This was the absolute best explanation of “rest” that we are all promised, that I have ever heard! Well done sir! Been a believer for over 30 years and recently discovered what rest really means as it’s spelled out in Hebrews. There’s not much teaching on this subject that’s this in depth. Excellent!
In all my research on the sabbath conversation, this is by FAR the best explanation I've ever heard! Thank you, God bless you& continue explaining our beautiful Bible the way you do
We are saved by grace through faith not by the law, """"BUT"""" there is some things one can do like follow God's commands! Christians miss out on many blessings when they don't do anything! Take the sabbath for instance.... Isaiah 56 tells us about the blessings to those that keep God's sabbath(s)! First you'll be remembered by God! Also you'll have a name better than a son or daughter. He tells the foreigners and eunuchs that even THEY will be blessed for keeping them! Now the sons & daughters are faithful Israel! Yes there is some of Israel who were faithful! The foreigners are the ( Christians) & they will be given a name better than faithful Israel, ""IF"" they take delight in Gods sabbaths (Isaiah 58:13)! The blessings are there for anyone who wishes to follow Gods instructions! Yet we have many who would rather follow mans instructions instead. Here's the thing .... Israel tried it their way many times and they were disciplined by God. Somehow todays Christians think they're going to do the same as Israel but this time with different results! That somehow God will accept disobedience from them because they're """CHRISTIANS"""! A rude awaking is waiting for all that think they can be disobedient to God and that God will grant them salvation, when He wouldn't grant it to the Israelites that were disobedient!
@@qw2ps4 Yes, but under the New Covenant, Christ pours His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. And love fulfills the law. All the law and the prophets hang on two commands, love God and neighbor. We love God by loving our neighbor. Jesus said that whatever you do (or don't do) to the least you do (or don't do) to Him. How do we love? By resting in Christ's love. He is our rest in that it is no longer we who do the works, but Christ who works through us. Love is a FRUIT, not a work. He works in us and we rest in him. So no one is being disobedient by not following Moses. We fulfill the law through faith expressing itself in love. Jesus didn't just obey the law, He fulfilled it, by His sacrificial love show to others to the point of death. It's easy to obey the law of Moses. It's impossible to fulfill it. Only Christ can fulfill it in us, and that is by faith. I do delight in the Sabbath, in the rest that I have in Christ. I delight in the fact that I don't have to work to please Him, that it is my faith and trust in Him that pleases Him.
@@qw2ps4: *Amen! Well articulated.* One so often hear the argument that we are not under law but under grace *but what does it mean to be under grace?* First let's define what sin is according to the Bible. 1 John 3:4 *‘Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.’* Therefore, *if there is no Law then there can be no sin,* and for even further clarity Romans 4:15 says, *‘Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.’* *And what about God's grace?* - *What is this exactly?* - *Put simply,* - *it is His unmerited and undeserved favour that we receive as the result of our Saviour's redeeming sacrifice.* - *Please allow me to elaborate more fully.* *This is where faith comes in.* - *We believe by faith that the sacrifice of Christ cleanses us from all sin.* - *Then comes the free gift from God.* Ephesians 2:8-9 *‘For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.’* *As a result of our repentance and faith, we receive God's Grace which is His unmerited and undeserved favour that we receive due to Christ interceding on our behalf as a result of His sacrifice*. [1 Timothy 2:5]. *THIS ALSO SHOWS THAT IF THERE WAS NO LAW, THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR GOD'S GRACE.* *IF THERE IS GRACE THEN THERE IS HIS LAW TO BE OBEYED.* - *THERE IS HOWEVER NO SACRIFICE THAT WILL COVER WILFUL AND UN-REPENTED SIN.* [Hebrews 10:26-29]. This is not to say that if one comes to genuine repentance later in time that he will not be forgiven as this is not so. Christ will always forgive those who come to true repentance.* *Consider the following.* Can a murderer who was sentenced to death work for his freedom? *No*. - *Why not?* - *Because he is under the law and the law demands death.* - *The only way he can be set free is if the Governor gives him a pardon.* - *Now, waiting for the execution this man would truly be under the law in every sense of the word; under the guilt, under the condemnation and under the sentence of death.* - *Just before the execution date the governor reviews the condemned man's case and decides to pardon him. In the light of extenuating circumstances, the governor exercises his prerogative and sends a full pardon to the prisoner. Now the prisoner is no longer under the law but under grace.* - *That is, the law no longer condemns him. He is considered totally justified as far as the charges of the law are concerned and he is free to walk out of the prison and no policeman can stop him.* - *BUT NOW THAT HE IS UNDER GRACE AND NOT LAW, CAN WE SAY THAT HE IS FREE TO BREAK THE LAW? Certainly NOT.* In fact, now he would be much more obligated to obey the law *BECAUSE HE HAS FOUND GRACE FROM THE GOVERNOR. IN GRATITUDE AND LOVE HE WILL BE VERY CAREFUL TO HONOUR AND OBEY THE LAW OF THAT STATE WHICH GRANTED HIM GRACE.* *Now what did Paul say about sin and grace?* - Romans 6:1-2 *‘What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 GOD FORBID. HOW SHALL WE, THAT ARE DEAD TO SIN, LIVE ANY LONGER THEREIN?’* And for further clarity using the main passage to avoid loving obedience to God. Romans 6:14-15 *‘For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? GOD FORBID.’* The Bible does say that we are not under the law, *BUT DOES THAT IMPLY THAT WE ARE FREE FROM THE OBLIGATION TO OBEY IT?* - *HOW EASILY WE COULD PREVENT CONFUSION IF WE JUST ACCEPTED EXACTLY WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.* - *After stating that we are not under the law but under grace,* - *Paul gives his own explanation in verse 15.* He says, *“What then?” This simply means, “How are we to understand this?”* - *Then notice his answer. In anticipation that some would misconstrue his words to mean that you can break the law because you are under grace, he says,* - *“Shall we sin [break the Ten Commandments law] *because we are not under the law but under grace? God forbid.”* *In the strongest possible language, Paul states that being under grace does not give a license to break the Ten Commandments.* - *Sadly, this is exactly what so many good Christians believe today despite Paul's specific warning.*
According to myself, I've been keeping Sabbath now for 1 half year not because of someone preaching to me. But I heard a voice in my dream look up! Then I saw a written word above in the sky saying to me (cleanse yourself pray and remember to keep Sabbath. ) . And now a days, I stop listening to others to avoid misleading my faith. What I do is to pray and ask GOD to reveal it to me. And I thank Him for I always get direction.
@@marthaliwewe5152 So if this biblical scholar prays as you do for wisdom and discernment to understand the truth about the Sabbath post-resurrection and new covenant, and if the answer he has been led to by God says the opposite of what you have received in a dream, then who has the truth?
@@educational4434 Romans 14:5 Pray about it & he will give you your answer 🥰🥰 I can tell you that I'll never go back, Saturday is OUR day!

I'll never go back to the pagan unholy days I'm all about feast days now. The dietary laws make sense when you research them because everything that it says not to eat IS unclean & purely toxic for your body! It's not that if I slip up & eat some bacon I'm going to hell it's that I want to take care of the temple best I can so I try to avoid these foods. Everyone has to follow their own path to find these truths!
@@sarahj2361 Yes, then we are in agreement. I also adhere to the dietary laws as they are health laws. And keeping a weekly Sabbath rest is intelligent and wise. But not as an obedience issue or a salvation issue.
Wonder what that voice was. Galatians 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. Galatians 4:10 You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.
@@educational4434 No, I'm sorry staying under the law of Moses is a slap in the face to what Jesus did on the Cross. The laws were for the Jews only!! We have the law written on our hearts, and the Holy Spirit is there to guide and convict us. Jesus is now our rest and we rest in Him everyday, everywhere, and anytime. Paul said if you keep those laws you must obey all of them. Good luck with that my friend!
You are my new favorite TH-cam channel! Whenever I run into a Seventh-day Adventist or Hebrew roots, I’m always trying to explain to them how Jesus is our Rest. It’s hard because they are really dug in. i’m taking notes so I can do a better job! God bless you Brother
@@kingPerry34 Actually yes! Matthew 11:28- 30 Jesus said to his disciples on the Sabbath “Come to me all who are burdened and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light! “
@@abidinginchrist3139 Colossians 2 is not say the sabbath is the shadow of Christ, that’s what you have been taught, the keeping of the sabbath now is a shadow of keeping the sabbath perfectly in heaven and in the earth made new, the apostles Paul cannot speak against the prophets Violation of God’s sabbath will result in hell, only those who keep the sabbath and do the things that please God will enter into his Holy mountain( kingdom )Isaiah 56:1-7 please read
I've also learnt that the book of Hebrews demonstrates the superiority of the new covenant over the old one. Jesus is the second Adam and the new Moses, he is leading us in a new exodus, we are going out (of bondage to the law of sin and death) to the new promised land - the New Jerusalem in heaven, we also have a new rest day, Sunday as a memorial of Christ's resurrection, of his finished work of redemption and in honor of a new beginning/a new creation/a new order in contrast to the old creation and finally Jesus gives us the new manna i.e his own spiritual body and blood to feed on. We have such a high priest who has gone into the heavens on our behalf and is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven.
@NarrowWayToLife The seventh day of creation had no morning and no evening which means that God did not and does not work on a weekly basis as his creative work is already completed and hence has entered his rest in which he remains. Unlike man whom God commanded to rest from his works once a week. Hebrews 4:3" For we who believed enter into that rest,....." And like God we also remain into that rest. Hebrews 4:6 Therefore, since it remains that some will enter into it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience/unbelief. Hebrews 4:7 he once more set a day, "today" when long afterwards he spoke through David, as already quoted: "Oh! that today you would hear his voice: "Harden not your heart.' " Hebrews 4:8, 10 Now if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterwards of another day. And whoever enters into God's rest, rests from his own works as God did from his. A man enters God's rest anytime/any day he receives the Spirit from faith in what he hears. Let's repeat Hebrews 4:7 "he once more set a day, "today" when long afterwards he spoke through David........" It seems like even back then God had had been resting for a very long time!
@NarrowWayToLife You need to dig deep under the surface to find hidden treasure in the scripture. You also need discernment and divine revelation. Understanding the bible in its entirety is more than just proving theorems in Geometry that you can see and reason with your own eyes and intellect. If you want the bible to show you every doctrine in its pages, you would then have to discredit St Paul (Galatians 1:11-12) as the gospel that he preached was not of human origin nor did he receive it from a human being but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ. To talk your talk, in like manner you won't find in the New Testament observance of the Seventh Day Sabbath, the investigative judgment, the pope as the anti-Christ, soul sleep, etc. God himself made obsolete the Old Covenant. That Old Covenant is invalid now. Jesus is all in all. Why do you want to be under Moses when Moses himself directed the Israelites to obey and follow Jesus. Let Jesus deep into your heart and love him with all you heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. That's what religion is in its core: the God-Man Jesus and loving him tenderly. Please read Acts 22: 21 They have been informed that you (Paul) are teaching all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to abandon Moses and that you are telling them not to circumcise their children or to observe their customary practices. I hope that verse will tell you why apostolic Christians from the beginning did not observe the Jewish Seventh Day Sabbath.
@NarrowWayToLife Ephesians 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him. Ephesians 3:4 When you read this you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ God's rest continues until such time as he creates a new earth and new heavens according to Sam Shamoun's spiritual insight which makes good sense.
@NarrowWayToLife entering into His rest is putting ones faith in Jesus and the Gospel! Yes there is indeed a warning to not be in unbelief about the Gospel:)
@NarrowWayToLife Why is the Law given through Moses (Exodus 31:14-15; Exodus 35:1-2; Numbers 15:32-36; Deuteronomy 4:2; Deuteronomy 27:26; Matthew 5:18) according to the order of Aaron in Old Testament Judaism, NOT the law of Christ (Matthew 11:28-30 = Hebrews 4) according to the order of Melchizedek in New Testament Christianity (Jeremiah 31:32-34; Galatians 4:21-26)? ?

@@qw2ps4 Gentiles were never subject to the Mosiac covenant, BUT under Jesus' new covenant Gentiles can enter into God's Sabbath rest any day of the week (Hebrews 4). Further, Jesus' new covenant has better promises than the old, so they miss out on nothing by so doing: "But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises." ~ Hebrews 8 : 6
@@qw2ps4 Where Paul is saying ''We are saved by grace through faith'' there is no BUT, just a period. That's it, nothing more is required or asked for from us except the faith part. We must believe it or this reality will not BE true for us. We can only experience salvation if we believe it and believe Jesus for it. Jesus said that those who do not believe are condemned already. The danger that is in the teaching that there is something more we can or must do is that it limits our belief to a Jesus+something else instead of Jesus only. For me this is not being able to believe fully and my question to this is: Do I really believe? I would conclude that belief in a Jesus+something is not a belief in Jesus at all. It is a false belief. There are very important reasons why a belief in Jesus only is the only way. The most important reason is that we cannot ever claim that we had anything to do with our salvation, that we some how were better people because of something we did. Salvation is only a gift, only form God. The only part we have in the equation is that we must believe it is true.
@@kimartist God's sabbath rest is not a day. It is He in me and I in Him, Being one with the Creator. In this place we find true rest, true peace. It was like this for Adam in the garden. This is a better promise.
So vague, can you share what your deeper thoughts are on obedience to in a more complete manner. The shortness of your comment leads me to think there is so much more you'd like to say.
Being obedient to God means to not teach people under the new covenant that they have to keep the Mosaic law (Acts 15, Romans 7:6, Galatians 3:24-26). Thus, Torahist are disobedient.
14:52 - belief and obedience always always always went hand in hand. They are not opposed to one another. It is our belief that saves us. But our belief also leads us to obedience, if it is genuine.

Thank you for the teaching moment, I realize some comments say that the Apostles were just christians or just letters and its not the same as the Torah, law. But we know that the N.T is the inspired Word of God as well. Thank you brother.
Amen, brother. To ignore the clear New Testament teaching on the Sabbath in favor of imposing the sign of the Mosaic Covenant on everyone is just the kind of thing Jesus was talking about when he said, “You search the Scriptures because you think in them you have life, but they speak of Me.”
Amazing how the Spirit of God continues to enlighten our understanding with the truth of God's word what God made clear when he first spoke. Yeshua said to the teacher of the law thou readest well, do this and you shall live. The law is speaking is about a righteous walk through obedience that leads to Yeshua who is the end of the law for righteousness, another way of putting it, the law allows one to walk a righteous walk, but one is made God's righteousness in Christ on the cross.

Yes we are all spiritually resting in Christ but I don't see why we must spit on His physical Sabbath in order to do that? God gifted us the Sabbath so that we can rest. You can tell yourself that you are "in Christ's rest" all you want but if you don't get tired and need a day of rest you are lying or not human. The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. God set it apart and made it Holy and it has been a covenant between God and His people since Eden... I don't see a way around this. It just sounds like rebellion to me. And I am guilty of not always honoring it how I should!! I am trying to walk out my own faith with fear and trembling and just rely on God's grace and mercy for where I fall short, without using his grace and an excuse to just live however I want.
Thank you dearly for explaining how Christ is our rest in God! In accordance with this word and hebrews 3:18-19, john 1:12, hebrews 4:3-4, hebrews 4:8-10, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 I bind myself, but also my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents and the body of Christ to rest in Jesus Christ, while binding to hell being unequally yoked and having any common share with those who will not enter God his rest in Jesus Christ, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah ❤!
People have complicated Christianity. This is the Gospel Message: Jesus Christ conquered sin and death and then He sent the Holy Spirit on Day 50, Pentecost. The Ten Commandments were also given on Pentecost. They simply mean Love. Love God and love your neighbor. With the Holy Spirit in us we can keep the Ten Commandments, which again are summed as love, as Jesus told us in Matthew 22:37-40. He was quoting Deuteronomy 6. What precedes Deuteronomy 6? Deuteronomy 5, which is the Ten Commandments. Every human created has the Ten within them by Design. The Ten were written on Stone, beautiful Sapphire Stone, by the Finger of God Himself. The 600 were written on paper by Moses via God. The Ten Commandments are in the Ark of the Covenant right now in Heaven per Revelation 11:19.
as Christ come at 2nd time, heavens will reveal the ark of the covenant with the ten commandments as the basis of you trully love God or not.. so it is a must that we obey God.
“And יהוה said to Mosheh, “How long shall you refuse to guard My commands and My Torot? See, because יהוה has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is giving you bread for two days on the sixth day. Let each one stay in his place, do not let anyone go out of his place on the seventh day. So the people rested on the seventh day.” Shemoth (Exodus) 16:28-30 ““If you do turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My set-apart day, and shall call the Sabbath ‘a delight,’ the set-apart day of יהוה ‘esteemed,’ and shall esteem it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words, then you shall delight yourself in יהוה. And I shall cause you to ride on the heights of the earth, and feed you with the inheritance of Ya‛aqoḇ your father. For the mouth of יהוה has spoken!”” Yeshayah (Isaiah) 58:13-14 It’s about Rest before Mt.Sinai and it’s about rest after. “For thus said יהוה, “See, I am extending peace to her like a river, and the esteem of the nations like a flowing stream. And you shall feed; you shall be carried on the side, and be fondled on her knees. “And I, because of their works and their imaginations, am coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My esteem. “For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make stand before Me,” declares יהוה, “so your seed and your name shall stand. “And it shall be that from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares יהוה. “And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm shall not die, and their fire not be quenched. And they shall be repulsive to all flesh!”” Yeshayah (Isaiah) 66:12, 18, 22-24
Thank you again for a beautiful, clear exposition on the sabbath. My soul is finally at rest I’m not stressing about sabbath rest, as I have it in Jesus. We just need to be careful in not insisting on our freedoms in Christ if it makes our brother to fall and so I would certainly observe sabbath if was in Israel for instance.
There is no Sabbath. Shabbat was abrogated when Jesus established a new and better covenant based upon the promises made to Abraham. Jesus necessarily established a new and better law that does not include Shabbat.
I insist on my freedom and stand on what Paul said in Colossians 2. Because a legal writ of debt was nailed to the cross at Calvary, and I have been forgiven and my sins have been forgotten, I never ever allow a mongrel dog - evil doer and mutilator of the flesh to judge me in regard to what’s for lunch, what I drink, a festival, a new moon, or fantasy Shabbat. If a human is offended because I refuse to play wannabe Jew games with them, that’s their problem.
I would say please read James 2: 18-26 in regards to faith only or is it faith and works. I think when you read these verses, you have a great balance. Also, if you read Jesus parable of talents in the Gospel. Also, Revelation 20:12. Ultimately, if you love Christ and you are filled with the Holy Spirit, it is not works, but a labor of love.
I agree, Eric. Those aren't "works" that earn us salvation, but rather outward expressions that come _after_ we are saved. They reveal our love for the Lord and our believing loyalty to Him. So, as James said, if we claim to have faith but our lives show no evidence of it, our faith is dead.

