SABBATH
Psalm 103:1 A Psalm of David. Bless Yahweh, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
103:2 Bless Yahweh, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:
103:7 He made known His ways unto Moses, His acts unto the children of Israel.
103:11 For as the heaven (sky) is high above the earth (land), so great is His mercy (loving-commitment) toward them that fear (reverence) Him.
103:17 But the mercy of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear (reverence) Him, and His righteousness unto children's children;
103:18 To such as keep His covenant, and to those that remember His commandments to do them.
103:19 Yahweh hath prepared His throne in the heavens (skies); and His kingdom ruleth over all.
103:20 Bless Yahweh, you His angels (messengers), that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word.
How seriously do you take the Sabbath day?
Did you know that the angels keep Sabbath? Angels is malak in the Hebrew. Malak is a messenger, specifically of Yahweh, also a prophet, priest or teacher.
Jubilees 2:1 And the malak (angel) of the presence spoke to Mosheh according to the word of YAHWEH, saying: Write the complete history of the creation, how in six days YAHWEH ALMIGHTY finished all His works and all that He created, and kept Shabbat on the seventh day and hallowed it for all ages, and appointed it as a sign for all His works.
13 And on the sixth day He created all the animals of the earth, and all cattle, and everything that moves on the earth. 14 And after all this He created man, a man and a woman created He them, and gave him dominion over all that is upon the earth, and in the seas, and over everything that flies, and over beasts and over cattle, and over everything that moves on the earth, and over the whole earth, and over all this He gave him dominion. And these four kinds He created on the sixth day. 15 And there were altogether two and twenty kinds. 16 And He finished all His work on the sixth day--all that is in the heavens and on the earth, and in the seas and in the abysses, and in the light and in the darkness, and in everything. 17 And He gave us a great sign, the Sabbath day that we should work six days, but keep Sabbath on the seventh day from all work. 18 And all the angels (malakiym) of the presence, and all the angels (malakiym) of sanctification, these two great classes--He hath bidden us to keep the Sabbath with Him in heaven and on earth. 19 And He said unto us: "Behold, I will separate unto Myself a people from among all the peoples, and these will keep the Sabbath day, and I will sanctify them unto Myself as My people, and will bless them; as I have sanctified the Sabbath day and do sanctify it unto Myself, even so shall I bless them, and they will be My people and I shall be their God. 20 And I have chosen the seed of Jacob from amongst all that I have seen, and have written him down as My firstborn son, and have sanctified him unto Myself for ever and ever; and I will teach them the Sabbath day, that they may keep Sabbath thereon from all work.” 21 And thus He created therein a sign in accordance with which they should keep Sabbath with us on the seventh day, to eat and to drink, and to bless Him who hath created all things as He hath blessed and sanctified unto Himself a peculiar people above all peoples, and that they should keep Sabbath together with us (the 2 classes, the angels of presence and sancification). 22 And He caused His commands to ascend as a sweet savour acceptable before Him all the days. 23 There were two and twenty heads of mankind from Adam to Jacob, and two and twenty kinds of work were made until the seventh day; this is blessed and holy; and the former also is blessed and holy; and this one serves with that one for sanctification and blessing. 24 And to this (Jacob and his seed) it was granted that they should always be the blessed and holy ones of the first testimony and law, even as He had sanctified and blessed the Sabbath day on the seventh day. 25 He created heaven and earth and everything that He created in six days, and God made the seventh day holy, for all His works; therefore He commanded on its behalf that, whoever doth any work thereon shall die, and that he who defileth it shall surely die. 26 Wherefore do you (Moses) command the children of Israel to observe this day that they may keep it holy and not do thereon any work, and not to defile it, as it is holier than all other days. 27 And whoever profaneth it shall surely die, and whoever doeth thereon any work shall surely die eternally, that the children of Israel (Yisra'el) may observe this day throughout their generations, and not be rooted out of the land; for it is a holy day and a blessed day. 28 And every one who observeth it and keepeth Sabbath thereon from all his work, will be holy and blessed throughout all days like unto us (the angels). 29 Declare and say to the children of Israel the law of this day both that they should keep Sabbath thereon, and that they should not forsake it in the error of their hearts; and that it is not lawful to do any work thereon which is unseemly, to do thereon their own pleasure, and that they should not prepare thereon anything to be eaten or drunk, and (that it is not lawful) to draw water, or bring in or take out thereon through their gates any burden, which they had not prepared for themselves on the sixth day in their dwellings. 30 And they shall not bring in nor take out from house to house on that day; for that day is more holy and blessed than any jubilee day of the jubilees: on this we kept Sabbath in the heavens before it was made known to any flesh to keep Sabbath thereon on the earth. 31 And the Creator of all things blessed it, but He did not sanctify all peoples and nations to keep Sabbath thereon, but Israel alone: them alone He permitted to eat and drink and to keep Sabbath thereon on the earth. 32 And the Creator of all things blessed this day which He had created for a blessing and a sanctification and a glory above all days. 33 This law and testimony was given to the children of Israel as a law for ever unto their generations.
The sabbath was kept in the heavens before the earth was made, was kept during the days of our ancestors, was kept during the days of Christ and after He ascended, and was kept throughout history and is still to be kept today and until Yahshua returns and will be kept in the Kingdom to come.
Let's study what Scripture teaches us about The Sabbath Day.
Genesis is not about the beginning of the world and mankind. It's about the beginning of the time of Adam, as these scriptures are the book of the generations of Adam.
Some say there is a time gap between verse 1 and verse 2. In verse 1 we see that Yahweh created the sky and the land. Created is from H1254 bara. Only Yahweh can create something from nothing.
The next few verses reveal that the angels had their chance to govern the earth. They evidently experimented with hybridization and corrupted the creation.
Verse 2 states that the earth was without form, and void. The Hebrew reveals that 'the earth had become chaotic and empty'. This was because of the judgment of God on earlier civilizations, for their wickedness. This was when there was war in the heavens (Rev 12:7) and Satan was confined to the earth when he fell as lightning (Luke 10:18).
Verses 2 through 5 are talking about the sky and atmosphere returning to their previous, pre-catastrophe state. In verse 11 we see the grass, herbs, and trees growing before the sun is mentioned in verse 14.
Towards the end of chapter 1 we see Yahweh creating the animal species, male and female. He also created the species of man, male and female created He them. In verse 28 God said to all the species to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the land.
'Plenish' means 'to fill'; and you cannot re-plenish what was never plenished or filled before. This shows that Yahweh was replenishing the earth with new life because He destroyed the world which the angels had defiled. This is why He sent Adam. To be the new superintendant and to have dominion over the sea, the air and the land and everything in it.
Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Day comes from the Hebrew word yom, which means an age or eon, a space of time.
This was the last age (day) of creation. All the creating is now done.
The world was not created in 6 days, as the 'churches' teach. Yahweh created the skies and the land and all therein in ages, naturally occurring successions of time periods in which the environment, plants and animals became established.
The earth is now restored and replenished with life and order.
Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens (sky) and the earth (land) were finished, and all the host of them.
2:2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested (H7673- shabath- ceasing) on the seventh day from all His work which He had made (H6213- asah- did, appointed).
2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified (H6942- qadash- set it apart, consecrated) it: because that in it He had rested (H7673 shabath- ceased) from all His work which God created (H1254- bara) and made (H6213- asah- and done to).
The 7th day is set apart and made holy.
Rested is H7673 shabath (shaw-bath'), a verb which means to rest, cease, put an end to.
Blessed is H1288 barak (baw-rak') and means to bless, to kneel, to adore, to praise, to salute, to thank.
Sanctified is H6942 qadash (kaw-dash') and means to consecrate, prepare, dedicate, be holy, be separate, be set-apart, to honor, to keep sacred, to observe.
Sanctified also means clean, ceremonially, or morally.
Seven is the number of completeness and perfection (both physical and spiritual).
How is the number seven linked with God's annual Feast Days?
In addition to keeping the Sabbath, there are 7 annual Holy Days, beginning with Passover and ending with the Last Great Day (the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles which ends in the fall), which we are also to keep and observe.
We will see by the end of these studies that The Gospel is in these Feast Days. The plan of the Gospel, the symbology of the gospel, the meaning of the Gospel, and the reason for the Gospel. Very similar to how we see the Gospel in the Stars, which is the prophetic Mazzaroth of Adam. http://www.thinkoutsidethebeast.com/1097-2/
Genesis 2:7 is where Yahweh formed the man Adam. Formed is yatsar, which was an upgrade from the creation of the Adamic species created in Genesis chapter 1. Yahweh took a male from the species of Adam and upgraded him with His breath of life. Adam was the first of the already created species of Adamic man with the Spirit of Yahweh.
