Keeping the Sabbath, the Key to Salvation
by Rav Sha'ul

 

 
What I am teaching you, very simply is The Truth, and you will never get this in the Christian Church.  In Hebrews 4, Paul lays it out very simply.  You must keep The Sabbath or you will not enter into YHVH's Rest which is eternal life:
 

Hebrews 4

A Sabbath-Rest for the People of God
 1 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it (by failing to Keep the Sabbath). 2For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith (Keep the Sabbath in light of the Messiah). 3Now we who have believed enter that rest (Keep the Sabbath in light of faith in the Passover Lamb of YHVH, whose name is Yahusha), just as God has said, 

   "So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.' "And yet his work has been finished since the (re) creation of the world (YHVH Himself kept the Sabbath and commanded we do to, the 4th Commandment). 4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day (Saturday, not Sunday) in these words: "And on the seventh day God rested from all his work." 5And again in the passage above he says, "They shall never enter my rest."

 6 It still remains that some (the remnant sons of YHVH) will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience (to the Sabbath). 7 Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before:
   

"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts. (against His Sabbath)"  8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day (the Sabbath Rest is yet to come). 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his (You must keep the Sabbath just as YHVH did). 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest (by being obedient to The Sabbath), so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience (set by the Christian Church).

 12For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account (for why, we did not keep The Sabbath)

 
Then Paul goes on to teach, that if you don't keep the Sabbath and do and understand the funamental doctrines... you cannot press on as a mature son of YHVH.  He is describing "what" you do on the Sabbath in Hebrews 6:1:
 

Hebrews 6

The Peril of Falling Away
 1Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Messiah (who is the Passover Lamb, resurrected on the Sabbath), let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,  2 of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.  3And this we will do, if God permits.
Paul after clearly stating in Hebrews 4 that keeping the Sabbath is key to salvation, went on in Hebrews 6 to describe the fundamentals which we do on the Sabbath:
 
1. Teaching about the Messiah
Yahusha, that he was sacrificed in AD 30 on the Passover and is the Passover Lamb of YHVH and was resurrected 3 days later on the Sabbath.  He was not crucifed on "Good Friday" and resurrected 2 days later on Sunday... that is a lie.
 
2. Repentance from dead works
which is listed in 1 John as "water", Yahusha said he is the living water.  We are to repent of our sins and dead works and perform works of righteousness which is defined in the Torah.
 
 
Which is clearly defined in 1 John as keeping the Commandments of YHVH, and having faith in the promises YHVH made in His Torah whereby eternal life is promised through faith in The Passover Lamb and obedience to His Commandments as defined in the Torah.
 
4. Instructions about washings and laying on of hands
We are to "wash our hands" as a symbolic act that we dedicate the works of our hands to YHVH.  And as Priest of our homes, we are to lay hands on and bless those who are in our homes keeping the Sabbath.
 
5. Resurrection of the Dead
We are to enter into covenant with YHVH throught the blood of the Lamb.  Meaning we eat unleaved bread as Yahusha said "I am the manna that came down from heaven", and drink wine as Yahusha said "drink of this cup of wine which represents the blood of the the covenant, my blood (I am the Passover Lamb), the wine, represents the Blood of the Passover Lamb, whereby the "certificate of debt" for you sin is covered.
The Certificate of Debt Nailed to the Cross
 
The Certificate of Debt in the Mosaic Covenant WAS nailed to the cross and "abolished".  This is where the confusion is.  False Teachers in the Christian Church today lump all the "terms and conditions" together into the Mosaic Covenant and then lump all the covenants between YHWH and man together into The Torah and in one fail swoop abolished the entire Torah.  When the only thing that WAS abolished was His Decrees against us found in the "terms and conditions" of the Mosaic Covenant called  The Certificate of Debt.  This Certificate of Debt was replaced by the Blood of the Lamb.  Grace replaced The Certificate of Debt.  You see, YHWH included in the Mosaic Covenant at Sinai the following "terms and conditions":
  • His Commandments (10 Commandments)
  • His Laws (Dietary, Priestly, Sacrificial, Ritual Purity, Sacrificial, Judicial, Moral, Agricultural, Business, Sabbatical, Community, Prohibition, Tithes/Offerings, etc.)
  • His Decrees (Judicial Judgments amounting to a Certificate of Debt against us for our disobedience to His Commandments and His Laws)
Let me side track while I am on this topic to go ahead and cover a verse sure to come up in this discussion.  His Decrees were basically judicial judgments for breaking His Commandments and His Laws which amounted to a "Certificate of Debt" we all owed to YHWH.  Which in short required our deaths to pay it back.  Since no one could keep all His Commandments and His Laws... the Certificate of Debt was in effect issued to every man, woman, and child keeping us all in bondage to Sin and Death NOT in bondage to The Torah or His Law or His Commandments.  This is very important!  Because it was this Certificate of Debt consisting of His Decrees against us for our transgression that Paul said was "nailed to the cross" in Col 2:14-16:
Col 2:14-16
"Having canceled out the certificate of debt (levied against humanityconsisting of decrees (penalties for transgressing His Commands and His Laws) against us and which (these decrees which amounted to a certificate of debt) was hostile to us (because we did not keep His Commandments); and YHWH has taken it (the certificate of debt not the Torah) out of the way (sacrificing His Passover Lamb to cover us), having nailed it (the Certificate of Debt... THE DECREES AGAINST US for falling short of His Commandments and His Laws... NOT the entire Torah) to the cross.
You see, YHWH nailed that Certificate of Debt which were His Decrees against us found in the "terms and conditions" of the Mosaic Covenant to the cross and said "PAID IN FULL" by the Blood of the Passover Lamb, Yahusha.  Requiring a New Agreement or New Covenant since now the "terms and conditions" had changed.  He paid the debt we owed for violating His Commands and His Laws.  He didn't nail The Torah OR His Commands OR His Laws to the cross.  He nailed His Decrees to the cross.  And they are not the same things...
Deut. 5
 30 "Go, tell them to return to their tents. 31 But you stay here with me so that I may give you all the commands, decrees and laws you are to teach them to follow in the land I am giving them to possess."
I just wanted to clear that up before I continue.  Demonstrating the Mosaic Covenant is not The Torah.  And the "terms and conditions" of that covenant are separate from the Covenant which is an agreement between two parties to abide by the "terms and conditions" which are His Laws, His Commands, and His Decrees.  And it was ONLY His Decrees that were apposed to us that were abolished.  This is important to your question that we understand the difference as to not be misled.  And ONLY His Decrees against us known as the Certificate of Debt has been abolished.  Nothing else. Everything else (His Laws, His Commandments) strengthened and transposed.  Now back to your original question.
6. Eternal Judgment, the Second Death...
