WHAT IS SABBATH
In Old Testament, the Sabbath is a day set aside for rest and worship. According to the Book of Exodus, the Sabbath is a day of rest on the seventh day, commanded by God to be kept as a holy day of rest, as God rested from creation.
Remember the sabbath to keep it holy, but the TRUTH is man can not keep the sabbath, and the blood of bulls and goat can not change or affect man’s nature, it only covers sin
Note: God created us in his own image and likness and rested. Note that word RESTED, how can we be like him when we continue to sin, thats why God Almighty decided to give man another sabbath, by dwelling in man, to rest from all troubles, no more struggling to be holy by the power that worketh in us, the Holy Ghost. Giving us a perfect sacrifice.
Hebrews 10:14 (KJV)
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Hebrews 10:1 (KJV)
1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
John 4:21 (KJV)
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
THE SABBATH DAY IS NOT CHANGED, rather the fufillment has come, so we don’t need the shadow again, we are in REALITY a new dispensation. We are no longer under the law sacrificing with the blood of bull and lambs.
Colossians 2:16-17 (KJV)
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Titus 3:9 (KJV)
9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Colossians says the body is of Christ, I DON’T NEED THE BLOOD OF BULLS FOR PURIFICATION, I ONLY NEED THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
ONCE AGAIN, THE SABBATH IS NOT CHANGED, THE PRIESTHOOD WAS CHANGED, OUR HIGH PRIEST IS NOW CHRIST JESUS.
1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV)
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;Christ fufills the sabbath, just like he fufills both Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:23.
Isaiah 7:14 (KJV)
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Matthew 1:23 (KJV)
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
These scriptures are being fufilled, WE ARE NO LONGER WAITING FOR A VIRGIN BIRTH, IS BEING FULFILLED. So the sabbath is being fulfill.
In the Old Testament, the ark of God was in the Holy of Holies was covered by a veil, and no one was allowed to enter except the High Priest, and even the Priest needs purification before he could enter, and is once a year on Yom Kippur, to offer the blood of sacrifice and incense.
WHEN JESUS CHRIST DIED, THE VEIL TORN IN TWO, THERE WAS NO MORE HOLY OF HOLIES, THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND LAMBS WAS THEN REPLACED WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST
We don’t need to travel to Jerusalem to offer sacrifice again. 2 Timothy 4:2 (KJV)
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 (KJV)
Pray without ceasing.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
