What is the Sabbath?

Article Category: Religion

Author Name: Chris Eleam

Under the Mosaic {Law|Legislation|Rule|Regulation} the sabbatical system {included|consisted of|featured} {a weekly|a regular|an once a week} Sabbath day, {as well as|in addition to|along with|and also} {additional|extra|added} {specific|particular|certain} days throughout {each year|every year|annually|yearly}, the seventh year was {considered|thought about|taken into consideration} a Sabbath year and the 50th year was a Sabbath year (jubilee year). {According to|Baseding on} the Jewish calendar the {weekly|regular|once a week} Sabbath was the seventh day of their calendar week which was from {sunset|sundown} on Friday {until|till} {sunset|sundown} on {Saturday|Sunday|Weekend}. {Many|Numerous|Lots of|Several} Christians today {have|have actually} {traditionally|typically|generally|commonly|customarily} kept Sunday as their day of {rest|remainder} and of {worship|praise|prayer}; {however|nevertheless|nonetheless} others {have|have actually} {adhered to|followed|stuck to|abided by} the day {{set|established|specified} {aside|apart}|reserved|alloted} on the Jewish calendar which {would|would certainly} be {Saturday|Sunday|Weekend}. The word Sabbath is {taken from|drawned from} the Hebrew sha � vath �, {meaning|implying|indicating|suggesting} "{rest|remainder}, {cease|stop|end|discontinue}, desist.".
The Genesis account of {creation|production|development} {says|states|claims|points out} that on the seventh day Jehovah {God|The lord} {rested|relaxed} from his {creative|innovative|imaginative|artistic} {works|jobs|do business|operates}, {however|nevertheless|nonetheless} {God|The lord}'s {people|individuals} were {instructed|advised} to {observe|note} a 24-hour day {rest|remainder} or Sabbath and this was {{during|throughout} the time|while} of Moses. This is well {illustrated|shown} for us after the Israelites left Egypt, {God|The lord} {miraculously|amazingly|incredibly|astonishingly} {provided|offered|supplied|gave} {food|meals} for them in the {form|type|kind} mana while they {were in|had|joined} the {wilderness|wild}. The {instructions|directions|guidelines} they {received|got|obtained} were {six|6} days you {will|will certainly} {pick|choose|select} it up {but|however|yet} on the seventh day is the Sabbath. Then at Exodus 16:30 we are {told|informed} that "{the {people|individuals}|individuals} {proceeded|continued} to {observe|note} the Sabbath on the seventh day from {sunset|sundown} on Friday {evening|night} to sunset on {Saturday|Sunday|Weekend} {evening|night}". That the Sabbath was not {commanded|influenced} {upon|after} any of {God|The lord}'s {servants|servers} {until|till} after the Exodus {is {evident|apparent|obvious|noticeable|visible}|appears} from the {testimony|testament} of Deuteronomy 5:2, 3 and Exodus 31:16, 17: "It was not {with|about} our {forefathers|predecessors|progenitors} that Jehovah {concluded|ended} this covenant, {but|however|yet} {with|about} us." "The {sons|boys|children} of Israel {must|should|need to|have to} keep the sabbath ... {during|throughout} their generations ... {Between|In between} me and the {sons|boys|children} of Israel it is {a sign|an indication|an indicator} to time {indefinite|uncertain}.".
{Further|Additional|More} {instructions|directions|guidelines} were {given|provided|offered} {concerning|worrying} the Sabbath {law|legislation|rule|regulation} in the 10 Commandments {given|provided|offered} to Moses. The {fourth|4th} commandment {stated|specified|mentioned|explained} {in {part|component}|partially|partly} that "{Remembering|Keeping in mind|Bearing in mind} the sabbath day to hold it sacred, you are to {render|leave|make} {service|solution} and you {must|should|need to|have to} do all your {work|job|do business|operate} {six|6} days. {But|However|Yet} the seventh day is a sabbath to Jehovah your {God|The lord}." (Exodus 20:8 -10) Sabbath-keeping {thus|therefore|hence} {became|came to be} {an integral|an essential|an important|an indispensable|an intrinsic|a fundamental} {part|component} of life for the Israelites.-- Deuteronomy 5:12. So then, this was a day {specifically|particularly|especially} {{set|established|specified} apart|distinguished} by {God|The lord} for {rest|remainder} from {regular|routine|normal} {labors|efforts|works}, and {{served|offered} as|functioned as|worked as|acted as} {a sign|an indication|an indicator} {between|in between} {him|your man|them} and the {sons|boys|children} of Israel. The Sabbath was {considered|thought about|taken into consideration} a sacred day of {rest|remainder} and rejoicing not {only|just} for the Israelites {{but|however|yet} for|but also for} their {servants|servers} and {alien|unusual} {residence|home|house}, and {God|The lord} {gave|provided|offered} {consideration|factor to consider} to the {animals|pets} {as well|also|too}, {ceasing|stopping|ending|discontinuing} from all {labors|efforts|works}. There were {specific|particular|certain} {occasions|events|celebrations|affairs} when the Sabbath did not {apply|use|administer}, such as priestly {duties|responsibilities|tasks|obligations}, that were not {curtailed|cut|reduced|stopped} on the Sabbath and {infants|babies|little ones} were circumcised on the Sabbath if that {happened|occurred|took place} to be there {eighth|8th} day of life.