Don’t forget that God Himself wrote the Ten Commandments in Stone with His Own Finger. All Ten are relevant to include the 4th Commandment, which in the Sabbath Commandment. The Sabbath Commandment is very neglected in today’s church. “Everyday is a Sabbath now!!! As we watch are multiple daily tv shows, idolize our sports hero’s, work our jobs…..nonsense. If we can’t dedicate one Day a week to Jesus Christ our Sabbath Rest how do we think we will make it in Heaven dedicating 7 Days a week?
@@Seepferdchen91 The Ten Commandments don’t save us, but when we are saved we will love. The Ten Commandments are simply a Love Outline from God Himself.
@@Seepferdchen91 The Sabbath Commandment is the Gospel Message. In Exodus 16, twice the Manna from Heaven was provided on the 6th day so the people of God could have their Sabbath Rest. Fast forward to John 6, Jesus calls Himself the Manna from Heaven and the Bread of Life. Jesus Christ, the Manna from Heaven, was Crucified on the 6th day, Good Friday, so the people of God could have now and Eternal Sabbath Rest. That’s WHY you can’t “work” on the Sabbath, it means you can’t work your own way to Heaven, it’s His Way only.
For if Yehoshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. So there remains a Sabbath-keeping for the people of Elohim. For the one, having entered into His rest, has himself also rested from his works, as Elohim rested from His own. Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience. For the Word of Elohim is living, and working, and sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through even to the dividing of being and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all are naked and laid bare before the eyes of Him with whom is our account. Therefore, since we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, יהושע the Son of Elohim, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who was tried in all respects as we are, apart from sin. Therefore, let us come boldly to the throne of favour, in order to receive compassion, and find favour for timely help.” Hebrews 4:6, 8-16 This Rest that “remains” we have not received it! We only receive it when we enter the land with our King and he takes away pain and wipes every tear away and we have ceased from working the daily grind to provide for our families cause he’s now our provider. To enter that rest it says we cannot be disobedient to Gods commandments like in this case Sabbath-keeping. Because the word which tells us to keep the 7th day Sabbath...which word did they have at the time this is written? The TaNaK! There’s no wiggling out of that one no matter what Guthrie says.

And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. Hebrews 10 16 This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my TORAH/ law in their HEARTS, and I will write them on their minds.” Jer 31 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my TORAH within them, and I will write it on their HEARTS. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people 2 cor 3 3 And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human HEARTS. 1 tim 1:5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure HEART, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, Rev 12-17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” Rev 14 12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Rev 22 14 Blessed are those washing their robes, that their right will be to the tree of life, and they shall enter into the city by the gates.
@C E it’s a matter of obedience. God say it so it must be done. It was made for man to rest. It has nothing to do with being Jewish but everything to do with walking in the Way that God determined and Christ exampled for us.
Thank you very mach for the wonderful teaching about the rest. But, What about Matthew 24 20 it says pray that your flight may not be in winter on in the sabbath?
Hello, Negatwa. Matt 24:20 tells us that Jesus expected that His Jewish followers would continue to keep the Mosaic seventh-day Sabbath. Which makes sense, since it was never prohibited or forbidden. Blessings, Rob
I would love to have a dialogue with you! I'm a preacher of a pro-Torah Christian Church. I'm down for a formal debate or discussion over email. I think one of the largest issues is a misunderstanding of the term "under the law." Let's talk about it!
There is no rest or peace without Christ as your Lord, God, and Savior. Christ has become our Passover and our rest. Please see 1st Corinthians 5: 6-7 and Hebrews Chapt 4.
We show God we love Him by keeping His commandments. This is throughout the entirety of scripture. He spent 40 years teaching the importance of keeping the Sabbath to the Israelites with manna in the desert. The 4th commandment hasn't changed and never will. It's truly a blessing.
@M. H. If the Sabbath is such a blessing how come God never mentioned it for 2500 years? He never mentioned it once to Adam, Eve, Abel, Seth, Noah, Enoch, Nahor, Terah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Reuben, Gad, Dan, Naphtali, Asher, Levi, Simeon, Joseph, Benjamin, Rebekah, Rachel, Esau, Ishmael, Ephraim, or Manneseh. From Genesis 3 to Exodus 11 no one kept the Sabbath or even knew about it???
@@theextreme7134 Exodus 16 happens before Exodus 20. Also there is Genesis 26:5 where it states Abraham kept my statutes, commandments, laws etc. Should the text list every commandment he kept? Ultimately you should always follow Jesus's example. He kept the Sabbath and so should you if you believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
It could mean that the "rest" Jesus talks about is salvation, or heaven, and not sabbath Edit: I finished it. So the promised land is linked to God's rest on the seventh day, which is the sabbath. And the generation of Israelites did not enter the promised land is because they did not believe. So in order to enter the rest or sabbath(tell me if I'm wrong), we have to believe. But if the rest was not inactivity but completion, why did the Jews do the weekly Sabbath Edit 2: Maybe if there are two meanings regarding rest. It could both mean salvation and sabbath. Tell me if I'm wrong. I would love to hear your response. Shalom
The reason they didn’t make it to the promised land was because they failed to act when God told them to act not because they failed to “believe “ or had a lack of faith. The Law from God never commanded faith or belief. You could fairly infer a lack of faith and or belief but IF that was the sole reason God wouldn’t have waited until they failed to act to judge them.
@@tactup23 Actions speak louder than words. Believing in something and acting in Faith, it's all intertwined. That's why it says Faith without Works is dead. Not that we earn salvation, but if we truly Believe, then our actions and words will show it. Out of the mouth cones the abundance of the heart. By our love and our deeds, we are true witnesses for Christ.
Faith CAN be intertwined with an act of obedience. This I agree with. However, obedience without faith is still obedience. Paul doesn’t speak for God but instead he speaks as a believer in God. Paul’s opinion that any act of obedience performed without “faith” lacks critical thinking skills. The most glaring omission is his definition of faith in this immediate context. Is faith something that can be measured? Is a little faith the equivalent of a lot of faith? Is it faith in Jesus alone? His death? His resurrection? His kingship? His triune relationship? If one or some of these things are not believed than is their faith even faith at all? For example, What if one person obeys the Law of God because he has faith that God will punish him if he doesn’t? Is that good enough? What if person at my Sinai obeyed because he had faith in his leader Moses? Still yet another person may obey motivated by his denominational faith in Jesus? Yet another may choose to obey the Law because he has faith in the Law itself, regardless of the author. In other words he believes that the alternative legal systems in the world are inferior and lack sustainability for future generations. There is an endless stream of reasons a person may have “faith”. None of them can be measured or judged to be greater than the other because all are true and all are relevant. What matters is that they all ultimately obey the same law regardless of their faithful motivations. Finally I must reiterate that the Torah given by God does not command faith from those who adhere to it’s instructions. It only commands obedience to one set of people. That group of people, regardless of their faith, believed in God and followed Him into the desert. they were given a legal system to adhere to. Therefore a just God will not Judge for the lack of faith regardless of its potential benefits, because he never commanded it.
@@tactup23 Hebrews 11:1 and 11:3 Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. By Faith we understand that the world's were prepared by the Word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. I think it's belief and Faith which are intertwined. Obedience is just a natural occurrence, or a by-product of believing and having Fairh. Blessed are they who believe, though they have not yet seen.
@@gaylechristensen6285 The point isn’t what does Paul think but instead what did God say. God never command faith or belief from anyone. He did clearly command obedience from everyone. There is no punishment for failure to believe or lack of faith. There is however, clearly defined punishments for disobedience. Therefore it seems that the act of obedience is not conditional upon why you obey according to God. I’m not arguing whether or not faith is important for our growth and understanding as humans. Only that it wasn’t required by God for life and death.
The belief that the Sabbath is no longer.........comes from 18th century American evangelicalism. The Reformed teaching found in the Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession, Synod of Dort, and the Westminster Standards is that the 6 days of work and then 1 day of rest ( Sabbath rooted in creation ) becomes a 1 in 6 pattern Sabbath after the resurrection of Christ.
@@insidejobSEP11 Question to you......Do you understand that after the resurrection of Christ Christians worshipped on the first day of the week, not the seventh?
@@insidejobSEP11 I desire this helps bring clarity. Galatians 2:14 But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of all, “If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews? Acts 16:1-3 Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek, and he was well spoken of by the brethren who were in Lystra and Iconium. Paul wanted this man to go with him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 1 Corinthians 9:20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law; Galatians 2:3-7 But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage. But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you. But from those who were of high reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)-well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me. But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised
@@CommentedHere0 Doesn't matter if its first or last day. Christ is Sabbath and those that fail to enter his rest will never have true sabbath rest. Rest on day 1, rest on day Last. Fail to be found in Christ no rest forever. Just as the stiffnecked people in the wilderness enjoyed a temporary sabbath rest and *failed* to enter the forever sabbath rest.
@@neoturfmasterMVS So the saturday seventh sabbath day does not exist anymore? There's so much confusion on the sabbath. Some say the sabbath is still on saturday and is to be kept always that day. Some say it's sunday. Some say it's gone, but Jesus is now our rest. I heard Jews are to keep it, not gentiles. So much different information. Right now I am leaning on that the sabbath is on saturday.
@@CommentedHere0 Yes the days of the week still exist. You *must* know they are inferior to the superior. The letter to the Hebrews will help. Read it 30x's over. Then research all you can about what it is referencing. It is a very deep letter not to simple be glanced over. But yes for short attention spans I'll give you the super short summary: *Jesus is superior, everything is inferior* Angels, prophets, people of faith, miracles, a day, days, moments, law, sabbath, things that even saved (but only for the moment), mana from heaven, sacrifices of all other things for sin. Things seen and unseen. All of these things, yes good in there limited features and roles are worthless in light of what has come: God in flesh, the Messiah, Word made flesh. Yahweh fully revealed among man. The value of these words cannot be understand: "God and Savior Jesus Christ" "Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ" -Peter If your hope is in anything else, you are lost entirely missing the *one* that is superior and clinging to the inferior, which cannot and never has saved.
Oh one more thing when Jesus said come unto me and I'll give you rest he was not talking about the sabbath, he was talking about the cares and worries of life, you could keep the sabbath and still have a burden and a heavy laden, Jesus never do away with the sabbath, if it was not so he would have told you
It's highly likely, yes. It may need to be a series of videos. I've collected a ton of Scriptural data so there will be a lot to discuss. Merry Christmas, Kevin!
I'd advice watching Jim Staley's Sabbath sermon. It's roughly 90 minutes and might be split into 3 parts. We are to walk like Christ. Be like him more and more every day. He kept sabbath. The 7th day is set apart (holy) and hallowed. If you're interpretation of Jesus's words are correct, his disciples should have immediately ignored the sabbath from that moment and declared jesus as the holy rest. But that's not what happened. Jesus would have rebuked them or they all would have been prosecuted. Jesus's doctrine wasn't his own but his father's. The law won't change until heaven and earth pass away. Jesus said to listen to and obey the pharisees when they speak on the seat of moses (reading scripture/torah) and not do as they do. The weekly sabbath was kept by Moses, the prophets, Jesus, Paul, the disciples, so I think we should too. Especially if it's In the 10 commandment. Using theological gymnastics like this with sabbath and food laws will never appeal to an honest atheist because the theology isn't consistent. You can't tell a gay person that his sin is a problem because of the bible and then contradict the bible yourself. They laugh at Christians who do this. . I don't blame them.
Thanks, Alex! Actually, there is no reason for Jewish followers of Jesus (then or now) to stop keeping the weekly Shabbat. It was never forbidden. And as part of their cultural DNA, Jewish believers are free in Christ to keep it if they choose. But it is no longer a legal requirement for God's People. And BTW Gentiles, who have never been under the Sinai covenant, were never expected to keep Shabbat, eat kosher, be circumcised, etc. because the Law of Moses was only given to Israel (Ex 19:1-6). Shalom, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots You say the law was never meant for the Gentile, but what about Leviticus 24:22, one law for all. Everybody was expected to follow the law regardless of nationality, right?
@@sickmsmokey Gentiles who were in Israel only. You can't keep the law outside of Israel, since there is no temple and no priesthood to make sacrifices.
@@sickmsmokey Hi , MH! So that verse says “There shall be one standard for you; it shall be for the stranger as well as the native, for I am the Lord your God” (Lev 24:22). In context, the “standard” Yahweh is speaking of here is not the entirety of the Mosaic Law but rather the standard of punishment for murder. “Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death” (Lev 24:17). That is the law that applies both to the Israelites and the foreigners among them. Here's a video I just out out that goes into pretty good detail on why the Law of Moses was not given to Gentiles: *Gentiles and the Torah* th-cam.com/video/GluESc67YhU/w-d-xo.html Shalom, Rob
kicking against the goads... won't comment further on your videos, Brother, but you seem to misunderstand "belief" and "faith" as somehow separate from behavior/faithfulness (which is a very Western concept and not the Biblical view--which James addressed very pointedly). You also are still ignoring the fact that Jesus spent MORE time addressing a correct view of the Sabbath than He did any of the other nine commandments (which are more self-evident), all of which art still part of our covenant faithfulness to Him ("If you love Me, you will keep My commandments). This is not to say that in Christ we are bound to ANY of the rabbinical restrictions which were ADDED to God's instruction to guard the Sabbath, but we are very much commanded to "keep" it until it is fulfilled in the Millennium (mostly), in the Land under Christ's rule, then for Eternity--our final rest. "Not one stroke of the Law shall be removed until ALL is fulfilled." (what HAS been fulfilled is no longer required--like the sacrificial system and eating "kosher," etc.) I have tried to reason with you from the Scriptures, and have gently warned that you are fighting against what the Spirit is doing in this Hour. I beg you to stop teaching on this until you have gained greater revelation. grace and peace
Thank you, Suzan. I very much respect your thoughtful responses and corrections. I am compelled to go where Scripture leads me, and so far it has not led to agreement with you on the topic of Shabbat. Jesus indeed spoke out against the man-made corruptions to the Shabbat as God gave it in the Torah. But neither He nor any other NT author ever teaches, repeats, or even hints at the Mosaic regulations. In the NT we are not reminded or taught to remember the Sabbath, keep it holy, do no work, carry no load, etc. Yet we _are_ taught that we shall not murder, shall not commit adultery, shall not steal, honor your mother and your father, and so on. In other words, the commandments Jesus told us to keep if we love Him (John 14:15) did not include Shabbat. In addition, we are told not to let anyone judge us based on whether we keep the Sabbath (Col 2:16-17). And more generally that "One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind" (Rom 14:5). Paul is teaching that among those spiritual behaviors that we do for the Lord, all are acceptable to God and therefore should be acceptable to each other. There is freedom in Christ in how we express our faith and our love for God. Any Christ-follower is free to keep Shabbat, but none are _required_ to do so. That said, I believe every Christ-follower would be wise to set aside a day each week to rest in the Lord. It is a gift from God that reminds us that we can trust Him for provision and that our true rest is in Jesus. Shalom, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots You say you have to go where Scripture leads, yet your refuse to see it for what it says, Brother :/ In Col 2, Paul is directly addressing the push of the "judaizers" who were still stuck on the Old Covenant and their own traditions (including adding all sorts of rules regarding the Sabbath, which Jesus spent so much time correcting), but Paul is in NO way refuting the Ten Commandments as still the foundation for the NC (as a framework for the 2); and Rom. 14 is not at all regarding Shabbat. Although I very much appreciate you trying to keep many from going down the "torah-observant path" which has hijacked a significant sector of the "church" today, you are throwing the proverbial baby out with the bathwater, and leading people away from the commandments of God that are still foundational for Covenant today. "If you love Me, you will obey My Commandments." Well, we have gone over this ground, so, again, I will leave it here. I pray you will listen to "Elijah" when he is sent. shalom
@@suzanholland Thanks, Suzan. I hear what you're saying. But I don't think it's so much that I refuse to see Scripture for what it says, but rather that it simply doesn't say what you think it says. If there were any passages anywhere in the NT where anyone teaches anyone else to remember the Sabbath, or keep it holy, or to do no work, it would certainly change things. But I have not been able to find anything of the sort. And it appears you haven't, either. I pray you will open yourself to the possibility that you may have misunderstood or misread something into this topic. Jesus' teaching against the Pharisee's man-made additions to the Sabbath does not constitute a re-teaching of the Mosaic Sabbath regulations. Nor does it imply that the weekly Shabbat was required (or even expected) of Christians, especially Gentile Christians who were never expected to keep Shabbat. And as I pointed out Col 2:16-17 and Rom 14 have something relevant to say on this topic. As does Hebrews, as I looked at in this video. As does Acts 15, where the instructions given to the new Gentile believers did not include Shabbat. Your brother in Christ, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots We've covered this ground Rob. Scripture teaches that what has not been fulfilled still stands. The NC is based on the same 10 commandments, restated in the NC context. (and you misunderstand the decision made in Acts 15.) Nowhere was Shabbat ever "done away with," (and it was established in the Creation and will remain until this Earth passes away), and Jesus DID spend a SIGNIFICANT amount of time correcting their view of it. May He soon correct us all! shalom
Suzan, 2 Corinthians 3 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 3 forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; 6 who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 8 how shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 13 and not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14 but their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
@AnimalsThebigfive.7527 that's my point. Either it was nailed to the cross or it is tobe kept for ever from generation to generation. Which one is it ?
@AnimalsThebigfive.7527 I agree with u. What I'm saying is that people contradict themselves by saying that the Sabbath was nailed to the cross then turn it around and say for Jews only forever. So now I ask them well then which one is it you can't have it both ways. This is one way of trapping them in their lies
Hi Martha. As I read the NT, we are free to set aside a day of rest for God on any day of the week. "One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord." (Rom. 14:5-6, see also Col. 2:16-17).

So how do you explain the verse after Hebrew 4:9? How do you explain what Jesus said in Matthew 19:17? Did Jesus said to keep the commandments except the part where you keep the Sabbath?
Hi, John. In both cases my explanation would be this: keep reading! Even beyond just a few verses. Read the entire passage those verses are found in. Context is vital. Blessings, Rob

@@qw2ps4 One in seven day rest is optional. It is written somewhere, Therefore let no one gpass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. As Christians we are free to rest and free to work. We are under no binding law save for the law to find our rest, our true Sabbath in Christ alone. Sin is commited if you pass judgement on anyone for obtaining or partaking.
I’m curious. Mr. Solberg is Genesis creation story literal as written? Literal 6 days as we know a day? The 7th day Gemini’s 2:2 He separated the 7th day as Holy…. Are you a Thiestic Evolution believer, many Christian’s are.

