Sabbath: The Basic Version: Growers Series, #1

By Modise Tlharesagae

One thing has concerned me over the years about the Sabbath, because there are those who shun it and those who keep it. Yet there is none that can give you a vivid explanation of why they keep it or do not keep it.

The key reason being because God kept it or sanctified it or for the one who shun it would say it is Old Covenant. And yet there are those who will simply tell you Christ is their Sabbath and the question becomes, how did a day become a man? Does even Christ say that he is the Sabbath or it is just an excuse to avoid the reality of the knowledge of the Sabbath escaping our notion?

To the utter dismay of many, the Sabbath is only a day younger than Adam and began in His time and season. Meaning it comes from way before the Old Covenant and this book is not about keeping or not keeping it but it is the book that explains the Sabbath; its origination, inception, power and effects on man.

Prologue

ONE OF THE GRAND AND best kept secrets of the Christian fraternity is the Sabbath. This being the product of the revelation availed to Prophet Moses; the Lord did not indwell the reason why the congregation had to keep His tradition of keeping the Sabbath. But rather He just gave Moses the simplistic definition; ...because I have finished my work on the Friday and rested on the Sabbath, but we hear a totally new interpretation in the book of Hebrews, that who has entered the real Sabbath is done with matters of this world. Meaning what is kept here on earth is the shadow of what God did in keeping the Sabbath.

What usually pains understanding is the concerted meaning of the authoring and implementation of the Sabbath day here on earth. Is it enough to just sanctify a day for a memorial just because we finished our work on it? Or was there a deeper meaning to it than met the revelation given Moses. Yet a more profound question is would you agree to a temporary covenant in keeping a shadow of the truth? Then it seems fit that Israel could not be told the real meaning for it would define the stone covenant a temporal measure whereas there is the actual that shall be kept by all.

HEBREWS 8:10 KJV For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

My compounded study of the subject matter of the Sabbath also revealed a startling truth, that because of the sin nature of this realm that we have been redeemed of, we cannot have our real Sabbath here nor eternal life. That is why the Lord says in the next life or when we have entered the real Sabbath or His rest, shall we then be given eternal life. In other words, as He had to lose His life for Him to enter the true Holy of Holies, so are we; to be the children of the resurrection to partake of both the permanent rest and to have the life eternal.

MARK 10:30 KJV But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and
