THE SABBATH
The SABBATH of "REST" in our wonderful SAVIOR [for HE IS the GOD of the SABBATH - Mark 2:28 - "So the Son of Man is MASTER (GOD) EVEN OF THE SABBATH] - was meant to be the ONE DAY (the 7th day - YHWH'S PROCLAIMED DAY ON HIS CALENDAR - SATURDAY) in a BUSY WEEK where ALL BELIEVERS COULD REST IN HIM
Ex. 20:8
"[Earnestly] REMEMBER the SABBATH DAY, to KEEP IT HOLY [WITHDRAWN from COMMON EMPLOYMENT and DEDICATE it to YHWH GOD]
Ex. 20:10
But the SEVENTH DAY [NOT the 1st Day of the week that is Sunday - no - the 7th DAY that is SATURDAY]
is a SABBATH to YHWH your GOD; IN IT YOU SHALL NOT DO ANY WORK, you, OR YOUR SON, YOUR DAUGHTER,
YOUR MANSERVANT, your MAIDSERVANT, your DOMESTIC ANIMALS, or the SOJOURNER WITHIN YOUR GATES."
Just as the
RAINBOW
is the PHYSICAL SIGN and the SEAL of the NOAHIC COVENANT
Gen. 9:17 - "And YHWH said to Noah,
THIS RAINBOW is the TOKEN or SIGN of the COVENANT of solemn PLEDGE which I HAVE ESTABLISHED BETWEEN ME
and ALL FLESH UPON the earth"
and the
CIRCUMCISION
the SIGN and SEAL of the ABRAHAMIC COVENANT
Gen. 17
:9 "And YHWH said to Abraham, AS FOR YOU, YOU SHALL therefore KEEP MY COVENANT, YOU AND your DESCENDANTS AFTER YOU THROUGHOUT THEIR GENERATIONS.
:10 THIS IS MY COVENANT WHICH YOU SHALL KEEP, BETWEEN ME AND YOU AND your PROSPERITY AFTER YOU: EVERY MALE AMONG YOU SHALL BE CIRCUMCISED.
:11 ... and IT SHALL BE A TOKEN or SIGN of the COVENANT (the PROMISE or PLEDGE) BETWEEN ME AND YOU.
the
SABBATH
is the SIGN and SEAL of the MOSAIC COVENANT
pointing to the NEW COVENANT for Jew AND Gentile.
The SABBATH [of REST] (the sign and seal of the Mosaic-covenant) Ex. 20:8 "[Earnestly] REMEMBER the SABBATH DAY, to KEEP IT HOLY [WITHDRAWN from COMMON EMPLOYMENT and DEDICATE it to YHWH GOD]"
YAHSHUA MESSIAH is also the GOD of the SABBATH:
The SABBATH of "REST" in our wonderful SAVIOR [for HE IS the GOD of the SABBATH - Mark 2:28 - "So the Son of Man is MASTER (GOD) EVEN OF THE SABBATH] - was meant to be the ONE DAY (the 7th day - YHWH'S PROCLAIMED DAY ON HIS CALENDAR - SATURDAY) in a BUSY WEEK where ALL BELIEVERS COULD REST IN HIM –
IT'S A BLESSING:
Honoring the Sabbath is actually a BLESSING GIVEN originally to the children of Israel but ALSO to ALL BELIEVERS - a GIFT of our HEAVENLY FATHER HIMSELF to ALL WHO FOLLOW HIM –
and -
AS WE STEP INTO this HOLY SET APART DAY:
KEEPING IT - HONORING HIM and IT - it is PROMISED to BECOME A SPECIAL and LOVED TIME.
It is a TIME to SHUT OFF the NOISE and WORRIES and CARES of the WORLD and SPEND TIME TOGETHER AS A FAMILY in the PRESENCE of MESSIAH.
IT HONORS YHWH GOD:
It is a SPECIAL SET-APART DAY - A COMMANDMENT - that by KEEPING IT - HONORS GOD. It UNIFIES our FAMILY and SETS PRIORITIES FOR THEM.
IT’S NOT A BURDEN but a SECRET KEY:
The Sabbath was never meant to be a burden - it was meant to be a SECRET KEY to the BLESSINGS of YHWH GOD on HIS CHILDREN.
A TIME to PONDER ON HIS WORD - HIS PROMISES - SPEAKING IT OVER US AND OUR CHILDREN'S LIVES.
It is a DAY of REMEMBRANCE of the COVENANT of YHWH.
A DAY OF JOY and PEACE and RESTING IN HIM - and with the REST IN HIM COMES HEALING of our SPIRITS (HEARTS) - SOULS (MINDS) and our BODY and BODILY FUNCTIONS.
RENEWED AND REFRESHED:
It PROVIDES A REFRESHED SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY.
