The reason they do not push an elevator button on Shabbat is because of Exodus 35:3 kjv.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
The Pharisees went on to become modern day Judaism. They rationalize that electricity is the modern equivalent of ancient fire. They take it way beyond what the Torah commanded. In ancient times there was labor involved when staring a fire. You had to cut and gather the wood. If you didn't have flint and steel, you had to rub two sticks together to create the flame. There is no command that says you can't have a fire on sabbath. It just says you can't start it then. Have your wood already cut and stacked and start your fire on Friday before sundown. Then on Sabbath, as the fire dies down just take a log and throw it on to maintain it. No labor involved.
In an elevator, the electricity is already on and flowing. They are not starting the electricity when they push the button and completely miss the point of the command.
The religious leaders were very zealous to keep God's commands. Over centuries they developed strict traditions designed to protect the Torah. They believed that if you keep the traditions then by default you will also be keeping the Torah. By the time Jesus came, their traditions had become so far removed from the actual commands that this is one of the problems Jesus had with them. You will see a lot of this as the series progresses. Currently Judaism has over 1500 regulations just on how to keep sabbath.
Elijah was prophesied to be sent back to them in Malachi 4:5-6.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
We now have more information than they did in Jesus time. Many of us believe Elijah will be one of the two witnesses from Revelation chapter 11.
I am Hebrew. I believe that when a gentile comes to faith he is no longer a gentile. He is part of Israel and a member of one of the 12 tribes.
Galatians 3:29 kjv
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
I try to follow the Torah to the best of my ability and I believe in Yeshua Ha-Mashiach (Jesus Christ). Just trying to give some background for viewers who may not have studied the Torah. Shalom
