Sabbath age / era when everyday is a Sabbath unto God

[JohnD]

Everyday is sacred to the LORD in this the Sabbath era of his rest which we who believe in the Son of God enter into.

 

And as the priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:9 / Revelation 1:6 / Revelation 5:10) we work on the Sabbath.

 

Matthew 12:5 (NASB95)

5 “Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and are innocent?

BTW, we believers are also God's Temple (1 Corinthians 3:16).

 

So, take your pick Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday... worship and praise and teach and pray and edify and have a wonderful time!

 

Pick 'em all!

This is the Sabbath Era. The seventh age or era or if you will dispensation.

 

And the 7th day began as far as God is concerned Genesis 2:2.

Ephesians 2:14 (KJV)

14 For he IS our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

 

[JohnD]

We are at peace and rest with God. That's for (what for it) ever.

I must say I am leaning towards amillennialism though I am no preterist. The "millennium" / thousand years was the ancient Greek way of saying a million years... a very long time to we who live by 3 score and 10 on average.

Yes, we are at rest WITH Him, but our bodies are not at rest. We work hard all week and need the Sabbath rest that He blessed us with.

As for "(what for it)", I have no idea what that means.

It's a Barney-ism from a show I used to watch too much of in fact HIMYM... LOL

This is why I earlier posted that we are priest of God working on the Sabbath and yet not defiling ourselves...

Since the term "millennium" is not in Scripture, it does not matter what the Greeks thought it meant.

thousand years

I presume you will allow a tiny bit more leeway in our discussions, otherwise we will be trying to determine what the definition of is is...

And I guess you are unaware of the way the actor who played Alfalfa (your icon) died. Maybe you do and it doesn't matter... just think you should look into it just so you know...

Jhn 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Mat 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

I simply follow Jesus even if those of our day who were like the Jews of Jesus day want to kill me.

Edited to remove that which appeared anti-semitic though it was not.

Gary? Am I misunderstanding you here?

Gary? Am I misunderstanding you here?

Yes, Fez....sorry. I love our Jewish brothers and sisters but was simply speaking about 'Religious' people who hate those who don't live by the letter of the law. Looking back I see where my words appear to be anti-semetic. Sorry, to avoid confusion let me go back and edit my post.

What makes you think that those "Religious" people hate others who don't believe the same way? I believe in keeping the letter and spirit of all Ten Commandments, but I don't hate you. If I did, I wouldn't bother with you. It is because I love you and all my brothers and sisters in Messiah that I am compelled to share the truth as I know it with all. How do you know it is not the other way around? The way I have been treated on this forum for sharing the Sabbath and having people accuse me of being legalistic, questioning my salvation, etc., one would think they hated me. However, I don't believe they hate me. They just hate the thought of being wrong and so they will do or say whatever it takes to hold onto their tradition.

Joco, I don't consider you to be one of the 'Religious' I speak of. I consider you to be honestly misunderstanding the deeper truths of the laws you love and their application. When I said the above it was in the spirit of the text mentioned where the religious zealots of the day who did not know the very God they were trying to follow desired to rid themselves of Jesus because he had a wide appeal of the masses who were burdened by the Pharisees, lawyers and scribes through the law and its interpretation.
