“Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.”
Isaiah 56:2 KJV
Isaiah prophesied, “Blessed is the one who will faithfully keep his commitment. Yes, blessed is the one who honors the Sabbath and does not disregard it, and the one who keeps their hands from doing evil.” For believers today, our Sabbath is now a Man, the Lord Jesus Christ. We have entered into the seventh day from Adam. As Peter explained, “So, dear friends, don’t let this one thing escape your notice: a single day counts like a thousand years to the Lord YAHWEH, and a thousand years counts as one day.” Now we enter into the rest of the finished work of the Cross. We cease from our own labours and enter into His Sabbath rest. “For it says in the Scriptures, And on the seventh day God rested from all His works. For God still has ordained a day for us to enter into called “Today.” For it was long afterwards that God repeated it in David’s words, “If only today you would listen to His voice and do not harden your hearts!” So we conclude that there is still a full and complete Sabbath-rest waiting for believers to experience. As we enter into God’s faith-rest life we cease from our own works, just as God celebrates His finished works and rests in them.” Amen!
