The Sabbath Day
Yahshua said: “Sabbath was made for man…”(Mark 2:27)
Did He say ‘For the Jews’? No, He said it was for mankind.
The word ‘man’ in this scripture is from the greek word, Anthropos, which means, human beings, or mankind.
This was not an Old Testament comment either, but a comment made by Yahshua Himself, when He was talking to the religious leaders of the day.
Yahweh has one, not two peoples in the earth. He is returning to a perfect bride, made up of Jew and Gentile. Israel was always open to Gentiles,
read how the ‘strangers’ have always been considered and included by Yahweh and cared for by Him, and adopted into His Israel, His bride to be.
Gentiles are called to be ‘partakers’ of the Olive tree and its root
(Romans 11)
Isaiah 56:2,6,7
“Blessed is the man…that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it.” “Also the sons of the stranger,
that join themselves to Yahweh…every one that
keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it,
and taketh hold of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer…for mine house shall
be called an house of prayer for all people.”
"Well, every day is a rest now!"
This is another argument against keeping Saturday
Sabbath. (Why do Gentiles insist
on having it their own way? Jewish people flood into Israel every year from all points of the globe, and no-one ever disputes which day should
be kept as Sabbath!)
Things haven’t changed, Yahweh does not change. His laws and commandments still stand, for all people who desire to be a part of His holy Kingdom.
Yahweh set up the Sabbath day as a ceasing from work and labour day long ago. He rested on and blessed the seventh day, and that blessing
has never been removed or changed onto any other day. Keeping His Commandment of honouring the Sabbath day will bring a unique blessing into
our lives.
The following link is for those desiring to read about when and how the Sabbath was inaugurated by Yahweh in His Covenant.
The inauguration of the
Sabbath Day.
Every day being a Sabbath 
is a popular
Christian doctrine. It means that no special day needs to be kept, as Yahshua has procured a rest for the
people of Yahweh because they have ceased
from their own works and now do His (if only...)
This is a daily rest some people propagate as a reason not to observe any particular day. Of course we understand that this means that the finished
work of Calvary invalidates the self effort once needed to keep the Commandments. We now, in Yahshua, having sins forgiven and the holy Spirit
residing in us no longer depend on 'our own works' but on His grace and power to give us victory over sin, thus enabling us to keep His instructions
and Commandments.
In Hebrews 4:2 Paul talks of the rest
for the people of Elohim (God).
This word ‘rest’ means to ‘settle down,’ ‘to colonise’ ‘to repose down’. It is a play on words. He is using their
understanding of the restfulness of Sabbath to make a point, not to invalidate the Sabbath day!
Not to instruct others not to keep the day which
He obviously kept! (For his activities on the Sabbath see: Acts 13:14: Paul and Barnabas observed the Sabbath in the synagogue in Antioch. See also
Acts 16:13, Acts 17:2, Acts 18:4 )
The Greek here for rest (Strongs 2663) means the same as the Hebrew (Strongs 4520) meaning the repose of believing in Yahshua like a type of heaven.
Of course there is this kind of rest in Yahshua, as we have indeed ‘ceased from our own works’ Paul would be horrified if he thought he had misled
us on this point, to break the Commandments of Yahweh!