The species was created mortal. The man Adam went from a mortal to immortal with the Shekinah Glory upgrade, he was the first Adamic man born from above. Eve was made from the DNA of the upgraded man Adam. So now Adam and Eve were the first man and woman with the Spirit. Genesis and scripture is the book of the generations of Adam and Eve, not the whole world and all the races. And Adam and Eve were not Jews. Cain was the first Jew as Eve became pregnant by the Devil or some other besides Adam. This is when Adam and Eve sinned, fell, and lost their Shekinah Glory, becoming mortal, and beginning this test called mortal life for all their children. Our Adamic family is born from above into Adamic flesh and our purpose is to follow the laws and instructions of our God so we may be restored to our Shekinah Glory and enter the Kingdom upon the return of our King where we will receive our inheritance.
Part of our instructions is to keep the Shabbath Day. This is part of our heritage being members of the household of Yahweh.
Exodus chapter 16 is about the quails and manna. Forty-five days after departing out of Egypt the children of Israel were complaining of hunger.
Yahweh told Moses He would rain bread from the sky. The people were to gather a certain portion every day. This was a test to see if they would obey Yahweh.
This was also a lesson teaching the children of Israel how the Sabbath day was to be observed. He was teaching them the pattern of 6 days in which work was to be done, and on the 7th day there was to be no work and a day of rest.
Yahweh sent flesh at evening and bread in the morning.
Yahweh commanded to gather every man according to his eating, according to the number of everyone in his tents. Some gathered more, some less, but everyone wound up with an omer.
They were not to leave any of it till the morning, but some did not obey and it bred worms and stank.
On the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread per man. The rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
Exodus 16:23 And he said unto them, This is that which Yahweh hath said, To morrow is the rest (H7677- shabbathon-observance) of the holy (H6944- set-apartness) sabbath (H7676-shabbath) unto Yahweh (Hebrew has 'cessation sabbath of holiness to Yahweh'): bake that which you will bake to day, and seethe (cook) that you will seethe (cook); and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
16:24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
16:25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) unto Yahweh: to day you shall not find it in the field.
16:26 Six days you shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation), in it there shall be none.
16:27 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
16:28 And Yahweh said unto Moses, How long refuse you to keep My commandments and My laws (torah)?
Laws is torah in Hebrew. Note: The written 'torah' was not given yet, that comes when they get to Sinai. Whether written or spoken, Yahweh's law was, is, and always will be in effect and does not cease. Only the priestly ordinances and rituals ended at calvary.
16:29 See, for that Yahweh hath given you the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation), therefore He giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide you every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
16:30 So the people rested (H7673- ceased) on the seventh day.
This is symbolic of trusting Yahweh's plan of preservation through obedience.
There is a reason why He means what He says.
Chapter 20 is the Ten Commandments. Keeping the Sabbath is Commandment #4.
Exodus 20:8 (4) Remember the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day, to keep it holy (H6942- set it apart).
20:9 (4) Six days shalt you labour, and do all your work:
20:10 (4) But the seventh day is the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) of Yahweh your God: in it you shalt not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle (livestock), nor your stranger (of kin) that is within your gates: (Lev 23:3)
20:11 (4) For in six days (ages) Yahweh made heaven (sky) and earth (land), the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Yahweh blessed the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day, and hallowed it (H6942- set it apart). (Gen 2:1-3)
Chapter 23 is about laws of personal actions and more on the law of the Sabbath.
Exodus 23:10 And six years you shalt sow your land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
23:11 But the seventh year you shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner you shalt deal with your vineyard, and with your oliveyard.
23:12 Six days you shalt do your work, and on the seventh day you shalt rest (H7673- cease from work): that your ox and your ass may rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the stranger (of kin), may be refreshed.
Even the land gets a Sabbath. Every seventh year we are to let the land alone that is may be refreshed.
Chapter 31 is also about the Shabbath.
Exodus 31:12 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
31:13 Speak you also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily My sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations) you shall keep (H8104 shamar- observe): for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am Yahweh that doth sanctify (H6942- set you apart) you.
Yahweh is speaking to our race, not all races. He set us apart from all the others.
31:14 Ye shall keep (H8104- observe) the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) therefore; for it is holy (H6944 qodesh- set apart) unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31:15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) of rest (H7677- shabbathon), holy (H6944- set apart) to Yahweh: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day, he shall surely be put to death. (Lev 23:3 Deut 5:12-14)
This is serious stuff. The sabbath of rest is a shabbathon, a cessation of work and a day set-apart to Yahweh in holiness.
31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep (H8104- observe) the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation), to observe (H6213- asah- to do, to celebrate, institute) the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
31:17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days Yahweh made heaven (sky) and earth (land), and on the seventh day He rested (H7673- ceased from work), and was refreshed.
If you are a White Anglo-Saxon, and if you understand that you are a descendant of Jacob whom Yahweh covenanted with, then this covenant applies to you. If you respond to your heritage and observe Yahweh's day of rest in this life, you will enter into His rest in the next.
Chapter 34 continues the explanation of the covenant between Yahweh and the children of Israel. He commands we keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread which is part of Passover and represents coming out of Egypt by the power of Yahweh.
He commands we rest from our labors.
Exodus 34:21 Six days you shalt work, but on the seventh day you shalt rest (H7673- cease from working): in earing (early) time and in harvest you shalt rest (H7673- cease from work). (Lev 23:3 Deut 5:13-14)
We are mere mortals and Yahweh wants us healthy and refreshed. Yahweh is giving us a day off and providing for us while we take the day off. Who doesn't want a paid day off? Thanks Yahweh!
Chapter 35 is more Sabbath regulations.
Exodus 35:1 And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which Yahweh hath commanded, that you should do (H6213 asah- observe, celebrate, accomplish) them.
35:2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy (H6944- set apart) day, a sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) of rest (H7677- observance) to Yahweh: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. (Lev 23:3 Deut 5:12-14)
H7677 is Shabbathon. A sabbath of cessation from work. A set-apart holy day unto Yahweh.
35:3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day.
The correct translation from the Hebrew reads: 3 Do not continue to be burning (work) fire amid all those Shabbaths of yours, during the day to rest.
The word "habitations" in the KJV verse 3 is referring to dwellings and the context makes it obvious that the passage is work related, speaking of keeping the work related fires going.
See: Kindle https://www.thinkoutsidethebeast.com/kindle/
Not even that mean ol' God of the OT would make His people to freeze in the winter time without a fire. He did want them to gather the wood the day before though.
Chapter 16 is about the Day of Atonement. It doesn't fall on a weekly sabbath, but it is a High Shabbath, a Shabbathon.
Leviticus 16:29 And this shall be a statute (ordinance, commandment, appointment, prescription) for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict (humble) your souls (by fasting), and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger (of kin) that sojourneth among you:
16:30 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement (propitiatory shelter) for you, to cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before Yahweh. (Jer 33:8)
16:31 It shall be a sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) of rest (H7677- observance) unto you, and you shall afflict (humble) your souls, by a statute for ever.
This is a commanded fast. No food for 24 hours.
Notice in verse 30 the word priest is in italics. Italicized words are added by the translators. Sometimes they are used to connect words in sentences, sometimes they are used to deceive.
In the BC days of the covenant our people brought their atoning sacrifice to the priests and the priests would make the atonement for you. In the AD days of the covenant we are to make atonement ourselves through knowledge and obedience. Spiritual sacrifices are those which we make by following The Way and the Commandments and appointed times.
There is no more priesthood and ritual ordinances because Jesus Christ fulfilled them and became our High Priest. We are responsible for our own repentance, our own spiritual sacrifices, and our own works of obedience and to follow His Way.
The DOA is a High Shabbathon and a day in which we are to rest from work, worldly things, food, and to humble ourselves and repent, and trust in Yahweh as we afflict ourselves with hunger, which brings us closer to the Holy Spirit.
It's not only physically healthy to fast, but it's spiritually healthy to fast.
Feasts of Yahweh
Leviticus 23:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the (appointed) feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations (high sabbaths- set-apart sacred assemblies), even these are My (appointed) feasts.