W accept Christ through faith and nothing we do can earn us Salvation. We need God because we are sinful and need someone to be our substitute before God. That's why Christ came. The bible calls us to repent and to confess our sins in order to start and continue our walk with Christ. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. We no longer have to offer rams and bulls because Jesus came once and for all. However, how do we know we have sinned? The law (God's moral law) points out our sins - Idolatry, hypocrisy(taking the Lord's name in vain), murder (physically and mentally), envy, jealousy etc. Given that these are part of the decalogue, why can't we see that violating the Sabbath is part of that too? I appreciate how you tied the Word together and beautifully showed how Christ is our Sabbath but there's no choice in the matter about the physical Sabbath. God was exact with the children of Israel and is exact with Christians because we are under grace. Grace does not cancel the moral law. God is the same yesterday and forever.
Well said, Milagro. We just need to remember that not everything God gave Israel under Moses is required of Christians today under Jesus. For example, as you pointed out, we no longer have to offer rams and bulls. And we no longer need a Levitical priesthood or a temple. These things were required of Israel under Moses but are not required of Christians under Jesus. "Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ." (Col 2:16-17) So food, drink, festivals, new Moons, and Sabbaths were shadows of things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. Moral laws apply to all people at all times. The weekly Shabbat does not. For example, Gentiles have never been expected to keep a weekly Shabbat. But they have always been expected not to murder, commit adultery, steal, and so on. Shalom, Rob
It is also about keeping the law! Jesus gave up his life to give us His spirit so that we could fulfill the law. We’re told over and over that grace isn’t so we can do what we want now but so we are able through the Spirit conquer our sin.
I'm surprised that Solberg left out such critical details that paint a very different picture from what the Bible fully teaches. I hope that anyone who watches this video in the future takes the time to read what I wrote here. Solberg left out SO MANY important details that must be considered by the honest follower of Christ. 1. First of all, Solberg says that Israelites were barred from the promised land solely because of their lack of faith, but what about Numbers 14:22? It clearly says that the people tested God these 10 times, so we know that it was 10 specific instances that made God so angry he wanted that generation to die in the wilderness (TEN... like the exact same number as the ten commandments). If you go back and research what actually happened 10 times to make God so angry, you'll discover that one of them, for example, was worshiping the Golden Calf. This breaks commandments 1 & 2. Another disobedient act is painfully obvious: disobeying the sabbath (Exodus 16:22-30)! How did you miss this fact Dr. Solberg?? Or did you leave this out of this teaching on purpose? 2. Second, yes there is a theme of future rest, but there is also a definitive, and deliberate, tie to the literal sabbath as well. Consider the message in Hebrews, "TODAY, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in rebellion." Let's consider who the Hebrews is writing this message to. He is clearly writing to the New Covenant Church (see Hebrews 3:1). The message is that the Church (i.e. the BELIEVERS in Jesus Christ) need to be careful not to harden their hearts as in rebellion! The fact that the author of Hebrews is warning BELIEVERS negates the possibility that Hebrews 3&4 are simply about faith/belief. There simply must be more to the message because the readers are already expected to be believers. What is the additional message? That BELIEVERS need to be careful about being DISOBEDIENT REBELS against God! Believers are rightfully expected to follow God's commands, and of course this includes the sabbath. 3. Third, Hebrews 3:18-19 specifically links unbelief (lack of faith) with DISOBEDIENCE. Why wasn't this mentioned in your teaching Solberg? 4. Fourth, the author of Hebrews defined the sabbath as the literal seventh day sabbath in Hebrews 4:4. Your navigation around the literal connection to the 7th day sabbath in Hebrews is a form of interpretive gymnastics of God's word. 5. The author of Hebrews clearly states that Jesus IS NOT our sabbath rest in Hebrews 4:8. Some translations say Joshua, others say Jesus, because it is the same name. Neither Joshua NOR JESUS has completely fulfilled our sabbath rest yet, because the future fulfillment of the millennial sabbath rest comes at a future day. To say that Jesus is our sabbath rest is a plain violation of Hebrews 4:8 as well as the entire future rest theme in this passage. 6. Trying to roll over Hebrews 4:9 "There remains therefore a rest (greek word: Sabbatismo) for the people of God" by using your unbiblically supported interpretation of the entire section is just bad exegesis. Just look at the following verse! Hebrews 4:10 "For he who has entered His rest has himself also CEASED FROM HIS WORKS as God did from His." This is a clear reference to Hebrews 4:4, which, again, identifies ceasing from works as resting on the literal, seventh day sabbath. To anyone who takes the time to read this: ****THE SABBATH ABSOLUTELY IS REQUIRED FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD!**** Don't be deceived by this false teacher! Solberg, after listening to your teaching I feel compelled to give you a warning. James 3:1 tells us to be careful not to become teachers, because teachers will receive a stricter judgment. You are at risk of judgment with this teaching and teachings similar to this sir. Please reconsider your misunderstanding of scripture and please repent of the fact you are pushing your views by deliberately omitting critical scriptural evidence. You will receive a stricter judgment for teachings like these.
Amen! We have freedom in Christ! I Just found this channel through Mike with on point preparedness, great video quality, great audio, and most importantly, great breakdown of the scriptures. Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Yes we are all spiritually resting in Christ but I don't see why we must spit on His physical Sabbath in order to do that? God gifted us the Sabbath so that we can rest. You can tell yourself that you are "in Christ's rest" all you want but if you don't get tired and need a day of rest you are lying or not human. The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. God set it apart and made it Holy and it has been a covenant between God and His people since Eden... I don't see a way around this. It just sounds like rebellion to me. And I am guilty of not always honoring it how I should!! I am trying to walk out my own faith with fear and trembling and just rely on God's grace and mercy for where I fall short, without using his grace and an excuse to just live however I want.
how can it be mosaic law if it was instituted way before moses ? if jesus is our sabbath rest then why did he prophecy pray that your flight not be on the sabbath ? if jesus is our sabbath then why do we need to worship from sabbath to sabbath on the new earth to come ?
Hello, XX! The Mosaic law, including the weekly Sabbath command, was not instituted way before Moses. That's when it began. Here's another look at the Sabbath you might find interesting: th-cam.com/video/98hq1AGzkR8/w-d-xo.html Blessings, RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots yes thats when it began, in the garden. thats the institution of it--the stablished holy day of sabbath. simple. if god didnt want it in the decalogue he never would have put it in the first place. it would have just been nine or maybe some other command. the jewish shmita sabbath law was never part of the ten commandments because that was for the jews only. the seventh day sabbath was for all mand kind and that why is was put into the decalogue, otherwise it would have been left out to begin with if it was only for the jews like the shmita. god doesnt make mistakes. not a shadow because it was instituted before sin, so it couldnt have pointed forward to the cross. the word remember means to go back not forward
as a matter of fact the ten commands are the character of god . they existed before creation even before the devil . satan sinned first---he wanted tobe like the most high--covetousness . just because they wernt written on stone does not mean they didnt exist. they possibly could have been written back then but the bible doesnt mention it.
I am saying that, because of the work of Yeshua, the law applies in a different way under the New Covenant. This is why, for example, we no longer sacrifice animals or have a temple or a Levitical priesthood. Blessings, Rob
@@geraldjohnson8871 and I'm asking him... I want to understand I'm not for or against following the law... Honestly I want to understand what I can do to be pleasing to our heavenly father. .. I don't follow the law of Moses but I wonder if I should be keeping the Sabbath because that's in the ten commandments..
@@TheBiblicalRoots yes I understand we don't need to sacrifice any longer but this video was about the Sabbath... I don't follow the law of Moses should we follow the ten commandments? I want to do what God thinks is right not me... You give good arguments not to follow the law of Moses but does that also apply to the ten commandments I thought that was separate
Hey brother, I am not a Torah keeper or into Hebrew Roots, but as far as not being saved by works, what do you do about Galatians 6 where it says we reap eternal life if we keep on doing good and keep sowing to the Spirit?
Hello AITW! That passage in Galatians 6 says, "Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life." (Gal. 6:7-8). I don't read that as saying the way to achieve eternal life is by doing good. Rather, when read in the context of the larger idea that Paul began back in chapter 5, I see it as an agricultural metaphor encouraging the Galatians to live by the Spirit. Paul says we can't engage in works of the flesh (5:19) and expect to experience God’s life. And this isn't limited to life after death but begins in the present, as we are transformed by God’s Spirit (5:22-23). At least that's my 2 cents! Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots thanks for the reply. Now, what happens if a Christian with the Spirit gives up sowing to the Spirit? Will that person still have eternal life according to that passage you quoted? The Bible talks about salvation in 3 different tenses - past (we WERE saved), present (BEING saved), and future tense (we WILL BE saved). Paul says the condition for reaping eternal life is that we KEEP ON doing good (aka sowing to the Spirit), and in this way we will (future tense) reap eternal life. We have eternal life now and everyone agrees with that. But according to that passage what happens if we give up doing good (sowing to the Spirit)?
@@CommentedHere0 yes of course. It’s what Paul was just talking about in the context - it’s walking by the Spirit or walking in the Spirit. These are all synonyms - “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” Galatians 5:16-17, 24-25 NKJV

Good morning Mr. Solberg. I have a question maybe you can answer this one for me because I need help. I'm not skilled neither in Greek or Hebrew at all but I noticed that in John 15 Jesus commands us to abide in Him. I say this because I'm wondering, if that word were to be translated into Hebrew would it also mean "Nuahk" which means to dwell or to settle but also means to rest. And we can see that word used several times in the OT. Is that the word Jesus was using in John 15. I looked at the Greek which also means to dwell, remain... What do you think about that. This be a solid word as pointing Jesus being our Sabbath... I know that word there is in Greek. Just wondering if this was the proper meaning if we were to translate it from greek to Hebrew. Merry Christmas brother👍
Hi Dan. Translating the Greek word μένω (menō) into Hebrew would be interesting, but it wouldn't necessarily capture the intention of the biblical author in that passage. That said, the idea of abide (stay, dwell, remain) seems congruous with the idea of rest. And, in fact, the word μένω is translated "rest" in John 1: "And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and he rested (menō) on him. 33 I didn’t know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The one you see the Spirit descending and resting (menō) on-he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’" John 1:32-33 (CSB) Some translations use the word "remain" or "stay" in this passage. I don't know if this is enough of a connection to build a case for Jesus as the Sabbath. Maybe there's something there, it is an interesting observation. You might consult Hebrew translations of the New Testament to see which Hebrew word those translators choose. And/or you could try a search of the Septuagint and see how it uses the word μένω. Shalom, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Yes thank you so much and for John 1. I'll definitely keep looking. it is interesting because I also found that word Yashab is the Hebrew word for abide and seems it's mentioned several times in the OT for resting but I could be wrong... And that same word is also applied in John 15 as meno. I'll keep looking more into it. Hebrews 4 lays the foundation that in Him we have that rest. I appreciate your help thanks 👍 and happy new years
I apologize for the length, but this topic is a topic that causes one to write, not to impress. The law of God needs to be put in its right perspective and it has nothing to do with making one God's righteousness. The word of God is clear that we are made God righteousness in Yeshua through his atonement on the cross apart from the law, but that is only if we accept the atonement. In addition, it is his righteousness that allows one to enter the kingdom of God. Yeshua said, if our righteousness does not exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees we cannot enter the kingdom of God, which is why he became a sin sacrifice, so that we may be made God's righteousness in him. Does the above mean that the law of God is done away with, I am talking about the Decalogue? The law of God was not made for the righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, but who are the lawless and disobedient? The Epistle of Paul to Timothy gives us a description of the lawless and disobedient, and it is clear from the Epistles to the Galatians and Romans that the law of God leads to Christ who is the end of the law for righteousness, not to mention that Christ came to redeem those under the law. Those under the law at one time were lawless and disobedient, which shows the important of the laws in one's life. A teacher of the law asked Yeshua, what must I do to inherit eternal life? Yeshua asked him two question, what is written in the law" How readest thou? The teacher of the law understood the importance of the law and read them with two commandments. Yeshua responded, do this and thou shall live. Obedience to the law of God giveth life on earth, example, honor thy mother and father and though shall live. The argument was not about the Decalogue, it was about circumcision and corrupted views. They sought the law, but not by faith, which shows how important is God's law, they are holy, good and perfect. Jeremiah was clear about the law of God, and if you construe the chapter carefully you will understand what made the law of God new; God made the covenant with two houses, not like the one he made with their fathers (not houses) which were on tablets of stones. What made it new was that he stored and written them within and made that covenant with two hourses, and it is clear from the Epistles to the Romans, if we walk after the Spirit, the Spirit of God will fulfill the righteousness of the law, including the Sabbath. Your statement appears that you believe the Sabbath is done away with, but one day it will be restored and if that is what you are saying, you are distorting God's word through your interpretation. God was cleared when he first spoke. Yeshua understood the Sabbath which is why he said he is the Lord of the Sabbath, because Exodus tells us that the Sabbath is of the LORD and we can see it through Yeshua that the Sabbath is of the law, it was on the Sabbath that God through Yeshua was performing his wondrous work. Back to the entire Decalogue, if you believe they are done away with then you are leaning to your own understanding. Christ came to fulfill all that was spoken of him, to remove the law and I am referring to the Decalogue. True, it did not say we who kept the commandments, but it is clear from verse 4 that he was talking about the seventh day, not the commandments, in other words, you are distorted the true teaching of this passage. Continue reading, if they shall enter into my rest, what rest? The Sabbath rest, the seventh day, the sabbath was made for man, for what? For man to rest. Let me make this clear, the Decalogue hast nothing to do with salvation, but when one is obedient to God's commandment one is walking a righteous work before God and one can safely state that is a proof that one is made God's righteousness in Yeshua apart from the law.
Thank you, Sam! That's a good word. I see a distinction between the unchanging, eternal Law of God which has existed since the beginning and the Law of Moses which was given at Mount Sinai around 1,500 BCE. The Law of Moses was one expression of the eternal principles found in the Law of God. It was "holy and righteous and good" (Rom 7:12). But it was not the first state of things, and it was never intended to be the final state of things. For example, the specific regulations required under the Law of Moses regarding atonement for sin have changed. God's people have gone from repeated animal sacrifices at the temple under the Mosaic Covenant, to Christ's sacrifice "once for all" (Heb 10:10) under the New Covenant. Blood still atones for sin; that is an unchanging, eternal principle in the Law of God. However, the way that principle is expressed has changed. Under the New Covenant, we still have a sacrifice, but it is expressed through the blood of Christ's eternal sacrifice. In the same way, I believe the universal principle behind Shabbat has not changed. But it seems to me the specific Shabbat regulations required under the Law of Moses have. In other words, we still _Sabbath_ today, but we do it differently under the New Covenant. Shalom, Rob
Rob, the law of God had nothing to do with salvation, it had to do with obedience, and being obedience to God law allow one to walk a right before God, not that it may one God's righteousness, we are made God's righteousness in Yeshua. Example of this walk was Zacharias and Elisabeth as stated in Luke, they both were righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. Abraham himself, obeyed God's voice, and kept God's charge, commandments, statutes and law (Genesis 2:5). What commandments and law? It appears before he put the commandment on tablets of stones he gave them verbally, Zipporah know about circumcision. Since men have forgotten the law of God and his commandments he put them on tablets of stone, but the old covenant as previously stated was made with the fathers, what made the old covenant new was that God made it with the two houses, but this time within. Yeshua fulfilled many things and when before quoted Matthews 5:17, if you read the previously chapter one can understand why he made that statement, many things he had already fulfilled. I am talking about ten commandment and the Apostle Paul is clear in Romans 8:9 when he said that the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So, if the carnal mind cannot then who can? Correct, the believers. Jeremiah 31 is clear about the new covenant and the Epistle of Hebrews 10 confirms Jeremiah's passage. I state this in a respectful manner, you need to study Romans 8, then you will understand that the law of God is to be place in its right perspective and cannot be ignore. Again, I am talking about the Decalogue, and you cannot remove one, you either accept it or not. You need to understand that the Sabbath was instituted by God, he was the one that gave the law, the phrase "the law of Moses" is blinding many which is why christian brethren say they are done away with. My question to you, who gave the law, God or Moses, if you say Moses then God did not give the law, if you say God, then one has to be obedient to the law of God. Let me make this clear, many of the ordinances or instructions God gave Christ had fulfilled, like the sacrifice, Yeshua did it once and for all. Another thing, you did not respond to things that I mentioned, like the teacher of the law. Let me make this clear, I am not trying to nail you, I put it on the table it is up to the person to weight it and construe it truthfully, the Spirit of God is the one that enlightened our understanding with the truth of God's word, what God made clear when he first spoke. I will say this, it appears to me that the hebrew roots movement is a sect and all they talk is temple, I do not hear them talking about a walk with God in Christ.
15:30, 1. Resting on the 7th Day. 2. Resting in the Promised Land (important geographic location). 3. Resting in Yahuwshua HaMashiach. 22:45, You will be held accountable for these teachings so I really hope YHWH, not the enemy, has written this on your heart.
Hi there, I was following your argument for a while, and I think you’ve conceptualized the issue relatively well, but I find that the conclusion you come to is false. I’ve studied the sabbath for years now and continue to come to the same conclusion: that the Sabbath commandment is still a requirement for Christians today. But I am always open to learning more, and if I’m wrong, I’d like someone to clearly show me how. I don’t know if you’ll see or respond to this, but if you do, I’d like to make the following points and hear how you would counter them: (1) If the Promised Land (a physical place) was equated with God’s Sabbath rest (and I agree that it is), then why do you describe the New Covenant Sabbath rest as a spiritual rather than physical rest? In other words, the rest we are to enter into as explained in Hebrews 4 cannot be a spiritual rest but a physical rest, as demonstrated by the use of the Greek words sabbatismos and katapausis, both of which, in this context, refer to a physical resting place, i.e. the heavenly rest all believers will attain when Christ comes again. I don’t know of any scripture that describes the Sabbath rest as a spiritual, peace-like rest. (2) Matthew 11:28-29 doesn’t say Jesus IS our Sabbath rest (it doesn’t mention the Sabbath at all, in fact), it says Jesus will GIVE us rest (from the Greek anapausis, which means a cessation of labor or recreational rest), nor do any scriptures say that Jesus is our Promised Land. Instead, Hebrews 4 uses the words katapausis and sabbatismos to demonstrate that the rest believers will enter into (through believing in Jesus) is the rest to come in the New Heaven and New Earth. How could this rest be fully achieved, and how could we rest from our works as God did from his, if this rest is not a physical place as Eden was, as Canaan was, and as the New Heaven and Earth will be? Would not a more consistent argument be that the Sabbath Rest in Eden compared to the Sabbath Rest in Canaan would be compared not to a spiritual rest on earth but to the physical rest of the New Heaven and the New Earth? (3) Where does the assumption that every law must be repeated in the New Testament in order to be valid originate from? The New Covenant is about a better promise, in which God did not create a new law but put His law in our minds and wrote them on our hearts (Hebrews 8:6-10). Even so, Jesus validates the Sabbath in Matthew 12:1-13 and Mark 2:23-28 (and notice how in neither of these passages does he refer to himself as the Sabbath but instead says he is Lord OF the Sabbath), the Sabbath was penned into the book of Acts (I don't quite understand why, if the Sabbath day is done away with and the apostles knew this, the author of Acts didn't write "seventh day" instead of "the Sabbath" when referring to the seventh day of the week, as in Acts 13:44, for instance.), the apostles met with Gentiles on the Sabbath, and Hebrews 4 demonstrates that the seventh day Sabbath represents the heavenly reward for all those who believe. So even if the assumption was true, that every law has to be repeated verbatim in the New Testament in order to be valid, the Sabbath commandment would be valid given the New Testament scriptures that support it. (4) No observance of the law grants us access to God’s heavenly rest, including the Sabbath commandment, because we are, as you explained, saved by faith. However, our faith must be demonstrated through our works (i.e. through our law-keeping), because “faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone” (James 2:17; also see Romans 6:1-2, which explains that being under grace does not permit sin, i.e. law-breaking). So of course keeping the seventh day Sabbath as the law commands will not save us, but doing so does demonstrate our faith, which will save us by God’s grace. (5) So the question is not “Are we saved by keeping the Sabbath?,” because the answer to that is a resounding “No!” The real question is, “Does the New Testament do away with seventh-day Sabbath-keeping?,” and the more I study this topic, the more I find that it does not: The Sabbath commandment still stands, not because it will save us, but because it demonstrates our faith and commitment to God and His righteous standard in the same way that the other laws that we likely agree on (e.g. not stealing, not committing adultery, honoring parents, etc.) do. Hopefully that all made sense. I’d appreciate any comments on this. God bless you!
When reading throughout the NT, all those who will not inherit the kingdom of God, I haven't seen mentioned those who do not keep the Sabbath. I'm not trying to overthrow the faith of anyone, but that's my observation. If there's a reason for that, I'm all ears.