(When the people of Israel cried out to YHWH - the God of their forefathers - "... YHWH God HEARD THEIR SIGHING AND GROANING, and earnestly REMEMBERED HIS COVENANT with Abraham with Isaac and with Jacob." (Ex. 2:24). With a series of ten plagues upon Egypt, YHWH brought the Israelites OUT of EGYPT (New Testament/COVENANT - MESSIAH bring the sinner OUT of his Egypt [sin] and TO HIMSELF so that THEY COULD WORSHIP HIM - COME TO "REST" IN HIM. Ex. 19:3 "And Moses went up to YHWH God, and YHWH CALLED to him out of the mountain, SAY THIS to the house of Jacob and tell the Israelites: :4 You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I BORE YOU ON EAGLES' WINGS AND BROUGHT YOU TO MYSELF. :5 Now therefore, IF you WILL OBEY MY VOICE IN TRUTH and KEEP MY COVENANT THEN you SHALL BE MY OWN PECULIAR POSSESSION AND TREASURE from among and ABOVE ALL PEOPLES; for ALL THE EARTH IS MINE. :6 And YOU SHALL BE to Me a KINGDOM OF PRIESTS, a HOLY NATION [CONSECRATED] SET APART TO WORSHIP YHWH God] ...")
Isaiah 58:13-14
"IF you TURN AWAY your FOOT FROM TRAVELLING UNDULY on the SABBATH,
from DOING YOUR OWN PLEASURE ON MY HOLY DAY and
CALL the SABBATH a SPIRITUAL DELIGHT,
the HOLY DAY of YHWH GOD HONORABLE,
and HONOR HIM AND IT,
NOT GOING YOUR OWN WAY
or SEEKING OR FINDING YOUR OWN PLEASURE
or SPEAKING YOUR OWN IDLE WORDS,
THEN
WILL YOU DELIGHT YOURSELF in ELOHIM YHWH, your GOD (love Him), and
I WILL MAKE YOU TO RIDE ON THE HIGH PLACES of the earth (make you prosperous, successful in all you do)
and I WILL FEED YOU with the HERITAGE PROMISED for you" (all the good things will come on to you as promised).
Ex. 20:8
"[Earnestly] REMEMBER the SABBATH DAY, to KEEP IT HOLY [WITHDRAWN from COMMON EMPLOYMENT and DEDICATE it to YHWH GOD]"
Ex. 20:10
"But the SEVENTH DAY is a SABBATH to YHWH your GOD; IN IT YOU SHALL NOT DO ANY WORK, you, OR YOUR SON, YOUR DAUGHTER, YOUR MANSERVANT, your MAIDSERVANT, your DOMESTIC ANIMALS, or the SOJOURNER WITHIN YOUR GATES."
Rev. 14:12
"Here [comes in a call for] the STEADFASTNESS of the SAINTS (BELIEVERS) [the PATIENCE, the ENDURANCE of the PEOPLE OF GOD] THOSE who [HABITUALLY] KEEP GOD'S COMMANDMENTS and [their] FAITH in YESHUA MESSIAH."
Lev. 26:40-42 "... IF they CONFESS THEIR OWN AND their FATHERS' INIQUITIES in their TREACHERY (deceitfulness, betrayal, falseness, disloyalty, lies, untruthfulness, corruption, deception, duplicity, sins etc.) WHICH THEY COMMITTED AGAINST Me .. IF THEN their UNCIRCUMCISED HEARTS ARE HUMBLED ...... THEN WILL I [earnestly] REMEMBER MY COVENANT "

They will make their own NEW SABBATHS and FEASTS –
There are more than 40 COMMANDS in the OLD Testament (Covenant) to KEEP the SABBATH DAY (the SEVENTH DAY - that is SATURDAY) - all ORDERED - EVEN SUMMONED by YHWH HIMSELF.
(Scripture referring to the SABBATH: Gen. 2:2; Ex. 20:8-11; Lev. 23:1-3; Ex. 31:15-18; Deut. 9:10; Ex. 16:23; Neh. 9:14; Deut. 5:14; Isaiah 58:13; Ex.31:13; Lev. 19:3; 19:30; 26:2; Is. 56:4; Ezek. 20:12,13,16,20,21,24: 22:8,26; etc.)
The OLD TESTAMENT - the ONLY SCRIPTURES for the EARLY MESSIANIC BELIEVERS:
In the TIMES OF YAHSHUA ON EARTH and for the early MESSIANIC BELIEVERS (whether Jew or Gentile) - the OLD TESTAMENT (COVENANT) WERE the ONLY SCRIPTURES there was.
