Jesus as Our Sabbath Rest
In a recent episode of our Bible study series on Hebrews, we covered the idea of Jesus as our Sabbath rest. And it’s stirred up a bit of controversy and a lot of questions, so I wanted to release this stand-alone video that focuses solely on that aspect of Hebrews 4. Because when we understand this idea of Jesus being our ultimate rest, and how that fits into God’s overarching grand story of redemption, it helps us grasp a little more of how gracious God is for doing it this way, and the astounding significance of the work of Christ on our behalf.

Hallelujah! Being surrendered to Jesus Christ and abiding in him has given me rest and peace which passes understanding ❤ If I were not resting in Jesus Christ right now, in this crumbling world, I would be in distress and depressed.
no I didn’t leave the Bible remember in Bible prophecy a day for a year principle which can be found in Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:4-6 this can be seen. If we used literal days then the Bible would be inconsistent with scripture because and the timing would be off. Remember Daniel’s vision didn’t begin until the decree was issued by King Artaxerxes and that’s in Ezra 7 didn’t give that decree until 457 B.C and that began the 2300 days prophecy that ran until 1844 as the was no year 0 BC. Now based off the understanding of beast and kingdoms each beast has a time that it rules( date not given in the Bible but history shows it The Lion-Babylon Bear- medio-persia Leopard-Greece Rome- the dragon beast 1. Time(1) times (2)and dividing of time is (.5)is 3.5 years 3.5 X 360= 1260 days 2. 12 months in a year 42months divided by 12months is equivalent to 3.5 years. 3. There are 30 days inna month 42x30 is 1260 days. Which is showing that it’s the same prophecy being spoken of. 4. The 42 months came to an end when the deadly wound was inflicted which was in 1798. The papal power was formed in AD538 + 1260 years= 1798 when Pope Pius was taken prisoner in France during the French Revolution. The wound is currently healing as the power the papacy once had not yet fully returned as it is healing, when it has fully healed the whole world will marvel after the beast. There’s evidence in the history of the early churches the Waldenses, John Wycliffe Jan Husk, the Ana baptist among 50-100 million other Christians who were killed during that period when the saints were given into its hands and were killed. The Roman church seeked to change Gods times and laws by trying to change Gods seventh day sabbath and instituting Sunday and boasting about it in in the encyclical letter that the church has authority to change the day ( they boast that it is by their ecclesiastical authority and not authority by the Bible that they changed the day ) as well as removing one of the commandments and splitting the 10th in half. Not only that Revelation 13:18 stated ”Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.“ Now the definition of “Anti” doesn’t only mean against but also in place of, instead of or compared with. On the Pope’s Crown there’s marked Vicarius Filli Dei which means Vicar of Christ (Antichrist) since it’s of Roman origin let’s calculate the Number of the beast vicarius filli dei adds up to 666 as clued in by the above Bible text . Not only that the system teaches that the Pope and priest have authority to forgive sins as well as blaspheming themself as God comparing themself to the authority of Christ. Y’all can read about the book about the Roman church crimes in the book Charles Chiniquy 50 years in the Church of Rome as well as look on the stance of the early reformers on why they left it and why they left the new world to inhabit the new world to flee persecution. Martin Luther also stated that the beast was the Roman Catholic Church. Btw I have this as a note that I typed up so y’all can delete this message again and again if you like I’ll just keep on reposting to outst you guys deception.
That’s good…but Sabbath remains a holy day As He hung dead on the cross His death sealed the New Covenant His disciples STILL hurried to keep the Sabbath…Passover too
Wonderful study...It's been a wild ride coming from a Catholic background struggling to keep the heavy burden of the weekly confessions before a priest and knowing deep in my soul that something was very very wrong with that system..but GOD...someone at my work, years ago planted the seed of the gospel. It's taken a long time, but now the veil has been lifted and I have entered that rest that can only come from believing God's grace...the UNMERITED beautiful glorious gospel...I live every day in humble thanksgiving for what He has done for me...There is no power in law keeping...The true power is by faith in the one who started the good work in us and is faithful to finish the work...We are like clay in the potters hand..allowing His Holy Spirit to guide and lead us as we sojourn through this physical life into everlasting life through the promise that he gives us.
Bless you. Great succinct testimony!
Beautifully stated! Blessings, Rob

There remains yet another rests, that is the rest in heaven, now we accept Jesus we have eternal life,1 John 5:11,12. But the rest is yet to be given to those who ovwrcometh. So when Jesus comes the 2and time he will usher in the rest that remains.
Amen
Excellent message. One point that SDAs make to justify sabbath keeping is - they do not keep the sabbath to be justified, but they will lose their justification by not keeping it - and fail to understand it is the same thing.
Well said, Rob! It's exactly the same thing. -The other Rob
I'm not a Seventh-Day adventist, but living in sin is testing the grace of God. Strangely this is addressed in Hebrews as well.
So the same can be said about not stealing or taking the name of the lord in vain or worshipping idols then ? Jesus said if you love me keep my commandments so therefore he is justifying us by works? So that means Jesus is contradicting the Bible then ? Hmmm
@@rebeccajonesy Hebrews is addressed to Hebrews.
We observe God's moral commandments because we are justified, not to stay justified. We do try to keep Christ's two commandments because we love Him . A Christian may suffer temporal consequences if they do something immoral, but will never lose their justification - because it is based on faith in Christ, not what they do. @@javaunpowell925
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” - Matt 11:28-30 Jesus is our rest, not the Sabbath. Jesus gives us rest against all "religion" and showed us that it is about the heart and not the rules.
True. So if we enter the Sabbath without faith and God then we are in disobedience. The whole point we must continue Sabbath but do it in faith.
I don’t see that we “must continue Sabbath”. Rather that through faith in Jesus, all religiosity is abolished. Rest from religion. Rest from the law of Moses even.
Amen... and a Spirit controlled life is a life void of intentional sin. Treating others "as we want to be treated."..for "Love does no wrong to its neighbor.."...
@rebeccajonesy yes, Torah is thy Heart Matter 1 tim 1:5 Now the PURPOSE of the COMMANDMENTS is LOVE from a pure HEART, from a good conscience, and from SINCERE faith, Duet 30 10 if you OBEY the Adonai/LORD your YAH/God and keep his COMMANDS and DECREES that are written in this Book of the .Torah/Law and turn to the Adonai/LORD your God with all your HEART and with all your SOUL. Proverbs 3 3 Let know LOVING commitment ant TRUTH forsake you-bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your HEART. 2 cor 3 3 And you show that you are a letter from Messiah/Christ DELIVERED by us, written not with ink but with the SPIRIT of the living YAH/God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human HEARTS. Psalms 95 10-11 For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose HEARTS go astray, and they have not known My ways. Ezekiel 11 19-20 And I will give them one HEART, and a NEW SPIRIT I will put within them. I will remove the HEART of stone from their flesh and give them a HEART of flesh, that they may walk in "my statutes" and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my "PEOPLES", and I will be their YAH/God. Jer 31 33 But this is the COVENANT that I will make with the HOUSE of ISRAEL after those days, declares the Adonai/Lord: I will put my TORAH within them, and I will write it on their HEARTS. And I will be their YAH/God, and they shall be MY PEOPLES ie YAHisrael. Hebrews 8 7-13 Hebrews 10 16 This is the COVENANT I will make with them after that time, says the Adonai/Lord. I will put my TORAH/ law in their HEARTS, and I will write them on their MINDS.” Daniel 7 28 Hitherto is the END OF THE MATTER. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I KEPT the MATTER in my HEART Eph 6:6 - not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as BONDSERVANTS of Messiah/Christ, doing the WILL of YAH/God from the HEART, Isaiah 56 6-7 And FOREIGNERS who bind themselves to the Adonai/LORD to minister to him, to LOVE the name of the Adonai/LORD, and to be his SERVANTS, all who KEEP THE SABBITH without desecrating it and who hold fast to my COVENANT - these I will bring to my HOLY mountain and give them joy in my HOUSE of prayer. Their burnt offerings and SACRIFICES will be ACCEPTED on my altar; for my HOUSE will be called a house of prayer for all NATIONS.” ~Now you.can understand~ Jeremiah 17-5 Thus says the Adonai/LORD: “Cursed is the man who "TRUST IN MAN" And makes flesh his strength, Whose HEART departs from the Adonai/LORD. Rev 12-17 00 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the COMMANDMENTS of YAH/God, and have the TESTIMONY of YAHshua Humasheoc/Jesus Christ” Rev 14 12 Here is the patience of the Kadosh/qaddish/saints; here are those who keep the COMMANDMENTS of YAH/God and the faith of YAHshua/Jesus Rev 22 14 Blessed are those washing their robes, that their right will be to the TREE OF LIFE, and they shall enter into the CITY BY THE GATES. ECC 12 13 When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: FEAR YAH/GOD and KEEP His COMMANDMENTS, because this is the WHOLE DUTY OF MAN.
So, you are content with a 7 day working week then? @@gregmahler9506