@23:10 You quoted Jesus saying, "Take My yoke upon you and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). But then you added to that "I will give you Shabbat"... attempting to replace the word "rest" with "shabbat/sabbath". Why did you imply this as an identical word when the Greek word is different than Sabbath (sabbaton)? The Greek word here for "rest" is actually anapauo (G373 in the Strong's), and this word is NEVER used in scripture as a word for Sabbath.
Hi Anthony. I didn't mean to imply an identical word, but rather an identical concept. I probably should've been more clear about that. I was referring to the Hebrew verb for rest or ceasing, שׁבת, not the commanded day of rest (noun) שַׁבָּת. Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots It is not an identical concept. This would have been a more appropriate Hebrew word if you had to bring us into Hebrew for some unknown reason: mānôaḥ (מָנוֹחַ) noun, or nûaḥ (נוּחַ) verb
Actively practicing the efficiency of Jesus/the gospel for a 24 hour period with your family. People always forget about the part of the commandment that says "everyone in your house even down to the dog". This is extremely beneficial. Again Jesus is the sabbath. So to say the sabbath isn't necessary is to say Jesus isn't necessary.... agreeing with the idea that honoring the sabbath doesn't get you to hevan, but those who are headed to heaven have the sabbath. So make sure you aim attend to nothing but God on the sabbath while involving everyone you can. Don't try to make people, even your kids attend to God, encourage and give them an environment without distractions and tell them God is the only one that will give you the desire to place all of your hart and mind aka "attention" on him, let alone the ability to act on said desire. Again not about the actions but that doesn't mean what you do doesn't matter or have consequences, like your children going to Hell because they don't know what it means to worship God.... so yes you don't have to, but maybe it's not about you.... but YOUR FAMILY..... otherwise God will have to save them from a lot of easily avoidable pain and suffering. Don't do that to your kids... please.
@@qw2ps4 Satan would love to pluck each of us out of our Father's will. I once worked with a disillusioned member of the HRM, so I very much so enjoyed Dr. Solberg's expositions of scripture. Do you care to elaborate as to why you felt the need to say this?
We must not confuse the Ten Commandments with the 600 Laws. They are completely different. The Ten are summed up as loving God and loving our neighbor. We love because of the Holy Spirit in us Who was given on Pentecost. The Ten were also given on Pentecost. If we can’t dedicate one Day a week to Jesus Christ Who is our Sabbath Rest, how will we survive in Heaven dedicating 7 days a week to Him?
so because hebrews says we enter christs rest, that somehow abolished the 4th commandments? that doenst make sense. seems like your reading something that isnt there, or making things up to fit your narrative.
"it" is Christ, who is Holy. Thanks be to God. If you find Sabbath rest apart from Christ you are in grave danger of placing your hope and faith in that which God did not direct as he said of those who spoke as so, "I swore they would not enter my rest." Its a grave warning.

14:15 - the definition for God's family never changed. It was always about faith.(Hebrews 11) Anyone who believes is grafted into the people of Israel. And anyone who continued in unbelief/disobedience, bloodline Israel or otherwise, was in danger of being cut off. (Romans 11)
Shalom. 14:57 solely on believing?? What comes to mind is this verse. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. James 2:19-24 How do you justify solely on believing, when works is apart of it too? I look forward to hearing from you. Grace and Shalom.
Jesus is called, LORD, and the 'word' because if you look at Isaiah 45:7, the LORD does ALL these things, and the 'law' is given as a blessing AND a curse, thus the duality of light and dark are shown. The key to understanding God's perspective of them is different than ours, but easily understood.
Law keeping can never get any one to heaven, but only through faith, which came from Abraham. If you are to keep the laws, then you are cursed, Galatians 3:10. Remember that Titus 3:5 also says it's not the good things we do that saves us but only through Christ, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit. If righteousness can be earned through following the laws of God, then Christ died for nothing, Galatians 2:21.
Dedicating one day a week to really Resting in Him, is that too much to ask? How will you handle Resting in Him 7 days a week for all Eternity if you can’t handle one day? Are Christians watching Hulu or Netflix or Disney plus really resting in Him? Are Christians watching their favorite NFL or MLB or NHL or NBA team really Resting in Him? Look at the Ten. Can you recite them? Most Christians have trouble with this. No other Gods, that’s still relevant, right? No idols, still important, right, not taking His Name in vain which is really means not being a hypocrite, keeping His Sabbath Holy set apart for Him no longer relevant??? Honoring our parents, still important. Don’t murder, or can you do that now? No, obviously. No adultery. No stealing. No lying. No coveting. All summed are all about love. We in today’s church have literally changed the Sabbath Day to Sunday because of bad Bible translating. How? Jesus Rose on the first day of the week, which is Sunday, right??? No, Jesus Christ Rose on the first day of the week of week 1 of the 7 Weeks of 7 aka the Feast of Weeks. Jesus Christ Rose on Day 1 of the 49. The next Day was Day 50, Pentecost, the Day that the Holy Spirit was given. Jesus Christ Rose on the Hebrew Day called First Fruits. First Fruits is Day 1 of the 49. All 7 Hebrew Feasts sum up the full Gospel Message. Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Tabernacles, Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits and Weeks have all 100% been fulfilled by Jesus Christ. The Fall Feasts are for sin and the Spring Feasts are for death.
Hey I'm not disrespecting you or anything, but if you have faith in Jesus that you will be saved, are you saying that it is both faith and works are needed for salvation? Please explain
@@rapzkie392 Jas 2:14 KJV What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Jesus said "If you love me, keep my commandments." We have not been given the authority to choose which commandments to keep. The Sabbath, like marriage was instituted before Adam and Eve sinned. (Is it a coincidence that they are the most debated institutions that are attacked today?). Why out of all the 10 commandments, we are told to remember the Sabbath? Is it possible that God thought that His people might forget? Therefore, as the Sabbath was instituted during creation week, before sin, the 7th Day Sabbath cannot be part of the ceremonial law, written by Moses.The ceremonial law was written after sin and prefigured the ministry of Christ. That's why we don't kill lambs, as Jesus is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. Christ is also our Passover. We are saved by His blood, not by the blood of animals on our doorpost. Most Christians, it seems have a problem with the 4th commandment, but have no problems with keeping the other 9. The early Christians were having desputes about circumcism (read Galations), food given to idols and even if women should cover their heads and speak in church . If the Apostles were observing Sunday as the day of worship, a change after thousands of years of worshipping on Saturday, wouldnt it have been mentioned in the NT writings, and wouldn't some of the traditional 'converted' Jews be creating a fuss, that the Apostles would have had to address? Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath, because He created it. In accepting Him as our personal Saviour and having a personal relationship with Him, we enter into His rest. In the earth made new, living with Him, we will have eternal life and experience total rest (no more sin). In the Earth made new, according to Isaiah, we will still be keeping the Sabbath.
Hi, Jeanaheroe. Scripture tells Christians, "Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ" (Col. 2:16-17). Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Thank you for your reply. The scripture you are quoting is in regard to keeping of the religious feasts and ceremonies which were a prefigure of Christ. Some of those feasts had special Sabbaths that did not necessarily fall on the 7th day of the week. It mentioned Sabbath days. Those feasts, I think we both agree with the scripture you quoted prefigured Christ. However, the Sabbath was mentioned before Mt Sinai. In the gathering of Manna, the children of Israel were instructed not to gather Manna on the 7th day of the week. In the book of Luke, it is mentioned that Our Lord Jesus Christ also kept the Sabbath, it was His custom. He was vocal about the behaviour of the Pharisees and Saducees, but he never spoke to them about the day of their Sabbath keeping. He exposed their hypocrisy. Exploitation of the poor and show of godliness when He knew they were plotting to kill Him. The Sabbath was instituted on the 7th day. God rested from His acts of Creating the Earth. God was not tired, but He was setting an example for us as human beings to follow. Exodus 20 was a reminder to the children of Israel, to keep the Sabbath because it would remind them that God is their Creator as opposed to the false gods of Egypt and Caanan. It was also an opportunity to rest from their labour's and spend time with Him. Even the servants and animals had a break. Again, the Sabbath reminds us that God is our Creator (Exodus 20: 8--11) as opposed to gods of evolution, Mother Earth and any other false God, human kind chooses to make up.
I am confused. Another video, a national debate, points out that another thing that is not addressed here. We believe in Jesus, and by believing means we live the way Jesus do and follow his teachings, and commands. The debate points out that Jesus died on the cross means the punishment was paid by Jesus, but the rule is still there. 😶
I agree we need to follow the teachings and commands of Jesus! Well said. Where do you find Jesus teaching or commanding his followers to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy? RLS
Deuteronomy 4:1,2 & 13 Ecclesiastes 3:14 , Matthew 5:18 can you explain these to me? My brother I've been asking you questions to understand where your mindset goes but after listening to this I find a lot of errors, you called the The commandments the law of Moses, Moses said it's the law of God,you said it's for the the children of Israel God said it's for all men, you said God separated the Isrealites from the Gentiles, God said he didn't separate anyone. Isaiah 56:1-8 As a theologian you should know all these things, Hebrews affirm the keeping of the sabbath you say it didn't, when those that had faith in God enter the promise land did they kept the sabbath? The sabbath is not an option it's a command,God was being very specific when he said it, everyone who kept the sabbath please God and those who didn't keep the sabbath didn't please God. All the disciples kept the sabbath as God said the all believe in the law and the prophets, Acts 24:14 Jesus himself taught us to keep in colossians 2:1-18 Paul said don't let anyone judge you how to keep the sabbath The ordinances you talking about was place in the side but the sabbath along with the ten commandments was place inside the ark, do you know that? Read deuteronomy. Let's talk about the new covenant, God said he will write my laws in your heart and in your mind will I write them, Jeremiah 31.....if God write it in your heart means it wasn't written in the heart before and that what's make the difference To sum up everything the Ten Commandments is not Moses law it's the law of God almighty and just as a murderer unrepented will not enter God's kingdom so the man who violates God's sabbath unrepented or turn away will not enter God's kingdom. Thank you brother and may you search out God, BLESSINGS
King Perry, Good to hear from you! As far as Deut 4:1-2, 13, who is God addressing in this passage? It's right there at the beginning, "And now, O *Israel,* listen to the statutes and the rules that I am teaching you..." And here's a brief explanation of Matt 5:18 that I just released: th-cam.com/video/_UNESZi_LFY/w-d-xo.html BTW I refer to the commandments as the "Law of Moses" because that is the term that Scripture consistently uses to refer to the commands that Yahweh gave Israel at Mount Sinai through Moses (Josh 8:31-32, 23:6; Judges 4:11; 1 Kings 2:3; 2 Kings 23:35; 2 Chron 23:18, 30:16; Ezra 3:2, 7:6, Neh 8:1; Dan 9:13; Luke 2:22, 24:44; John 7:23; Acts 13:39, 15:5, 28:23; 1 Cor 9:9; Heb 10:28). The Law of Moses was given as the terms of the Sinai covenant, which God made solely with the nation of Israel (Ex 19:1-6). God never commanded Gentile nations to keep the weekly Sabbath, nor has he ever judged them for not keeping it. And nowhere in the New Testament will you find anyone being instructed to keep the Sabbath. It is never prohibited, of course, which is why we see the Jewish followers of Jesus keeping it. It is permitted but not required of Christians. Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots God was speaking to everyone that dwell in the land no one is exempt, Exodus 20:8-11God includes none Isrealites only if you thinks that God is a liar, God said violation of his sabbath is evil, Isaiah 56:1-2 once something is evil with God it cannot become good its always evil, when God was speaking to the children of Israel there was also a mix multitude, people from other nations Exodus 12:37 and everyone was supposed the same commandments Exodus 12:49 Isreal is God's family if follow God you apart of his family
@@TheBiblicalRoots One more thing when you say that the sabbath is for Israel only you putting a separation between the Isrealites and none Isrealites, God never separate anyone, Isaiah 56:1-8 God said "don't say I separated you from my people" when you hear the phrase "hear o Israel" he's speaking to everyone that dwells in the land, weather they were born in the land or a stranger. God is the business of saving souls, everyone in Nineveh obeyed God and keep the sabbath, that wasn't Isrealites, Ruth and Rahab also, everyone who kept the sabbath please God and those who didn't keep the sabbath didn't please God.Isaiah 56:1-8 The sabbath is everlasting, if God said it's so it is so, I cannot say this enough, God cannot lie
@@TheBiblicalRoots I forgot that thou shall not commit adultery thou shall not kill was also addressed to Isreal, so if what is addressed to Isreal is for Isreal then you are free to do those
@@TheBiblicalRoots Jesus never say he is our sabbath and nowhere in the New testament is that ever recorded, there's no text in the New Testament that Jesus or his disciples ever worship on Sunday as cooperate worship, find me one
This video explanation may sound nice but it is unbiblicall. How do you explain Exodus 16 which was before the 10 commandments and if all other 10 commandments can be transgressed in the mind and in action (ie. act of adultery and thoughts of adultery, bowing down to idols and thoughts of having other gods etc) how is it that the one commandment that existed before sin, in Genesis 1, and before the giving of the law as seen in Exodus 16 no longer exists? Hebrews 4 is crystal clear. God's rest was physical. He ceased from His works on the 7th day and we are to cease as well AS He did from His. Hebrews 4 says: 3Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ” b And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. 4For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.” c 5And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.” 6Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience, 7God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” d 8For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, e just as God did from his. 11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. I believe the year-for-day belief is unbiblical resulting in 2300 years, IJ, 1260 years etc being unbiblical as well as other SDA teachings are wrong but the 7th day Sabbath rest did not originate with EGW and the SDA movement. Dale Ratzlaff and the like throw out the Sabbath, as you have, and there is no biblical basis to do so. I would encourage you to please consider what I am sharing with you and honor God as He expects His children to do. He made the Sabbath day for us for a reason. Now let's look at Hebrews 7 and Colossians 2 in context. Let's look at the CONTEXT to see what these verses are referring to. We need to be careful to take God's Word as it reads (EXEGESIS) without reading into the text (EISEGESIS). Hebrews 7:5 "Now THE LAW REQUIRES the descendants of Levi who become PRIESTS TO COLLECT A TENTH from the people-that is, from their fellow Israelites-even though they also are descended from Abraham. Which LAW included paying tithe? Nehemiah 10:36-37 says: “As it is also written in the Law, we will bring the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests ministering there. “Moreover, we will bring to the storerooms of the house of our God, to the priests, the first of our ground meal, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees and of our new wine and olive oil. And we will bring a tithe of our crops to the Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all the towns where we work." The TITHE is part of the CEREMONIAL LAW which is separate from the 10 commandments. Deuteronomy 12:11 Then to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name-there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice possessions you have vowed to the LORD. The LAW that was nailed to the cross has nothing to do with the 10 commandments. These are those which were handwritten by Moses. The "Sabbath's" here in Colossians 2 refer to the annual Sabbath's and not the weekly one that was established in Eden and made for man. The handwritten law was ADDED 430 years later. The language used in Colossians clearly refers to the annual Feasts. Paul here is telling the Gentiles to not worry about the Jews who still believe these ceremonial laws need to be kept. Colossians 2:14, 16-17 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. If you read Hebrews 9 and 10, it is clear that the LAW which was a SHADOW (Hebrews 10:1) is the ceremonial law. Most Christians are sheep and follow popular beliefs for one reason or another. SDAs, on the other hand follow EGWs views of scripture. Their beliefs are not all wrong but their foundation in the year-for-day is leading to many false beliefs which contradicts scripture. The SDA movement was based on a misapplication of Numbers 14:34, the SDA movement is not the originator of the 7th day Sabbath observance. In fact, in Hebrews 4:10, we are even called upon to ENTER GOD'S REST by resting from our works in the very same was AS GOD DID FROM HIS. Hebrews 4:10 and Genesis 2:2-3 says: "for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, BECAUSE on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done." So to cease from our works AS God did from His is clear that we are also to work and cease for a day upon THE day which He made Holy. The 10 commandments was not the LAW THAT WAS ADDED because of transgression. All 10 were seen since the beginning for they are the foundational laws for man. Adam and Eve sinned as they had another god, Cain sinned as he murdered Abel etc etc. I encourage you to revisit this topic and allow God rather than men who have gone before you. God bless!
Entering into the rest of God is dependent only on one's belief, not one's works. I only see truth in what Rob is saying and I see only manipulation being expressed in your explanation.
No one says anyone is a “ Sunday keeper.” Hebrews 4 is clear unless you are a bewitched wannabe Jew fool. New covenant new creations in Christ enter into an eternal rest in Christ by faith. You would know this if you were a Christian.
This was the absolute best explanation of “rest” that we are all promised, that I have ever heard! Well done sir! Been a believer for over 30 years and recently discovered what rest really means as it’s spelled out in Hebrews. There’s not much teaching on this subject that’s this in depth. Excellent!
In all my research on the sabbath conversation, this is by FAR the best explanation I've ever heard! Thank you, God bless you& continue explaining our beautiful Bible the way you do
Wow, thank you, Rachel!
Bless you, Rob
HOW CAN THE JEWS KEEP THE SABBATH FOREVER IF THE SABBATH WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS ?
We are saved by grace through faith not by the law, """"BUT"""" there is some things one can do like follow God's commands!
Christians miss out on many blessings when they don't do anything!
Take the sabbath for instance....
Isaiah 56 tells us about the blessings to those that keep God's sabbath(s)!
First you'll be remembered by God!
Also you'll have a name better than a son or daughter.
He tells the foreigners and eunuchs that even THEY will be blessed for keeping them!
Now the sons & daughters are faithful Israel!
Yes there is some of Israel who were faithful!
The foreigners are the ( Christians) & they will be given a name better than faithful Israel, ""IF"" they take delight in Gods sabbaths (Isaiah 58:13)!
The blessings are there for anyone who wishes to follow Gods instructions!
Yet we have many who would rather follow mans instructions instead.
Here's the thing .... Israel tried it their way many times and they were disciplined by God.
Somehow todays Christians think they're going to do the same as Israel but this time with different results!
That somehow God will accept disobedience from them because they're """CHRISTIANS"""!
A rude awaking is waiting for all that think they can be disobedient to God and that God will grant them salvation, when He wouldn't grant it to the Israelites that were disobedient!
@@qw2ps4 Yes, but under the New Covenant, Christ pours His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. And love fulfills the law. All the law and the prophets hang on two commands, love God and neighbor. We love God by loving our neighbor. Jesus said that whatever you do (or don't do) to the least you do (or don't do) to Him. How do we love? By resting in Christ's love. He is our rest in that it is no longer we who do the works, but Christ who works through us. Love is a FRUIT, not a work. He works in us and we rest in him. So no one is being disobedient by not following Moses. We fulfill the law through faith expressing itself in love. Jesus didn't just obey the law, He fulfilled it, by His sacrificial love show to others to the point of death. It's easy to obey the law of Moses. It's impossible to fulfill it. Only Christ can fulfill it in us, and that is by faith. I do delight in the Sabbath, in the rest that I have in Christ. I delight in the fact that I don't have to work to please Him, that it is my faith and trust in Him that pleases Him.
@@qw2ps4: *Amen! Well articulated.*
One so often hear the argument that we are not under law but under grace *but what does it mean to be under grace?*
First let's define what sin is according to the Bible. 1 John 3:4 *‘Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.’* Therefore, *if there is no Law then there can be no sin,* and for even further clarity Romans 4:15 says, *‘Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.’*
*And what about God's grace?* - *What is this exactly?* - *Put simply,* - *it is His unmerited and undeserved favour that we receive as the result of our Saviour's redeeming sacrifice.* - *Please allow me to elaborate more fully.*
*This is where faith comes in.* - *We believe by faith that the sacrifice of Christ cleanses us from all sin.* - *Then comes the free gift from God.* Ephesians 2:8-9 *‘For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.’*
*As a result of our repentance and faith, we receive God's Grace which is His unmerited and undeserved favour that we receive due to Christ interceding on our behalf as a result of His sacrifice*. [1 Timothy 2:5].
*THIS ALSO SHOWS THAT IF THERE WAS NO LAW, THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR GOD'S GRACE.* *IF THERE IS GRACE THEN THERE IS HIS LAW TO BE OBEYED.* - *THERE IS HOWEVER NO SACRIFICE THAT WILL COVER WILFUL AND UN-REPENTED SIN.* [Hebrews 10:26-29]. This is not to say that if one comes to genuine repentance later in time that he will not be forgiven as this is not so. Christ will always forgive those who come to true repentance.*
*Consider the following.* Can a murderer who was sentenced to death work for his freedom? *No*. - *Why not?* - *Because he is under the law and the law demands death.* - *The only way he can be set free is if the Governor gives him a pardon.* - *Now, waiting for the execution this man would truly be under the law in every sense of the word; under the guilt, under the condemnation and under the sentence of death.* - *Just before the execution date the governor reviews the condemned man's case and decides to pardon him. In the light of extenuating circumstances, the governor exercises his prerogative and sends a full pardon to the prisoner. Now the prisoner is no longer under the law but under grace.* - *That is, the law no longer condemns him. He is considered totally justified as far as the charges of the law are concerned and he is free to walk out of the prison and no policeman can stop him.* - *BUT NOW THAT HE IS UNDER GRACE AND NOT LAW, CAN WE SAY THAT HE IS FREE TO BREAK THE LAW? Certainly NOT.* In fact, now he would be much more obligated to obey the law *BECAUSE HE HAS FOUND GRACE FROM THE GOVERNOR. IN GRATITUDE AND LOVE HE WILL BE VERY CAREFUL TO HONOUR AND OBEY THE LAW OF THAT STATE WHICH GRANTED HIM GRACE.*
*Now what did Paul say about sin and grace?* - Romans 6:1-2 *‘What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 GOD FORBID. HOW SHALL WE, THAT ARE DEAD TO SIN, LIVE ANY LONGER THEREIN?’*
And for further clarity using the main passage to avoid loving obedience to God. Romans 6:14-15 *‘For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15 What then shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? GOD FORBID.’*
The Bible does say that we are not under the law, *BUT DOES THAT IMPLY THAT WE ARE FREE FROM THE OBLIGATION TO OBEY IT?* - *HOW EASILY WE COULD PREVENT CONFUSION IF WE JUST ACCEPTED EXACTLY WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.* - *After stating that we are not under the law but under grace,* - *Paul gives his own explanation in verse 15.* He says, *“What then?” This simply means, “How are we to understand this?”* - *Then notice his answer. In anticipation that some would misconstrue his words to mean that you can break the law because you are under grace, he says,* - *“Shall we sin [break the Ten Commandments law] *because we are not under the law but under grace? God forbid.”*
*In the strongest possible language, Paul states that being under grace does not give a license to break the Ten Commandments.* - *Sadly, this is exactly what so many good Christians believe today despite Paul's specific warning.*
According to myself, I've been keeping Sabbath now for 1 half year not because of someone preaching to me. But I heard a voice in my dream look up! Then I saw a written word above in the sky saying to me (cleanse yourself pray and remember to keep Sabbath. ) . And now a days, I stop listening to others to avoid misleading my faith. What I do is to pray and ask GOD to reveal it to me. And I thank Him for I always get direction.
@@marthaliwewe5152 So if this biblical scholar prays as you do for wisdom and discernment to understand the truth about the Sabbath post-resurrection and new covenant, and if the answer he has been led to by God says the opposite of what you have received in a dream, then who has the truth?
@@educational4434 Romans 14:5 Pray about it & he will give you your answer 🥰🥰 I can tell you that I'll never go back, Saturday is OUR day! He even says @ the end of the video that as long as you don't think that it is your salvation you are free to do so & (he doesn't say this but) the Feast Days are the same thing. I'll never go back to the pagan unholy days I'm all about feast days now. The dietary laws make sense when you research them because everything that it says not to eat IS unclean & purely toxic for your body! It's not that if I slip up & eat some bacon I'm going to hell it's that I want to take care of the temple best I can so I try to avoid these foods. Everyone has to follow their own path to find these truths!
@@sarahj2361 Yes, then we are in agreement. I also adhere to the dietary laws as they are health laws. And keeping a weekly Sabbath rest is intelligent and wise. But not as an obedience issue or a salvation issue.
Wonder what that voice was.
Galatians 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
Galatians 4:10 You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.
@@educational4434 No, I'm sorry staying under the law of Moses is a slap in the face to what Jesus did on the Cross. The laws were for the Jews only!! We have the law written on our hearts, and the Holy Spirit is there to guide and convict us. Jesus is now our rest and we rest in Him everyday, everywhere, and anytime. Paul said if you keep those laws you must obey all of them. Good luck with that my friend!
You are my new favorite TH-cam channel!
Whenever I run into a Seventh-day Adventist or Hebrew roots, I’m always trying to explain to them how Jesus is our Rest. It’s hard because they are really dug in. i’m taking notes so I can do a better job! God bless you Brother