23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) of rest (H7677- Shabbathon observance), an holy (set-apart) convocation (assembly- a high sabbath); you shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) of Yahweh in all your dwellings.
In all your dwellings means wherever you dwell.
23:4 These are the feasts of Yahweh, even holy convocations (high sabbaths- set-apart assemblies), which you shall proclaim in their seasons (appointed times).
There are 7 Feasts of Yahweh. Passover, Unleavened Bread, Wave Sheaf/Firstfruits/Weeks, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles culminating with the Last Great Day.
All 7 feasts are symbolic of the plan of salvation and represent Yahshua Christ and what He and the Father have done for us. These feasts are our heritage, are meant to be observed, and they keep us in remembrance of the wonderful path in which we return back to Him. The Feast days contain the symbology and meaning of the Gospel.
These Feast days are explained in detail in the Calendar Menu @ https://www.thinkoutsidethebeast.com/ (click the dropdown arrow to open menu)
23:5 In the fourteenth day of the first month (Abib) at even is Yahweh's passover.
Passover represents the blood of Christ and is symbolic of the propitiatory shelter He provides over us to protect us from the penalty of sin.
23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month (Abib) is the feast of unleavened bread unto Yahweh: seven days you must eat unleavened bread.
23:7 In the first day (of the FUB) you shall have an holy convocation (high sabbath): you shall do no servile work therein.
Feast of Unleavened Bread is connected to Passover. It's a reminder that we must put leaven (sin) out of our lives, and is also a reminder of when Yahweh took our ancestors out of Egypt (bondage). We are to remove all leaven products from our homes and we are to eat unleavened bread during the seven days of the FUB, beginning Passover evening unto the evening of the seventh day of FUB. The first and seventh day of this feast are weekly as well as high sabbaths.
The only change in the FUB is that we don't make offerings by fire anymore because the rituals, sacrifices and ordinances of the priesthood were 'done away with'.
23:9 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
23:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
The Wave Sheaf Offering represents the resurrection. It's also referred to as Feast of Firstfruits or Feast of Weeks, because it starts the countdown to Pentecost. The Feast of Weeks begins 2 days after Passover and the day after the FUB. This is the countdown of 50 days to Pentecost. Since there is no more priesthood, Temple, or sacrificial rituals, the Feast of Weeks is celebrated by being mindful of the countdown to Pentecost and is also a good time to witness to your kinsmen so you have some 'fruit' to present to the Holy Spirit to be received by.
Seven sabbaths to Pentecost. Pentecost is the day after the seventh sabbath from Passover and FUB. It is a High Shabbath, no servile work.
23:23 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month (Ethanim), in the first day of the month, shall you have a sabbath (H7677- Shabbathon), a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation (high sabbath).
The Feast of Trumpets is on a weekly sabbath day and is a High Shabbath. A Shabbathon, which is a set-apart day to observe as a sabbath day. Trumpets is a warning and preparation that Yahshua is coming, so it's time to trim your lamps and get right before it's too late.
23:26 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
23:27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month (Ethanim) there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation (high sabbath) unto you; and you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
Day of Atonement. A day of fasting. A day to deny worldly things and trust in Yahweh's plan of bodily and spiritual cleansing. It's another Shabbathon, a set-apart holy day.
23:28 And you shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement (propitiation), to make an atonement (propitiation) for you before Yahweh your God.
23:29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted (humbled) in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
23:30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
23:31 You shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
23:32 It shall be unto you a sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) of rest (H7677- observance), and you shall afflict (humble) your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall you celebrate your sabbath (H7676- holy cessation).
Your fast begins the evening of the 9th day of the 7th month to the evening of the 10th no eating, watching TV, buying or selling, or working. A day of fasting, repentance, a day of immersing yourself in the Word, and supporting each other through this fast. You break your fast with a nice meal the evening of the 10th day.
23:33 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
23:34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month (Ethanim) shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto Yahweh.
Feast of Tabernacles. It begins on a sabbath day and ends on the following sabbath day which is a High Shabbath and is also the eighth day of this feast, which is a High Shabbath.
The FOT symbolizes that we dwell in safety with Christ from the satanic society. It's a memorial of wandering in the wilderness during the Exodus and a reminder that we are foreigners and pilgrims.
23:35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation (high sabbath): you shall do no servile work therein.
23:36 Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation (high sabbath) unto you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh: it is a solemn assembly (meeting of set-apartness); and you shall do no servile work therein.
Again, we are not required to offer offerings by fire because those ordinances expired when Christ died. Everything else still stands. The memorial, the participation, and the cessation of work on the sabbaths.
23:39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month (Ethanim), when you have gathered in the fruit of the land (gathered the fruit of your witnessing), you shall keep a feast unto Yahweh seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath (high sabbath), and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath (high sabbath).
23:40 And you shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God seven days.
23:41 And you shall keep it a feast unto Yahweh seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: you shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
The festival of tabernacles. Time to camp out.
23:42 You shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
23:43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths (tents), when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Yahweh your God.
The eighth day of the FOT is called the Last Great Day. It represents the return of our King.
All seven of these Feast days are memorials, commandments, and are our heritage. If you are an Israelite then you should be participating in your family traditions.
The 'churches' only celebrate Passover. They observe it on the wrong day and to a Jewish Jesus. All they are concerned about is being covered by the blood, being 'saved' by their own declaration, and to wait for the 'rapture' plane. They don't understand that the Bible is NOT a Jewish book, these are NOT Jewish feasts, and the Jews are NOT Israelites. The 'churches' identify as transGentiles and base their whole doctrine, the gospel, and their path to salvation on a counterfeit religion. Because of this, they don't know who they are or Whose they are, they don't live according to The Way or their heritage, and as a result they are two-fold children of hell anti-christs that serve Jewish agendas and a Himey Jesus that guarantees you an eternity of death.
It matters Who and what we believe. 33,000 so-called christian denominational beliefs are NOT The Belief.
Chapter 25 is about the Sabbath and jubilee years.
Leviticus 25:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) unto Yahweh.
25:3 Six years you shalt sow your field, and six years you shalt prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; (Exo 23:10)
25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) of rest (H7677- Shabbathon- observance of cessation) unto the land, a sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) for Yahweh: you shalt neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.
25:5 That which groweth of its own accord of your harvest you shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: for it is a year of rest (H7677- Shabbathon) unto the land.
25:6 And the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) of the land shall be food for you; for you, and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant, and for your stranger (guest) that sojourneth with you,
25:7 And for your cattle, and for the beast that are in your land, shall all the increase thereof be food.
25:8 And you shalt number seven sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations) of years unto you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations) of years shall be unto you forty and nine years.
25:9 Then shalt you cause the trumpet of the jubilee (sound of ram's horns) to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month (Ethanim), in the day of atonement (propitiation) shall you make the trumpet (ram's horn) sound throughout all your land.
The Jubilee year starts on the Day of Atonement in the 49th year and lasts until the Day of Atonement the following year.
The 50th year is symbolic. This Yobel (Jubilee) year would be within the 49th and 50th year because it begins in the 7th month of the 49th year.
So we see that Yahweh sets aside sabbaths for the land, for our mortal bodies, and for returning every man unto his possesions and his family.
We get weekly rests, yearly rests, and even our livestock and land gets rest.
Yahweh states that if we follow His plan for the land sabbaths, then He will bless the sixth year to bring forth fruit for three years.
Yahweh is so great! Why the heck would you not follow His plan? But you have to know His plan, and unfortunately the Jews and the 'churches' have destroyed His plans and teach the opposite of His Ways.
How many farmers and agriculture companies keep the land shabbaths? Why is our food low in nutrients and high in sugar and full of genetically modified Round-up pesticide chemicals? Because the Jews own all the farms and food industries, set and govern the food regulations, and have always been known throughout history to poison the food, air and water of the goyim sheep. And the 'churches' are chief in supporting their efforts because they have been fooled into believing the Jews are God's people!
Chapter 5 is the 10 Commandments repeated to the generation born in the wilderness of Sinai who were not alive when the 10 C's were given some 40 years earlier.
Deuteronomy 5:1 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and keep, and do them.
The Hebrew has “study them”, as part of learn them. And “guard them”, meaning (keep them).
5:2 Yahweh our God made a covenant with us (meaning 'with our fathers') in Horeb.
