressions Against
our neighbors: "adultery, killing, false witness, coveting,"
But:
There is
No mention of Sabbath-
breaking 'lawlessness' in these;
however,
where it is mentioned:
2) God Gives His 'Body' Liberty and freedom to
choose:
Rom 14:5-10 "One man esteemeth one day above another:
another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully
persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day,
regardeth it unto The LORD; and he that regardeth not the
day, to The LORD he doth not regard it...
...But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou
set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before
the Judgment Seat of Christ."
3) Some of us are "fully persuaded in our own mind" that the
Sabbath is "a
shadow" of
The Reality Of The True Sabbath, The
Saviour Jesus Christ, thus we
rest In HIM, 24/7,
And:
Where it Is
Mentioned Again,
Under Grace!:
Col 2:16-17 "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in
drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of
the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come;
but The Body is of Christ."
Conclusion, According To God's Word Of Truth,
Rightly Divided:
The "sabbath
Is a sign between God and Israel (
them )" Under the law,
but is
not a sign between God and His Body Of Christ (
us ), today, Under Grace.
Amen.