Christian are to walk as HE DID1 John 2:6 (KJV) He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. Luke 4:16 (KJV) 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. 1 John 3:24 (KJV) And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. 1 John 2:4 (KJV) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
What a beautiful message about Jesus being our Sabbath rest. When I had learned about this upon leaving Adventism, I was moved. It was like discovering a missing piece to a puzzle. Everything then clicked and started to make sense.
if jesus is your rest regarding the 4th commandment is he also your rest for the 5th 6th 7th commandment - your logic is demon inspired...sorry - don't let deceivers deceive you
How quickly the Pharisees come in to say… Jesus is good, but the Law is where it’s at 🤯 keep pushing into the love of Christ and live in that place. That’s where fruit and power for life and Godliness comes from and that’s the place we obey from
@@DavidKing-qd3sp I’m not at all surprised by your vitriol nor inability to comprehend the gospel and what it means to enter into Christ’s rest because 1st Corinthians 1:18 says, “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are being destroyed. But it is the power of God for those of us who are being saved.” People like you love to use the 4th commandment like a club to hammer over the heads of others, but never ever mention nor have that same energy for John 13:34: A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another. And Romans 13:8-10: Don’t be in debt to anyone, except for the obligation to love each other. Whoever loves another person has fulfilled the Law. The commandments, “Don’t commit adultery, don’t murder, don’t steal, don’t desire what others have,” and any other commandments, are all summed up in one word: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.” Love doesn’t do anything wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is what fulfills the Law.
@@DavidKing-qd3sp What’s actually demonic is you relying on your own works to save you. Galatians 3:10-11 says, “All those who rely on the works of the Law are under a curse, because it is written, “Everyone is cursed who does not keep on doing all the things that have been written in the Law scroll” But since no one is made righteous by the Law as far as God is concerned, it is clear that “the righteous one will live on the basis of faith.” My convictions are also supported by 2nd Corinthians 5:17-21, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Galatians 3:23-25, “But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.” Romans 6:14-15, “Sin will have no power over you, because you aren’t under Law but under grace. So what? Should we sin because we aren’t under Law but under grace? Absolutely not!” Galatians 3:23-25, “But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.” Galatians 3:5-6, “So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

@@pierreferguson5257 Roman's 3: 31
Paul was a convert that was raised under the Jewish law, which is the Law of Moses. That consists of the Ten Commandments as well as other performances. He was preaching to those that were also converts. How ever they were all followers of Jesus Christ and Paul was preaching Jesus Christ. As such the law would be the one given by Jesus Christ which was a higher law than the Law of Moses. Because it is a higher law and not a replacement law then the lesser law is still applicable. Whereas it was their custom to do circumcisions but not a law under Jesus’ teachings that was one where they were continuing it as a matter of tradition though it wasn’t required. Paul appears to have been incorporating both laws, the Old and New Covenants. Remember that the New Covenant laws and commandments are contained in the Sermon on the Mount.

Study your bible carefully, alot things is missing in this presentation
Nice explanation of the Sabbath and its purpose and foreshadowing of that which is to come. We also have rested from our works, trying to be obedient to the law. We esteem everyday a rest, not just one day a week. Hallelujah, praise be to our Father, Who has offered a rest to us, to cease from our works! Hebrews 4: 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His. Roman’s 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Colossians 2: 16 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: Mark 2: 27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

@@FishermensCorner This is the problem of mainstream Christianity, they are confused. They are against the law, yet they try to keep the 9 commandments, and the one who will really bring them into a relationship with God, they reject it. They do not understand the role of the law. It not only points out sin, but is also the moral standard of a Christian.
@SHROUDEDINLOVE HEBREWS 4:1-2,9-11 , " 1.Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2.For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 9.There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. THE ONES ENTERING INTO JESUS REST OR HIS KINGDOM OF 1000 YEARS , WILL BE THE ONES IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION , OR THE 144,000 ISRAELITES IN REVELATIONS 7 &14 . THE ISRAELITES IN THE WILDERNESS WILL NOT BE IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION BECAUSE THEY DID NOT BELIEVE ( KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS ) . THE REST IS SALVATION , COMPLETING THE WORDS FROM THE BEGINNING . ROMANS 14:5-6 , 5.One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. HOW DO YOU ESTEEM A DAY TO THE LORD ? 1. BY OBSERVING THE SABBATH , THE DAY OF REST THAT HE COMMANDS YOU TO . 2. BY PRAYING AND FASTING , WHICH CAN BE ON ANY DAY . ( ISAIAH 58:3-6 , 3.Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. 4Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. 5Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? 6Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? ) PAUL IS NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SABBATH , BUT PRAYING AND FASTING TO THE LORD : ONE MAN ESTEEM ONE DAY OVER ANOTHER . COLOSSIANS 2:16 , 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: WHAT WAS THE ISRAELITES REQUIRED TO DO DAILY , NEW MOON , SABBATH ( WEEKLY ) , HOLYDAY ( FEAST SABBATHS ) , UNDER THE MEDIATOR MOSES , THROUGH THE LEVITICUS PRISTHOOD ? THEY WERE REQUIRED TO MAKE SACRIFICES AND OBLATIONS ( MEAT / DRINK OFFERINGS ) ; NUMBERS 28 & 29 ; PLEASE READ IT . WHAT CHANGED UNDER THE MEDIATOR JESUS CHRIST ? DANIEL 9:27 , And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. MARK 2:27-28 , 27.And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. WHO MADE THE SABBATH FOR MAN ? THE ONE WHO CREATED MAN , WHICH IS THE WORD THAT BECAME FLESH ; WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST . IF YOU MOTHER MAKE A MEAL FOR YOU , WHAT DO YOU EXPECT SHE WANT YOU TO DO ?

@umabrijmohun6720 The Sabbat commandment said to work 6 days and rest the seventh. If Jesus is your Sabbath (if you say Sabbath rest, that is pleonasm), when are you working then? In the commandment there is a distinction between the physical work and rest, how do you apply that to the spiritual aspect as well? Does that mean that you will work your salvation 6 days and on the seventh you let Jesus work? And then remain the question, how do you explain instituting the Sabbath during the creation week when there was no sin? How is then the Sabbath a symbol of the rest in Jesus?
@@salpezzino7803 There is nothing wrong with that commandment -- not as long as you don't try to make it a test of salvation. Or something other than a shadow pointing to Jesus Christ, in whom is found "the reality" (Colossians 2:17).

@@vusimngomezulu2500 The world doesn't have 'the true church'. The True Church is each name written in His Book of Life, anyone abiding in Jesus Christ. Loving God is the key. How do you know God? Prayerfully reading His Word diligently to know Him and learning of His loving nature and following HIs Ways, Truth and Love. Abiding in Jesus is how we become One with God. The book of John is a great start. If you love Jesus, you will want to follow His commandments (John 14). His Life is dwelling in you by the Holy Spirit. Faith is all that is required to begin the journey of getting to know Jesus Christ. After the rich young man walked away sad that he couldn't give up his riches to follow Jesus the disciples asked Jesus 'Who then can be saved?' Jesus replied 'With men it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.' His love and grace saves a lost sinner seeking to know Him out of a loving desire. Praise God
Thanks Prof. Solberg, indeed Jesus is the true and ultimate rest, praise the Lord
No that's not what it says at all. Jesus brings us rest, whether it be a creation by being the creator, whether it be our high priest or whether it bringing us to the promised land later. He's not "true ultimate rest", he brings us to it.
With respects , you are wrong to abandon GOD ordained Sabbath . It has stood since Jesus,followers,the apostles.and their students the church father's days fr over 2000 years.. Now all of a Sudden your new age theology disregards what All they taught, disregards all the theologians in the time who have agreed with Jesus apostles, and then confirmed it with scripture fr 2000 years. Here in UK Augustine brought Christianity with Sabbath keeping too 1500 years ago,and we kept it ever since,all backed up by all the worlds reputable theologians,bible scholars..We even had banned trading to honour Sabbath..Unto 40 years ago,when we relaxed it . Despite all that proof ,evidence, that they got scripture correctly interpreted, and further evidence Jesus ,followers,apostles, apostles students the church father's kept Sabbath too , you believe the Sabbath has been done away with..and that fr the past 2000 years everyone I mentioned got it wrong.. That's a big gamble to take ,putting your faith in this new age modern theology of the 21st century..Please do reconsider..As Mr Solberg has not got correct Hermeneutical context to what he states..GOD Bless🙏
How can a prof INTERPRET this so WRONG. In all due respect, these titles has an insidious intensions. It is to shut the common man from questioning them because of the title. Sorry the Bible says Isaiah 8:20 (KJV) To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this word, it is BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIGHT IN THEM🙏 God can forgive only if we humble ourselves