5:3 Yahweh made not this covenant with our fathers (only), but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
This covenant was broken by the people in the course of life in the wilderness, and the new generation had to 're-sign' before entering the Promised Land, on the verge of which they now stood.
The covenant is with the children of Israel. All Israelites, past, present, and future are under the covenant. It's a racial and family covenant between Yahweh and the children of Jacob. This covenant is the same as the covenant in the New Testament. The only difference is that the priesthood, it's rituals and oblations and the blood sacrifices were what was 'done away with'.
The 'churches' teach that the laws, feast days, food laws, and just about everything Yahweh commanded was 'done away with' at the cross. The 'churches' are ignorant and reprobate.
Yahshua states in the NT...
John 14:15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments.
And the fourth commandment is...
5:12 Keep (Guard, observe, regard, celebrate) the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day to sanctify (H6942- set it apart) it, as Yahweh your God hath commanded you.
5:13 Six days you shalt labour, and do all your work:
5:14 But the seventh day is the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) of Yahweh your God: in it you shalt not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your ox, nor your ass, nor any of your cattle (livestock), nor your stranger (sojourning kinsman) that is within your gates; that your manservant and your maidservant may rest as well as you.
5:15 And remember that you wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that Yahweh your God brought you out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day.
So we see from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy, that Yahweh established the sabbath day as a commandment, a sacred set-apart appointed day. It is a holy cessation from work, an intermission of rest, and that all Israelites born in every generation and wherever we dwell are to keep, guard, remember, observe, participate and celebrate the sabbath day.
The rest of the books of the OT demonstrate that His people and our ancestors were to keep the sabbaths.
In the Words of the Days, which is the Chronicles, the houses of Israel and Judah went through evil kings and great apostasy as a nation. Nearly all the people were idolators, race-mixing, and profaning the temple and their worship until there was no remedy. Yahweh had enough of His cheating wife and sent the Assyrians and the Babylonians to punish them.
2Chronicles 36:20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he (Nebuzaradan the grandee of executioners) away to Babylon; where they were servants to him (Nebuchadnezzar) and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
36:21 To fulfil the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations): for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath (H7673- rested), to fulfil threescore and ten years.
In addition to the apostasy of idolatry, race-mixing, international whoredom, usury, neglect of the poor and needy, and lack of brotherly love, the people failed to keep the land sabbath for 70 years, which is why the Babylonian captivity lasted 70 years.
In the seventh month on the first day during the Feast of Trumpets, which is a High Shabbath, the congregation gathered to hear the reading of the Torah (law).
This was the remnant of the house of Judah that returned from captivity to rebuild Jerusalem.
The Levites read the book of the law of Yahweh, translating to give the sense, and caused the people to understand the reading. They wept because they had not understood the Word and their role as children of the Most High, but now they understand.
When they understood the words declared to them they rejoiced.
They celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles two weeks later on the appointed day and dwelt in booths (tents) for seven days with great gladness, remembering and honoring Yahweh for His deliverance of Israel from Egyptian bondage.
A few days later they fasted and separated themselves from their racially alien wives and children and confessed their sins.
They praised Yahweh for His covenant with Abraham and for showing His signs and wonders in Egypt, and for leading their ancestors through the wilderness.
Nehemiah 9:13 You camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven (the sky), and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
9:14 And madest known unto them Your holy (H6944- set apart) sabbath (H7676- holy cessation), and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses Your servant:
They realized that Yahweh means business when He sets commandments before us.
Yahweh promises blessings with obedience, and cursings with disobedience. (Deut 28)
Yahweh is dead serious when it comes to His appointed times and shabbaths.
Nehemiah 10:31 And if the people of the land bring ware (merchandise) or any victuals on the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation), or on the holy (H6944- set-apart) day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
They would observe the shabbath day and not buy or sell on this day.
They also observed the seventh year of release from debt. This is another type of sabbath Yahweh provides us with. Every seventh year was a rest from debts. If the indentured servitude or debt was more than seven years, the debt would resume after the seventh year. The Jubilee year, the 50th year, was the one that was a full release from all debts and a restoration of one's property.
Nehemiah 13:15 In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation), and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals. (Exo 20:8-10; Deut 5:12-14; Jer 17:21-22)
13:16 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware (merchandise), and sold on the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
13:17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that you do, and profane the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day?
13:18 Did not your (fore) fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet you bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation).
13:19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation), I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation): and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day.
“Began to be dark before the sabbath”.
Reading this at face value seems to imply that the sabbath begins at evening.
The evening to evening reckoning is Babylonian/Jewish/pagan.
The day begins at sunrise.
It was customary to close the gate at night and opened when sun is hot (Neh 7:3).
The merchants came on the 6th day, arriving at the end of the day, so Nehemiah shut the gates on them. The evening was not the beginning of the new day or the sabbath. As they lodge about the wall that evening, Nehemiah would not be laying his hands on them if it were the Sabbath. The sabbath comes after dark, in the morning at sunrise. The merchants never made it into the city the evening of the 6th day, nor were they allowed in on the sabbath day. Since the gates were closed at night, the merchants were kept out almost two days. From the evening of the 6th day to noon on the 8th day.
13:20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware (merchandise) lodged without (outside) Jerusalem once or twice.
13:21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge you about the wall? if you do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation).
Jerusalem was along a trade route. The merchants, usually Canaanite Jews, would try to sell on the Sabbath. When that was stopped by Nehemiah, they would camp outside the city and this became a distraction for the sabbath. So Nehemiah told them to scram or else.
13:22 And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify (H6942- set apart) the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare (pardon) me according to the greatness of Your mercy (loving-commitment).
A little research shows that all the White nations of the world kept the sabbath day. This is because we are the Israelites of the bible.
It is our Israelite heritage, and it is our people that brought the gospel to the world and we attempt to follow God's laws. The Jews have NEVER done any of this. They've only defiled God's Word, His laws, our white Christian societies, and our minds.
America, as well as Canada, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Norway kept most stores closed on Sundays.
The first known law regarding prohibition of Sunday labor was in 321 AD by Emperor Constantine.
Sabbatarians from London kept the sabbath days when they arrived in America in 1664.
Blue laws, also known as Sunday laws, were laws designed to restrict or ban buying or selling on Sunday.
The first occurrence of the phrase Blue Laws is in the NY Mercury of March 3, 1755. They were enacted by Puritan colonies in the 17th century that prohibited the sale of merchandise and business activities.
Numerous Americans were arrested for working, keeping an open shop, drinking alcohol, and traveling on Sundays in the 19th century.
Jews protested against these laws. Why? Because the Jews are not Israelites and they wanted to make money off the goyim. The Jews don't follow any of God's laws and they create loopholes around His laws. They are also responsible for changing our laws because they have infiltrated and taken over all governments. Now they have taught our people to neglect all of God's laws, feast days, and sabbaths, and our own true identity which they stole! They have taught our people to accept the traditions and values of Jews, to serve and support Jews, and to trust in and worship Jews.
No thanks, I'll serve Yahweh!
There is even a song for the sabbath.
Psalm 92:1 A Psalm or Song for the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto Yahweh, and to sing praises unto Your name, O most High: (look it up to read the rest)
Chapter 56 is about estranged Israel. Isaiah is speaking about the Israelites which were scattered among the nations. The 'lost' sheep. The same 'lost' sheep which Jesus Christ told His disciples to bring the gospel to. Their descendants. These estranged 'lost' Israelites were walking in darkness because they were living among the pagan nations and they forgot who they were and Whose they were. These same 'lost' Israelites are also our kinsmen/women sitting in their own pew in the 33,000 denominations of Jewish Jesus worshiping 'churches' who identify as transGentiles, eat swine's flesh, and do not keep the sabbaths in righteousness and have been taught to forget about the feast days.
Isaiah 56:1 Thus saith Yahweh, Keep you judgment (justice), and do justice (righteousness): for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed.
56:2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man (Adam) that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
56:3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to Yahweh, speak, saying, Yahweh hath utterly separated me from His people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
Stranger is H5236 nekar, an Israelite living in a foreign land.
The children of Israel are strangers to Yahweh with their deportation and divorce (745 BC). (Eph 2:12, 4:18; Col 1:21)
When the children of Yahweh were divorced, they became a eunuch. Cut off. Estranged.