Did Jesus or the apostles say that Jesus is our sabbath rest?
@@kingPerry34 Actually yes! Matthew 11:28- 30 Jesus said to his disciples on the Sabbath “Come to me all who are burdened and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light! “
@@kingPerry34 and we know from Colossians chapter 2that the Sabbath and the and the holy days are a shadow of Christ!
@@abidinginchrist3139 Colossians 2 is not say the sabbath is the shadow of Christ, that’s what you have been taught, the keeping of the sabbath now is a shadow of keeping the sabbath perfectly in heaven and in the earth made new, the apostles Paul cannot speak against the prophets
Violation of God’s sabbath will result in hell, only those who keep the sabbath and do the things that please God will enter into his Holy mountain( kingdom )Isaiah 56:1-7 please read
I've also learnt that the book of Hebrews demonstrates the superiority of the new covenant over the old one. Jesus is the second Adam and the new Moses, he is leading us in a new exodus, we are going out (of bondage to the law of sin and death) to the new promised land - the New Jerusalem in heaven, we also have a new rest day, Sunday as a memorial of Christ's resurrection, of his finished work of redemption and in honor of a new beginning/a new creation/a new order in contrast to the old creation and finally Jesus gives us the new manna i.e his own spiritual body and blood to feed on. We have such a high priest who has gone into the heavens on our behalf and is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven.
@NarrowWayToLife The seventh day of creation had no morning and no evening which means that God did not and does not work on a weekly basis as his creative work is already completed and hence has entered his rest in which he remains. Unlike man whom God commanded to rest from his works once a week. Hebrews 4:3" For we who believed enter into that rest,....." And like God we also remain into that rest. Hebrews 4:6 Therefore, since it remains that some will enter into it, and those who formerly received the good news did not enter because of disobedience/unbelief. Hebrews 4:7 he once more set a day, "today" when long afterwards he spoke through David, as already quoted: "Oh! that today you would hear his voice: "Harden not your heart.' " Hebrews 4:8, 10 Now if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterwards of another day. And whoever enters into God's rest, rests from his own works as God did from his. A man enters God's rest anytime/any day he receives the Spirit from faith in what he hears. Let's repeat Hebrews 4:7 "he once more set a day, "today" when long afterwards he spoke through David........" It seems like even back then God had had been resting for a very long time!
@NarrowWayToLife You need to dig deep under the surface to find hidden treasure in the scripture. You also need discernment and divine revelation. Understanding the bible in its entirety is more than just proving theorems in Geometry that you can see and reason with your own eyes and intellect. If you want the bible to show you every doctrine in its pages, you would then have to discredit St Paul (Galatians 1:11-12) as the gospel that he preached was not of human origin nor did he receive it from a human being but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
To talk your talk, in like manner you won't find in the New Testament observance of the Seventh Day Sabbath, the investigative judgment, the pope as the anti-Christ, soul sleep, etc.
God himself made obsolete the Old Covenant. That Old Covenant is invalid now. Jesus is all in all. Why do you want to be under Moses when Moses himself directed the Israelites to obey and follow Jesus. Let Jesus deep into your heart and love him with all you heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. That's what religion is in its core: the God-Man Jesus and loving him tenderly.
Please read Acts 22: 21 They have been informed that you (Paul) are teaching all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to abandon Moses and that you are telling them not to circumcise their children or to observe their customary practices. I hope that verse will tell you why apostolic Christians from the beginning did not observe the Jewish Seventh Day Sabbath.
@NarrowWayToLife Ephesians 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him.
Ephesians 3:4 When you read this you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ
God's rest continues until such time as he creates a new earth and new heavens according to Sam Shamoun's spiritual insight which makes good sense.
Amen and Amen
Praise the name of Jesus !!!
This was sooo good Rob! Thanks so much for your ministry!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Rosemary! Merry Christmas!
Well Done Brother! I fully agree!
A few years ago I finally saw this truth in Hebrews! Awesome Powerful Book!,

@NarrowWayToLife entering into His rest is putting ones faith in Jesus and the Gospel! Yes there is indeed a warning to not be in unbelief about the Gospel:)
@NarrowWayToLife unbelief is the key. Unbelief in the Gospel is deadly my friend
Hebrews 7:11-12; Matthew 11:28-30; Hebrews 4; Hebrews 8. Amen.

@@qw2ps4 Gentiles were never subject to the Mosiac covenant, BUT under Jesus' new covenant Gentiles can enter into God's Sabbath rest any day of the week (Hebrews 4). Further, Jesus' new covenant has better promises than the old, so they miss out on nothing by so doing:
"But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises."
~ Hebrews 8 : 6
@@qw2ps4 Where Paul is saying ''We are saved by grace through faith'' there is no BUT, just a period. That's it, nothing more is required or asked for from us except the faith part. We must believe it or this reality will not
BE true for us. We can only experience salvation if we believe it and believe Jesus for it. Jesus said that those who do not believe are condemned already. The danger that is in the teaching that there is something more we can or must do is that it limits our belief to a Jesus+something else instead of Jesus only. For me this is not being able to believe fully and my question to this is: Do I really believe? I would conclude that belief in a Jesus+something is not a belief in Jesus at all. It is a false belief. There are very important reasons why a belief in Jesus only is the only way. The most important reason is that we cannot ever claim that we had anything to do with our salvation, that we some how were better people because of something we did. Salvation is only a gift, only form God. The only part we have in the equation is that we must believe it is true.
@@kimartist God's sabbath rest is not a day. It is He in me and I in Him, Being one with the Creator. In this place we find true rest, true peace. It was like this for Adam in the garden. This is a better promise.
EXCELLENT research and 'rest' definition in Jesus!
Obedience is the requirements of God.
So glad that Jesus fulfilled that requirement so our faith in him is what justifies us
So vague, can you share what your deeper thoughts are on obedience to in a more complete manner. The shortness of your comment leads me to think there is so much more you'd like to say.
Being obedient to God means to not teach people under the new covenant that they have to keep the Mosaic law (Acts 15, Romans 7:6, Galatians 3:24-26).
Thus, Torahist are disobedient.
14:52 - belief and obedience always always always went hand in hand. They are not opposed to one another. It is our belief that saves us. But our belief also leads us to obedience, if it is genuine.
So you’re just backloading works into the gospel. Interesting. Tells you a lot about the status of your salvation
These videos and teachings are so good. I've been binge watching all of them, and learning so much. Thank you Rob. I pray you are richly blessed❤
Thank you, Gayle! Blessings, Rob
We are saved by grace through faith not by the law, """"BUT"""" there is some things one can do like follow God's commands!
Christians miss out on many blessings when they don't do anything!
Take the sabbath for instance....
Isaiah 56 tells us about the blessings to those that keep God's sabbath(s)!
First you'll be remembered by God!
Also you'll have a name better than a son or daughter.
He tells the foreigners and eunuchs that even THEY will be blessed for keeping them!
Now the sons & daughters are faithful Israel!
Yes there is some of Israel who were faithful!
The foreigners are the ( Christians) & they will be given a name better than faithful Israel, ""IF"" they take delight in Gods sabbaths (Isaiah 58:13)!
The blessings are there for anyone who wishes to follow Gods instructions!
Yet we have many who would rather follow mans instructions instead.
Here's the thing .... Israel tried it their way many times and they were disciplined by God.
Somehow todays Christians think they're going to do the same as Israel but this time with different results!
That somehow God will accept disobedience from them because they're """CHRISTIANS"""!
A rude awaking is waiting for all that think they can be disobedient to God and that God will grant them salvation, when He wouldn't grant it to the Israelites that were disobedient!
Thank you for the teaching moment, I realize some comments say that the Apostles were just christians or just letters and its not the same as the Torah, law. But we know that the N.T is the inspired Word of God as well. Thank you brother.
Amen, brother. To ignore the clear New Testament teaching on the Sabbath in favor of imposing the sign of the Mosaic Covenant on everyone is just the kind of thing Jesus was talking about when he said, “You search the Scriptures because you think in them you have life, but they speak of Me.”
Amazing how the Spirit of God continues to enlighten our understanding with the truth of God's word what God made clear when he first spoke. Yeshua said to the teacher of the law thou readest well, do this and you shall live. The law is speaking is about a righteous walk through obedience that leads to Yeshua who is the end of the law for righteousness, another way of putting it, the law allows one to walk a righteous walk, but one is made God's righteousness in Christ on the cross.

Yes we are all spiritually resting in Christ but I don't see why we must spit on His physical Sabbath in order to do that? God gifted us the Sabbath so that we can rest.
You can tell yourself that you are "in Christ's rest" all you want but if you don't get tired and need a day of rest you are lying or not human.
The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. God set it apart and made it Holy and it has been a covenant between God and His people since Eden... I don't see a way around this. It just sounds like rebellion to me. And I am guilty of not always honoring it how I should!! I am trying to walk out my own faith with fear and trembling and just rely on God's grace and mercy for where I fall short, without using his grace and an excuse to just live however I want.
Thank you dearly for explaining how Christ is our rest in God! In accordance with this word and hebrews 3:18-19, john 1:12, hebrews 4:3-4, hebrews 4:8-10, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 I bind myself, but also my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents and the body of Christ to rest in Jesus Christ, while binding to hell being unequally yoked and having any common share with those who will not enter God his rest in Jesus Christ, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah ❤!
Please don't bind them to anything, They are blinded and need release. Pray for release
People have complicated Christianity. This is the Gospel Message: Jesus Christ conquered sin and death and then He sent the Holy Spirit on Day 50, Pentecost. The Ten Commandments were also given on Pentecost. They simply mean Love. Love God and love your neighbor. With the Holy Spirit in us we can keep the Ten Commandments, which again are summed as love, as Jesus told us in Matthew 22:37-40. He was quoting Deuteronomy 6. What precedes Deuteronomy 6? Deuteronomy 5, which is the Ten Commandments. Every human created has the Ten within them by Design. The Ten were written on Stone, beautiful Sapphire Stone, by the Finger of God Himself. The 600 were written on paper by Moses via God. The Ten Commandments are in the Ark of the Covenant right now in Heaven per Revelation 11:19.
as Christ come at 2nd time, heavens will reveal the ark of the covenant with the ten commandments as the basis of you trully love God or not..
so it is a must that we obey God.

““If you do turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure
on My set-apart day,
and shall call the Sabbath ‘a delight,’ the set-apart day of יהוה ‘esteemed,’ and shall esteem it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words, then you shall delight yourself in יהוה.
And I shall cause you to ride on the heights of the earth, and feed you with the inheritance of Ya‛aqoḇ your father. For the mouth of יהוה has spoken!””

It’s about Rest before Mt.Sinai and it’s about rest after.
“For thus said יהוה, “See, I am extending peace to her like a river, and the esteem of the nations like a flowing stream.
And you shall feed; you shall be carried on the side, and be fondled on her knees. “And I, because of their works and their imaginations, am coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My esteem.
“For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make stand before Me,” declares יהוה, “so your seed and your name shall stand.
“And it shall be that from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares יהוה.
“And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm shall not die, and their fire not be quenched. And they shall be repulsive to all flesh!””
Yeshayah (Isaiah) 66:12, 18, 22-24
Thank you again for a beautiful, clear exposition on the sabbath. My soul is finally at rest I’m not stressing about sabbath rest, as I have it in Jesus. We just need to be careful in not insisting on our freedoms in Christ if it makes our brother to fall and so I would certainly observe sabbath if was in Israel for instance.
There is no Sabbath. Shabbat was abrogated when Jesus established a new and better covenant based upon the promises made to Abraham. Jesus necessarily established a new and better law that does not include Shabbat.
I insist on my freedom and stand on what Paul said in Colossians 2. Because a legal writ of debt was nailed to the cross at Calvary, and I have been forgiven and my sins have been forgotten, I never ever allow a mongrel dog - evil doer and mutilator of the flesh to judge me in regard to what’s for lunch, what I drink, a festival, a new moon, or fantasy Shabbat. If a human is offended because I refuse to play wannabe Jew games with them, that’s their problem.
I would say please read James 2: 18-26 in regards to faith only or is it faith and works. I think when you read these verses, you have a great balance. Also, if you read Jesus parable of talents in the Gospel. Also, Revelation 20:12. Ultimately, if you love Christ and you are filled with the Holy Spirit, it is not works, but a labor of love.
I agree, Eric. Those aren't "works" that earn us salvation, but rather outward expressions that come _after_ we are saved. They reveal our love for the Lord and our believing loyalty to Him. So, as James said, if we claim to have faith but our lives show no evidence of it, our faith is dead.
@@TheBiblicalRoots I agree with you. Thanks for all you do. Shalom.