@@Mikhael1964 yes, I told you repent so you you claim something different… what a fraud! Weak fraud… 1 Corinthians 2:15… so you are indoctrinated into law, grace is of no benefit to you! Abraham did not keep the Sabbath yet he was called righteous by God, you cannot understand because you know not God!!
Always a blessing to listen to you Mr solberg . Shalom!!!
Good word bro!! And that was a good revelation about God with us to bring about His will!!
Amen brother. To God be all the Glory for your great teaching
That is exactly where all the glory belongs! Blessings, RLS
@TheBiblicalRoots I know you stole my format. I know you watched my video. I want you, Myle, Sam and one other person, and we can hash out Hebrews 4, in its totality. It needs to be a live in person debate at Myles alma mater in collegedale.
@@FishermensCorneruntil you get the real Jesus you're never going to understand this.
@@JamieElison we've already established that you're not christian. So I'm not too worried about your witness.
@@FishermensCorner except that Jesus is not with you to establish that. He would have to know who you are first. And you said he's the devil in the investigative judgment.
It's unusual for me to agree about the Bible but I agree this time.
That to bad you agree with Man's Religion and Not with thy word itself. For Torah is thy Heart Matter we are to enter. Follow Messiah. HES our Exanple. And this is the Heart Journey. 1 tim 1:5 Now the PURPOSE of the COMMANDMENTS is LOVE from a pure HEART, from a good conscience, and from SINCERE faith, Duet 30 10 if you OBEY the Adonai/LORD your YAH/God and keep his COMMANDS and DECREES that are written in this Book of the .Torah/Law and turn to the Adonai/LORD your God with all your HEART and with all your SOUL. Proverbs 3 3 Let know LOVING commitment ant TRUTH forsake you-bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your HEART. 2 cor 3 3 And you show that you are a letter from Messiah/Christ DELIVERED by us, written not with ink but with the SPIRIT of the living YAH/God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human HEARTS. Psalms 95 10-11 For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose HEARTS go astray, and they have not known My ways. Ezekiel 11 19-20 And I will give them one HEART, and a NEW SPIRIT I will put within them. I will remove the HEART of stone from their flesh and give them a HEART of flesh, that they may walk in "my statutes" and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my "PEOPLES", and I will be their YAH/God. Jer 31 33 But this is the COVENANT that I will make with the HOUSE of ISRAEL after those days, declares the Adonai/Lord: I will put my TORAH within them, and I will write it on their HEARTS. And I will be their YAH/God, and they shall be MY PEOPLES ie YAHisrael. Hebrews 8 7-13 Hebrews 10 16 This is the COVENANT I will make with them after that time, says the Adonai/Lord. I will put my TORAH/ law in their HEARTS, and I will write them on their MINDS.” Daniel 7 28 Hitherto is the END OF THE MATTER. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I KEPT the MATTER in my HEART Eph 6:6 - not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as BONDSERVANTS of Messiah/Christ, doing the WILL of YAH/God from the HEART, Isaiah 56 6-7 And FOREIGNERS who bind themselves to the Adonai/LORD to minister to him, to LOVE the name of the Adonai/LORD, and to be his SERVANTS, all who KEEP THE SABBITH without desecrating it and who hold fast to my COVENANT - these I will bring to my HOLY mountain and give them joy in my HOUSE of prayer. Their burnt offerings and SACRIFICES will be ACCEPTED on my altar; for my HOUSE will be called a house of prayer for all NATIONS.” ~Now you.can understand~ Jeremiah 17-5 Thus says the Adonai/LORD: “Cursed is the man who "TRUST IN MAN" And makes flesh his strength, Whose HEART departs from the Adonai/LORD. Rev 12-17 00 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the COMMANDMENTS of YAH/God, and have the TESTIMONY of YAHshua Humasheoc/Jesus Christ” Rev 14 12 Here is the patience of the Kadosh/qaddish/saints; here are those who keep the COMMANDMENTS of YAH/God and the faith of YAHshua/Jesus Rev 22 14 Blessed are those washing their robes, that their right will be to the TREE OF LIFE, and they shall enter into the CITY BY THE GATES. ECC 12 13 When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: FEAR YAH/GOD and KEEP His COMMANDMENTS, because this is the WHOLE DUTY OF MAN.
Pure Gospel... Thank you Jesus
Thank you for this! And for Hebrews pt 6. Both are so good and insightful. However, I know what my mother (as a HR type follower) would say. 1. Her group focuses on how God “blessed the 7th day” at creation. That day is special above all others and is the true day of worship. Never mind that in the OT sacrifices were made daily in the temple, and in NT believers met daily house to house and in the temple. So it’s not only that He rested after creation, but more importantly, He blessed the 7th day. To me, everyday is a great day to worship! And we should. But I can’t convince my mother of that. 😢 2. The use of sabbatismos for rest (which remains) in Hebrews 4:9 instead of katapausis which is used every other time in the passage. She says this means the 7th day Sabbath remains because of the use of the different greek word. I see the author’s intention plain as day. But to a Sabbath keeper with blinders on, they only see the word “sabbatismos” as proof positive for keeping it and neglect the content of the passage. I haven’t read any comments, so I apologize if this has already been addressed.
There were "sabbatismos" on different days other than the 7th, not to mention the 7th year Sabbath, which I've yet to hear anyone keeping.
Hi Jennifer! We discussed the word "sabbatismos" in part 6 of our Hebrews Bible study: "So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his." (Heb. 4:9) The writer says, “so then.” He’s introducing the conclusion of his argument. He says, “there remains a Sabbath rest.” And this is important because it introduces the Greek word σαββατισμός (sabbatismos) which isn’t found anywhere else in the Bible. In fact, this is the first occurrence of that word in all of Greek literature. Which is why some scholars believe the author of Hebrews coined that the term himself. So how are we to understand this “Sabbath rest” that remains? We can glean a lot from the context. Throughout this passage, he’s been laboring the idea of entering God’s rest, which is a rest that is _in_ God and its also a possession _of_ God. It’s God’s rest. And we enter it by faith. This is the Sabbath rest, the sabbatismos, that he’s speaking of. He’s not talking about a repeated weekly Shabbat, or even a physical rest from labor and activity, but rather a spiritual rest from works. The “Sabbath rest that remains” is the soul rest that we find in Jesus who said: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, (leave your works behind) and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." (Matt. 11:28-29) Blessings! Rob

Excellent! I’ve always believed the death penalty for the Mosaic command was clue number one that it pointed to our faith and belief in Christ! Great video, well explained!
Wow theres alot of so call Christians that dont know the difference between Gods law and Moses law Gods law was written by the finger of God and placed inside the ArkExodus 40:20 (KJV) And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark: the testimony is the ten commandments that was written by the finger Of God Exodus 31:18 (KJV) And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God. Law of Moses Deuteronomy 31:24-26 (KJV) And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. Thats the difference whenever law is mentioned you must know the difference you cant mix them up for eg. Matthew 5:17-18 (KJV) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Jesus is refering to Gods law. Colossians 2:16 (KJV) 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: the teacher quoted this one these are not in the ten commandments but in Moses law about feasts, these we dont have to keep they were of things to come which pointed at Jesus Numbers 29:39 (KJV) These things ye shall do unto the LORD in your set feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.1 Chronicles 23:31 (KJV) And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD: these were the ones that Paul was referring to that in Moses book of the law Happy studying and the prof speaking and missed this im very sad for every thats being by it
Amen bro!
A Sabbatarian I knew had an ingenious interpretation on Colossians 2. "Let no one judge you about ... Sabbaths..." means let no one judge you because you DO keep theses things. You can't win for losing.
I have a serious question that hopefully can be answered, “Remember the Sabbath” isn’t just a mosaic law in the Old Covenant it is a part of the 10 commandments, but we don’t do away with the other 9, we uphold them, so how is it now that we are no longer required to uphold this one command in light of Jesus’s statement? Especially when we as Christians still abide under the other 9 commandments, are we picking and choosing? Are only 9 meant for Christians and all 10 meant for the Israelites? Please lol someone help i am stuck on this. (if you can answer the points in this question directly it would be a great help, thanks!)