56:4 For thus saith Yahweh unto the eunuchs that keep My sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me, and take hold of My covenant;
56:5 Even unto them will I give in Mine house and within My walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
56:6 Also the sons of the stranger (estranged Israel), that join themselves to Yahweh, to serve Him, and to love the name of Yahweh, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) from polluting it, and taketh hold of My covenant;
56:7 Even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon Mine altar; for Mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all (My) people (Adamites).
Yahweh's covenant is only with Israel. He is not admitting other races and the 'just believers' of the Gentile 'church' who worship Himey Jesus into the covenant. He is speaking of estranged Israelites that were cast off for their idolatry and whoredom against Him. This is the prophecy of the gospel to the 'lost' sheep and their return to Yahweh, His laws, and keeping His sabbaths and feast days, all of which were to continue after Christ died, which is why the apostles kept and taught to keep the feasts.
Begin Part 2 of The Sabbath here
Isaiah 58:13 If you turn away your foot from the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation), from doing your pleasure on My holy (H6944- set apart) day; and call the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) a delight, the holy (H6918- sacred and set-apart) of Yahweh, honourable; and shalt honour Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:
58:14 Then shalt you delight yourself in Yahweh; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth (land), and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father (ancestor): for the mouth of Yahweh hath spoken it.
All Yahweh is asking is to give Him 1 out of 7 days to honor Him and delight yourself in Him.
We are to do this everyday, but He knows that we are not perfect and we have other duties and distractions to deal with. These sabbaths and feast days are really like resets. They ground us in the truth and His Word by remembering them and participating in keeping them. If they weren't commanded, then they would be forgotten. Just ask the 'churches' or some random 'Gentile' about them and what they mean and you'll see.
Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon (new month) to another, and from one sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) to another (H7676- holy cessation), shall all flesh come to worship before Me, saith Yahweh.
All flesh means all of the race of Adam, the people in whom Yahweh's spirit is.
The references of this prophecy are in Joel 2:28 and Zechariah 14:16 where Yahweh is speaking to Israelites. This is a dual prophecy which happened after the return from captivity in Babylon, and during the birth of America, and will also happen in the kingdom.
Jeremiah 17:21 Thus saith Yahweh; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; (Neh 13:15-22)
17:22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day, neither do you any work, but hallow (H6942- set apart) you the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day, as I commanded your fathers. (Exo 20:8-10)
17:23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
17:24 And it shall come to pass, if you diligently hearken unto Me, saith Yahweh, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day, but hallow (H6942- set apart) the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day, to do no work therein;
17:25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
17:26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat (grain) offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of Yahweh.
17:27 But if you will not hearken unto Me to hallow (H6942- set apart) the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation) day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
If's and then's. They are all over scripture.
Our ancestors did not hearken to Yahweh and did not set apart the sabbath days, the jubilees, or the land sabbaths, which is why He sent the Babylonians to destroy and burn Jerusalem, the temple and the gates thereof. When the remnant returned to Jerusalem after captivity they returned to Yahweh, but that only lasted a few hundred years and by the time of Christ they had again missed the mark of duty. The Edomite Jews easily infiltrated and changed the Torah of Moses and brainwashed the people with the gospel of Satan. Christ cursed the land with His own words and His own shed blood. The land is still cursed today and the cursed seed Jews are occupying that stolen cursed land claiming they are Judah and they are NOT! America is the New Jerusalem and we followed Yahweh's laws and kept the sabbaths and feast days here....until the Jew crept in again and once again destroyed our once White Christian Israelite nation, along with our White European brother's nations too.
Lamentation 2:6 And He hath violently taken away His tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: He hath destroyed His places of the assembly (H4150- place of appointment): Yahweh hath caused the solemn feasts (H4150- appointed times) and sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations) to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of His anger the king and the priest.
The Septuagint begins as: 6 “And He has scattered His tabernacle as a vine,...”
This is not saying Yahweh did away with the feasts. He didn't accept them when the people who were keeping them were not keeping them in righteousness. They were keeping them with insincerity, and mixing pagan idolatry in them. Just like He does not accept the 'church's' version of Passover, which they call Easter, which comes from worship of the Canaanite goddess Ishtar. Also 'good Friday' and 'Easter Sunday' are only 2 days and 2 nights, not 3 days and 3 nights, and are not even the days Christ died and rose on according to the Hebrew Calendar!
Yahweh tells Yechezqel to speak to the elders who came to him to enquire of Yahweh. Ezekiel tells them Yahweh does not enquire of sinners. The Israelites were deep into apostasy and they needed reminding that Yahweh chose Israel and that He made Himself known to them in Egypt.
Ezekiel 20:11 And I gave them My statutes, and shewed them My judgments, which if a man (an Adamite) do, he shall even live (H2421- be restored to life or health) in them.
20:12 Moreover also I gave them My sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations), to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am Yahweh that sanctify (H6942- set them apart) them.
20:13 But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness: they walked not in My statutes, and they despised My judgments, which if a man (an Adamite) do, he shall even live (H2421- be quickened) in (by) them; and My sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations) they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out My fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
20:14 But I wrought (acted) for My name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen (nations), in whose sight I brought them out.
20:15 Yet also I lifted up My hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory (most beautiful) of all lands;
20:16 Because they despised My judgments, and walked not in My statutes, but polluted My sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations): for their heart went after their idols.
20:17 Nevertheless Mine eye spared them (looked with compassion) from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
20:18 But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk you not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:
20:19 I am Yahweh your God; walk in My statutes, and keep My judgments, and do them;
20:20 And hallow (H6942- set apart) My sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations); and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am Yahweh your God.
20:21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against Me: they walked not in My statutes, neither kept My judgments to do them, which if a man (an Adamite) do, he shall even live (H2421- have life) in them; they polluted My sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations): then I said, I would pour out My fury upon them, to accomplish My anger against them in the wilderness.
20:22 Nevertheless I withdrew Mine hand, and wrought (acted) for My name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen (nations), in whose sight I brought them forth.
20:23 I lifted up Mine hand (as an oath) unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen (nations), and disperse them through the countries; (Lev 26:33, Deut 28:64)
20:24 Because they had not executed My judgments, but had despised My statutes, and had polluted My sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations), and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
What do we see here?
That the children of Jacob are Yahweh's chosen people. That Yahweh's promise to Abraham is the mercy and loving-commitment He keeps over the penalty of breaking the law which He gave to Israel at Sinai. Had it not been for Yahweh's oath and covenants with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, our ancestors would have been destroyed. But the promises He made with Abraham's seed overrules the penalty of sin. This is why Jesus Christ had to die.
After Yahweh married Israel at Sinai, Israel sinned, she went a whoring, a cheating wife. Yahweh divorced her after Solomon died and scattered them among the nations.
The Feast Days are the plan and path Yahweh designed to redeem us with, remind us with, and protect us with.
So Yahweh was hurt, cheated on, and forgotten. But He didn't forget our people. Even though He divorced our ancestors and scattered them among the nations, He had a plan of reconciliation. Yahweh's law states that you cannot remarry someone you divorced. This is why Christ Yahshua, who is Yahweh in the flesh, came down from above into the flesh body of an Adamic Israelite of the tribe of Judah, which is NOT JEWISH. He taught us the Word perfectly and demonstrated the life living according to it, including keeping the sabbaths and feast days Himself. He died for our sins, and sent His Set-Apart Spirit to guide and protect us, and 1500 years before all that, He gave us the Feast Days as a foreshadow, plan, and path of what was to come. The Gospel message is in the Feast Days.
When Yahweh in the flesh died, He legally by His own law could marry us as Yahshua Christ. This is why Jesus Christ died for our people. Yahshua is our Kinsman Redeemer. The Feast Days are symbolic of this whole plan of redemption, propitiation, reconciliation, preservation, and salvation.
PASSOVER represents the shed blood which covers our sins which we are worthy of death for.
Feast of UB represents that as Yahweh took us out of Egypt, bondage, and idolatry, we are to put the sin out of our lives.
Feast of Weeks/Wave Sheaf represents the Resurrection. Yahshua Christ the Firstfruit.
PENTECOST represents the firstfruits of Christians after the Resurrection receiving the Set-Apart Spirit. It also represents the continuing outpouring of the Holy Spirit on those the Father draws unto Him.
TRUMPETS represents the warning and preparation for Messiah's return.
Day of Atonement represents denying worldly things, fasting, repenting and praying, so you are able to have the shed blood of Christ cover you.
