Remember
the SABBATH day, to
keep
it holy... even thy stranger within thy gates.
Exodus 20 : 8 - 10.
Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: but the
the
seventh day
is the SABBATH of the Lord thy God :"
WHY?
"For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them
is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD
blessed
the
sabbath
day,and
hallowed it."Exodus 20:11
;Deuteronomy 5 : 13,14.
Exodus 31:12
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[13] Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my
sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your
generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
[14] Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every
one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work
therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
[15] Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of
rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall
surely be put to death.
[16] Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe
the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
[17] It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in
six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and
was refreshed.
[18] And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of
communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of
stone,written with
the finger of God."
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between
me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them."Ezekiel
20:12
" And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign
between me and you, that ye may know that I am the
LORD
your God." Ezekiel 20:20
Scripture never once tells of God erasing or retracting
his commandments.
