1 | Does Is.66:23 mean sabbath still stands? | Is 66:23 | jessie | 232429 | ||
I am confused. I understood that the weekly sabbath was done away with now that Christ died. Is. 66:23 stumped me when I read it because it is talking about the end time (or what will be happening)and it says"from one sabbath to another".Does that mean the sabbath was never done away with and will continue in the new earth? | ||||||
2 | Does Is.66:23 mean sabbath still stands? | Is 66:23 | Elder | 232436 | ||
Yes it does. The Sabbath was never done away with and never will be according to HEB 4:9 NIV There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; there was only one ordained rest for the people of God and that was the weekly sabbath! | ||||||

Hello Elder, There would be those- myself as one- who would respectfully disagree. I think the question to ask is what is the overall purpose of Hebrews. It is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ as superior over angels, the law and even the Sabbath! Is Heb. 4:9 just describing the believers rest as like the Sabbath or is it prescribing it's continuation? I think the former. Interestingly, I note what Mark says: Mark 2:27-28, "Jesus said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath." The Lord Jesus Christ is Lord of the Sabbath. He is preeminent, not the Sabbath. It is Him we exalt and worship, not the day. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
