The words are written in the book of Hebrews: “Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it … For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, and God did rest the seventh day from all his works … There remaineth therefore a rest (Sabbath) to the people of God … Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest” (Hebrews 4:1-11).
Do you understand what God is saying through those words? He’s flat out saying the reason He included a restful 7th Day Sabbath in His Creation story was for it to be a prophetic picture of the rest the believers will enjoy during the seventh period of time! This is the restful, peaceful, Earthly, 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ and all His resurrected saints spoken of in The Revelation chapter 20. Amazing, isn’t it?
Furthermore, the underlined word “rest” in the above passage is from the original Greek word “sabbatismos” meaning: Sabbath-rest, Sabbath observance. In other words, with one broad sweeping verse in the New Testament, God confirmed “Sabbath observance” still REMAINS for God’s people, and that each week they keep it, it is a loving picture of the soon coming fulfillment of the 7th Day Sabbath in His glorious 7 Day (7,000 solar year) Master Time Plan. Hallelujah!
Blessed Sabbath to ALL,
Gabriel
Approximately 780 Weeks (Sabbaths) Remaining Till Christ's Return!
