The Meaning of The Weekly Sabbath
by Rav Sha'ul

 

The Sabbath is a weekly celebration of YHVH’s Plan for His Sons.  That plan is 6,000 years of “labor” then a 1,000 year “Sabbath Rest”. 

The Day of YHVH which is the day of YHVH’s wrath when due to the Transgression of Desolation YHVH destroys the Earth just before the beginning of the 1,000 year Sabbath Rest:

Isaiah 24: 1-6

The Earth is polluted by its inhabitants - They have committed the Transgression of Desolation (transgressed the Torah, changed the Holy Feasts to Christopagan Holidays, and broken the Everlasting Covenant  of the Sabbath changing it to the pagan Sunday) - Therefore the Curse found in the Torah devours the whole Earth, the inhabitants of Earth will be burned up, and few men left.

Speaking of The Day of YHVH, the author of 2 Peter explains that in the prophetic language of YHVH a day is a thousand years as he frames the timeframe for this age from creation until the end of The Plan of YHVH when this Earth is destroyed.  That plan defined by The Sabbath Covenant:

2 Peter 3

3 Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” 5 For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of YHVH the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water (Genesis 1:1), 6 through which the world at that time was destroyed (when Lucifer fell leading a rebellion on Earth), being flooded with water (beginning boundary – creation when after flooding the Earth after the fall of Lucifer; YHVH started over and established The 7-Day Sabbath Covenant). 7 But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men (ending boundary when after the 1,000 year Sabbath Rest YHVH destroys the Earth by fire).

8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with YHVH one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. 9

What Peter is saying is in response to mockers who mock the second coming because it hasn’t occurred yet.  Peter is saying if you understood YHVH’s Plan you would never mock it because the second coming doesn’t occur until the 6,000th year to setup the Sabbath Kingdom.  Peter is explaining that from Genesis 1 through Revelation 22 the 7-Day Sabbath Covenant is a physical to spiritual parallel with each day being a thousand years.  6,000 years we work as YHVH did (labor under the curse of Adam) and the last 1,000 years we enter into YHVH’s Rest (when the curse of Adam is lifted and creation liberated. 

We enter into YHVH’s Rest, The Sabbath Kingdom, only if we keep the 7th Day Sabbath as YHVH did:

Hebrews 4

A Sabbath-Rest for the People of God

1 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands (The Sabbath Covenant is still in effect), let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it (by failing to Keep the Sabbath). 2 For 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 (by keeping The Sabbath we are expressing our faith in The Plan of YHVH and His coming Kingdom that Yahusha will establish that Kingdom in the 6,000th year). 3 Now we who have believed (in Yahusha, King of the Sabbath) enter that rest, 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 (not Sunday and not 1 day in 7 but THE 7th day) in these words: "And on the seventh day God rested from all his work." 5And again in the passage above he says, "They (who do not keep My Sabbath) 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 (Israelites) rest (entering the promised land), God would not have spoken later about another day (the Sabbath Rest is yet to come verse 1). 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 on the 7th Day). 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 (to The Sabbath set by the False Religion of Christianity).

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, in context, we did not keep The Sabbath)

So each week, we celebrate The Sabbath looking forward to Yahusha’s return and the establishment of The Kingdom of YHVH.  It is the sign we display back to YHVH as He looks down upon mankind looking for those who truly believe His Word and take the time to celebrate with Him the coming Kingdom of YHVH. 

If you don’t keep The Sabbath you are a law-breaker (worker of iniquity) by breaking the 4th Commandment.  Those who break The Sabbath Covenant will die and their corpses will be an eternal reminder as those who keep The Sabbath step over their dead bodies to enter The Kingdom of YHVH.  Only those who bear The Sign to the nations (ensigns) and proclaim YHVH’s glory as Creator (The Sabbath is YHVH’s stamp on creation) will enter The Kingdom of YHVH:

Isaiah 66

19 “I will set a sign (the Sabbath is the sign see vs. 23 and keep this in context) among them, and I will send some of those who survive to the nations—to Tarshish, to the Libyans and Lydians, to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant islands that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory. They will proclaim my glory (as Creator) among the nations (how? By displaying THE SIGN to them). 20 And they will bring all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to YHVH… 22  “For just as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making will continue in my presence (The Sabbath is an eternal sign),” says YHVH, “so will your descendants and your name continue. 23  “Every month on Rosh-Hodesh (from month to month) and every week on Shabbat (from week to week), everyone living will come to worship in my presence,” says YHVH. 24  “As they (who bear His Sabbath Sign) leave (from worshipping YHVH on The Sabbath), they will look on the corpses of the people who rebelled against me (in context rebelled against His Sabbath) for their worm will never die, and their fire will never be quenched; but they will be abhorrent to all humanity.”

Next: Yahusha kept the Festivals of Yahuah