The NEW TESTAMENT FLOWED OVER FROM the OLD TESTAMENT:
The NEW TESTAMENT (New Covenant) FLOWED OVER FROM the OLD TESTAMENT (Old Covenant) - IN LINE with THE LAW and COMMANDMENTS (given to Moses) - INTO FULFILLMENT (sacrifices replaced with Messiah as the LAST and FOR ALL sacrifice) - CONTINUING in MESSIAH YAHSHUA.
YAHSHUA KEPT the SABBATH as the SEVENTH DAY:
YAHSHUA did NOT CHANGE the SABBATH DAY (SEVENTH DAY - that is SATURDAY) to SUNDAY (FIRST DAY of the WEEK) nor did HE TOLD HIS FOLLOWERS to DO SO or to do it in the future.
THEY WILL MAKE THEIR OWN NEW SABBATHS:
Amazingly, in the Biblical Book of Jubilees that was taken from the Scriptures for reasons by man (Catholic Church) - Yahweh told Moses BEFOREHAND (during the period that Moses was on Mount Sinai to receive the LAW and COMMANDMENTS) - that the people will GO AFTER NEW (man-made) SABBATHS AND FEASTS AND ORDINANCE.
ISAIAH 1:
This is exactly what happened in Isaiah's timeframe (Isaiah 1) - then AGAIN with the
CONSTANTINIAN SHIFT:
With Roman Emperor Constantine the Great's religious "SHIFT" DECEPTION - his mixture of Messianic beliefs and paganism (him a sun-worshipper BAAL/MOLECH WORSHIPPER till his death) - then
Pope Gregory with his NEW "GREGORIAN" TIME CALENDAR when the Roman Catholic SUN HONORING DAY (SUN-DAY - the first day of the week) became the NEW SABBATH DAY as it is still TODAY.
"Jub. 1:14 " And they will FORGET ALL My LAW (Torah) and ALL My COMMANDMENTS and ALL MY JUDGMENTS, and WILL GO ASTRAY as to NEW MONTHS, and (NEW) SABBATHS and (NEW) FESTIVALS ..."
THE ALL-MIGHTY CREATOR:
WHAT YHWH HAS DONE - HE HAS DONE - WHAT HE HAS SAID - HE HAS SAID - HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY - TODAY AND TOMORROW. HE WILL NOT ALTER HIS COMMANDS/COMMANDMENTS. (Ps. 89:34 "My COVENANT I WILL NOT VIOLATE, NOR WILL I ALTER the UTTERANCES of MY LIPS")
COMPLETE HISTORY OF CREATION:
In Jubilees 2 Moses is given the complete history from Creation.
YHWH HIMSELF APPOINTED the SABBATH as A SIGN:
Jub. 2:1 "And the angel of the presence spoke to Moses according to the word of Yahweh, saying: Write the complete history of the creation, how in six days Yahweh Almighty finished all His works and all that he created and KEPT SHABBAT on the SEVENTH DAY and HALLOWED it for ALL AGES, and APPOINTED IT AS A SIGN FOR ALL HIS WORKS.
FIRST DAY: YHWH CREATED the HEAVEN and EARTH:
Jub 2:2 For on the first day He created the heavens which are above and the earth and the waters and ALL the spirits [malakim] which serve before Him ... He created the abysses and the darkness, eventide (and night) and the light, dawn and day, which He has prepared in the knowledge of His heart. :3 And thereupon we saw His works, and praised Him, and lauded before Him on account of all His works, for seven great works did He create on the first day.
SIXTH DAY of CREATION:
:13 And on the sixth day He created all the animals of the earth, and all the cattle and everything that moves on the earth.
MAN AND WOMAN:
:14 And after ALL this HE CREATED MAN, a MAN AND a WOMAN CREATED HE THEM, and gave him dominion over ALL that is upon the earth, and in the seas ... over the WHOLE EARTH He gave him dominion.
:16 And HE FINISHED ALL HIS WORK on the SIXTH DAY - ALL that is IN THE HEAVENS and on the EARTH, and IN THE SEAS and IN THE ABYSSES, and IN THE LIGHT and IN THE DARKNESS, and IN EVERYTHING.
YHWH GAVE A GREAT SIGN - the SABBATH DAY:
:17 AND HE GAVE US A GREAT SIGN, THE SABBATH DAY, THAT WE SHOULD WORK SIX DAYS, but KEEP SHABBAT ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL WORK.
ANGELS to KEEP the SABBATH WITH YHWH:
:18 AND ALL the ANGELS of the PRESENCE and ALL the ANGELS of SANCTIFICATION, these TWO GREAT CLASSES - HE HAS BIDDEN US to KEEP THE SABBATH WITH HIM in HEAVEN AND ON EARTH."
