Bible Note: In Leviticus 23:4 it tells us a little more about the Sabbath. "Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation (gathering together). You shall do no work on it, it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings." Seems to me he didn't tell them to go to the "tent" or the synagogue did He? The holy convocation of rest was to be held in "their dwellings". The Hebrew word for "dwellings" is "mowshab" meaning either an assembly or a dwelling (place). God expected the family and servants to have a day of rest one day a week. Isn't that why the rabbis made "rules" about just what could and couldn't be done on the day of rest? Did they make a rule that said everyone had to go to synogogue if it meant walking more than a mile?? Seems like they could only walk a mile on the day of rest. Is that right? Reminds me the Letter to the Hebrews (Jewish believers) 10:24-25 "And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, NOT FORSAKING THE ASSEMBLING OF OURSELVES TOGETHER, AS IS THE MANNER (custom) OF SOME, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." Even then, apparently everybody wasn't gathering together in a "service" of sorts! And the writer of Hebrews didn't say it was wrong to NOT assemble, but simply told those who were gathering together to keep gathering together. And it seems that the "gathering" that was spoken of had a purpose such as stirring up love and good works, and exhorting one another at/during the gathering. It doesn't sound a whole lot like most services today I don't think. |
