Icebro, I feel it also, the pieces are coming together the stay is being set for the beginning of the end, things will get worse before they get better.
Even though I agree with POIC, have a blessed Sabbath, there is nothing wrong with setting aside a day to vacation with God!
Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it (Hebrew: Zakhor et yom ha-Shabbat l'kad'sho) -Exodus 20:8
We are commanded to remember Shabbat; but remembering means much more than merely not forgetting to observe Shabbat. It also means to remember the significance of Shabbat, both as a commemoration of creation by God and as a commemoration of our freedom from slavery in Egypt.
In Deuteronomy 5:15, while Moses reiterates the Ten Commandments, he notes the second thing that we must remember on Shabbat: "remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord, your God brought you forth from there with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to observe the Sabbath day."
What did Jews have to do with resting on the seventh day? It's all about freedom. In ancient times, leisure was confined to certain classes, slaves did not get days off. Thus, by resting on Shabbat, we are reminded that we are FREE. We are FREE because God Jesus made us FREE of our sins and slavery of sins. That�s why we are His children adopted by God!
Observe the Sabbath day to sanctify it (Hebrew: Shamor et yom ha-Shabbat l'kad'sho) -Deuteronomy 5:12
Why some of works were forbidden on Shabbat?
The Torah prohibits "melachah" (Mem-Lamed-Alef-Kaf-Hei), which is usually translated as "work," but does not mean precisely the same thing as the English word. Melachah generally refers to the kind of work that is creative, or that exercises control or dominion over your environment.
But all of Shabbat restrictions can be violated if necessary to save a life.
So, what is the purpose of Shabbat? God said that we should be FREE of everything what separate us from Him. This day was a day of remembrance that NOTHING should separate us from God. We should be FREE. Thus, this day is just one of the symbols of God used to COMMAND us that we should be FREE though FAITH in Him if we need eternal life! If we His people! His Israel/Church of God founded by Him! And ONLY God Jesus made us FREE of our sins by accepting all our sins to His HOLY body on the cross.
Those who follow rituals cannt satisfy God. God COMMANDS you to be FREE!
Knowing that devote a day of your week to come closer to God to express your gratitude for His Salvation and Freedom- this is our Shabbat. It is a day to worship God among brothers in Church. That�s why our Shabbat on Sunday or on every day when we remember what God Jesus did for us and we express our gratitude to Him. A ritual without worship of God Jesus is nothing.
If you do not work and rest by being a slave of your sins and if you are not worshipping God Jesus, then celebrating a FREEDOM, you are a slave and not free�..God COMMANDS you to be FREE! This Freedom is only possible though FAITH in His Son Jesus!
