the 7th day sabbath was to lead Israel to Christ.
That now that Christ did come and risen, that now for Christians we rest in Christ and not on any day of the week.
This is why Christ Jesus said in
Mattew 11:28--"Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest"
Note that Christ did not say he will give 7th day sabbath rest, No.
Christ he himself will give you rest.
So we rest in Christ Jesus and not on any day of the week.
Try get away from what _we_ do and what _we_ do not do on the Sabbath, the Sabbath is none of ours! It is "the DAY: The Seventh Day", "made" and "ordained" / "commanded", BY GOD; not by us. Because "the Sabbath" of the Bible, in the Bible is: "the DAY: The Seventh Day Sabbath-rest-DAY: OF: THE LORD GOD"; not ours or the Jews' or whoever's, EXCEPT, "of the LORD your GOD"!
Take it or leave it. Don't be too wise and "too holy" when you speak about the Sabbath-day-of-worship-rest God "made for man"; it never has been anything than "the DAY The Seventh Day Sabbath-rest-DAY: OF: THE LORD GOD". And it never has been another's, the Jews' Sabbath, the Israelis' Sabbath, the Sabbath of the the Seventh day Adventists, the Sabbath of the COG's, the Sabbath of the spirit-filled mega churches... whoever's but, "the Sabbath OF THE LORD GOD"!
Now, Is "the LORD GOD", "your", "GOD"? That is the ONLY question 'we' can, may, and must ask and talk about by the grace of God. We do not have to compose pages long learned treatises, think out clever arguments and raise great wisdom of every kind than, SAY an "IT IS WRITTEN"!
I will tell you one thing: God knows his own! Not only who his Own People are, not only what "His Own Rest" is, "The Rest-of-God" Jesus Christ Whom God RAISED and "RESTED UP AGAIN THE MOST HOLY PLACE", but God, only God, knows "THE DAY OF THE LORD" --"THE LORD JESUS' DAY" of God's Rest "on the DAY The Seventh Day: SABBATH-REST-DAY-OF-THE-LORD-GOD"--"The Last Day" and of the COMING OF THE LORD!