Feast of Tabernacles represents dwelling with Yahshua in safety from the wicked world around, just as our ancestors tabernacled in the wilderness in safety with Yahweh dwelling among them.
Last Great Day represents the return of our King. Better have all your ducks in a row!
See how this all connects?
Without the giving of the law, the marriage at Sinai, and the covenant with Abraham and his seed, these Feast Days would not mean anything. They would not be symbolic of the sacrifice of Christ and the heritage we are to guard, keep, honor, observe, and participate in. There would be no gospel message, because the Feast Days are what the gospel message reminds us of.
Every one of these Feast Days and Shabbathons are important, have meaning, and are to be celebrated, with understanding. They are memorials of reconciliation.
Oh look! Yahweh is still chastising His people.
Ezekiel 22:8 You hast despised Mine holy things (H6944- things I set apart, that which is set-apart to Me), and hast profaned My sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations).
The following verses state that Yahweh is disgusted with the prophets and preachers that prey upon the people for gain. Everything was defiled by their corruption and evil and everyone was tainted by false doctrine and they were unclean for worship. The same thing is going on with today's 'churches'.
22:26 Her priests have violated My law (torah), and have profaned Mine holy things (H6944- My set-apart matters): they have put no difference (distinction) between the holy (H6944- set-apart) and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from (disregarded) My sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations), and I am profaned among them.
In chapter 23 Yahweh is chastising the two adulteress sisters, the houses of Israel and of Judah. Both were guilty of international religious fornication and idolatry and passing their children through the planned parenthood offices of Molech.
Ezekiel 23:38 Moreover this they have done unto Me: they have defiled My sanctuary (H4720- set-apart temple) in the same day, and have profaned My sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations).
23:39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into My sanctuary (H4720- set-apart temple) to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of Mine house.
Ezekiel 44:23 And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
These are references to people, the other races. The other races were not set-apart. The children of Israel were set-apart from all the other races.
44:24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to My judgments: and they shall keep My laws and My statutes in all Mine assemblies; and they shall hallow (H6942- set apart) My sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations).
Notice we are to keep His laws and statutes in all His assemblies. If the 'churches' are allowing the other races into the assembly, then they have not been taught the difference between the set-apart (holy) and the profane. This isn't hate speech, it's the Word of Yahweh.
Hosea is describing the divorce. All of Israel has gone astray, and as a result, their children are brought up in apostasy and unaware of their apostasy. They are children of improper foreign relations with alien peoples and alien gods.
Hosea 2:5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers (pagan idols), that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
2:6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths (idiomatic usage for 'course of life').
2:7 And she shall follow after her lovers (false gods), but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband (figurative for Yahweh); for then was it better with me than now.
2:8 For she did not know that I gave her corn (grain), and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal (and Himey Jesus).
2:9 Therefore will I return, and take away My corn (grain) in the time thereof, and My wine in the season (H4150- appointed time) thereof, and will recover My wool and My flax given to cover her nakedness.
2:10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers (pagan idols), and none shall deliver her out of Mine hand.
2:11 I will also cause all her mirth (exhaltation) to cease, her feast days, her new moons (months), and her sabbaths (H7676- holy cessations), and all her solemn feasts (H4150- sacred appointments).
All these 'churches' going after Jewish Jesus, praising him for giving them their bread and water. Their exhaltation of Himey will cease and their rapture tickets revoked, because they knew not that Yahweh gave them their bread and water. If they don't wake up and smell the Jew, then Yahweh will discover their lewdness and Himey will not deliver them out of the hand of the wrath of Yahweh!
Amos 8:5 Saying, When will the new moon (month) be gone, that we may sell corn (new grain)? and the sabbath (H7676- holy cessation), that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying (distort) the balances by deceit?
8:6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat (and the falling parts of grain we shall retail)?
The reference takes us to Nehemiah 13:15 where buying and selling were taking place in Jerusalem on the sabbath day. In addition to this, the charge of the iniquity of oppressing the poor and needy is highlighted in Amos. The upper class cared more for their commerce than for the sabbaths.
The Books of the Maccabees details the time after Ezra and Nehemiah, after the time of Alexander the Great, and the end of the Greek empire and beginning of the Roman empire.
It was the time of the Antiochians and the imposing of their pagan religion on the Judahites.
The Maccabees were not Jews, they were Judahites. White Adamic Israelites of the house of Judah. This time was between 175 and 157 BC.
Installation of the Cults of the Nations
1Maccabees 1:41 Moreover king Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdom, that all should be one people,
1:42 And every one should leave his laws: so all the heathen (nations) agreed according to the commandment of the king.
1:43 Yea, many also of the Israelites consented to his religion, and sacrificed unto idols, and profaned the sabbath.
They were forcing the Israelites to sin, to ban them from observing their heritage, traditions, and Way of life. Just like the Jews are doing to us today in all the White nations of the world, forcing homosexuality, race-mixing, Judeo-Christianity, Jewish Jesus, and 33,000 other denominations of so-called Christianity down our throats, pharmaceuticals for an appetizer, and some holohoax for desert.
1:44 For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusalem and the cities of Juda that they should follow the strange laws of the land,
1:45 And forbid burnt offerings, and sacrifice, and drink offerings, in the temple; and that they should profane the sabbaths and festival days:
1:46 And pollute the sanctuary and holy (Set-Apart) people:
1:47 Set up altars, and groves (Asherah poles), and chapels of idols, and sacrifice swine's flesh, and unclean beasts:
1:48 That they should also leave their children uncircumcised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness and profanation:
1:49 To the end they might forget the law, and change all the ordinances.
History repeats itself. Our once White Christian nation became fat and lazy and the children of the wicked one slithered in and forced us to profane our sabbaths, our feast days, our minds and our worship. They have successfully removed our people from our true identity and we now identify as transGentiles. They have successfully taken over our governments, own all the corporations and banks, tread on our Constitution and spread the gospel of 33k versions of doctrinal vomit. Now nobody knows who we are and Whose we are. Nobody knows about the Feast Days and Shabbathons or the meanings and significance of them. And nobody is worshiping correctly because all everybody knows is based on false presumptions, false doctrine, Jewish fables, and crafty deception.
The Maccabees have a few events recorded of the Judahites keeping the sabbath day, even in the face of death. Many of them died willingly because they would not profane the sabbath day for anything, even an attacking army. See 1Mac 2:34-41.
In chapter 5 of 2Maccabees Antiochus sends Appollonius with an army of 22,000 to slay the Judahites in Jerusalem on the holy day of the sabbath.
Chapter 6 of 2Maccabees is about the suppression of the Judahite Belief (faith).
2Maccabees 6:1 Not long after this the king sent an old man of Athens (a senator) to compel the Judahites to depart from the laws of their fathers, and not to live after the laws of God:
6:2 And to pollute also the temple in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter (Zeus) Olympius; and that in Garizim, of Jupiter (Zeus) the Defender of strangers, (according) as they did that dwelt in the place.
6:3 The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous to the people:
6:4 For the temple was filled with riot and revelling by the Nations, who dallied with harlots, and had to do with women within the circuit of the holy places, and besides that brought in things that were not lawful.
6:5 The altar also was filled with profane things, which the law forbiddeth. Pigs.
6:6 Neither was it lawful for a man to keep sabbath days or ancient fasts, or to profess himself at all to be a Judahite.
6:11 And others, that had run together into caves near by, to keep the sabbath day secretly, being discovered by Philip, were all burnt together, because they made a conscience to help themselves for the honour of the most sacred day.
The Geneva reads the last part as 'because that for the reverence of the honourable day they were afraid to help themselves'.
Is anyone aware that these same draconian laws are being passed in our once White countries now?
California is banning the bible and scriptural counseling. Christians are being forced to serve homosexual customers. It's racist to observe a White holiday, but it's ok to celebrate Black history month, Cinco de Mayo, Gay Pride, and Halloween!
Judas Defeats Nicanor
Judas calls his men together and tells them to be brave, …
2Maccabees 8:17 And to set before their eyes the injury that they had unjustly done to the holy place, and the cruel handling of the city, whereof they made a mockery, and also the taking away of the government of their forefathers (ancestral way of life):
8:18 For they, said he, trust in their weapons and boldness; but our confidence is in the Almighty Who at a beck can cast down both them that come against us, and also all the world.
8:21 Thus when he had made them bold with these words, and ready to die for the law and the country, he divided his army into four parts;
8:22 And joined with himself his own brethren, leaders of each band, to wit Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving each one fifteen hundred men.
