The Old Sabbath and the New Christian Sabbath


THE OLD SABBATH AND THE NEW CHRISTIAN SABBATH



After creating Heaven and earth in six days the LORD GOD rested and established the Sabbath.


Moses wrote: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Genesis 1:1

“And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” Genesis 1:31

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.” Genesis 2:2 

And GOD said: “Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.” Leviticus 23:3

And therefore the LORD told Moses: “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:11  

Yea, JESUS brought in a better way for observing the Sabbath.

After completing the work that the FATHER sent Him to do, He was Crucified on a Friday and was buried the same the next day being the Old Testament Sabbath, and His Body  being at a complete rest He fulfilled the Old Sabbath ,and seeing that completed His bodily work then GOD raised Him from the dead on the first day of the week establishing the New Christian Sabbath.   

Then there is where JESUS told His peers: “Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” Matthew 16:28  

The LORD told Moses: “And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete: [16] Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord.” Leviticus 23:15-16

Then there is Pentecost, after doing the math you see that JESUS came in His Kingdom on the first day of the week which is to say on the Christian Sabbath.

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.” Acts 20:7
