Subject: Year Long Sabbath |
Bible Note: Greetings Scott! The "Seventh" Year is indeed a year of solemn rest. However, because of the fact that this seventh year is referred to as a "Sabbath" does not mean that this year is equivalent to a "Sabbath" day! In fact, such an interpretation violates the whole of Scripture! What I was looking for was for you to make a distinction between a "Sabbath year" and a "Sabbath day", but you have not attempted to do so. However, there IS a distinction between the two. The Sabbath day was the seventh day of the week. The sabbath year (Leviticus 25:1-7) is speaking of the literal 'seventh' year. I see no other way to interpret Genesis and Leviticus as being two separate 'establishments': one to set the daily calendar and the other for a yearly cycle so that the land could recover. I could write more on this subject if I needed to, but I believe that I have unmasked your misapplication of the 'sabbath' and Leviticus 25:1-7. Blessings to you, Makarios |