8:23 Also he appointed Eleazar to read the holy book: and when he had given them this watchword, The help of God; himself leading the first band,
8:24 And by the help of the Almighty they slew above nine thousand of their enemies, and wounded and maimed the most part of Nicanor's host, and so put all to flight;
8:25 And took their money that came to buy them, and pursued them far: but lacking time they returned:
8:26 For it was the day before the sabbath, and therefore they would no longer pursue them.
8:27 So when they had gathered their armour together, and spoiled their enemies, they occupied (kept) themselves about the sabbath, yielding exceeding praise and thanks to Yahweh, who had preserved them unto that day, which was the beginning of mercy distilling upon them.
8:28 And after the sabbath, when they had given part of the spoils to the maimed, and the widows, and orphans, the residue they divided among themselves and their servants.
Notice, they were protected and victorious because they kept the sabbath. They ceased from pursuit of the enemy because they kept the sabbath. They occupied the sabbath day with praise and thanks to Yahweh for preserving and delivering them, because they kept the sabbath. They also honored Yahweh by following the second great commandment, which is 'love thy kinsmen'. The army gave the spoils to the maimed, the widows and orphans, and split the rest among themselves and their servants. This is what the body of Christ is all about.
Nicanor's Arrogance
2Maccabees 15:1 But Nicanor, hearing that Judas and his company were in the strong places about Samaria, resolved without any danger to set upon them on the sabbath day.
15:2 Nevertheless the Judahites that were compelled to go with him said, O destroy not so cruelly and barbarously, but give honour to that day, which He, that seeth all things, hath honoured with holiness above all other days (set-apart above all other days).
15:3 Then the most ungracious wretch demanded, if there were a Mighty one in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath day to be kept.
The Geneva has this verse as a question. Is there a Mighty One in heaven, that commanded the Sabbath day to be kept?
15:4 And when they said, There is in heaven a living Yahweh, and mighty, Who commanded the seventh day to be kept:
15:5 Then said the other (he), And I also am mighty upon earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king's business. Yet he obtained not to have his wicked will done (Notwithstanding, he could not accomplish his wicked enterprise).
Sabbath day in the Greek is sabbaton (G4521). The seventh day of each week which was a sacred festival on which the Israelites were required to abstain from all work. It's origin comes from the Hebrew word shabbath (H7676). The shabbath is a holy cessation and intermission from work.
Plucking Grain on the Shabbath
Matthew 12:1 At that time Jesus (Yahshua) went on the sabbath day (G4521- sabbaton) through the corn (grain); and His disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn (grain), and to eat.
12:2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto Him, Behold, Your disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day (G4521).
The Pharisees were Edomite Jews posing as Israelites. The Jewish Pharisees did not follow the Torah and had changed the Torah into their own 'traditions' (takanot).
Deuteronomy 23:25 When you comest into the standing grain of your neighbour, then you mayest pluck the ears with your hand; but you shalt not move a sickle unto your neighbour's standing grain.
The Jews made added decrees not found in scripture which they ruled over the people with.
12:3 But He said unto them, Have you not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
12:4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? (1 Sam 21:1-6)(Lev 24;9)
12:5 Or have you not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days (G4521- sabbaton) the priests in the temple profane the sabbath (G4521- sabbaton), and are blameless? (Lev 24:5-8; Num 28:9-10)
Speaking of the shewbread, which was only for the priests, but Yahweh is a merciful God and cares more for compassion than sacrifice. The priests were also on duty on the sabbaths, as they carried out the sacrificial ordinances of the sabbath day.
12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is One greater than the temple.
Speaking of Himself.
12:7 But if you had known what this meaneth, I will have (desire) mercy (compassion), and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless.
Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Mercy versus the letter of the law. David and his men were hungry.
The Jews show no mercy for the sheep. The Jews have no mercy for the sheep.
12:8 For the Son of man (Adam) is Master even of the sabbath day (G4521). (Gen 2:2-3)(Mark 2:23-28; Luke 6:1-5)
The reference takes us back to Genesis 2:2-3 where we began. The foundation for the sabbath and that it is a set-apart day, blessed, and consecrated. Part of the definition includes cursed. Why cursed? Because if you don't follow it, just like if you don't follow His other commandments, you are cursed (Psa 119:21,118; Jer 26:4-6; Matt 25:41).
Deuteronomy chapter 28 is all about the blessings from obedience (verses 1-14) and the curses from disobedience (verses 15-68).
The 'churches' teach that the law was done away with, even the food laws and feast days!
The fourth Commandment is...
Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
The second witness is...
Deuteronomy 5:12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as Yahweh your God hath commanded you. (and 13-15)
The 'church'-goer suffocating in his pew would say, “That's the OT and the OT is for the Jews, this is the NT and we are under grace now, not the law”.
Silly Jewdeo Kwistian, tricks are for Himey's kids.
Well, here's the NT commandments.
Luke 4:16 And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up: and, as His custom (G1486- etho) was, He went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luke 23:55 And the women also, which came with Him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how His body was laid.
23:56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
Acts 17:2 And Paul, as his manner (G1486- etho- custom) was, went in unto them (of Thessalonica), and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, (18:4)
Hebrews 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest (G4520- sabbatismos) to the people of God.
Sabbatismos is a keeping sabbath. From G4521 sabbaton, the 7th day of each week, a sacred, set-apart day and cessation from work.
1John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in Him (Yahshua Christ) ought himself also so to walk, even as He (Christ) walked.
2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning (Gen 2:2-3). The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning (Joh 1:1; 1Jn 1:1).
There is no excuse, we've heard the commandment from the beginning of Genesis and from the beginning of the New Testament, and from the beginning of Christ's ministry.
1John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
2:25 And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life.
The Resurrection of Yahshua
Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath (G4521), as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
The sabbath was ending because the new day was dawning.
The Burial of Yahshua
Mark 15:42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath (G4315- prosabbaton),
15:43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved (asked for) the body of Yahshua.
Prosabbaton is used once and it means the day before the sabbath.
After Yahshua heals a crippled woman on the sabbath...
Luke 13:14 And the ruler of the synagogue (assembly hall) answered with indignation, because that Yahshua had healed on the sabbath day (G4521), and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath (G4521) day (G2250). (Exo 20:9-10; Deut 5:13-14)
13:15 The Master then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath (G4521) loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath (G4521) day (G2250)?
13:17 And when He had said these things, all His adversaries were ashamed (put to shame): and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.
Sabbath day is G4521 sabbaton, referring to the 7th day, the sacred set-apart day of rest.
Sabbath G4521 day G2250 is hemera tou sabbaton, day of the sabbath, which refers to the daytime between sunrise and sunset, which would be 12 hours.
Luke 13:16 and 14:5 show that it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day.
Feeding and watering your livestock and pulling them out of the ditch on the sabbath day is OK with Yahweh.
Yahshua went up to Jerusalem to keep the feast. This would be the 2nd of 4 Passovers and Feast of Unleavened Bread during His ministry. He heals a lame man on the sabbath. The Edomite serpent seed Jew Pharisees were upset that Christ was upsetting their medical mafia malpractice which kept the people sick in body and sick in mind.
John 5:10 The (Edomite) Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day (G4521): it is not lawful for you to carry your bed. (Jer 17:21)
The Jew Pharisees followed the letter of the law. They did not praise the healing and only focused on their attack. The Rabid Rabbis pressed this law to include carrying a burden of any kind. They also did not show mercy, which, silly Rabbi, Yahweh desires mercy over sacrifice. The Jews profited from every law the people broke, even the added laws and decrees (takanot) the Jew Pharisees invented, because the people would have to bring an offering for their so-called sin to the counterfeit Edomite Jew Priesthood. Business was booming in those days.
The Jews also forgot that Yahshua Christ is the Master of the Sabbath.
In the book of Acts, the sabbath is mentioned 9 times. All about preaching and reading to the people on the sabbath day. From the ascension of Yahshua Christ to chapter 18 which covers events in 51 AD, the sabbath day was kept, as well as the feast days. Showing that nothing has changed regarding the sabbath days.
Acts is a book of transition from the BC days of the covenant with a priesthood and its rituals and oblations to the AD days of the covenant without the priesthood and its rituals and oblations because Jesus Christ fulfilled those ordinances. The people didn't just stop the sacrificing and using the priesthood as mediators to God right away because most of them didn't understand what had happened when Christ died. The Jewish priesthood knew what they were doing because it profited them to continue it, and still do to this day, because they deny that Yahshua is the Messiah.