Hi, Soldier! The 10 Commandments were given as the foundation of the Old Covenant law. As I see it, those Commandments do not apply to Christians today *in the context they were given to Israel.* In other words, we don't honor our parents "so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you" (Exod. 20:12). And we don't impose the death penalty on someone who breaks the seventh day Sabbath.The Bible says: "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ." (Col. 2:16-17) That said, the principles _behind_ the Ten Commandments still very much apply to Christians. In fact, 9 of the 10 Commandments are repeated and taught in the New Testament. (The Sabbath is not). The Bible teaches that we are not required to keep the seventh day Sabbath _as it was given_ in the Law of Moses. (We can if we want, of course...just not the death penalty part!) But I believe the principle behind the Sabbath is still to be kept: setting aside a regular time of rest to remember, thank, and worship God and be with family. Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Ah! God Bless You! For taking the time to reply and provide context! I appreciate it & the work you’re doing for the body! I will dig deeper into these passages but what you’ve shared with me does make sense! Thank you Rob.
@thebiblicalroots should know of all the Sabbaths worshipped by the Jewish nation. Can you not see that Paul called it “ a Sabbath” not the Sabbath. Please do not be so quick to undo the word of life given us by Jesus. You do not have it correct my friend. Please, I beg you, ask the Lord to show you and He will do just that as He said for us to Seek and we would find..ask and it will be given onto you..knock and the door would be opened. Be diligent and genuine in seeking for the Truth. Set yourself aside to hear His instruction. Obey His voice for He is our Father and Redeemer.
@@TheBiblicalRoots yes you even concur that Paul wrote “these ARE a shadow” still present tense as still binding What? Sabbath not continued? How about winters? Matt 24:20 No other commandment was to be prayed for its keeping during the future times of trouble when His followers had to flee. He did not instruct “pray that your flight be not interrupting your not killing not adulterating or not looting” even but that “pray your flight be not on the Sabbath” as fleeing that is running for your life with everything you can carry breaks that holy rest…
We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18. We are come instead to the new covenant of Mount Zion and the blood of Jesus in Hebrews 12:22-24.
A new covenant He sealed with His death and STILL His disciples hurried to keep the Sabbath according to the commandment says Luke…and the Passover
@@makenoimage They had been trying to keep the Law of Moses their whole lives. However, only Christ kept it perfectly. Traditions are hard to overcome. This is the reason the Book of Hebrews was necessary. What percentage of a person's salvation comes from what Jesus did at Calvary, and what percentage comes from what the sinner does?
@@SpotterVideo indeed! Hebrew was necessary chapter 9:16-17 specifically states this New Covenant went into place at His death…having been both taught and demonstrated prior His sealing it on the cross…His disciples STILL hurried to keep the Sabbath according to the commandment says Luke…even Passover And because as Paul makes clear no changes are possible after testator of testament is dead Gal 3:10 We uphold/establish the Law because we inherited His kingdom Israel by our faith. Such Grace should be taken care of and comes with an owner’s manual…with Manufacturer’s suggested default settings. Nothing added by man’s tradition or special council after decades of doctrinal development
@@makenoimage How do you keep the Sabbath day perfectly?
@@SpotterVideo we don’t…we try…we fail all the time…but we WANT to please Him His way because He loved us first…and demonstrated His way what matters is we repent to try again…practice to get it right…we are never perfect…duh and He provides the balance of our short comings as role of the high priest to this worship In Him the Father’s wrath passes over us…
This is absolutely correct. Jesus is our rest, and he is the Prince of Peace. There can be no rest if we don't have peace. And the only true peace is being in Christ. When a Christian understands this, then you will see that Psalm 122 is not praying for natural Jerusalem to have peace from war. It is really praying that they will know the prince of peace and find their rest in Him. When they do come to believe in the Prince of Peace and become born again, then they will enter into rest. The same as any non-believer. Verse 9 says Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good. We need to ask ourselves the question, where is Gods house now? It is in the hearts of born-again believers. So then born-again believers become the new covenant spiritual Jerusalem(city of peace) that the Prince of Peace dwells in and we find rest in Him. Thank you Jesus
Amen 🙌
😮 Synchronicity! I literally just finished reading Chapter 12 "Keep The Sabbath" in your "Torahism" book (I mean I JUST put the bookmark in, closed it & set it down!) before hopping on YT to see what was new on your channel 👀🤭😂😂😂
this verse can be used in so many ways it is astounding They didn't obey God so they didn't enter. So now we should not obey to get in? haha
He clearly saw my testimony that I uploaded. He specifically leaves out Matthew 12 which corresponds to Hebrews 4:9. We have to have faith to come into the sabbath. God's rest is a requirement for proper Sabbath keeping.
@@FishermensCorner kzhead.infoJDbfiZ19Wwc?si=-c9PjH4bZ4E1sJ3Z
Good question!
They didn't enter in because of unbelief.
The message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. Now we who have believed 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 creation of the world. For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: 'And on the seventh day God rested from all his work.' And again in the passage above he says, 'They shall never enter my rest.' "It still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience. 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.' "For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience." This passage in Hebrews makes it clear that Sabbath is bigger than time. God has declared another Day for us to enter Sabbath rest. We enter it whenever we accept the finished work of Christ. As the above passage points out, those who heard the gospel but did not accept it with faith "shall never enter my rest." But God, the author continues, has been finished with his work since the creation of the world. "And on the seventh day God rested from all his work." That is Hebrews 4:4 quoting Genesis 2:2. It's interesting to notice that the statement above is a declaration of fact. It is not a command to anyone. Now, since Jesus has mended the sin-generated tear in the universe that separated us from God, we can again be one with Him through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Now we can enter the Sabbath-rest of Christ's finished work. We enter the eternal Sabbath rest which God entered at the creation of the world. We no longer have to live like strangers. We are God's, and He is intimate with us. We no longer need a time-bound reminder to honor God and our redeemer. A time-bound holy day is antithetical to an eternal, real, living oneness with God. Accepting Christ puts our souls in touch with eternity. It's not just a metaphor or a symbol; the indwelling Holy Spirit gives us eternal life now. We are living in rest, worship, and intimacy with Him now and we will forever!
So the seventh day is not the Sabbath unless YOU elect to do it that way. It's strange that Christians manage to do Sunday every week, but Saturday is out of the question. Then we have the "any day can be your sabbath". So how would that work? How would you get the Assembly together if everyone has a different day? Is it shift work? I'll do Tuesday, you do Thursday, he'll take Saturday, and she'll do Sunday and we'll get the job done.
After the command was given, there was no temple, no synagogue system. They sat in their tents. Later in the cities it was different of course, but is it really so difficult to imagine the concept of: Stay home & rest?
What about norway, alaske, russia do they have thé exact weekly cycle liké u?
Hello, Paul. I think you're conflating the Christian's Sunday worship tradition with the Old Covenant Sabbath command. That command says nothing about gathering the assembly together or worshiping. It was simply a command to rest from your labor. "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy." (Exod. 20:8-11) Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Well ok. If everyone is resting on the same day from labor, wouldn't that make it also an ideal time to assemble? Do we not have Ezekiel 46:1-3 showing assembling on the Sabbath? Do we not have God in Leviticus and Numbers instructing the priest to make offerings on the Sabbath morning and evening. We have Jesus and Paul going every Sabbath. We have the Apostles in Acts instructing new believers to go every Sabbath and hear Moses read so they can understand how to live righteously. So we have these examples, yet I do not see any strong examples for everyone to do what they want when they want. Again, how is the 'Body' one if it is scattered?
@@paulwiederhold7629 hi there...👋 mark 2 23And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. 24And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? 25And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? 26How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? 27And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. There's a scripture that is vital to us as the body of Christ. To rightly divide the word of truth. Separating the old from the new. Before Jesus's ministry, during Jesus earthly ministry and now after his death burial and resurrection. Remember Jesus came for the lost sheep of Israel. For his earthly ministry. He was preaching and teaching to those who were still under the law of Moses.....Vital to understand this division of scripture... We now have access to salvation through the revelation of the mystery given to Paul directly from Jesus. This is how we rightly divide the word of God. The answer to your question is that when we try to approach God's mosaic law by simply trying to keep the law without faith, we are becoming just like the Pharisees. The point of the whole law is to show us God's holiness and our need for God. If you read the book of Romans, in context, you will see the whole plan of gods law being distributed to the Jews and now that Jesus has died and finished the work, to us gentiles. Everything we do has to be approached by faith not law keeping or we miss the whole point. Every man must have a good conscience towards God in Christ Jesus. Therefore, arguing about keeping the sabbath and which day and how to keep it is all flesh. We now live in the spirit. Everything is new we have become a new creation. The old has passed away. Now we worship him in spirit and in truth. When we gather together to worship now in the body of Christ (where two or more gathered together ) these are our spiritual sacrifices Which are now pleasing to God only because it is approached by faith . If a Christian chooses to keep the sabbath just because they want to set aside that day as a day of worship for God then so be it, but not to prove anything or gain anything from God. The work is finished. This is the rest that the video is talking about all through the New Testament. That's why the Bible tells us about the freedom that we have in Christ. Those the son sets free, he is free indeed. God bless. This took a while for me to understand coming from a Catholic background. But praise God I am able to rest in him the rest He promises to all that believe the truth and he is producing fruit as he gives me power to preach the gospel.
Amen 🙏🏼 great video brother