Very helpful teaching!!
Don’t forget that God Himself wrote the Ten Commandments in Stone with His Own Finger. All Ten are relevant to include the 4th Commandment, which in the Sabbath Commandment. The Sabbath Commandment is very neglected in today’s church. “Everyday is a Sabbath now!!! As we watch are multiple daily tv shows, idolize our sports hero’s, work our jobs…..nonsense. If we can’t dedicate one Day a week to Jesus Christ our Sabbath Rest how do we think we will make it in Heaven dedicating 7 Days a week?
You can't earn your way into heaven.
@@Seepferdchen91 The Ten Commandments don’t save us, but when we are saved we will love. The Ten Commandments are simply a Love Outline from God Himself.
@@Seepferdchen91 The Sabbath Commandment is the Gospel Message. In Exodus 16, twice the Manna from Heaven was provided on the 6th day so the people of God could have their Sabbath Rest. Fast forward to John 6, Jesus calls Himself the Manna from Heaven and the Bread of Life. Jesus Christ, the Manna from Heaven, was Crucified on the 6th day, Good Friday, so the people of God could have now and Eternal Sabbath Rest. That’s WHY you can’t “work” on the Sabbath, it means you can’t work your own way to Heaven, it’s His Way only.

For if Yehoshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.
So there remains a Sabbath-keeping for the people of Elohim.
For the one, having entered into His rest, has himself also rested from his works, as Elohim rested from His own.
Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
For the Word of Elohim is living, and working, and sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through even to the dividing of being and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all are naked and laid bare before the eyes of Him with whom is our account.
Therefore, since we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, יהושע the Son of Elohim, let us hold fast our confession.
For we do not have a High Priest unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who was tried in all respects as we are, apart from sin.
Therefore, let us come boldly to the throne of favour, in order to receive compassion, and find favour for timely help.”
Hebrews 4:6, 8-16
This Rest that “remains” we have not received it! We only receive it when we enter the land with our King and he takes away pain and wipes every tear away and we have ceased from working the daily grind to provide for our families cause he’s now our provider.
To enter that rest it says we cannot be disobedient to Gods commandments like in this case Sabbath-keeping.
Because the word which tells us to keep the 7th day Sabbath...which word did they have at the time this is written? The TaNaK! There’s no wiggling out of that one no matter what Guthrie says.

@C E it’s a matter of obedience. God say it so it must be done. It was made for man to rest. It has nothing to do with being Jewish but everything to do with walking in the Way that God determined and Christ exampled for us.
Thank you very mach for the wonderful teaching about the rest. But, What about Matthew 24 20 it says pray that your flight may not be in winter on in the sabbath?
Hello, Negatwa. Matt 24:20 tells us that Jesus expected that His Jewish followers would continue to keep the Mosaic seventh-day Sabbath. Which makes sense, since it was never prohibited or forbidden.
Blessings, Rob
I would love to have a dialogue with you! I'm a preacher of a pro-Torah Christian Church. I'm down for a formal debate or discussion over email. I think one of the largest issues is a misunderstanding of the term "under the law." Let's talk about it!
What law professor , law of gravity , law of justice?
Wow, your videos are so helpful thank you.
There is no rest or peace without Christ as your Lord, God, and Savior. Christ has become our Passover and our rest. Please see 1st Corinthians 5: 6-7 and Hebrews Chapt 4.
Thanks so much!!! Clarified!! A job well done!!! ❤
We show God we love Him by keeping His commandments. This is throughout the entirety of scripture. He spent 40 years teaching the importance of keeping the Sabbath to the Israelites with manna in the desert. The 4th commandment hasn't changed and never will. It's truly a blessing.
Amen
@M. H. If the Sabbath is such a blessing how come God never mentioned it for 2500 years? He never mentioned it once to Adam, Eve, Abel, Seth, Noah, Enoch, Nahor, Terah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Reuben, Gad, Dan, Naphtali, Asher, Levi, Simeon, Joseph, Benjamin, Rebekah, Rachel, Esau, Ishmael, Ephraim, or Manneseh. From Genesis 3 to Exodus 11 no one kept the Sabbath or even knew about it???
@@theextreme7134Just so I'm hearing you right... you're saying the sabbath commandment didn't even exist before Sinai? Wow
@@sickmsmokey That's what I'm saying. Prove it isn't true from scripture.
@@theextreme7134 Exodus 16 happens before Exodus 20. Also there is Genesis 26:5 where it states Abraham kept my statutes, commandments, laws etc. Should the text list every commandment he kept? Ultimately you should always follow Jesus's example. He kept the Sabbath and so should you if you believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The 1st commandment love the lord your God with all your heart and all your mind.
It could mean that the "rest" Jesus talks about is salvation, or heaven, and not sabbath
Edit: I finished it. So the promised land is linked to God's rest on the seventh day, which is the sabbath. And the generation of Israelites did not enter the promised land is because they did not believe. So in order to enter the rest or sabbath(tell me if I'm wrong), we have to believe. But if the rest was not inactivity but completion, why did the Jews do the weekly Sabbath
Edit 2: Maybe if there are two meanings regarding rest. It could both mean salvation and sabbath. Tell me if I'm wrong. I would love to hear your response.
Shalom
The reason they didn’t make it to the promised land was because they failed to act when God told them to act not because they failed to “believe “ or had a lack of faith. The Law from God never commanded faith or belief. You could fairly infer a lack of faith and or belief but IF that was the sole reason God wouldn’t have waited until they failed to act to judge them.
@@tactup23 Actions speak louder than words. Believing in something and acting in Faith, it's all intertwined. That's why it says Faith without Works is dead. Not that we earn salvation, but if we truly Believe, then our actions and words will show it. Out of the mouth cones the abundance of the heart. By our love and our deeds, we are true witnesses for Christ.
Faith CAN be intertwined with an act of obedience. This I agree with. However, obedience without faith is still obedience.
Paul doesn’t speak for God but instead he speaks as a believer in God. Paul’s opinion that any act of obedience performed without “faith” lacks critical thinking skills. The most glaring omission is his definition of faith in this immediate context. Is faith something that can be measured? Is a little faith the equivalent of a lot of faith? Is it faith in Jesus alone? His death? His resurrection? His kingship? His triune relationship? If one or some of these things are not believed than is their faith even faith at all? For example, What if one person obeys the Law of God because he has faith that God will punish him if he doesn’t? Is that good enough? What if person at my Sinai obeyed because he had faith in his leader Moses? Still yet another person may obey motivated by his denominational faith in Jesus? Yet another may choose to obey the Law because he has faith in the Law itself, regardless of the author. In other words he believes that the alternative legal systems in the world are inferior and lack sustainability for future generations. There is an endless stream of reasons a person may have “faith”. None of them can be measured or judged to be greater than the other because all are true and all are relevant. What matters is that they all ultimately obey the same law regardless of their faithful motivations.
Finally I must reiterate that the Torah given by God does not command faith from those who adhere to it’s instructions. It only commands obedience to one set of people. That group of people, regardless of their faith, believed in God and followed Him into the desert. they were given a legal system to adhere to. Therefore a just God will not Judge for the lack of faith regardless of its potential benefits, because he never commanded it.
@@tactup23 Hebrews 11:1 and 11:3
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
By Faith we understand that the world's were prepared by the Word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.
I think it's belief and Faith which are intertwined. Obedience is just a natural occurrence, or a by-product of believing and having Fairh.
Blessed are they who believe, though they have not yet seen.
@@gaylechristensen6285 The point isn’t what does Paul think but instead what did God say. God never command faith or belief from anyone. He did clearly command obedience from everyone. There is no punishment for failure to believe or lack of faith. There is however, clearly defined punishments for disobedience. Therefore it seems that the act of obedience is not conditional upon why you obey according to God.
I’m not arguing whether or not faith is important for our growth and understanding as humans. Only that it wasn’t required by God for life and death.
13:29 - it was never solely about ancestry or ethnicity. ANYONE who chose to follow the God of Israel, was included in the people of Israel
The belief that the Sabbath is no longer.........comes from 18th century American evangelicalism. The Reformed teaching found in the Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession, Synod of Dort, and the Westminster Standards is that the 6 days of work and then 1 day of rest ( Sabbath rooted in creation ) becomes a 1 in 6 pattern Sabbath after the resurrection of Christ.

Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek, and he was well spoken of by the brethren who were in Lystra and Iconium. Paul wanted this man to go with him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage. But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you. But from those who were of high reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)-well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me. But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised

The letter to the Hebrews will help. Read it 30x's over. Then research all you can about what it is referencing. It is a very deep letter not to simple be glanced over.
But yes for short attention spans I'll give you the super short summary:
*Jesus is superior, everything is inferior*
Angels, prophets, people of faith, miracles, a day, days, moments, law, sabbath, things that even saved (but only for the moment), mana from heaven, sacrifices of all other things for sin. Things seen and unseen.
All of these things, yes good in there limited features and roles are worthless in light of what has come: God in flesh, the Messiah, Word made flesh. Yahweh fully revealed among man.
The value of these words cannot be understand: "God and Savior Jesus Christ" "Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ" -Peter
If your hope is in anything else, you are lost entirely missing the *one* that is superior and clinging to the inferior, which cannot and never has saved.
Oh one more thing when Jesus said come unto me and I'll give you rest he was not talking about the sabbath, he was talking about the cares and worries of life, you could keep the sabbath and still have a burden and a heavy laden, Jesus never do away with the sabbath, if it was not so he would have told you

I’m looking forward to it!
I'd advice watching Jim Staley's Sabbath sermon. It's roughly 90 minutes and might be split into 3 parts. We are to walk like Christ. Be like him more and more every day. He kept sabbath. The 7th day is set apart (holy) and hallowed. If you're interpretation of Jesus's words are correct, his disciples should have immediately ignored the sabbath from that moment and declared jesus as the holy rest. But that's not what happened. Jesus would have rebuked them or they all would have been prosecuted. Jesus's doctrine wasn't his own but his father's. The law won't change until heaven and earth pass away. Jesus said to listen to and obey the pharisees when they speak on the seat of moses (reading scripture/torah) and not do as they do. The weekly sabbath was kept by Moses, the prophets, Jesus, Paul, the disciples, so I think we should too. Especially if it's In the 10 commandment. Using theological gymnastics like this with sabbath and food laws will never appeal to an honest atheist because the theology isn't consistent. You can't tell a gay person that his sin is a problem because of the bible and then contradict the bible yourself. They laugh at Christians who do this. . I don't blame them.
Thanks, Alex! Actually, there is no reason for Jewish followers of Jesus (then or now) to stop keeping the weekly Shabbat. It was never forbidden. And as part of their cultural DNA, Jewish believers are free in Christ to keep it if they choose. But it is no longer a legal requirement for God's People. And BTW Gentiles, who have never been under the Sinai covenant, were never expected to keep Shabbat, eat kosher, be circumcised, etc. because the Law of Moses was only given to Israel (Ex 19:1-6).
Shalom,
Rob

@@sickmsmokey Hi , MH! So that verse says “There shall be one standard for you; it shall be for the stranger as well as the native, for I am the Lord your God” (Lev 24:22). In context, the “standard” Yahweh is speaking of here is not the entirety of the Mosaic Law but rather the standard of punishment for murder. “Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death” (Lev 24:17). That is the law that applies both to the Israelites and the foreigners among them.

Great expository way to properly teach on the Sabbath in Christ
kicking against the goads... won't comment further on your videos, Brother, but you seem to misunderstand "belief" and "faith" as somehow separate from behavior/faithfulness (which is a very Western concept and not the Biblical view--which James addressed very pointedly). You also are still ignoring the fact that Jesus spent MORE time addressing a correct view of the Sabbath than He did any of the other nine commandments (which are more self-evident), all of which art still part of our covenant faithfulness to Him ("If you love Me, you will keep My commandments). This is not to say that in Christ we are bound to ANY of the rabbinical restrictions which were ADDED to God's instruction to guard the Sabbath, but we are very much commanded to "keep" it until it is fulfilled in the Millennium (mostly), in the Land under Christ's rule, then for Eternity--our final rest. "Not one stroke of the Law shall be removed until ALL is fulfilled." (what HAS been fulfilled is no longer required--like the sacrificial system and eating "kosher," etc.) I have tried to reason with you from the Scriptures, and have gently warned that you are fighting against what the Spirit is doing in this Hour. I beg you to stop teaching on this until you have gained greater revelation. grace and peace
Thank you, Suzan. I very much respect your thoughtful responses and corrections. I am compelled to go where Scripture leads me, and so far it has not led to agreement with you on the topic of Shabbat.
Jesus indeed spoke out against the man-made corruptions to the Shabbat as God gave it in the Torah. But neither He nor any other NT author ever teaches, repeats, or even hints at the Mosaic regulations. In the NT we are not reminded or taught to remember the Sabbath, keep it holy, do no work, carry no load, etc. Yet we _are_ taught that we shall not murder, shall not commit adultery, shall not steal, honor your mother and your father, and so on. In other words, the commandments Jesus told us to keep if we love Him (John 14:15) did not include Shabbat.
In addition, we are told not to let anyone judge us based on whether we keep the Sabbath (Col 2:16-17). And more generally that "One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind" (Rom 14:5). Paul is teaching that among those spiritual behaviors that we do for the Lord, all are acceptable to God and therefore should be acceptable to each other.
There is freedom in Christ in how we express our faith and our love for God. Any Christ-follower is free to keep Shabbat, but none are _required_ to do so. That said, I believe every Christ-follower would be wise to set aside a day each week to rest in the Lord. It is a gift from God that reminds us that we can trust Him for provision and that our true rest is in Jesus.
Shalom,
Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots You say you have to go where Scripture leads, yet your refuse to see it for what it says, Brother :/ In Col 2, Paul is directly addressing the push of the "judaizers" who were still stuck on the Old Covenant and their own traditions (including adding all sorts of rules regarding the Sabbath, which Jesus spent so much time correcting), but Paul is in NO way refuting the Ten Commandments as still the foundation for the NC (as a framework for the 2); and Rom. 14 is not at all regarding Shabbat. Although I very much appreciate you trying to keep many from going down the "torah-observant path" which has hijacked a significant sector of the "church" today, you are throwing the proverbial baby out with the bathwater, and leading people away from the commandments of God that are still foundational for Covenant today. "If you love Me, you will obey My Commandments." Well, we have gone over this ground, so, again, I will leave it here. I pray you will listen to "Elijah" when he is sent. shalom
@@suzanholland Thanks, Suzan. I hear what you're saying. But I don't think it's so much that I refuse to see Scripture for what it says, but rather that it simply doesn't say what you think it says. If there were any passages anywhere in the NT where anyone teaches anyone else to remember the Sabbath, or keep it holy, or to do no work, it would certainly change things. But I have not been able to find anything of the sort. And it appears you haven't, either. I pray you will open yourself to the possibility that you may have misunderstood or misread something into this topic.
Jesus' teaching against the Pharisee's man-made additions to the Sabbath does not constitute a re-teaching of the Mosaic Sabbath regulations. Nor does it imply that the weekly Shabbat was required (or even expected) of Christians, especially Gentile Christians who were never expected to keep Shabbat. And as I pointed out Col 2:16-17 and Rom 14 have something relevant to say on this topic. As does Hebrews, as I looked at in this video. As does Acts 15, where the instructions given to the new Gentile believers did not include Shabbat.
Your brother in Christ,
Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots We've covered this ground Rob. Scripture teaches that what has not been fulfilled still stands. The NC is based on the same 10 commandments, restated in the NC context. (and you misunderstand the decision made in Acts 15.) Nowhere was Shabbat ever "done away with," (and it was established in the Creation and will remain until this Earth passes away), and Jesus DID spend a SIGNIFICANT amount of time correcting their view of it. May He soon correct us all! shalom
Suzan, 2 Corinthians 3 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 3 forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; 6 who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 8 how shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 13 and not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14 but their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
how can the jews keep the sabbath for generations to come as the bible says if it was nailed to the cross ?
@AnimalsThebigfive.7527 that's my point. Either it was nailed to the cross or it is tobe kept for ever from generation to generation. Which one is it ?
@AnimalsThebigfive.7527 I agree with u. What I'm saying is that people contradict themselves by saying that the Sabbath was nailed to the cross then turn it around and say for Jews only forever. So now I ask them well then which one is it you can't have it both ways. This is one way of trapping them in their lies
Can we designate , put aside a day of rest , to rest in the lord on any day , or does it have to fall on the 7th day to count . Asking for a friend
Hi Martha. As I read the NT, we are free to set aside a day of rest for God on any day of the week. "One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord." (Rom. 14:5-6, see also Col. 2:16-17).

We are saved by grace through faith not by the law, """"BUT"""" there is some things one can do like follow God's commands!
Christians miss out on many blessings when they don't do anything!
Take the sabbath for instance....
Isaiah 56 tells us about the blessings to those that keep God's sabbath(s)!
First you'll be remembered by God!
Also you'll have a name better than a son or daughter.
He tells the foreigners and eunuchs that even THEY will be blessed for keeping them!
Now the sons & daughters are faithful Israel!
Yes there is some of Israel who were faithful!
The foreigners are the ( Christians) & they will be given a name better than faithful Israel, ""IF"" they take delight in Gods sabbaths (Isaiah 58:13)!
The blessings are there for anyone who wishes to follow Gods instructions!
Yet we have many who would rather follow mans instructions instead.
Here's the thing .... Israel tried it their way many times and they were disciplined by God.
Somehow todays Christians think they're going to do the same as Israel but this time with different results!
That somehow God will accept disobedience from them because they're """CHRISTIANS"""!
A rude awaking is waiting for all that think they can be disobedient to God and that God will grant them salvation, when He wouldn't grant it to the Israelites that were disobedient!
@@qw2ps4 One in seven day rest is optional. It is written somewhere,
Therefore let no one gpass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
As Christians we are free to rest and free to work. We are under no binding law save for the law to find our rest, our true Sabbath in Christ alone. Sin is commited if you pass judgement on anyone for obtaining or partaking.
Why is jesus still keeping the law and prophets after he rose on 3rd day?
I’m curious. Mr. Solberg is Genesis creation story literal as written? Literal 6 days as we know a day? The 7th day Gemini’s 2:2 He separated the 7th day as Holy…. Are you a Thiestic Evolution believer, many Christian’s are.

