SABBATH: Has the ultimate seventh-day rest already happened?

Updated: Jan 2, 2022

๐’๐š๐›๐›๐š๐ญ๐ก: A ritual that helps you keep Jesus first in your life isn't a bad thing. Good for you if it helps. But do not condemn others or create a barrier for entry into the family of Jesus for others if they


Paul gets really worked up in the NT about anyone trying to create a barrier to people receiving the Grace of God. Speak the truth in love and let the Holy Spirit do the convicting.


Do not make the Sabbath or the Law a stumbling block for other believers or make them question their salvation. We shouldn't condemn others or create a barrier for entry into the family of Jesus And vice-versa.

If you do not partake in the Sabbath in the way of setting aside a day, do not condemn those who do.

๐’๐€๐๐๐€๐“๐‡: Has the ultimate seventh-day rest already happened? Learn what the book of Hebrews has to say about this question, and discover why there were seven stories of rebellion when the Israelites wandered in the wilderness.


๐Š๐„๐˜ ๐“๐€๐Š๐„๐€๐–๐€๐˜๐’ from the podcast linked below:

*The book of Hebrews is written to Messianic Jews who are extremely familiar with the Old Testament. *Hebrews 3 is built around a long quote from Psalm 95, which is a psalm reflecting on Israelโ€™s failure to enter into the promised land of rest. *Israel rebelled seven times against the Lord in the wilderness. *The ultimate seventh day rest has been inaugurated by Jesus, but has not seen its complete fulfillment yet.

If we can put our modern controversies aside and ask what the seventh day meant to ancient Israelites, a whole new world opens up, literally and metaphorically! The seventh day is a common biblical theme that is repeated in dozens of stories and poems throughout the Hebrew Bible. The number seven is spelled with the same letters as the Hebrew word "complete" or "full," and itโ€™s an image of complete goodness.

I rest in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross. The jubilee of jubilees!

The ultimate rest.
