One of the grand and best kept secrets of the Christian faith is the Sabbath. And if you have made it through the number of thesis it took to come this far; you sure are now gnawing the bones. The Replete Thesis is meant to be the top tier of the Sabbath Series. Meaning this is where we finally grab the bull by the horns and conclude all things about the inception to the conclusion of Sabbath.
Without much further ado; here is the Replete thesis.
The Sabbath though mentioned as early as the second chapter of the first book of the Holy Bible being Genesis remains a mystery that many are yet to unravel. This mostly being owed to or being the product of the revelation given by/to Prophet Moses; the Lord did not indwell the reason why He and Adam and Eve had to meet only on Saturdays being once a week. Moses just says the Lord finished His work and so rested and established the day a Sabbath; because He rested on the day.
Genesis 2:2-3 KJV And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Moses simply says He rested from the work that He had made. He does not elaborate further that God Himself did go in to separation even in heaven. Where He separated self in to the Holy of Holies until man's redemption was sort and was due. One has to look carefully that with man being only a day old; God instantly goes in to Sabbath; a thing that means He takes a leave of absence from the matters of earth( a Sabbatical Leave); except for His once a week visit. He does separate self even from others who are in heaven by getting in to the tabernacle and being in the Holy of Holies as Moses was told to build the shadow of this tent that is in heaven; the actual being the one Christ actually after the crucifix bearing His own blood being both sacrifice and priest do enter therein.
Exodus 25:8-9 KJV And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
The words of the book of Hebrews do announce the first covenant or old testament concluded; a thing that makes it old and out of date and place and there Jews kept the Sabbath by the clause that is in the concluded Covenant or the Mosaic Law. The deadening thing about the Jews keeping the Sabbath was that it was simply added therein and enacted by the simple quick reason; God also kept it, and by default most people deem it an act of The Mosaic Law so, like the Jews they are up to now still keeping it because God kept it; no reasoning no short or foresight, just that God kept it. The Sabbath just as the first three principles of Christianity comes from way earlier than the Old Testament; a thing that means one should reach a little deeper than the Old Testament to comprehend its depth of feel and essence.
Until you look beyond The Law And The Prophets; the Sabbath remains a mystery to you. The ideal being one has to look beyond humanity to discern why God started the walk with man from the Sabbath. The ideal being the reason yeans from way yonder man's creation and call. The mistakes of the past quantitatives did arm the Lord with ingenious gaps to fill with the algorithm of probability; the ideal being; What if?.
What if man fails like the devil did?