I'll ask you. When was the sun, moon and stars ,made??? 4th day
And the plants?? 5th day
Now-tell me, how many plants can survive for very long without sunlight????
maybe a day ot two????
Early Church fathers were divided on this also.
W accept Christ through faith and nothing we do can earn us Salvation. We need God because we are sinful and need someone to be our substitute before God. That's why Christ came. The bible calls us to repent and to confess our sins in order to start and continue our walk with Christ. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. We no longer have to offer rams and bulls because Jesus came once and for all. However, how do we know we have sinned? The law (God's moral law) points out our sins - Idolatry, hypocrisy(taking the Lord's name in vain), murder (physically and mentally), envy, jealousy etc. Given that these are part of the decalogue, why can't we see that violating the Sabbath is part of that too?
I appreciate how you tied the Word together and beautifully showed how Christ is our Sabbath but there's no choice in the matter about the physical Sabbath. God was exact with the children of Israel and is exact with Christians because we are under grace. Grace does not cancel the moral law. God is the same yesterday and forever.
Well said, Milagro. We just need to remember that not everything God gave Israel under Moses is required of Christians today under Jesus. For example, as you pointed out, we no longer have to offer rams and bulls. And we no longer need a Levitical priesthood or a temple. These things were required of Israel under Moses but are not required of Christians under Jesus.
"Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ." (Col 2:16-17)
So food, drink, festivals, new Moons, and Sabbaths were shadows of things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. Moral laws apply to all people at all times. The weekly Shabbat does not. For example, Gentiles have never been expected to keep a weekly Shabbat. But they have always been expected not to murder, commit adultery, steal, and so on.
Shalom,
Rob
Hermanito Ish here!! CAn’t get enough!!
12:45 - it wasn't just the literal descendants of Abraham at the base of Mt. Sinai. (Exodus 12:38)
It is also about keeping the law! Jesus gave up his life to give us His spirit so that we could fulfill the law. We’re told over and over that grace isn’t so we can do what we want now but so we are able through the Spirit conquer our sin.
I'm surprised that Solberg left out such critical details that paint a very different picture from what the Bible fully teaches. I hope that anyone who watches this video in the future takes the time to read what I wrote here. Solberg left out SO MANY important details that must be considered by the honest follower of Christ.
1. First of all, Solberg says that Israelites were barred from the promised land solely because of their lack of faith, but what about Numbers 14:22? It clearly says that the people tested God these 10 times, so we know that it was 10 specific instances that made God so angry he wanted that generation to die in the wilderness (TEN... like the exact same number as the ten commandments). If you go back and research what actually happened 10 times to make God so angry, you'll discover that one of them, for example, was worshiping the Golden Calf. This breaks commandments 1 & 2. Another disobedient act is painfully obvious: disobeying the sabbath (Exodus 16:22-30)! How did you miss this fact Dr. Solberg?? Or did you leave this out of this teaching on purpose?
2. Second, yes there is a theme of future rest, but there is also a definitive, and deliberate, tie to the literal sabbath as well. Consider the message in Hebrews, "TODAY, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in rebellion." Let's consider who the Hebrews is writing this message to. He is clearly writing to the New Covenant Church (see Hebrews 3:1). The message is that the Church (i.e. the BELIEVERS in Jesus Christ) need to be careful not to harden their hearts as in rebellion! The fact that the author of Hebrews is warning BELIEVERS negates the possibility that Hebrews 3&4 are simply about faith/belief. There simply must be more to the message because the readers are already expected to be believers. What is the additional message? That BELIEVERS need to be careful about being DISOBEDIENT REBELS against God! Believers are rightfully expected to follow God's commands, and of course this includes the sabbath.
3. Third, Hebrews 3:18-19 specifically links unbelief (lack of faith) with DISOBEDIENCE. Why wasn't this mentioned in your teaching Solberg?
4. Fourth, the author of Hebrews defined the sabbath as the literal seventh day sabbath in Hebrews 4:4. Your navigation around the literal connection to the 7th day sabbath in Hebrews is a form of interpretive gymnastics of God's word.
5. The author of Hebrews clearly states that Jesus IS NOT our sabbath rest in Hebrews 4:8. Some translations say Joshua, others say Jesus, because it is the same name. Neither Joshua NOR JESUS has completely fulfilled our sabbath rest yet, because the future fulfillment of the millennial sabbath rest comes at a future day. To say that Jesus is our sabbath rest is a plain violation of Hebrews 4:8 as well as the entire future rest theme in this passage.
6. Trying to roll over Hebrews 4:9 "There remains therefore a rest (greek word: Sabbatismo) for the people of God" by using your unbiblically supported interpretation of the entire section is just bad exegesis. Just look at the following verse! Hebrews 4:10 "For he who has entered His rest has himself also CEASED FROM HIS WORKS as God did from His." This is a clear reference to Hebrews 4:4, which, again, identifies ceasing from works as resting on the literal, seventh day sabbath.
To anyone who takes the time to read this: ****THE SABBATH ABSOLUTELY IS REQUIRED FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD!**** Don't be deceived by this false teacher!
Solberg, after listening to your teaching I feel compelled to give you a warning. James 3:1 tells us to be careful not to become teachers, because teachers will receive a stricter judgment. You are at risk of judgment with this teaching and teachings similar to this sir. Please reconsider your misunderstanding of scripture and please repent of the fact you are pushing your views by deliberately omitting critical scriptural evidence. You will receive a stricter judgment for teachings like these.
Thank you!
Amen! We have freedom in Christ! I Just found this channel through Mike with on point preparedness, great video quality, great audio, and most importantly, great breakdown of the scriptures. Thoroughly enjoyed this video!

The Sabbath isn't bondage. It's freedom. Freedom from our labors.
Yes we are all spiritually resting in Christ but I don't see why we must spit on His physical Sabbath in order to do that? God gifted us the Sabbath so that we can rest.
You can tell yourself that you are "in Christ's rest" all you want but if you don't get tired and need a day of rest you are lying or not human.
The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. God set it apart and made it Holy and it has been a covenant between God and His people since Eden... I don't see a way around this. It just sounds like rebellion to me. And I am guilty of not always honoring it how I should!! I am trying to walk out my own faith with fear and trembling and just rely on God's grace and mercy for where I fall short, without using his grace and an excuse to just live however I want.
yep. I keep telling my girlfriend that she is free to get an abortion

@@TheBiblicalRoots yes thats when it began, in the garden. thats the institution of it--the stablished holy day of sabbath. simple. if god didnt want it in the decalogue he never would have put it in the first place. it would have just been nine or maybe some other command. the jewish shmita sabbath law was never part of the ten commandments because that was for the jews only. the seventh day sabbath was for all mand kind and that why is was put into the decalogue, otherwise it would have been left out to begin with if it was only for the jews like the shmita. god doesnt make mistakes. not a shadow because it was instituted before sin, so it couldnt have pointed forward to the cross. the word remember means to go back not forward
as a matter of fact the ten commands are the character of god . they existed before creation even before the devil . satan sinned first---he wanted tobe like the most high--covetousness . just because they wernt written on stone does not mean they didnt exist. they possibly could have been written back then but the bible doesnt mention it.
You're saying that the law no longer applies but what about the 10 commandments?
I am saying that, because of the work of Yeshua, the law applies in a different way under the New Covenant. This is why, for example, we no longer sacrifice animals or have a temple or a Levitical priesthood. Blessings, Rob

Hey brother, I am not a Torah keeper or into Hebrew Roots, but as far as not being saved by works, what do you do about Galatians 6 where it says we reap eternal life if we keep on doing good and keep sowing to the Spirit?
Hello AITW! That passage in Galatians 6 says, "Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life." (Gal. 6:7-8).
I don't read that as saying the way to achieve eternal life is by doing good. Rather, when read in the context of the larger idea that Paul began back in chapter 5, I see it as an agricultural metaphor encouraging the Galatians to live by the Spirit. Paul says we can't engage in works of the flesh (5:19) and expect to experience God’s life. And this isn't limited to life after death but begins in the present, as we are transformed by God’s Spirit (5:22-23).
At least that's my 2 cents! Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots thanks for the reply. Now, what happens if a Christian with the Spirit gives up sowing to the Spirit? Will that person still have eternal life according to that passage you quoted?
The Bible talks about salvation in 3 different tenses - past (we WERE saved), present (BEING saved), and future tense (we WILL BE saved). Paul says the condition for reaping eternal life is that we KEEP ON doing good (aka sowing to the Spirit), and in this way we will (future tense) reap eternal life. We have eternal life now and everyone agrees with that. But according to that passage what happens if we give up doing good (sowing to the Spirit)?
@@abideintheWordfirst, do you know what sowing to the spirit mean?

oh so God is lees holier than his son? Yeshua walked out of the tomb on the first day of the week doesnt make it holy
Good morning Mr. Solberg. I have a question maybe you can answer this one for me because I need help. I'm not skilled neither in Greek or Hebrew at all but I noticed that in John 15 Jesus commands us to abide in Him. I say this because I'm wondering, if that word were to be translated into Hebrew would it also mean "Nuahk" which means to dwell or to settle but also means to rest. And we can see that word used several times in the OT. Is that the word Jesus was using in John 15. I looked at the Greek which also means to dwell, remain... What do you think about that. This be a solid word as pointing Jesus being our Sabbath... I know that word there is in Greek. Just wondering if this was the proper meaning if we were to translate it from greek to Hebrew. Merry Christmas brother👍
Hi Dan. Translating the Greek word μένω (menō) into Hebrew would be interesting, but it wouldn't necessarily capture the intention of the biblical author in that passage. That said, the idea of abide (stay, dwell, remain) seems congruous with the idea of rest. And, in fact, the word μένω is translated "rest" in John 1:
"And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and he rested (menō) on him. 33 I didn’t know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The one you see the Spirit descending and resting (menō) on-he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’" John 1:32-33 (CSB) Some translations use the word "remain" or "stay" in this passage.
I don't know if this is enough of a connection to build a case for Jesus as the Sabbath. Maybe there's something there, it is an interesting observation. You might consult Hebrew translations of the New Testament to see which Hebrew word those translators choose. And/or you could try a search of the Septuagint and see how it uses the word μένω.
Shalom, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Yes thank you so much and for John 1. I'll definitely keep looking. it is interesting because I also found that word Yashab is the Hebrew word for abide and seems it's mentioned several times in the OT for resting but I could be wrong... And that same word is also applied in John 15 as meno. I'll keep looking more into it. Hebrews 4 lays the foundation that in Him we have that rest. I appreciate your help thanks 👍 and happy new years
I apologize for the length, but this topic is a topic that causes one to write, not to impress.
The law of God needs to be put in its right perspective and it has nothing to do with making one God's righteousness. The word of God is clear that we are made God righteousness in Yeshua through his atonement on the cross apart from the law, but that is only if we accept the atonement. In addition, it is his righteousness that allows one to enter the kingdom of God. Yeshua said, if our righteousness does not exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees we cannot enter the kingdom of God, which is why he became a sin sacrifice, so that we may be made God's righteousness in him.
Does the above mean that the law of God is done away with, I am talking about the Decalogue? The law of God was not made for the righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, but who are the lawless and disobedient? The Epistle of Paul to Timothy gives us a description of the lawless and disobedient, and it is clear from the Epistles to the Galatians and Romans that the law of God leads to Christ who is the end of the law for righteousness, not to mention that Christ came to redeem those under the law. Those under the law at one time were lawless and disobedient, which shows the important of the laws in one's life. A teacher of the law asked Yeshua, what must I do to inherit eternal life? Yeshua asked him two question, what is written in the law" How readest thou? The teacher of the law understood the importance of the law and read them with two commandments. Yeshua responded, do this and thou shall live. Obedience to the law of God giveth life on earth, example, honor thy mother and father and though shall live. The argument was not about the Decalogue, it was about circumcision and corrupted views. They sought the law, but not by faith, which shows how important is God's law, they are holy, good and perfect.
Jeremiah was clear about the law of God, and if you construe the chapter carefully you will understand what made the law of God new; God made the covenant with two houses, not like the one he made with their fathers (not houses) which were on tablets of stones. What made it new was that he stored and written them within and made that covenant with two hourses, and it is clear from the Epistles to the Romans, if we walk after the Spirit, the Spirit of God will fulfill the righteousness of the law, including the Sabbath.
Your statement appears that you believe the Sabbath is done away with, but one day it will be restored and if that is what you are saying, you are distorting God's word through your interpretation. God was cleared when he first spoke. Yeshua understood the Sabbath which is why he said he is the Lord of the Sabbath, because Exodus tells us that the Sabbath is of the LORD and we can see it through Yeshua that the Sabbath is of the law, it was on the Sabbath that God through Yeshua was performing his wondrous work.
Back to the entire Decalogue, if you believe they are done away with then you are leaning to your own understanding. Christ came to fulfill all that was spoken of him, to remove the law and I am referring to the Decalogue.
True, it did not say we who kept the commandments, but it is clear from verse 4 that he was talking about the seventh day, not the commandments, in other words, you are distorted the true teaching of this passage. Continue reading, if they shall enter into my rest, what rest? The Sabbath rest, the seventh day, the sabbath was made for man, for what? For man to rest.
Let me make this clear, the Decalogue hast nothing to do with salvation, but when one is obedient to God's commandment one is walking a righteous work before God and one can safely state that is a proof that one is made God's righteousness in Yeshua apart from the law.
Thank you, Sam! That's a good word. I see a distinction between the unchanging, eternal Law of God which has existed since the beginning and the Law of Moses which was given at Mount Sinai around 1,500 BCE. The Law of Moses was one expression of the eternal principles found in the Law of God. It was "holy and righteous and good" (Rom 7:12). But it was not the first state of things, and it was never intended to be the final state of things.
For example, the specific regulations required under the Law of Moses regarding atonement for sin have changed. God's people have gone from repeated animal sacrifices at the temple under the Mosaic Covenant, to Christ's sacrifice "once for all" (Heb 10:10) under the New Covenant. Blood still atones for sin; that is an unchanging, eternal principle in the Law of God. However, the way that principle is expressed has changed. Under the New Covenant, we still have a sacrifice, but it is expressed through the blood of Christ's eternal sacrifice.
In the same way, I believe the universal principle behind Shabbat has not changed. But it seems to me the specific Shabbat regulations required under the Law of Moses have. In other words, we still _Sabbath_ today, but we do it differently under the New Covenant.
Shalom,
Rob
Rob, the law of God had nothing to do with salvation, it had to do with obedience, and being obedience to God law allow one to walk a right before God, not that it may one God's righteousness, we are made God's righteousness in Yeshua. Example of this walk was Zacharias and Elisabeth as stated in Luke, they both were righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. Abraham himself, obeyed God's voice, and kept God's charge, commandments, statutes and law (Genesis 2:5). What commandments and law? It appears before he put the commandment on tablets of stones he gave them verbally, Zipporah know about circumcision. Since men have forgotten the law of God and his commandments he put them on tablets of stone, but the old covenant as previously stated was made with the fathers, what made the old covenant new was that God made it with the two houses, but this time within.
Yeshua fulfilled many things and when before quoted Matthews 5:17, if you read the previously chapter one can understand why he made that statement, many things he had already fulfilled.
I am talking about ten commandment and the Apostle Paul is clear in Romans 8:9 when he said that the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So, if the carnal mind cannot then who can? Correct, the believers. Jeremiah 31 is clear about the new covenant and the Epistle of Hebrews 10 confirms Jeremiah's passage. I state this in a respectful manner, you need to study Romans 8, then you will understand that the law of God is to be place in its right perspective and cannot be ignore. Again, I am talking about the Decalogue, and you cannot remove one, you either accept it or not.
You need to understand that the Sabbath was instituted by God, he was the one that gave the law, the phrase "the law of Moses" is blinding many which is why christian brethren say they are done away with. My question to you, who gave the law, God or Moses, if you say Moses then God did not give the law, if you say God, then one has to be obedient to the law of God.
Let me make this clear, many of the ordinances or instructions God gave Christ had fulfilled, like the sacrifice, Yeshua did it once and for all. Another thing, you did not respond to things that I mentioned, like the teacher of the law.
Let me make this clear, I am not trying to nail you, I put it on the table it is up to the person to weight it and construe it truthfully, the Spirit of God is the one that enlightened our understanding with the truth of God's word, what God made clear when he first spoke. I will say this, it appears to me that the hebrew roots movement is a sect and all they talk is temple, I do not hear them talking about a walk with God in Christ.
So if they were disobedient, what were they disobedient to??
ok, in what way and how were they disobedient??
15:30,
1. Resting on the 7th Day.
2. Resting in the Promised Land (important geographic location).
3. Resting in Yahuwshua HaMashiach.
22:45, You will be held accountable for these teachings so I really hope YHWH, not the enemy, has written this on your heart.
Hi there,
I was following your argument for a while, and I think you’ve conceptualized the issue relatively well, but I find that the conclusion you come to is false. I’ve studied the sabbath for years now and continue to come to the same conclusion: that the Sabbath commandment is still a requirement for Christians today. But I am always open to learning more, and if I’m wrong, I’d like someone to clearly show me how. I don’t know if you’ll see or respond to this, but if you do, I’d like to make the following points and hear how you would counter them:
(1) If the Promised Land (a physical place) was equated with God’s Sabbath rest (and I agree that it is), then why do you describe the New Covenant Sabbath rest as a spiritual rather than physical rest? In other words, the rest we are to enter into as explained in Hebrews 4 cannot be a spiritual rest but a physical rest, as demonstrated by the use of the Greek words sabbatismos and katapausis, both of which, in this context, refer to a physical resting place, i.e. the heavenly rest all believers will attain when Christ comes again. I don’t know of any scripture that describes the Sabbath rest as a spiritual, peace-like rest.
(2) Matthew 11:28-29 doesn’t say Jesus IS our Sabbath rest (it doesn’t mention the Sabbath at all, in fact), it says Jesus will GIVE us rest (from the Greek anapausis, which means a cessation of labor or recreational rest), nor do any scriptures say that Jesus is our Promised Land. Instead, Hebrews 4 uses the words katapausis and sabbatismos to demonstrate that the rest believers will enter into (through believing in Jesus) is the rest to come in the New Heaven and New Earth. How could this rest be fully achieved, and how could we rest from our works as God did from his, if this rest is not a physical place as Eden was, as Canaan was, and as the New Heaven and Earth will be? Would not a more consistent argument be that the Sabbath Rest in Eden compared to the Sabbath Rest in Canaan would be compared not to a spiritual rest on earth but to the physical rest of the New Heaven and the New Earth?
(3) Where does the assumption that every law must be repeated in the New Testament in order to be valid originate from? The New Covenant is about a better promise, in which God did not create a new law but put His law in our minds and wrote them on our hearts (Hebrews 8:6-10). Even so, Jesus validates the Sabbath in Matthew 12:1-13 and Mark 2:23-28 (and notice how in neither of these passages does he refer to himself as the Sabbath but instead says he is Lord OF the Sabbath), the Sabbath was penned into the book of Acts (I don't quite understand why, if the Sabbath day is done away with and the apostles knew this, the author of Acts didn't write "seventh day" instead of "the Sabbath" when referring to the seventh day of the week, as in Acts 13:44, for instance.), the apostles met with Gentiles on the Sabbath, and Hebrews 4 demonstrates that the seventh day Sabbath represents the heavenly reward for all those who believe. So even if the assumption was true, that every law has to be repeated verbatim in the New Testament in order to be valid, the Sabbath commandment would be valid given the New Testament scriptures that support it.
(4) No observance of the law grants us access to God’s heavenly rest, including the Sabbath commandment, because we are, as you explained, saved by faith. However, our faith must be demonstrated through our works (i.e. through our law-keeping), because “faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone” (James 2:17; also see Romans 6:1-2, which explains that being under grace does not permit sin, i.e. law-breaking). So of course keeping the seventh day Sabbath as the law commands will not save us, but doing so does demonstrate our faith, which will save us by God’s grace.
(5) So the question is not “Are we saved by keeping the Sabbath?,” because the answer to that is a resounding “No!” The real question is, “Does the New Testament do away with seventh-day Sabbath-keeping?,” and the more I study this topic, the more I find that it does not: The Sabbath commandment still stands, not because it will save us, but because it demonstrates our faith and commitment to God and His righteous standard in the same way that the other laws that we likely agree on (e.g. not stealing, not committing adultery, honoring parents, etc.) do.
Hopefully that all made sense. I’d appreciate any comments on this. God bless you!
When reading throughout the NT, all those who will not inherit the kingdom of God, I haven't seen mentioned those who do not keep the Sabbath. I'm not trying to overthrow the faith of anyone, but that's my observation. If there's a reason for that, I'm all ears.
That's a valid observation, Charles.
Blessings! RLS
Amen. Thank you for the reply.
what about isaiah 66:23?
Do you have any teachings against homosexuality in Israel?
I don't have anything specific to Israel, Shemar. But, of course, God's sexual ethics apply to all people and nations, not just Israel. I have written some related articles:

