The Sabbath commandment was exclusively for the Jews.
The Sabbath is a part of the CREATION WEEK.
But who would agree that the blessings of the creation week belongs only to the Jews? If Sabbath has to be exclusively Jewish, then ALL what God created during the seven days of creation, have to be only for the Jews too! But who would say that?
Is it only for the Jews?
Is it only for the Jews?
Is it only for the Jews?
Is it only for the Jews?
Is it only for the Jews?
Is it only for the Jews?
Is it only for the Jews?
Is it only for the Jews?
Is marriage only for the Jews?
How can only this be for the Jews??
Man did NOT get to see God creating anything, as he was created on the sixth day. He just had to believe by faith that God created it.
Even God did NOT permit Adam to see the creation of his wife. He was put to sleep. But ONLY ONE THING of the creation week our first parents SAW God creating the holy Sabbath, on the Seventh day!
IF AT ALL there was one day of the creation week that was MORE CLEAR to them it was the Seventh day Sabbath creation. They were around when God made it!
The Sabbath is not only a part of the 7-day creation week, but also a part of the 10-commandment law
Most of the Christians have NO PROBLEM with NINE Commandments. The only problem is the FOURTH!
They say
IF God wanted the Sabbath to be only for the Jews He SHOULDN T have inscribed it on stones with the rest of the nine which endures!
John 2:6 purifying of the Jews John 2:13 Jews' passover John 7:2 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles Acts 10:22 the nation of the Jews
Acts 10:39 the land of the Jews Acts 12:11 the people of the Jews. Acts 13:5 the synagogues of the Jews Galatians 1:13 Jews' religion
And NOT even ONCE it s mentioned.
The Lord of the Sabbath Himself said: The sabbath was made for man Mark 2:27 He DIDN T say the Sabbath was made for Jews! It was made for man for mankind, for the human family.
When God had the Jerusalem temple built, he wanted NOT JUST the Jews to come and Worship Him but He meant that it be a worship place for ALL Jew and gentile. Isaiah 56:7 For mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
In the same chapter God talked about the SABBATH the day of worship and pronounced a blessing on the strangers, or gentiles, too, who came to worship Him on the Sabbath!
Isaiah 56:6, 7 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; 7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer
In the New Testament we see the same thing. Many gentiles came to worship God in the Jewish synagogues, on the Sabbath for that was the house of prayer for ALL people.
Acts 13:42, 44 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
So the Sabbath was NOT made ONLY for the Jews as day of worship and rest, BUT for the gentiles as well!
In the earth made new, we see the SAME pattern continue
Isaiah 66:22, 23 For 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.
And it shall come to pass from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. I think all flesh means ALL flesh Jew and gentile, male and female, from every nation kindred, tongue and people!
So the Sabbath Commandment is NOT exclusively Jewish at all, but inclusive of Gentiles as well!