Keeping or observing the weekly 7th day Sabbath really shouldn’t be controversial at all. Here’s why ... It is this very special day that our Creator rested on, blessed, hallowed and sanctified (Gen. 2:2,3; Exo. 20:11) at the creation of our world and asks us to keep holy and celebrate every week as a memorial of His awesome creative power. This day that God calls “My holy day” and that we His people should call a delight and honorable (Isa. 58:13) clearly means a lot to God so it should mean a lot to us. He enshrined it in the very heart of His great 10 commandment moral law which is the only part of the Bible that God directly wrote with His finger on tables of stone signifying its permanence (Exodus 31:18). The weekly 7th day Sabbath was so holy and precious to Jesus that He not only taught the people what was and wasn’t lawful to do on this day (Matt. 12:12) but He encouraged His followers to pray for decades after His death and resurrection that when they needed to flee from tribulation they wouldn’t have to do so on the holy Sabbath (Matt. 24:20). And then again Jesus' grief stricken disciples after His crucifixion knowing His sacred regard for the Sabbath which they shared postponed the embalming of His body until after the Sabbath. As Luke reports on it many years later in Luke 23:56 "Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment." This confirms that the Sabbath is indeed 1 of God's commandments in His "holy, just and good" law (Romans 7:12). This blessed day is so special to God that He promises when He recreates a spectacular brand new world for the redeemed of all nations, “all flesh” will come together every Sabbath to worship and praise Him (Isa 66:23). So let’s in loving obedience to Jesus our God and Creator enjoy and celebrate Him by receiving the special blessing He offers everyone who keeps His holy day (Isa. 58:14). The weekly 7th day Sabbath is a wonderful gift to all of us because it's special, set apart relationship time with our Creator and Redeemer which is why Jesus said "The Sabbath was made (created) for mankind" (Mark 2:27). And if you have any doubt that Jesus wants His saved by grace people to obey His commandments including the 4th commandment 7th day Sabbath out of love for Him and because they are saved you only need to read the following verses: John 14:15 - If you love Me keep My commandments. Ecclesiastes 12:13 - Fear God and keep His commandments for this is the whole duty of man. 1 Corinthians 7:19 - Keeping the commandments of God is what matters. Matthew 5:19 - Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. 1 John 5:3 - For this is the love of God that we keep His commandments and His commandments are not burdensome. Revelation 14:12 - Here is the patience of the saints who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 12:17 - And the dragon was enraged with the woman and went to make war with the rest of her offspring who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 22:14 - Blessed are those who do His commandments that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city. May God bless you all as you open your heart to His leading on this important test of our willingness to obey Him in all things.
This is pure gold. I'll take this over Solberg's apologetical twisting of Hebrews 3-4 and the rest of Scripture any day. Those listening to Rob and following him should bear this in mind - if an interpretation of Hebrews 3-4 leads people to violate or set aside one of the 10 commandments (yes, including the 4th), then that interpretation is false, full stop.
That is absolutely beautiful... but not nearly as beautiful as taking all the energy and focus placed upon a day... and directing all of the excerted attention to the Lord of that day, for one is a shadow, but the other, the Source of the shadow
We ARE "keeping" the sabbath if we rest in Christ, and hence, we are not cherry picking the 4th commandment as one to ignore when we do not set aside a day.
@@Graacie1111 Let me demonstrate for you on a real practical, relational level how nonsensical your argument is here. There is a particular day that is set apart, out of all the other 364 days of the year. It's not treated as a common day, but has been sanctified because on it my wife and I began our covenantal marriage together. Thus, that day is now every year a memorial celebration and remembrance of the day we made vows. It's a holy convocation. Imagine now, that my wife decides that this repetitive observance and focus on a day is no longer important because she reasons that she already thinks about me throughout the year. Or imagine that I did the same. That would be to take what is sanctified, and treat it as profane or common. How dishonoring to the other would that be? The whole point of keeping that day as sanctified is so that you CAN revisit and commune together around that sanctifying event. AND the whole point of keeping that day as sanctified is because it's a rehearsal that keeps you connected to and prepared for the future consummation of the marriage super of the Lamb (the feast of Sukkot reherses this as well). If something points to something else to come, then you continue to observe and rehearse it so that when the thing it points to comes, you will recognize it and be ready for it. THAT'S what the Sabbath is, and that's why we are commanded to keep it holy. Ironically, your argument teaches people to neglect the prophetic rehearsal and disqualify themselves from the good things to come (which Paul in Colossians 2 told us specifically NOT to do). There is no life in your man-made tradition of disregarding YHWH's Sabbath. As our Master taught "if you want to enter eternal life, keep the commandments".
@@casparjw Is this how you "celebrate" anniversary with your wife? "... some basic activities from which we refrain on Shabbat: - writing, erasing, and tearing; - business transactions; - driving or riding in cars or other vehicles; - shopping; - using the telephone; - turning on or off anything which uses electricity, including lights, radios, television, computer, air-conditioners and alarm clocks; - cooking, baking or kindling a fire; - gardening and grass-mowing; - doing laundry"
Every time I see your post, I'm amazed at how you miss the mark, I see my other comments have been deleted as well...I'll just say one thing... you are reading COLOSSIANS 2:16-17 wrong... Paul sentences run long, a lot so if you don't understand this, it can lead you to be confused.. peep this (Geneva and KJV 1611) V16....Let no man therefore judge you...(THE OUTSIDE WORLD, UNGODLY PPL) 1. in meat, 2. or in drink, 3. or in respect of an Holy day, 4. or of the New moone, 5. or of the Sabbath days: 6. Which are a shadow of things to come,(Things to ""COME"") V17....but the body of Christ.... and the body of christ(church) keeps GOD'S WORD (IS was inserted for reading flow, unfortunately in this case and many others it makes things complicated) sooo basically... "Let no man(UNGODLY MAN) therefore judge you......but the church." which celebrated and kept all GOD'S, YES GOD'S holy days and sabbaths.. how can you bypass our LORDS days but happily celebrate man's traditions and holidays which is mentioned several times not to partake in??... Any who so... Paul was not abolishing God’s law lol, but supporting it. (remember YAH said the LAWS were not getting abolished ppl)
What is the Gospel? What does it mean to be born again? How do you know you were born again? What is your testimony?
@@kimartist Hey Kim, good morning! Now that’s a question I can answer, as I stated a few days ago I wasn’t talking law with you anymore, but the response would be rather long, def. Entertaining and educational lol but too long to comment. So In short, I live for Christ 100% I aim to be PREFECT as it’s required of us (Matthew 5:48) And only possible when you accept Christ and are born again… (a lot of ppl read Paul’s writings not realizing in some verses he’s speaking of how doing the law before accepting Christ was hard and only led to death, I’m at his next point where I understand GODS GRACE and true righteousness, but also realize sin is still here. Did Christ defeat sin, yes! NOW WE’RE ABLE TO REPENT “WHEN WE SIN” AND HAVE OUR RECORD OF SINS WASHED AWAY. ) It’s funny the other comment said I was “dammed” for striving to live a life without SIN but anywho… That’s all I’ll add to this comment.. Have a lovely day, you can email me if you have any questions or anything or just want to talk. ❤

But you? Oh no it's all LOLs & happy talk & so-glad-to-meet-you & let's-do-lunch like life is just a sunny walk in the park with flitting butterflies & blooming flowers & keeping a few commandments is easy-peasy & won't-you-join-me on the Law-Law-Land Choo-Choo-Train to the Good Life?