The {Benefits|Advantages|Conveniences|Perks|Rewards} and {Importance|Significance|Value|Relevance|Usefulness} of the Sabbath;.
The {God|The lord} {given|provided|offered} and {directed|routed} Sabbath {requirements|demands|needs} {serve|offer} to {give|provide|offer} each {individual|specific|personal} Israelite {rest|remainder} physically {but|however|yet} {more|even more|additional} {importantly|significantly|notably} it {provided|offered|supplied|gave} {each one|every one} the {opportunity|possibility|chance} to personally {show|reveal} his {faith|belief} and {obedience|accordance} {through|with|via} the {observance|awareness|regard} of the Sabbath, the desisting from all {labor|effort|work} was not the {important|essential|crucial|vital} {factor|element|aspect|variable}. Each {parent|moms and dad} was {instructed|advised} to {inculcate|instill|ingrain} {into|in to} their {children|kids|youngsters}'s hearts and mind the {laws|legislations|rules|regulations} of {God|The lord}; {therefore|for that reason|as a result|consequently} the Sabbath {gave|provided|offered} {parents|moms and dads} the {opportunity|possibility|chance} to do this. The Sabbath {also|likewise|additionally|then} {gave|provided|offered} each Israelite time to {occupy|inhabit} himself by {taking in|absorbing} {knowledge|understanding|expertise|know-how} of {God|The lord} and {attending to|taking care of|addressing} spiritual {needs|requirements|demands|necessities}. And the Levites {who|that} were {scattered|spread} throughout the {land|property} doubtless {took {advantage|benefit|conveniences} of|benefited from|made the most of|capitalized on|made use of} the Sabbath to {teach|instruct|educate|show} the {Law|Legislation|Rule|Regulation} to {the {people|individuals}|individuals} of Israel.-- De 33:8, 10; Le 10:11. {{Violation|Infraction} of the Sabbath {law|legislation|rule|regulation} was {a very|an extremely|a really} {serious|major|severe|significant} {matter|issue|concern} {because|since|due to the fact that} it was {a rebellion|a disobedience|a defiance} {against|versus} Jehovah and the {punishment|penalty|consequence} was {death|fatality}.|{Because|Since|Due to the fact that} it was {a rebellion|a disobedience|a defiance} {against|versus} Jehovah and the {punishment|penalty|consequence} was {death|fatality}, {violation|infraction} of the Sabbath {law|legislation|rule|regulation} was {a very|an extremely|a really} {serious|major|severe|significant} {matter|issue|concern}.} It was {{vitally|extremely} {important|essential|crucial|vital}|essential} {for each|for every|for each and every} {individual|specific|personal} Israelite {to {remember|keep in mind|bear in mind}|to keep in mind|to bear in mind|to consider} to keep the Sabbath. {The Israelite {nation|country} as {a whole|an entire} were held {captive|restricted} in Babylon for 70 years and the {land|property} was desolated {{because|since|due to the fact that} of|due to|as a result of} their {failure|failing} to {observe|note} the Sabbath {law|legislation|rule|regulation}.|{Because|Since|Due to the fact that} of their {failure|failing} to {observe|note} the Sabbath {law|legislation|rule|regulation}, the Israelite {nation|country} as {a whole|an entire} were held {captive|restricted} in Babylon for 70 years and the {land|property} was desolated.} After the Jews return from Babylonian {captivity|bondage} in 539 B.C.E. the Jewish {religious|spiritual} {leaders|innovators|top earners} {gradually|slowly|progressively} made it {a burden|a concern|a worry|a problem|a trouble}, by {greatly|significantly|considerably|substantially} {increasing|enhancing|raising|boosting|improving} the Sabbath {restrictions|limitations|constraints|stipulations|regulations|limits} to 39 {with|about} {innumerable|countless|many|immeasurable|numerous} {lesser|lower|minimal} {restrictions|limitations|constraints|stipulations|regulations|limits}. These {restrictions|limitations|constraints|stipulations|regulations|limits} {negated|quashed} the {intended|desired|designated} {purpose|function} of the Sabbath of being {a joyous|a jubilant|a wondrous|a memorable|a wonderful} {spiritually|emotionally|mentally} up {building|structure} time. The {extreme|severe|harsh} to which the Jewish {religious|spiritual} {leaders|innovators|top earners} {went to|visited} {can|could|can easily} be seen in {some of|a few of|several of} the {laws|legislations|rules|regulations} they {instituted|set up|pioneered|originated}. {For {example|instance}|For instance|As an example} {catching|capturing|grabbing} a flea was {forbidden|prohibited} as {hunting|searching}. {A sufferer|A patient|A victim} {could|might|can|could possibly} not be {given|provided|offered} {relief|comfort} unless {death|fatality} {threatened|endangered}. A bone {could|might|can|could possibly} not be {set|established|specified}, nor {a sprain|a strain} bandaged. {The {true|real|correct}|Truth} {purpose|function} of the Sabbath was made void by these Jewish {religious|spiritual} {leaders|innovators|top earners}, for they made {the {people|individuals}|individuals} {slaves|toils} to {tradition|custom|practice}, {{instead|rather|as an alternative} of|rather than|as opposed to} having the Sabbath {serve|offer} {men|guys} to the {honor|respect} of {God|The lord}. (Mt 15:3, 6; 23:2 -4; Mr 2:27).