In chapter 14 Paul teaches us not to condemn one another over personal decisions.
Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth (separates) one day above another: another esteemeth (separates) every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded (assured) in his own mind.
14:6 He that regardeth (minds) the day (the sabbath), regardeth (minds) it unto Yahweh; and he that regardeth (minds) not the day (the sabbath), to Yahweh he doth not regard (mind) it. He that eateth, eateth to Yahweh, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to Yahweh he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
1Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory (honor) of Yahweh.
14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
1Corinthians 6:19 What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have of Yahweh, and you are not your own?
14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Master; and whether we die, we die unto the Master: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Master's.
Paul is teaching that we should not judge each other's decisions in worship and in life, as long as it is in alignment with The Way.
Yahweh gives each of us different amounts of understanding. Sometimes the little differences between us are a test to see how we respond to doubtful disputations and arguments over what scripture says. Some things are just fact and are indisputable, but some things are not so clear. For example: what day is the sabbath? Some say Sunday, some say Saturday, some go by the Hebrew Solar Calendar of Yahweh.
If you want to observe a Sunday sabbath, that's fine, just be consistent and celebrate it correctly with understanding, reverence, gladness and praise.
That is why Paul said “he who keeps the Sunday sabbath, keeps it unto Yahweh”, and “he who keeps the sabbath according to Yahweh's Solar Calendar, keeps it unto Yahweh”. Both sabbath-keepers are keeping a sabbath unto Yahweh.
Whatsoever you do, do it to the glory of YAHWEH.

Paul Reproves the Galatians
Galatians 4:8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, you served those which by nature are not gods.
4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, and still more being known by God, how turn ye again to the weak (unfirm) and elementary matters, whereunto ye desire again to be enslaved? (Col 2:8,20)
4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Gay Pride Day, Cinco de Mayo, MLK day, Jewish Jesus revivals.
4:11 I fear for you, whether or not I have toiled for you without purpose.
What the 'churches' don't understand is that they serve the wrong master. The way they live and everything they do is for a Jewish Jesus and for the Devil. Their faith is based on false doctrines that come in 33,000 flavors. You can't serve Yahweh while you are serving the counterfeit, even if you are doing it in ignorance.
It matters Who and what we believe.
Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge (condemn) you in meat (food), or in drink, or in respect of an holyday (G1859), or of the new moon (months), or of the sabbath (G4521) days: (Mat 18:15-20; Rom 14:1-6)
2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ (the Anointed, the group). (Mat 18:15-20)
The footnote reads 'The Body of Messiah is to give ruling on all matters, not the outsiders!'
The body of Christ is referring to the Anointed Israelite people. The context is Paul criticizing the 'commandments of men' (takanot), the doctrines and added decrees of the Jewish Pharisees which they ruled over the people with. That Jesus Christ's death also blotted out the handwriting of ordinances, or rather, the dogmas and traditions of the Jews which stood against them (the people).
The body of true Christians are to give ruling over all matters of worship and lifestyle, not the 'churches' or the alien races who are now in authority, they don't understand or follow the truth.
Hebrews 3:11 So I sware in My wrath, (Whether) they shall enter into My rest (G2663- resting place).) (Psa 95:7-11)
'Rest', is the period of peace, the next age.
The context is the warning against unbelief, which includes disobedience and failure to keep His ways. Yahweh was grieved of the disobedient Israelites during the Exodus, which is why that generation was destroyed in the wilderness and did not enter the Promised land.
3:18 And to whom sware He that they should not enter into His rest (G2663- resting place), but to them that believed not (the unpersuadable ones, the willfully disobedient)?
3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief (disobedience).
The OT is presented as a model, and is compared to the Kingdom age yet to come. Yahweh's ways and commands are to prepare us for entering into His rest.
Rest is G2663 katapausis (kat-ap'-ow-sis), which means a resting place, metaphorically the coming kingdom which He has promised to His obedient children after the toils and trial of this mortal life are ended.
Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear (reverence), lest (since), a promise being left us of entering into His rest (G2663- resting place), any of you should seem to come short of it.
4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed (united) with faith (The Belief) in them that heard it.
4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest (G2663- the resting place), as He said, As I have sworn in My wrath, if (whether) they shall enter into My rest (G2663- resting place): although the works were finished from the foundation of the world (society). (Psa 95:11)
The Greek reads the last part as 'and though the works being become from downcasting (disruption) of the system.'
The world system was disrupted when Yahshua Christ died. The path to His rest was established in the Garden of Eden when Adam fell and this test of life began.
We will not enter into Yahweh's rest unless and until we obey Him.
4:4 For He spake in a certain place (Gen 2:2) of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest (G2664- katapauo- ceased) the seventh day from all His works.
We can look at the Exodus as a model. Yahweh took our ancestors by the hand out of Egypt. Gave them the law, and instructed them in His Ways. They still failed the test because they didn't follow His Ways. Only Joshua, Caleb, and the generations born in the wilderness entered into the Promised Land, or period of peace (rest).
4:5 And in this place again (Psa 95:11), If (Whether) they shall (should) enter into My rest (G2663- resting place).
4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief (disobedience, they were unpersuaded):
Referring to the Israelites that were given the laws. Yahweh punished with various forms of death the unbelievers in the desert. The children of disobedience.
Rest in the Psalms is H4496 menuchah, and is a resting place, it also means matrimony. So we see that this represents the marriage of our people to Yahshua when He returns, which is when we enter into His resting place!
4:7 Again, He limiteth (determines) a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts. (Psa 95:7)
4:8 For if Jesus (Joshua) had given them rest (G2664- verb), then would He not afterward have spoken of another day. (Deut 31:7; Jos 22:4)
4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest (G4520- sabbatismos) to the people of God.
The 'rest' that will come is when the Kingdom comes. The people of God are the children of Israel. Rest is sabattismos, which means Sabbath-keeping. The blessed rest from this life's toils and troubles.
4:10 For he that is entered into His rest (G2663- resting place), he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His. (Gen 2:2)
Are we done with our work here yet? No. We have yet to enter into His rest. Nobody is 'saved' yet. Time to observe the day of rest in order to be qualified to enter into His Kingdom age of rest.
4:11 Let us labour (be eager, diligent) therefore to enter into that rest (G2663- the kingdom age resting place), lest any man fall after the same example (pattern) of unbelief (unpersuadableness, disobedience).
The same example of our forefathers who fell in the desert for their disobedience and lack of reverencing the appointed days.
So how do we keep the Sabbath Day?
If you want to observe it according to the Hebrew Solar Calendar, find out what day the Sabbath is by viewing the Calendar here https://www.thinkoutsidethebeast.com/calendar/
They are available every year for a $20 donation.
You can keep a Sunday Sabbath, or Saturday. The idea is not to argue over which day the Sabbath is, but what is important is keeping 1 out of 7 week days and setting it apart to honor and obey the Father.
It is also important that you don't buy or sell on the Sabbath. Do all your errands, buying and selling, laundry, house chores, and even prepare your meals the day before (prosabbaton). Relax and take it easy. The Sabbath is a day of rest. Get into scripture, fellowship with friends and family, rejoice with thankfulness and gladness, and Praise Yahweh!
Personally I observe the Sabbath according to the Hebrew Solar Calendar of Yahweh.
I am in construction, so when the Sabbath falls on a week day I am mindful of the Sabbath day, and Praise Yahweh for it, and since I have workers, customers and a business to run, I set aside Sunday as the day I physically and spiritually observe as the Sabbath. I do all my errands, business, banking, grocery shopping, laundry, and whatever else I need to get done during the week or on Saturday. Then come Sunday I simply relax and cease from all work and enjoy the day immersing myself in the Word, getting some Son, and spending time with the family.
When I retire, I plan to keep the Sabbath day on the day of the week which ever day it falls on for that year. It's different every year because it depends on which day the Spring Equinox is each year.
Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of an Holyday, or of the new month, or of sabbaths.
We are all stuck in this satanic society, wicked system, and evil age. We must stick together and not argue over the small stuff. We can only do what we can only do.
Again, it's all about following the law to the best of your ability. It's the sincerity, loyalty, and commitment to these commandments Yahweh desires. It's the effort He is looking for. That is why He is a merciful God and He wants you to know Him and keep His Holy Days.