@@TheBiblicalRoots 1000$ challenge..... Post the actual verse where Jesus says he is now our Sabbath rest..... Exodus 33:14 is Matthew 11:28 .. The word g4521 Sabbath/sabbaton is Not in Matthew 11:28 You're adding to the word. You also subtract. You're lost.
😅Thanks ! Jesus gives us the real rest, nothing more needed !
So you work seven days straight 365?
Rom 14: 5 : One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. This is an amazing declaration that Sabbath is just another 24 hours of its Axis rotation. Let's be reasonable! Do 7th Day Adventist Church really believe our Lord would have leave the burden by keeping a Saturday in a whole world? What is it like to keep a Sabbath worldwide without depending on logistics and millions of workers working on Saturdays to sustain life? Only this SDA religion can come up with such a crazy belief.
Seriously. I have made this point also. The only way Sabbath can work in a global economy is if the intended recipients (Israel) keep it while the rest of the world continues working as normal.
For give this Man Father, for HE knows Not of his speak.. To think of Sabbiths as burden means "missing thy Mark" And darkness falls apon HIS land... For Harden Hearts do not seek sight nor Wisdom. For prayers of thy lawless are an abomination to YOUR ears.. BuT FATHER if he seek sight , looks for Wisdom please give Him a bit of your Light, insert Your Spirt of being Holy ie SET APART.
Amen!!!
That's incorrect ..Colossians 2 and Romans 14 are not adequate proofs to prove the abrogation of the 4th Commandment. The sabbaths spoken of in Colossian 2 are part of the ceremonial law and not the moral law. The Jewish ceremonial calendar had many New Moon and sabbaths other than the weekly Sabbath. By using this phrase in Colossians 2, Paul is clearly referring to the ceremonial Sabbaths and not the Sabbath that is commanded in the Decalogue. Hosea 2:11, clearly referring to the ceremonial aspects of the Old Covenant, contains this same three-part formulation of “feast days, new moons…sabbaths” that is also found in Colossian 2:16. This three-part phrase refers to the special feast and Sabbath days in the Jewish calendar. It is not referring to the weekly Sabbath. Likewise, I Chron. 23:31; 2 Chron 2:4; 8:13; 31:3; Nehemiah 10:33, and Isaiah 1:13-14 all contain this common phrase, again clearly referring to ceremonial law and not the weekly Sabbath...GOD bless🙏
Have you read Dr Steve Daily's Elena White psychobiography book? Trust me you will be out this organization unless you have a personal -financial interest with them. You use the supposed biblical verses to prove the existence of a Sabbath that rotates on its own axis 24 hours, without understanding the essence of what the Sabbath means in the new creation, you are stuck in a doctrine, exactly as the Jews argued with the law without understanding the essence of it. This is the one million question. If the Sabbath of a 24-hour rotation on its own axis is the entire culmination of the eternal gospel, how come it is not said in the Bible. If you hold on, look for the verses to hypothesize the Sabbath? Can you do the same to demonstrate the mark of the beast is the Sunday in the Bible? Why doesn't the final verdict of Matthew 25: 34-40 say "that as many as you did not keep my Sabbath and did not pay my tithes, will you go to eternal fire"? Is this what it says? Before going to Romans chapter 14 you have to get rid of all the theories, assumptions and the vast science fiction of Ellen White, if you are able..., can you understand what Paul is saying? Did you know a prophet in the Bible with 2000 visions? This prophetess who walked through heaven vacationing with Jesus and angels, didn't John the apostle almost die just from seeing Jesus in a revelation? Do you think there are giants on Saturn and Jupiter claims to have seen this? Have you read the foolish statements and shrinks of the "Little Flock and the Closed Door"? Only a person with a deranged mind can speak such nonsense and nonsense. Do you think that Pharisaic Judaism was not going to return to the Christian world at the very end of the world today? Here is!!! the SDA fallacies doctrines are exactly the same Pharisaic theology in the times of Jesus and the apostles in the early Church. If you are still hearing what is said on this platforms, it is because you are curious and I have no doubt that you have some internal struggles with Adventist theories. Believe me, it took me a long time to accept that Adventism is absolutely a bondage and cult, I was a SDA apologist ten thousands more than you now, I was about to use a pistol to defend the SDA dogmas. Today, I have more peace and more Bible reading and I feel God's forgiveness that leads me to be closer to Him and an obedience that is in essence love for my neighbor and a God simple and humble servant. Again, according to Romans 14 if you prefer and understand that you should keep the Sabbath go for it, but understand that does not make you holier, it is not required for every christian to do so, it can be any day. As a matter of fact I use (no keep) mostly Sabbaths to pray, read the scripture and listen Pastor Randy to preach from Loma Linda University, but this does not make me absolutely holier. Some commentators called us false teachers because we tell the world to go back to the Holy Bible and Christ for our salvation? It is bizarre!!!!
Jesus is our Sabbath Rest, this is why we worship on the 8th Day, Sunday, the first day of the New Creation week
Actually, historically, that's not really the true reason why
Christians are new covenant new creations in Christ. Hebrew roots freaks are in big Mo
He left on thy 6th day... was found missing on thy middle of thy 7 day "morning" . He's last day will be when he returns and takes charge, thus the Last Great Day is the Thousand years 8 day creation. Great video called Messiah 2030 out there, explains it real well. Time is short!
you r deceived christ is not our 4th commandment just as he is not our 6th or 7th commandment don't be fooled
The 8th day??? 😂 So, once its a sunday, then the following monday, then the following tuesday????
If Jesus is our Sabbath rest, and there is no need to observe a day of rest, how will someone know we have Jesus in our lives?
Amen and Amen 🙏🏻👏🤗
What “WORKS” are Christians to cease from on the 7th day of the week, according to: (Heb. 4:10) ? A) Evil Works? B) Good Works? C) Secular Works? Please feel free to look up the word “WORKS” in the original Greek! works = ergōn #2041 Let me get your thought🤔???
A good Berean will listen to this video and then go back to the scriptures to find out if what is being taught is true. Genesis 2:1-3 shows us that not only did God rest (Shabbat) on the 7th day. He did 2 other things. I'm not sure why the professor didn’t mention them but Genesis 2 :3 tells us God blessed the 7th day and sanctified (set apart) the 7th day. This happened before the entrance of sin.
If God blessed and set apart the 7th day before sin, Adam and Eve, in their perfection, treated the day as though it were blessed above the other six days. They stopped their dressing and keeping of the garden on the 7th day and following the example of their Creator, they also rested from physical labor (before sin entered).
The purpose for the 7th day is given several times in scripture. It is a celebration of our Creator. It is a defense against the false theory of evolution and it is a weekly reminder of our origin - that we were created by a loving God. It was not first commanded to be kept in Exodus. It was made holy from before the entrance of sin and God told His people to "keep it" holy by treating it differently than the other 6 days. (Exo 20:8-11).
2 Peter 3:15-16 warns us not to wrest or "twist" the writings of Paul because, Peter said, some of what he wrote is hard to understand. Colossians 2:16 is a perfect example. Nowhere does Paul indicate that he meant the weekly Sabbath. There were certain feast days that were also called sabbaths". These, unlike the weekly Sabbath, happened once a year (see Lev 16:30-31 for example). The annual sabbaths are the shadows Paul speaks of in Col 2:16 and not the weekly Sabbath.
I've heard it cleverly said, and it's true, that whenever we see the word "therefore" in scripture, we should ask, "what is this word there for?" In Colossians 2:16 Paul says:
"Col 2:16 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:" He uses the word therefore to connect what he says next (in Col 2:16) to what he said previously in the chapter. Take a look at what came before:
Why does the book of revelation warns us to keep the commandments though and why does Jesus implore for us to keep his commandments if we love him. I also read in the book of Isaiah that the sabbath will be kept in the new heaven and new earth. So why would he abolish it now ? It’s not adding up with consistent scripture…… I also remember Jesus warning about the abomination of desolation that they should pray that their flight would not be on the sabbath. So it implied that they were still keeping the sabbath when Jerusalem was surrounded and destroyed
There flight took place in 70 AD when the temple was destroyed.
@@freedominchrist444 exactly which means even seventy years after his death and resurrection it implied that the sabbath was being kept
@@javaunpowell925 Some Jewish believers kept it as custom but not required. Gentile believers did not keep sabbath. Some like Paul simply observed sabbath to go to synagoguges and preach to Messiah to the Jews. We see in Acts believers gathering on first day of week and meeting daily. It wasnt about a day. They had continual fellowship with the brethren.
@@javaunpowell925 Yes & even unbelievers (in Messiah Jesus) had to flee the destruction of Jerusalem & yes the Temple/Synagogue/Shabbat system would still have been going strong & yes Shabbat is observed in Judea even to this day, so it's really a pointless point when carried to its logical conclusion.
@@freedominchrist444 Paul broke bread on the first day ( they had a meal ) and he preached to them as he was going to leave in the early morning the following day and all of a sudden the sabbath is negated? . Last time I check in the book of Acts they were called Christian’s at Antioch and still kept the sabbath after in following chapters . If Pauls message was so strong why didn’t he just continue to preach on the first day why did he have to wait till the next sabbath to preach the message?….. even after that the book of revelation speaks about keeping the commandments so any claims about not keeping the sabbath is nullified instantly which further supports the argument that it should

How do we deal with the signs we as we come out of Genesis 2? We have Cain and Abel making offerings to God; nowhere do see an instruction for this to happen but it does. Genesis 6:18 ..."I will confirm My covenant with you". (Noah) Genesis 7:2 seven pairs of clean animals - huh, how does he know what is clean? Genesis 14:20 Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth (tithe) of all the goods he recovered. Hmm, how does Abram know to tithe? Genesis 26:5 God is telling Issac He will bless him because "Abraham listened to Me and obeyed all My requirements, commands, decrees, and instructions. " I am only half way through Genesis and we have offerings, clean animals (food), tithing, and the biggie = God "declares" the seventh day holy.
Yeah it's pretty obvious that the moral standard hasn't changed. These people believe in a morally inconsistent god.
Thé Sabbath is cérémonial not moral. Matthew 12 says thé priests in thé temple profaned thé Sabbath but was found guiltless. Who Can profane a moral Law and still not bé guilty?

@@charnelallan7159 I gave my testimony on exactly your question. If they profane the Sabbath, then they would have been put to death. There are obvious exceptions, we cannot use the Sabbath to bring people unrest, so mercy and sustainment has always been the exception since the beginning of time. Sabbath is a moral command and that's exactly what Jesus was addressing in Matthew 12. He was precisely addressing that is a moral law and not a ceremonial law.
@@charnelallan7159 the moral law is established because it is God's character. Jesus was simply clarifying why it is a moral command, and it's not because it's ceremonial, but it's for the benefit for us to observe. Notice he made no Declaration of changing it to any other day, he made no declaration to move it, order resend it. Would you like the specific verse where this is absolutely proven?
Sounds good, but if you want to keep 9 , you are making excuses for not obeying God. He made the Sabbath, Sanctified the Sabbath and Jesus Said pray that you don't have to flee on winter or on the Sabbath Sabbath day
"Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ" (Col. 2:16-17). RLS

Ten commandments not nine. Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath not the Sabbath. You shall work 6 days and you shall rest on the seventh day it is a sign between you and I.
“Say to the ISRAELITES, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy. Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. The ISRAELITES are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the ISRAELITES forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’” ~ Exodus 31:13-17

FALSE! No where in scripture did Messiah ever say I am your Sabbath and you can rest any day of the week you want! He is Lord of the Sabbath and that is why he followed the Sabbath when he was alive even when he was in his grave he rested on the seventh day, and he rose on the first day! Read the book of acts the Sabbath as mentioned several times! When Messiah returns he will reestablish the seventh day Sabbath that was changed by Constantine and three 321 AD to the day of the sun because he was a pagan sun worshiper. Isaiah 66:22-24 As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure. 23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the Lord. 24 “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.
"Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ." (Col. 2:16-17) RLS
Thank you, that shows you clearly have not a clue what Paul is saying there! Number 1, Paul has no authority to change any laws nor the Sabbath, nor the Holy Festivals. Number 2, He was talking to people who kept the Sabbath on the 7th Day and the Holy Festivals, and Kosher diets according to the biblical Law. I’m not to take offense when someone makes fun of me for following the Feasts, or keeps kosher diet, or the Sabbath, which always was the 7th Day until Constantine came around in 321 AD and issues a decree changing it to sunday. I’m really starting to wonder if you believe the lies you teach?
John 5:18 Jesus broke the sabbath. The Greek word refers to lose. Jesus loosed sabbath command as He had the authority over it. He trumped sabbath
Messiah did not break any commandment according to the Torah of Moses! He broke the Pharisaic Law which is what modern day Judaism is. There is nowhere in scripture where Messiah tells us to not keep the Sabbath. He did not keep it according to the Pharisee’s way of keeping it, which is why we see He healing on the Sabbath. Scripture never said one cannot heal a man or one cannot save a man’s life on the Sabbath! The Pharisees has what’s called the Oral Law, this is NOT the same thing as Mosaic-Biblical Law. Acts 24:14 I admit that I worship the God of our ancestors as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets, So is Paul a liar or hypocrite? We see him here saying he stands in agreement with the Law and the Prophets, yet the false teacher tried to use Paul against me when he clearly took the verse he used out of context.
@@YeshuaSaves-tc6iu John 5:18 showed he loosed sabbath commands. He told a man to carry his pallet which according to Jer was forbidden to carry a load or burden in the sabbath. He was Lord of Sabbath. He had authority to loose temporary sabbath commands that He himself fulfilled. Sabbath and feasts according to Col were shadows. He is the substance. We dont rest in a shadow we rest in him.

