The Sabbath


Exodus 20:8-11 [ASV]

[8]Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

[9]Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work;

[10]but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

[11]for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

The seal of Jehovah is in the 4th commandment of the decalogue. It bears his name, title and territory. It also is a memorial of his creation work.

Name: Jehovah
Title: Creator
Territory: Heaven, Earth, Sea and all that in them is.

Jehovah hallowed the Seventh-day as a day of solemn rest and a memorial of his and Jesus creation of the world.

Mark 1:32 (KJV)
32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

Jesus showed that it was good to heal on the Sabbath but also notice how the Jews were mindful of Sabbath observance and waited until sun set in order to bring those who needed healing. Those possessed by devils were also brought to Jesus after the Sabbath was over.

Isaiah 56:5-6 (KJV)

5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Jehovah, to serve him, and to love the name of the Jehovah, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

In the days of the nation of Israel, even the foreigners who kept the Sabbath were promised with not being cut off and a promise of an everlasting name in eternal life. There are those who have natural Jewish blood who profane the Sabbath and gentiles who honor it. These gentiles will be given a name better than the natural branches. As Christians when we honor Jehovah's holy day we take hold of the eternal covenant summed up in the 10 words of the Decalogue.
