Sabbath on the Seventh Day

by | Feb 24, 2022 | Scripture Studies

Exodus 20

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. For six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the Lord your God; on it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male slave or your female slave, or your cattle, or your [g]resident who [h]stays with you. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; for that reason the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Hebrew word of the day!

Kodesh

Meaning “holy”, or otherwise, “set apart”. As we see in this chapter, Abba (our Father) has commanded us to remember this holy day, the seventh day of the week. He not only commanded the people of Israel, but the foreigner as well. 

We find in Isaiah 56:6-7 that YHWH (God) will bless the foreigner who keeps the Sabbath. 

“Also the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
To attend to His service and to love the name of the Lord,
To be His servants, every one who keeps the Sabbath so as not to profane it,
And holds firmly to My covenant;
Even those I will bring to My holy mountain,
And make them joyful in My house of prayer.

Simply put, we see it before our eyes in His word (many times at that), that we are commanded to keep the Sabbath on the seventh day of the week. No man can change that!
