Bible Note: The seventh day, or Saturday, Sabbath was commanded in the Old Testament, there should be little controversy about that (Exodus 16:26, 20:8). It was a symbol of waiting for the Messiah, a spiritual rest. However, Jesus taught a new kind of Sabbath. He picked grain (Matthew 12:1) and taught that on the Sabbath one should, save sheep, a symbol of God's flock, from a well (Matthew 12:11). He did this despite the Old Testament law which said that a man is to be killed for violating the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32-6). Finally, Matthew 28:1 reads, "And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre..." (Young's Literal Translation, the KJV and its paraphrases misinterpreted the passage). This passage shows that there are two groups of Sabbaths, those including the Saturday after Jesus's death, and those including the following Sunday. A similar passage is Mark 16:9 (Be sure to use YLT). Hence, Colossians 2:16, "Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths..." Sometimes the Bible doesn't spit things out plain and simple, you have to study it. |