Do clergy defy God by working on Sunday? The 10 commandments were for a time and people.
All the 10 commandments or just one ( 4th) of the 10 commandment because that seems to be the only one in contention about keeping it or not.
Yes, the clergy profane the sabbath, Jesus directly addressed this in Matthew 12. We are given an exception on the Sabbath because we are doing work of good to sustain people spiritually. God also worked on the Sabbath this is Dane all life, so the exception is about bringing the ability to people to come into the sabbath.
Jesus himself said others had wrong ideas regarding the sabbath.
But what are people to do when they desperately NEED salvation to be about what they do... instead of solely about Jesus

One of the most inspiring trends I have witnessed is Jesus, in these last days, appearing to Muslims in Iran, Afghanistan... literally throughout the Muslim world, and revealing to these people exactly who He is. After these supernatural experiences, these people immediately convert and follow Jesus -- even though it often means family exile (and sometimes death) and / or attest and imprisonment. Please Google search: "Muslims dream of Jesus" and listen to how He is revealing Himself throughout the world.

@@kimartist, Very true .. And a false prophet is a person who falsely claims the gift of prophecy or divine inspiration, or to speak for God, or who makes such claims for evil ends. I tested her, using a Biblical Imperative For Testing Claimants . I did this some 35 years ago, and tested her,as have many others. She is indeed a false prophet. Also, The Seventh-day Adventists hold that the spiritual gift of prophecy was manifested in the life and ministry of Ellen G. White, from December 1844 to the time of her death on 16 July 1915. The SDA communities were in fact established on the basis of her claiming to be a prophet from God . Also we are to test what anyone says, check it with the Bible . Never assume what some one says about GOD Is true .
The sabbath was not a curse or something given as a shadow of things in the new covenant like the old law that was added because of transgression. The day itself was created for man's benefit so even though you don't find the commandment in the beginning of Genesis you can know why it was created from Jesus' own lips in Mark 2:27. This is why the 7th day sabbath was included with the rest of the moral law that went into the ark and not with he ordinances that were put in the side. This is why Jesus rebuked the pharasees that tried to make it a burden. And it could never be kept completely my people of the old covenant because how can those stained with unremitted sin truly keep something holy. It, like the other 9 can only truly be kept spiritually and outwardly by the pure saints of God.
You did a great job explaining this . Lev 23 details his appointed times . And giving them a holy convocation which means rehearsing them .sabbath was also a rehearsal. Israel rehearesd the passover for 1500 years til jesus became the passover .what was they rehearsing sabbath for?.hebrews 4 says there remains a promise and there remains a sabbath rest for Gods people .remains is a future tense.colosians 2 says the same about sabbath that it is a shadow of things to come .future tense. That sabbath is a rehearsal for the messianic kingdom.
"God again set a certain day, calling it 'TODAY.' This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted: 'TODAY, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.'" ~ Hebrews 4 : 7