You {may|might|could} {recall|remember} when Jesus disciples {picked|chosen|selected|decided on} grain and {rubbed|massaged} it in their hands to {eat|consume}, this did not go {unnoticed|undetected|unseen} by the {religious|spiritual} {leaders|innovators|top earners} and they were {accused|implicated|indicted} on {two|2} {counts|matters}, {namely|specifically|particularly} {{harvesting|collecting|gathering} and threshing|threshing and {harvesting|collecting|gathering}} on the Sabbath.
Not {observed|noted} in the Christian {Congregation|Members}.
Jesus being a Jew and under the Mosaic {Law|Legislation|Rule|Regulation} {observed|noted} the Sabbath as {God|The lord}'s word {directed|routed}, {however|nevertheless|nonetheless} {according to|baseding on} the {inspired|motivated|encouraged|prompted|stimulated} Christian writings which {state|specify|mention|explain} "Christ is {the end|completion} of the {Law|Legislation|Rule|Regulation}" (Ro 10:4), which {results in|leads to|causes} Christians' being "{discharged|released} from the {Law|Legislation|Rule|Regulation}." (Ro 7:6). {{With|About} {regard|respect} to|For|About} the sacrifice that Christ Jesus made the Scriptures {plainly|clearly} state that his sacrifice" {abolish|eliminate} the {law|legislation|rule|regulation} of commandments consisting in decrees {and that|which} {God|The lord} {blotted out|removed} the handwritten {document|file|paper|record} {against|versus} us which {consisted of|included|contained} decrees and he {has|has actually} taken it out of the {way|method|means} by {nailing|toenailing} it to the {torture|abuse|martyrize} stake". {Thus|Therefore|Hence} the {entire|whole} system of Sabbath, whether they be {days or years|years or days} were {{brought|delivered} to|given|offered} its end {with|about} the {{rest|remainder} of the|other|remaining} {law|legislation|rule|regulation} by the sacrifice of Christ Jesus. This was {{pointed|aimed|directed} out|mentioned} by the apostle Paul to those {who|that} were scrupulously {observing|noting} "{days and months|months and days} and {seasons|periods|times} and years": "I {fear|are afraid|are afraid of} for you, that {somehow|in some way} I {have|have actually} {toiled|labored|worked} to no {purpose|function} {respecting|appreciating|valuing} you."-- Ga 4:10, 11. {Recall|Remember} the {penalty|charge|fine} the Israelites {faced|dealt with|encountered|experienced} for {failing|falling short} to {observe|note} the Sabbath, now was not {a concern|an issue|a worry} for Christians. This {explains|describes|discusses|clarifies} why Christians {can|could|can easily} {esteem|respect|value} "{one day|someday} as all others," whether it be a Sabbath or {{any|any type of|any kind of|any sort of} {other|various other}|other|every other} day, {{with|about} no|without|without any} {fear|worry|concern|anxiety} of judgment by {another|an additional|one more|yet another}. (Ro 14:4 -6; Col 2:16).
It{'s {interesting|fascinating|intriguing|appealing} to| interests} {note|keep in mind|take note} that it {wasn't|had not been} {until|till} 321 CE under the {direction|instructions} of Constantine {who|that} decreed Sunday (Latin {dies|passes away|perishes} Solis, {an old|an aged} title {{associated|linked|connected|affiliated} {with|about}|connected with|linked with} astrology and {sun|sunlight} {worship|praise|prayer}, not Sabbatum Sabbath or {dies|passes away|perishes} Domini Lord's day to be a day of {rest|remainder} for {all {but|however|yet}|almost|just about} the {farmers|planters}. This {action|activity} by Constantine {certainly|definitely} {contradicts|negates|disputes} the {foregoing|doing away with|bypassing} {information|info|details} we {have|have actually} {considered|thought about|taken into consideration} which makes it clear that {literal|actual} {observance|awareness|regard} of Sabbath {days and years|years and days} was not {a part|a component} of first-century Christianity.
