Hello. I hope you are doing well today. I want to talk about the sabbath day and and it's relationship with time. In Gen 2:2, God finished his work and rested. God never starts until He is finished, and He always starts the day after He ended it. So the beginning and the end( rev 1:8) is not the name of a time, it is the name of a person. The Lord didn't rest because he was exhausted or tired or anything like that. This rest has to do with the finished work. So everything that God will do, He has done it already. Gods' work was not with his hands in this creation process, It was with His words. So His Words were doing all the work.The Sabbath is not mentioned in Genesis at all. So what is going here? How would his people come to a rest, when there was no such thing as a sabbath day until exodus 16:23? The Genesis crowd had an understanding. In James 2:23, Abraham was called a friend of God, because he trusted
His word, to bring it to pass. So Abraham didn't have to wait on a day, to rest. Abrahams rest was in the Word, and that is not limited to a day, it is limited to his faith, NOW faith. Part of this rest[sabbath] was that God was supplying all of the needs of his people, independent of what was going on around them. In Exodus 16:16--- God told them that they could gather the quail and the [manna, i'll deal with that in just a minute] . They were to gather as much as they wanted to, But what was left over on the ground, it was to be left. Some of the people gathered anyway and it bred worms and stank. So what is going on here? There was a lack of faith amongst the Children of Israel for Gods' provisions. They were commanded not to touch anymore of this manna once you gathered up your portion. IF God supplied today, won't He supply tommorrow? some of them didnt believe that. People who lack faith, to them it was the 7th day(time), however to those of you who have faith, it is the sabbath[ no time]. In Exodus 16:4 God
called it " BREAD" however the children of Israel called it" Manna". Sabbath thinking requires that you think Like God, and Speak like God[Amos 3:3, Ipeter 4:11]
In Mat 12:8, Jesus said that He was Lord of the Sabbath,. He used the term "Son Of Man", why? In this earth realm, you have to be flesh and blood to have the authority. God is not in charge in the earth without the assistance of a believer. God told Adam to subdue the earth, The Lord was not going to do it for him.{Psalms 115:16]. Jesus knew that for him to have rulership in this earth, He would have to come as a man, not a boy, not a baby, but a MAN. Now if He is Lord of the sabbath, and He is Lord of Lords , that means that I'm a lord, it also means that He put the sabbath inside of me and you. So the sabbath is no longer a day, it is a person. So Jesus sends us into the world system as little sabbaths. We are to show the world how they can come to a rest from everything. We show them by example that you can live debt free, free from sickness, free from strife, free from hell, free from premature death, and so on. We bring Jesus to them, so it is Gods' intention that the whole earth be filled with rest. Why do you think t Romans 8:22 talks about the whole creation groaneth and travails until now? It is bacause the earth is not resting. Why is that? Because the Sons of God haven't been manifested. Oh there are plenty of "church folk", but but very few SONS. We carry the sabbath with us. In mat 19:26, it says that With God all things are possible. All you have to do is flip this scripture and then all things without God ,becomes impossible. So dominion over time is possible. One more thing The I am is possible I'm possible Impossible!
our goal with these blogs is to provoke christians everywhere to study His word. II Tim 2:15
