 Introduction In the very beginnings of the heavens and earth, the living Sovereign LORD God created and designed the Sabbath day. The Sabbath (Shabbat) means the living God’s blessing of rest and renewal with Him. The living God of heaven and earth created an eternal day of blessed rest for all His creation so His creation can spend a holy time and day with Him in worship, and also so they recharge and renew physically, emotionally, and spiritually after working six (6) days of ordinary work. The Sabbath day rest emphasized God over money by stopping one day of regular work to worship and praise God. Without proper worship and rest, human strength and creativity fail. Also, the living God created the Sabbath day not only to worship Him but also to prevent burnout so His creation can recharge to sustain high performance for God’s glory and honor on earth. Even more, the Sabbath day is important because the Sabbath remembers and recognizes the living God as our only true King and Creator. Sabbath and Creation God’s eternal Sabbath commandment of rest has existed since the beginning of all creation, and the Sabbath is built into creation. In fact, the Sabbath (Shabbat) day existed before the Law of God given at Mount Sinai to Moses and the Israelites. The living God created and formed the heavens and earth with all its hosts in six days with wisdom. After working six days, the living God saw that all He had created and made was good, and so He rested from all His creative work and labor on the seventh day. The Sabbath day is not only for the Jewish (Hebrew) people but for all of God’s creation and humankind. The prophet Isaiah stated that happiness and blessings come to everyone who observes and obeys the Sabbath rest of God and keeps themselves from doing evil. Also, the living God spoke through the prophet Jeremiah and commanded the people to perform no ordinary work nor carry loads on His day - Shabbat, which will lead to their blessings, rest, and renewal. For six days, Adonai commanded everyone to complete their ordinary work and regular chores, but the seventh day is a Sabbath (Shabbat) for complete rest and set apart as holy for Him. Sabbath and the Law of God The Sabbath was so important to the living Sovereign LORD God as a holy and blessed day devoted to Him that He later included the Sabbath (Shabbat) requirement in His Ten Commandments and eternal covenant given at Mount Sinai (Horeb). The living God came down upon Mount Sinai and spoke from heaven His eternal commandments and covenant, which included the holy Sabbath day rest for the good of all people, and to stop regular work. After speaking from Mount Sinai (Horeb), the living God wrote with His holy finger on two stone tablets His eternal Ten Commandments, which included the command to observe and rest from ordinary work on His Sabbath (Shabbat) day. Moreover, the Holy Bible speaks of the Sabbath year and the Year of Jubilee. The eternal covenant recognizes the Sabbath year, the seventh year in which the land receives complete rest so it can be refreshed, regenerated, and renewed. In addition, the book of Leviticus recognizes the Year of Jubilee, which is seven sabbath years - seven times seven years of rest or the 50th year. During the Year of Jubilee, the living God commanded that all debts be cancelled, the liberation (freedom) of the slaves and indentured servants, and the return of all land to their original owners. New Testament and the Sabbath The New Testament recognizes and references the Sabbath (Shabbat) day as a sacred and holy day of rest with no ordinary or regular work. Christ Jesus (Messiah Yeshua) our Lord, and the New Testament writers acknowledged the importance of the Sabbath (Shabbat) as a holy day. During His time on earth, Christ Jesus our Lord never violated the holy Sabbath commanded by His Holy Father. Christ Jesus as His custom regularly attended the weekly synagogue service on the Sabbath (Shabbat) day to teach from the Torah and Prophets and also to fellowship and worship His Holy Father with others. Significantly, Christ Jesus gave the Sabbath a new and fuller meaning. Christ Jesus announced in the New Testament that He had come to declare a Jubilee. During His ministry on earth, Christ Jesus announced Himself and His mission to the world as a Jubilee, because He had come to set the captives free from Satan’s sin and bondage, and to bring the LORD’s healing, grace, rest, peace, and restoration from heaven. The Old Testament prophet Isaiah predicted that the Messiah (Christ) would bring a Jubilee of healing, freedom, and restoration. Christ Jesus declared He is our Jubilee, and He is the “time for the LORD’s favor” and grace. Lord of the Sabbath Notably, Christ Jesus proclaimed that He is the Lord of the Sabbath. The living Sovereign LORD God of heaven and earth has given ALL authority, power, and dominion to His Son, Christ Jesus our Lord, including the Sabbath...