@@TheBiblicalRoots I have watched a handful of them. You are well prepared and the presentation/production is good. Yet, to me you come across as 'luke warm' , sorry. I here 'you don't have to keep the 7th day, but you can.' 'You don't have to eat clean, but you can', no harm no foul. If everyone, including you and I can do as WE see fit, then how is there One?
@@charnelallan7159 Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the Sabbath, v10 This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your livestock, and any foreigners living among you. Luke 8:21 Jesus replied, "My mother and My brothers are ALL those who hear God's word and obey it". Hmm, doesn't say just Jew's, only Jew's. Also doesn't say now everybody including Jew's can stop obeying God's instructions because they have been done away with, Matt. 5:17-18. Matt. 19:17 ..if you want to receive eternal life, keep the commandments Matt. 28:1 Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day (Sunday) - both Mary's go to the tomb. Now would have been the perfect place for Matthew to have instructions or commentary of how the appointed day has changed to Sunday. Since Matthew or any other Apostle were not writing these events contemporaneously. Mathew wrote 20 to 30 year's after the resurrection. Matt. 28:19-20 ..make disciples of ALL nations v20 teach ALL the commands I have given you. Again, back to Matt 19:17 John 7:16 ..."My teaching is not mine, but His who sent Me. " John 8:28..."I do nothing on My own authority, but say only what the Father taught Me." So we have ALL and Keep the Commands repeated. We have no one decades after the resurrection instructing any of the "ALL people/nations" to separate and do things differently. We do have the Nicaean council and Constantine consolidating worship for all beliefs to Sunday. In order to keep the peace; not play favorites with one's religion, and probably help regulate commerce by closing all shop's on Sunday.
Jesus Christ is our Sabbath rest must stir up controversy because the statement is not true, the seventh day Sabbath is our rest
Here is the patience of the saints here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. “ Revelation 14:12 “ We see here clearly how the saints are defined - I think it’s dangerous to compromise and disregard any of the commandments including the fourth. God rested blessed and sanctified the seventh day and calls that day the Sabbath -
Although I definitely believe there can be some metaphorical application for Hebrews Ch.4 I do NOT believe we can replace God’s 4th Commandment with the second person of the GODHEAD who we know as JESUS CHRIST! Jesus is NOT the 4th Commandant. The 4th Commandant is NOT now Jesus.
Acts 23:9 There was a great uproar, and some of the teachers of the law who were Pharisees stood up and argued vigorously. “We find nothing wrong with this man,” they said. You really think zealous Pharisees would have said that if Paul was preaching “the Sabbaths are done away with…oh and we can eat pork now” At the time of his trial Galatians was already written. Was it submitted as evidence Paul taught “Sabbath was enslavement weak and beggarly”
Jesus's Bride can eat Pig and has been doing so since the coming of the Gentiles, I will blow your mind - The uncircumcised Abram ate Pig when he received God's promise
Faith is not ceasing from works, it is the promise to do only good works, as all that is not of faith is sin. Faith is the proof of believing, "through righteousness unto eternal life".
Seizing from our works just as God did at the end of the week is the result of having proper faith. So yeah, Hebrews for definitely supports the weekly Sabbath keeping. I gave my testimony on exactly this chapter and uploaded part of it
@@FishermensCorner I suggest we as true believers can only cease firm good works when we die, the result of our faith will be imputed to us, either sin or righteousness.
@simonskinner1450 Sabbath isn't about good works, Sabbath is about stepping away from creation, creative work. We are allowed to do good works everyday, and Jesus clarifies this very precisely. My testimony where I addressed this has been uploaded.
@@FishermensCorner where has your testimony been uploaded.
@@simonskinner1450 I saw it on his channel. It's a couple of Parts it looks like. So all the videos with him behind the pulpit seem to be the same testimony
I just want to find an assembly that faithfully teaches the NT from the OT with the meaning of the feasts and Jewish heritage and doesn't observe pagan Roman/Babylonian 'holidays'.
If the Sabbat was only a symbol, which passed away after Jesus crucifixion, why then follow the weekly pattern? There is not need of it. But if you follow the weekly cycle then keep also the Sabbath holly.
Didn't pass away but was fulfilled The Sabbath is being in relationship with God directly, with Jesus we are able to again
@@troylee4196 On the Sabbath we enjoy a wonderful time with our Creator, so the Sabbath is indeed a day of relationship. It is a commandment and the only one who identifies who the lawgiver is. If that was not the case, everyone would question the authority of the law. If by saying that the Sabbath was fulfilled, we understand that we don't need to keep a literal day holy with all the requirements attached to it, can we also say the same about, the rest of the commandments?
There are some questions left unanswered. For example, The Sabbath was instituted at the creation and not at Sinai, how then is a symbol of the rest in Jesus, when there was no sin yet?
"The Sabbath" was "An Institution"? 🤔
H there. You said "The Sabbath was instituted at the creation and not at Sinai" Are you saying the Sabbath was instituted in the Garden of Eden? The Sabbath Was Instituted at Sinai! There was no observance that preceded Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage. It was not kept from creation, and is in no sense an original, natural or eternal law. Ezekial said Israel sinned grievously in Egypt and he declared their abominations (Ezekial 20:4-8). But he made no mention of a sabbath violation. He said that God brought them out of Egypt into the wilderness (vs. 9-10) and gave them his statutes (v. 11). "Moreover also *I gave them* my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them" (v. 12). Moses had said these statutes had not been given to their fathers. (Deut. 5:1-3.) Nehemiah's inspired testimony was in agreement: "Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them; from heaven .. And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath .. by the hand of Moses thy servant .." (Nehemiah 9:13-14.) The Sabbath Was Given to Israel Only! The law of Moses was a national law enjoined on Israel alone. "And Moses called all Israel and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak ... The Lord our God made a covenant with us .." (Deut. 5:1-2.) He did not make this covenant with any other nation or people in the world. No other nation was ever given a sabbath law, and no other nation ever adopted one.
@@terrygreenman1540 I find it a week argument to say that the law was given to Israel alone. If that was the case then on which basis, was Cain considered a murderer, the antediluvians were wicked and every imagination of their mind was evil, the daughters of Noah, Abraham was a liar, the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomora were considered wicked and sinners before God exceedingly, Moses committed murder, and so on?
@@vaio4908You said "I find it a week argument to say that the law was given to Israel alone. " A week argument would be saying "Ya God gave Israel the 10 C's the Covenant, and I am a gentile Ben Noach type Gentile and start borrowing/stealing/coveting their gift." Exodus makes a strong case to say the opposite of your opinion. Exodus 34:27-28 27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And *he wrote on the tablets* the words of the covenant-the Ten Commandments. 1. The Ten commandments are the Old Covenant: Ex 34:27-28 2. The Old Covenant was abolished: Heb 8:13 3. The Ten Commandments are therefore abolished! If the Sabbath was intended for all people, both Jew and Gentile, then why does Exodus 31:16-17 state that the Sabbath was a sign between God and the "Children of Israel" instead of clarifying that it should be kept by all people of all nations for all time? Keep in mind that the Ten Commandments are referred to as the Old Covenant (Deut. 5:2; 2 Cor. 3:4-16; Heb. 8:13-9:4) and the Sabbath is also referred to as the Old Covenant (Ex. 31:16).
Rob, can't we simply go as far as to say; we ARE keeping the sabbath if we are resting in Christ, and thereby not dismissing it as a commandment at all?
Hi, Ron. That's a really interesting way of thinking about it. By resting in Jesus we aren't keeping God's Sabbath commands as they were expressed under the Old Covenant, of course. But perhaps there is a sense in which resting in Jesus could be seen as keeping God's Sabbath rest as expressed under the New Covenant. That's worth considering! Blessings, Rob
If JESUS is the creator and HE put Adam in the garden and HE met Moses in Sinai with the 613 commandments Then why do you expect us to believe that HE didn’t know HE was going to die on the cross ? You need to use your common sense G-D invented sabbath BEFORE sin. G-D invented a day of rest for man, the MOST HIGH CREATOR wasn’t tired.
Yes Jesus is our rest he created the Sabbath at creation he blessed and hallowed the seventh day and it will be kept throughout eternity it is a literal day that we are to keep holy Jesus says if you love me keep my Commandments that would be all ten
Heaven is paradise - no more pain no more suffering - what need is there of a 7-day Sabbath? 🤔
Jesus is our Sabbath day of rest? So you don't have to obey the 4th commandment? Is he your "thou shalt not kill" as well?
You're starting to get it.
Wow,,,calling the Sabbath a gateway drug...wow! That was a bold statement, one to be documented.
Our good works are like filthy rags including attending church or not working.
You have said many things that are true but are dodging the bullet. Study history of how Sunday became a day of worship for Christians or ask the papacy.
Two separate Hebrew words sabbath = Temporary stopping of work to refresh the body Menuchah = Gods permanent rest for the soul . Psalm 95 uses Menuchah so hebrews 4 is referring to Menuchah rest not sabbath rest . Isaiah 28:11 regarding speaking in tongues is Menuchah . Acts 3:19 the rest / refreshing comes after faith and repentence
(Greek) sabbatismos is specifically used in Hebrews 4 : 9 👍
In Matthew 24: 19-20 when the disciples ask jesus to show them the signs of the endtimes he at some point refers to the sabbath. "woe to the pregnant mothers and those nursing a baby in those days! Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime or on the sabbath day" to me that tells me Jesus expects us to keep the sabbath all through until his second coming. The apostles kept the sabbath, Paul in the book of Acts kept the sabbath at least 83 time where he preached to both Jews and Gentiles in the synagogue ( Acts chapters13, 17 &18). The early Christians kept the sabbath faithfully for 300 years after Jesus ascension to heaven. It wasn't until in AD 341 when it was switched around to Sunday by the council of Leodocia under Canon 29.
@@kimartist yes, it concludes that we must keep Sabbath rest after we enter God's rest. That's exactly the point the original poster making. It literally concludes that we need to keep the Sabbath
@@rebeccajonesy Who was the book of Hebrews written to?
Did you know that you're supposed to be keeping the Saturday Sabbath? Read Exodus 31:16-17. That commandment is forever, meaning you're still supposed to keep it today. Did you know that you're not supposed to be eating pork? Go read Isaiah 66:15-17. God will consume unclean eaters with fire in the tribulation. Did you know that the Bible explicitly forbids putting up a Christmas tree? Read Jeremiah 10:1-5. Do you wanna know why the government is so terrible? It's because God is using it to punish his wicked, covenant-breaking people. Read Leviticus 26. This punishment was prophesied thousands of years ago. Read Romans 13. You speaking evil against the government is helping nothing. If you actually want to be protected then start obeying the holy covenant - the ten commandments. You do not have a lot of time left. Pride goes before destruction and we are at delusional levels of it. Judgement is coming to the house of God first so you better be prepared before tribulation comes to a stiffnecked people who hate God's commandments and reject his word. Because you are not getting raptured if you're ignoring everything God is telling you. If you don't want to be told depart from me I never knew you then you better start getting to work.
22 “For just as the new heavens and the new earth, Which I make, will endure before Me,” declares the Lord, “So will your descendants and your name endure. 23 And it shall be from new moon to new moon And from Sabbath to Sabbath, All mankind will come to bow down before Me,” says the Lord. Isaiah 66:22-23
All he saying there,. is you're going to be there every day!
@@JamieElison Isaiah 66:22-23 is acknowledging the existence of new moon days and Sabbath days in the new heavens and the new earth. The apostles and the early church would have known exactly what this meant because they kept these days already. God is not a God of confusion. Nor does He change.

I watched you on( answering adventism) so I recognize who you were. when I was looking at videos. I appreciate so much what you're doing. Beings you were on with Myles. And you were speaking of SDA. and what they believe .(he never mentioned that they claim that that the Devil Himself is doing the( atonement )of Leviticus 16:10. Which he never spoke of.. when you were on that show. you realize what that does to the whole thing... the ( devil becomes the (sin bearer)!!! that is written in their own documents!) And that becomes their confession of faith when they become members... I can show you where it's found. and it can be found in 3 seconds. just by asking your phone. If you want me to!
Oh that's where you got that from. Jesus has to return to destroy all sin. Do you realize that Leviticus 16 is talking about azazel, the translation for scapegoat is a demon. Your Jesus is a demon? Amazing
@@FishermensCornerexcept it's not in the Bible. Just to say that is blasphemy!
@jimbob1644 oh jimbob, it is the literal translation from the Hebrew. the Hebrew Bible is what we use in the Protestant old testament לַעֲזָאזֵֽל׃ "la-‘ă-zā-zêl"
@@FishermensCorner the Bible says it's a ( location) why don't you read the Bible.? Jesus Christ is both Goats and and the high priest.. He took over every faction of the levitical law.. because He is the Sanctuary... And finished it at the cross! that's not going to happen for you.
@jimbob1644 I literally quoted the Bible and its original language. Sure, let's call it a location, sin goes away to what location, that's not heaven is it? The first goat deals with personal atonement, the second goat deals with taking sin away from thr camp as a place.
The thing is, the idea of resting from work in the OT is not the same as resting from "works" (as in working for salvation/doing things in an effort to earn salvation). It was never about earning salvation.. It wasnt the obedience of the israelites that appeased Gods wrath during that time, it was temple sacrifice. The law wasnt given for salvation. Temple sacrifice appeased Gods wrath but ultimately it was faith that saved people. Those people had faith in God, if they didnt i dont think God would have overlooked their sins like it talked about in acts 17:30-31
Jesus is rest for our souls in the sense that we no longer have to rely on temple sacrifice but can rest in the truth that He is the once for all time perfect sacrificial lamb.. But sabbath was created for man because it is good and even God Himself rested!
Is it required for salvation? No, but if we want to walk in obedience to Gods word and experience the benefits of taking 1 day a week off then i mean, itll only bring good to us! People need to stop making it about salvation (some in the comment section)
Why do you need to take Sundays off if Jesus is your rest? Really? If Jesus abolished the fourth commandment why do you still need a day of rest? Revelation 17:17 says that the harlots (Sunday churches) of Revelation 17:5 are following in lock step with their mom (Rome) . I was once deceived by the Baptist lies. Sunday Sabbath, Christmas, Easter bunny, pre-trib secret rapture. Worshiping on the same day as anti-christ should be a big wakeup clue, but no. That's your mom!
At 19:25 you claim that "to believe that any keeping of the old covenant law defines us as children of God is to fail to recognize the work of Jesus Christ". Not only is that statement contradictory to Messiah actually telling us to follow Deut 6:4 and Lev 19:18, so at the very least following those two commandments DO define us as children of God. But then you go on to say that we are free to keep those things if we want to. Are we free to keep those or does keeping them mock the work of Christ?
