What is Sabbath all about.

I was getting ready to rest, for the sun was setting and it was time for our Sabbath.

Bere. (Gen.) 2:3

Now Elohim blessed the 7^th day and set it apart, because on it He rested from all His work which Elohim

In creating had made.

He created a set apart place where man and the tree of life would dwell. Yahweh in their midst.

Bere.(Gen.)3:22

And Yahweh Elohim said, “See the man has become like one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat and live forever.

Adam was sent out of the garden because of sin. This scripture tells me that this was a command or

He would not have everlasting life. My thoughts were when Adam took of the tree of life, he was being born again. The Word was nourishing him back to life. Feeding him the manna from heaven. His obedience blessed him with Seth who kept the promise seed moving forward.

Adam was able to find rest for his being. Even though sin separated him from his Abba Father. He found his way back by his obedience to hear the voice of Yahweh.

Now we all know that Sabbath is a time of Shalom, but why are there times it isn’t?

This is when Yahweh spoke to me at about 3 in the morning to tell me some things.

How can one rest if he carries the burdens of the world on his shoulder? And what does rest mean to us?

Is there may be a wrong picture being displayed? Ex. 16:28-30 is saying to Moshe, you did not guard my teachings. The other two scriptures give us detail how Sabbath is to be kept; now this is vital for one to know what it is to rest.

Now I will say I have done all that my own flesh wants in the comfort of Sabbath, for I watch many in the faith have different views, like some sleep all day, some have visitors and some attend a assembly lay food on the table and feast. Some stay in their homes and close the door, read the Torah, find teaching on the web. some go for a drive out in the country or just take a walk and smell the flowers and soak in the beauty of the outdoors. Some say my children can’t stay quiet all day, so they let them play outside or do games and other activities. Etc etc…

What is true rest in the eyes of Yahweh?

I think He explained it when He told Adam to take of the tree of life. For Yahushua is our Sabbath. That means the Word is our rest and we must yield to it, for the Spirit guides us into how He created us to be. When we believe the Word and act on it, it will destroy the works of the devil and his plans. Our mind is being renewed daily to think

with Yahushua’s mind.

When we allow Yahweh to do our battles weekly, for we are His children, the Sabbath rest will become a delight. The promise gift is ours, the Spirit of comfort and Shalom. Yahweh Himself!! Victory is ours and we will no longer become lazy and complacent but eager to obey the Word. And when the course is finished at the end of the week, Wow!! What a Joy rest will be in our being!

Set-apart is the Sabbath. For Yahweh so loved the world in Yoh 3:16 that He gave His brought forth Son, so everyone who believes in Him should not perish but possess life everlasting.

Now think of Him holding His Son in His Hand, cuddling His Son like we would cuddle a baby chick. His tears of Joy upon Him. Look what we will have if we knit ourselves with Yahushua. A Father who will put us down for a nap. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.

This is the victory that is ours. If we repent and obey He will be pleased to give us rest on the Sabbath.

Matt 12:8

For the Son of Adam is the Master of the Sabbath.

Matt11:28

Come, to Me all you who labor and are burdened, and I shall give You rest

It sounds like we are invited to the wedding party; let’s not forget to wear our white garment.

As we travel the narrow path, may the flaming fire guide us as we come to the entrance with the Sheppard waiting as we enter in. Don’t be those who are not invited, for they thought they served but were rejected because they tried to enter another way. Yahushua did not know them.

Like the flood, it was too late but not for Noah and his family. For Noah was found righteous before Yahweh and knew how to rest his weary being, for he built the ark with the Hand of Yahweh and when rest came he could take in the comfort and shalom with everlasting Joy.

Remember He is making us the building of the new Yerushalayim where Yahushua is the chief cornerstone. And He is chiseling at our heart and making a new one and putting the right spirit in us. HalleluYah!!

Will we allow Him to renew us and keep us alive by His Word. Then only will we enter His rest. For on the 7^th day He put down His tools took a break and Rejoiced with those who entered into His rest. HalleluYah!!

For where Yahweh’s Spirit is there is freedom and rest for our being.

Remember to equip yourselves for the Set-apart feast that will soon be here. And when we come to gather, may we have a song in our heart to be forever grateful to the One whose kindness is everlasting.

Shalom Selah