YHWH SAID - MY PEOPLE SHALL KEEP the SABBATH DAY and I WILL BLESS THEM - and I WILL BE THEIR KING:
:19 And He said to us: "Behold, I WILL SEPARATE UNTO MYSELF A PEOPLE from among all the peoples, and these SHALL KEEP THE SHABBAT DAY, and I WILL SANCTIFY them UNTO MYSELF as MY PEOPLE, and WILL BLESS THEM; as I HAVE SANCTIFIED the SHABBAT DAY and DO SANCTIFITY IT UNTO MYSELF, even SO WILL I BLESS THEM, and THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE and I WILL BE THEIR SOVEREIGN RULER (KING)."
Forgive us O Yahweh - that we did not keep YOUR SABBATH DAY! Forgive us for our LACK OF KNOWLEDGE - forgive us that we CLUNG to the FALSENESS of a DECEIVED religion/church and that we did not SOUGHT the TRUTH. Forgive us that we have RUN to THEOLOGICAL denominational BOOKS - the writings and perceptions of man - to FIND ANSWERS where we SHOULD HAVE COME to YOU - KNELT AT YOUR FEET and SOUGHT YOUR FACE!. Forgive us that we went under the COVERING OF FALSENESS in the CHURCH! That we MADE COVENANTS with false RELIGION that placed us under false religious organizations DOGMATIC CONTROL instead of being UNDER YOUR COVERING breaking COVENANT WITH YOU. O Father forgive us for IGNORING YOU - IGNORING and QUENCHING YOUR SPIRIT OF TRUTH and CLUNG to MAN-MADE RITUALS, TRADITIONS AND FEASTS - IGNORING YOUR APPOINTED TIMES AND SEASONS/FEASTS and YOUR SABBATH DAY - that we have PARTICIPATED in this FEASTS the same as the WORLD AND THE PAGANS DO AND DID. HELP US FATHER to COME CLEAN - to REPENT! to BE CLEANSED AND WASHED in the BLOOD of YOUR SON. IN YAHSHUA MESSIAH'S NAME. Amen.

SHABBAT SHALOM (Sarah Jubilee – Letter Journal)
Yeshua hold in His hand the WORD SHALOM - It is written in gold.
My dad stood before my mom and I, & the SHALOM firstly went right THROUGH MY DAD INTO US!
I saw heaven opening up and blessing pouring out on us ... many blessings!
Yeshua said “Can you see that I FULFILLED the LAW? – I am standing at the END OF THE LAW – but if you WANT TO BE IN LINE WITH ME – YOU WILL HONOR ME through KEEPING MY SHABBAT. You do not have to be a Jew - you are not keeping Shabbat because you are a Jew – You are HONORING ME.
When you keep My Holy Day, you are IN LINE WITH ME & ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE ALL THE ABUNDANT BLESSINGS THAT MY HOLY SHABBAT CARRIES!
Yeshua started to SPEAK BLESSING UPON BLESSING UPON BLESSING and HE RELEASING it UNTIL THE SUN SETS Saturday night (end of Shabbat).
BLESSINGS ARE RELEASED EVERY SHABBAT but ONLY THOSE WHO HONOR MY HOLY DAY ARE ABLE to RECEIVE it.
My dad prayed the PRIESTLY BLESSING OVER US & HE WROTE YHWH (with oil) on our foreheads so that we may be blessed.
Then we blew the shofar. Honored be Your Name Yeshua Messiah our Savior – honored be Your name!.
THE PRIESTLY BLESSING:
Num. 6
:22 “And YHWH said to Moses,
:23 Say to Aaron (believers as the priestly nation) and his sons (your children) - This is the way you shall bless ... Say ...
:24 The Lord Yahweh bless you and watch, guard and keep you;
:25 The Lord Yahweh make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious, kind, merciful, and giving favor to you;
:26 The Lord Yahweh lift up His approving countenance upon you and give you PEACE (tranquility of heart and life continually).
:27 And ... PUT MY NAME UPON them ... and I WILL BLESS THEM.”
The head and priest of the home:
PRIESTLY BLESSING:
ABBA - our HEAVENLY FATHER BLESS YOU – WATCH GUARD AND KEEP YOU
YHWH MAKES HIS FACE to SHINE UPON YOU and ENLIGHTEN (INFORM, EDUCATE, INSTRUCT) YOU - HE be GRACIOUS to you – HE be KIND and COMPASSIONATE to you – HE be MERCIFUL to you and HE GIVE YOU FAVOR,
YHWH lift up his approving COUNTENANCE UPON YOU – APPROVE OF YOU - give you TRANQUILITY OF HEART – LIFE ABUNDANTLY and HIS OWN SHALOM (PEACE) He give to you. Amen.
Take a drop of anointing oil and “write” now the name of GOD – YHWH - on the foreheads of your family.