Live this!
@23:10 You quoted Jesus saying, "Take My yoke upon you and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). But then you added to that "I will give you Shabbat"... attempting to replace the word "rest" with "shabbat/sabbath". Why did you imply this as an identical word when the Greek word is different than Sabbath (sabbaton)? The Greek word here for "rest" is actually anapauo (G373 in the Strong's), and this word is NEVER used in scripture as a word for Sabbath.
Hi Anthony. I didn't mean to imply an identical word, but rather an identical concept. I probably should've been more clear about that. I was referring to the Hebrew verb for rest or ceasing, שׁבת, not the commanded day of rest (noun) שַׁבָּת.
Blessings, Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots It is not an identical concept. This would have been a more appropriate Hebrew word if you had to bring us into Hebrew for some unknown reason: mānôaḥ (מָנוֹחַ) noun, or nûaḥ (נוּחַ) verb
Actively practicing the efficiency of Jesus/the gospel for a 24 hour period with your family. People always forget about the part of the commandment that says "everyone in your house even down to the dog". This is extremely beneficial. Again Jesus is the sabbath. So to say the sabbath isn't necessary is to say Jesus isn't necessary.... agreeing with the idea that honoring the sabbath doesn't get you to hevan, but those who are headed to heaven have the sabbath. So make sure you aim attend to nothing but God on the sabbath while involving everyone you can. Don't try to make people, even your kids attend to God, encourage and give them an environment without distractions and tell them God is the only one that will give you the desire to place all of your hart and mind aka "attention" on him, let alone the ability to act on said desire. Again not about the actions but that doesn't mean what you do doesn't matter or have consequences, like your children going to Hell because they don't know what it means to worship God.... so yes you don't have to, but maybe it's not about you.... but YOUR FAMILY..... otherwise God will have to save them from a lot of easily avoidable pain and suffering. Don't do that to your kids... please.
The sabbath is a shadow and Jesus is the real deal.
Thank you for the work you're putting into this channel. I will watch them as fast as you pump them out 😂
Merry Christmas! ✌🏼
Thanks, Jesse! Merry Christmas!
Satan has his claws in you
@@qw2ps4 Satan would love to pluck each of us out of our Father's will. I once worked with a disillusioned member of the HRM, so I very much so enjoyed Dr. Solberg's expositions of scripture. Do you care to elaborate as to why you felt the need to say this?
We must not confuse the Ten Commandments with the 600 Laws. They are completely different. The Ten are summed up as loving God and loving our neighbor. We love because of the Holy Spirit in us Who was given on Pentecost. The Ten were also given on Pentecost. If we can’t dedicate one Day a week to Jesus Christ Who is our Sabbath Rest, how will we survive in Heaven dedicating 7 days a week to Him?
so because hebrews says we enter christs rest, that somehow abolished the 4th commandments? that doenst make sense. seems like your reading something that isnt there, or making things up to fit your narrative.
An allegory does not negate the substance
And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day and made it Holy.
"it" is Christ, who is Holy. Thanks be to God.
If you find Sabbath rest apart from Christ you are in grave danger of placing your hope and faith in that which God did not direct as he said of those who spoke as so, "I swore they would not enter my rest." Its a grave warning.

14:15 - the definition for God's family never changed. It was always about faith.(Hebrews 11) Anyone who believes is grafted into the people of Israel. And anyone who continued in unbelief/disobedience, bloodline Israel or otherwise, was in danger of being cut off. (Romans 11)

Shalom. 14:57 solely on believing?? What comes to mind is this verse.
You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
James 2:19-24
How do you justify solely on believing, when works is apart of it too? I look forward to hearing from you. Grace and Shalom.
Jesus is called, LORD, and the 'word' because if you look at Isaiah 45:7, the LORD does ALL these things, and the 'law' is given as a blessing AND a curse, thus the duality of light and dark are shown. The key to understanding God's perspective of them is different than ours, but easily understood.
Fratello sei molto preparato spiritualmente
Law keeping can never get any one to heaven, but only through faith, which came from Abraham. If you are to keep the laws, then you are cursed, Galatians 3:10. Remember that Titus 3:5 also says it's not the good things we do that saves us but only through Christ, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit. If righteousness can be earned through following the laws of God, then Christ died for nothing, Galatians 2:21.
Dedicating one day a week to really Resting in Him, is that too much to ask? How will you handle Resting in Him 7 days a week for all Eternity if you can’t handle one day? Are Christians watching Hulu or Netflix or Disney plus really resting in Him? Are Christians watching their favorite NFL or MLB or NHL or NBA team really Resting in Him? Look at the Ten. Can you recite them? Most Christians have trouble with this. No other Gods, that’s still relevant, right? No idols, still important, right, not taking His Name in vain which is really means not being a hypocrite, keeping His Sabbath Holy set apart for Him no longer relevant??? Honoring our parents, still important. Don’t murder, or can you do that now? No, obviously. No adultery. No stealing. No lying. No coveting. All summed are all about love. We in today’s church have literally changed the Sabbath Day to Sunday because of bad Bible translating. How? Jesus Rose on the first day of the week, which is Sunday, right??? No, Jesus Christ Rose on the first day of the week of week 1 of the 7 Weeks of 7 aka the Feast of Weeks. Jesus Christ Rose on Day 1 of the 49. The next Day was Day 50, Pentecost, the Day that the Holy Spirit was given. Jesus Christ Rose on the Hebrew Day called First Fruits. First Fruits is Day 1 of the 49. All 7 Hebrew Feasts sum up the full Gospel Message. Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Tabernacles, Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits and Weeks have all 100% been fulfilled by Jesus Christ. The Fall Feasts are for sin and the Spring Feasts are for death.
Faith is obedience to God's Word, read Hebrews 11 and see for yourself Faith is not what you believe Faith is what you believe and do
Hey I'm not disrespecting you or anything, but if you have faith in Jesus that you will be saved, are you saying that it is both faith and works are needed for salvation? Please explain
@@rapzkie392 Jas 2:14 KJV What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
@@rapzkie392 you need a faith that is a verb, this is The Hebrew concept
faith that is a noun is a western concept, this type of faith gets you nowhere
@@rapzkie392 belief is also a verb in The Hebrew concept, there must be evidence of your belief likewise there must be evidence of your faith
@@steveleung855 so basically it is a result of one's faith?
Jesus said "If you love me, keep my commandments." We have not been given the authority to choose which commandments to keep. The Sabbath, like marriage was instituted before Adam and Eve sinned. (Is it a coincidence that they are the most debated institutions that are attacked today?). Why out of all the 10 commandments, we are told to remember the Sabbath? Is it possible that God thought that His people might forget?
Therefore, as the Sabbath was instituted during creation week, before sin, the 7th Day Sabbath cannot be part of the ceremonial law, written by Moses.The ceremonial law was written after sin and prefigured the ministry of Christ. That's why we don't kill lambs, as Jesus is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. Christ is also our Passover. We are saved by His blood, not by the blood of animals on our doorpost. Most Christians, it seems have a problem with the 4th commandment, but have no problems with keeping the other 9.
The early Christians were having desputes about circumcism (read Galations), food given to idols and even if women should cover their heads and speak in church . If the Apostles were observing Sunday as the day of worship, a change after thousands of years of worshipping on Saturday, wouldnt it have been mentioned in the NT writings, and wouldn't some of the traditional 'converted' Jews be creating a fuss, that the Apostles would have had to address?
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath, because He created it. In accepting Him as our personal Saviour and having a personal relationship with Him, we enter into His rest. In the earth made new, living with Him, we will have eternal life and experience total rest (no more sin). In the Earth made new, according to Isaiah, we will still be keeping the Sabbath.
Hi, Jeanaheroe. Scripture tells Christians, "Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ" (Col. 2:16-17).
Blessings,
Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots Thank you for your reply. The scripture you are quoting is in regard to keeping of the religious feasts and ceremonies which were a prefigure of Christ. Some of those feasts had special Sabbaths that did not necessarily fall on the 7th day of the week. It mentioned Sabbath days. Those feasts, I think we both agree with the scripture you quoted prefigured Christ. However, the Sabbath was mentioned before Mt Sinai. In the gathering of Manna, the children of Israel were instructed not to gather Manna on the 7th day of the week.
In the book of Luke, it is mentioned that Our Lord Jesus Christ also kept the Sabbath, it was His custom. He was vocal about the behaviour of the Pharisees and Saducees, but he never spoke to them about the day of their Sabbath keeping. He exposed their hypocrisy. Exploitation of the poor and show of godliness when He knew they were plotting to kill Him.
The Sabbath was instituted on the 7th day. God rested from His acts of Creating the Earth. God was not tired, but He was setting an example for us as human beings to follow. Exodus 20 was a reminder to the children of Israel, to keep the Sabbath because it would remind them that God is their Creator as opposed to the false gods of Egypt and Caanan. It was also an opportunity to rest from their labour's and spend time with Him. Even the servants and animals had a break.
Again, the Sabbath reminds us that God is our Creator (Exodus 20: 8--11) as opposed to gods of evolution, Mother Earth and any other false God, human kind chooses to make up.
I am confused. Another video, a national debate, points out that another thing that is not addressed here. We believe in Jesus, and by believing means we live the way Jesus do and follow his teachings, and commands. The debate points out that Jesus died on the cross means the punishment was paid by Jesus, but the rule is still there. 😶
I agree we need to follow the teachings and commands of Jesus! Well said. Where do you find Jesus teaching or commanding his followers to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy?
RLS
Jesus is our ,or those who believes pass over,because of His blood,eternal death passes over all believers,and we recieve eternal life.
14:58 ---- amen!!
Deuteronomy 4:1,2 & 13 Ecclesiastes 3:14 , Matthew 5:18 can you explain these to me? My brother I've been asking you questions to understand where your mindset goes but after listening to this I find a lot of errors, you called the The commandments the law of Moses, Moses said it's the law of God,you said it's for the the children of Israel God said it's for all men, you said God separated the Isrealites from the Gentiles, God said he didn't separate anyone. Isaiah 56:1-8
As a theologian you should know all these things, Hebrews affirm the keeping of the sabbath you say it didn't, when those that had faith in God enter the promise land did they kept the sabbath?
The sabbath is not an option it's a command,God was being very specific when he said it, everyone who kept the sabbath please God and those who didn't keep the sabbath didn't please God. All the disciples kept the sabbath as God said the all believe in the law and the prophets, Acts 24:14 Jesus himself taught us to keep in colossians 2:1-18 Paul said don't let anyone judge you how to keep the sabbath
The ordinances you talking about was place in the side but the sabbath along with the ten commandments was place inside the ark, do you know that? Read deuteronomy.
Let's talk about the new covenant, God said he will write my laws in your heart and in your mind will I write them, Jeremiah 31.....if God write it in your heart means it wasn't written in the heart before and that what's make the difference
To sum up everything the Ten Commandments is not Moses law it's the law of God almighty and just as a murderer unrepented will not enter God's kingdom so the man who violates God's sabbath unrepented or turn away will not enter God's kingdom. Thank you brother and may you search out God, BLESSINGS
King Perry, Good to hear from you!
As far as Deut 4:1-2, 13, who is God addressing in this passage? It's right there at the beginning, "And now, O *Israel,* listen to the statutes and the rules that I am teaching you..."
And here's a brief explanation of Matt 5:18 that I just released: th-cam.com/video/_UNESZi_LFY/w-d-xo.html
BTW I refer to the commandments as the "Law of Moses" because that is the term that Scripture consistently uses to refer to the commands that Yahweh gave Israel at Mount Sinai through Moses (Josh 8:31-32, 23:6; Judges 4:11; 1 Kings 2:3; 2 Kings 23:35; 2 Chron 23:18, 30:16; Ezra 3:2, 7:6, Neh 8:1; Dan 9:13; Luke 2:22, 24:44; John 7:23; Acts 13:39, 15:5, 28:23; 1 Cor 9:9; Heb 10:28).
The Law of Moses was given as the terms of the Sinai covenant, which God made solely with the nation of Israel (Ex 19:1-6). God never commanded Gentile nations to keep the weekly Sabbath, nor has he ever judged them for not keeping it. And nowhere in the New Testament will you find anyone being instructed to keep the Sabbath. It is never prohibited, of course, which is why we see the Jewish followers of Jesus keeping it. It is permitted but not required of Christians.
Blessings,
Rob
@@TheBiblicalRoots God was speaking to everyone that dwell in the land no one is exempt, Exodus 20:8-11God includes none Isrealites only if you thinks that God is a liar, God said violation of his sabbath is evil, Isaiah 56:1-2 once something is evil with God it cannot become good its always evil, when God was speaking to the children of Israel there was also a mix multitude, people from other nations Exodus 12:37 and everyone was supposed the same commandments Exodus 12:49
Isreal is God's family if follow God you apart of his family
@@TheBiblicalRoots One more thing when you say that the sabbath is for Israel only you putting a separation between the Isrealites and none Isrealites, God never separate anyone, Isaiah 56:1-8 God said "don't say I separated you from my people" when you hear the phrase "hear o Israel" he's speaking to everyone that dwells in the land, weather they were born in the land or a stranger.
God is the business of saving souls, everyone in Nineveh obeyed God and keep the sabbath, that wasn't Isrealites, Ruth and Rahab also, everyone who kept the sabbath please God and those who didn't keep the sabbath didn't please God.Isaiah 56:1-8
The sabbath is everlasting, if God said it's so it is so, I cannot say this enough, God cannot lie
@@TheBiblicalRoots I forgot that thou shall not commit adultery thou shall not kill was also addressed to Isreal, so if what is addressed to Isreal is for Isreal then you are free to do those
@@TheBiblicalRoots Jesus never say he is our sabbath and nowhere in the New testament is that ever recorded, there's no text in the New Testament that Jesus or his disciples ever worship on Sunday as cooperate worship, find me one
This video explanation may sound nice but it is unbiblicall.
How do you explain Exodus 16 which was before the 10 commandments and if all other 10 commandments can be transgressed in the mind and in action (ie. act of adultery and thoughts of adultery, bowing down to idols and thoughts of having other gods etc) how is it that the one commandment that existed before sin, in Genesis 1, and before the giving of the law as seen in Exodus 16 no longer exists?
Hebrews 4 is crystal clear. God's rest was physical. He ceased from His works on the 7th day and we are to cease as well AS He did from His.
Hebrews 4 says:
3Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,
“So I declared on oath in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ” b
And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world. 4For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “On the seventh day God rested from all his works.” c 5And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”
6Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience, 7God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.” d
8For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, e just as God did from his. 11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
I believe the year-for-day belief is unbiblical resulting in 2300 years, IJ, 1260 years etc being unbiblical as well as other SDA teachings are wrong but the 7th day Sabbath rest did not originate with EGW and the SDA movement. Dale Ratzlaff and the like throw out the Sabbath, as you have, and there is no biblical basis to do so.
I would encourage you to please consider what I am sharing with you and honor God as He expects His children to do. He made the Sabbath day for us for a reason.
Now let's look at Hebrews 7 and Colossians 2 in context.
Let's look at the CONTEXT to see what these verses are referring to. We need to be careful to take God's Word as it reads (EXEGESIS) without reading into the text (EISEGESIS).
Hebrews 7:5
"Now THE LAW REQUIRES the descendants of Levi who become PRIESTS TO COLLECT A TENTH from the people-that is, from their fellow Israelites-even though they also are descended from Abraham.
Which LAW included paying tithe?
Nehemiah 10:36-37 says:
“As it is also written in the Law, we will bring the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests ministering there. “Moreover, we will bring to the storerooms of the house of our God, to the priests, the first of our ground meal, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees and of our new wine and olive oil. And we will bring a tithe of our crops to the Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all the towns where we work."
The TITHE is part of the CEREMONIAL LAW which is separate from the 10 commandments.
Deuteronomy 12:11
Then to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name-there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice possessions you have vowed to the LORD.
The LAW that was nailed to the cross has nothing to do with the 10 commandments. These are those which were handwritten by Moses. The "Sabbath's" here in Colossians 2 refer to the annual Sabbath's and not the weekly one that was established in Eden and made for man. The handwritten law was ADDED 430 years later. The language used in Colossians clearly refers to the annual Feasts. Paul here is telling the Gentiles to not worry about the Jews who still believe these ceremonial laws need to be kept.
Colossians 2:14, 16-17
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
If you read Hebrews 9 and 10, it is clear that the LAW which was a SHADOW (Hebrews 10:1) is the ceremonial law.
Most Christians are sheep and follow popular beliefs for one reason or another. SDAs, on the other hand follow EGWs views of scripture. Their beliefs are not all wrong but their foundation in the year-for-day is leading to many false beliefs which contradicts scripture. The SDA movement was based on a misapplication of Numbers 14:34, the SDA movement is not the originator of the 7th day Sabbath observance. In fact, in Hebrews 4:10, we are even called upon to ENTER GOD'S REST by resting from our works in the very same was AS GOD DID FROM HIS. Hebrews 4:10 and Genesis 2:2-3 says:
"for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, BECAUSE on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done."
So to cease from our works AS God did from His is clear that we are also to work and cease for a day upon THE day which He made Holy.
The 10 commandments was not the LAW THAT WAS ADDED because of transgression. All 10 were seen since the beginning for they are the foundational laws for man. Adam and Eve sinned as they had another god, Cain sinned as he murdered Abel etc etc.
I encourage you to revisit this topic and allow God rather than men who have gone before you.
God bless!
Entering into the rest of God is dependent only on one's belief, not one's works. I only see truth in what Rob is saying and I see only manipulation being expressed in your explanation.
Thank you
Give me just a bible text that says that Jesus is our sabbath. I will become a Sunday keeper
No one says anyone is a
“ Sunday keeper.” Hebrews 4 is clear unless you are a bewitched wannabe Jew fool. New covenant new creations in Christ enter into an eternal rest in Christ by faith. You would know this if you were a Christian.
