All sabbaths, the weekly rests, the special rests, are teaching models for the resurrection and afterward.
Each one teaches a different aspect. Like passover illustrating an end of slavery.
All sabbaths are "lasts"
So how I keep that, what I embrace about it, is supposed to be set apart. It is supposed to be a different kind of thing to look forward to than every day leading up to it.
These are who will rest on it -
God
Me
family
manservant, maidservant, ox, ass, cattle, stranger within gates
Salvation causes me to keep it properly, and that keeping does not have to be physical, though it helps in understanding.
Today, I hauled building materials for my mom and aunt, but put off actually building anything for later. I cleaned my kitchen. I purposely overslept. I didn't worry about a bill that is due today. I still kept the sabbath, even though by God's calendar, the next four sabbaths are on tuesday, tuesday, tuesday and wednesday.
Proper understanding of it did not save me, but was a part of defining salvation.

Think about it, did God create a race and call it Israel because God decided to be different for just these few people? Do you think God made a little pocket of a world and told the rest of the world to stay away, it had nothing to do with them? Do you think that God doesn't care a wit for you, that God is dedicated to just one group of people? In the book of Romans it tries to explain to us about all this complicated way God worked out redemption for us and what our place in it is.
hmmm look like animals keept it
Exodus 20
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 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.
you didn't anwser my question though and in order to anwser your question i'm gonna show you WHY THE LAW WASN'T GIVEN TO US IN THE FIRST PLACE [h=3]Romans 2:14[/h]King James Version (KJV)
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
so you wanna know what God did because of this? he died for our sins and salvation so that when we accept him we RECEIVE AN ENTIRELY NEW NATURE that is all that is required of us TO ACCEPT christ change our nature in christ Jesus if you really understood this a word about sabbath wouldn't even come out of your mouth because you would know exactly what this means, i'm still waiting for an anwser if possible

i said show me where in the bible it said that the sabbath is meant for us and not only the house of israel even this scripture in itself shows us that God was in fact talking to israel directly, i will show you 20 And God spake all these words, saying,2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
who did God brought out of egypt the entire world or the house of israel?
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
do you see gentile here or children of God here? i'm still waiting for that scripture that proves to me we must follow the sabbath

Deuteronomy 29
King James Version (KJV)
29These are the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that theLord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
10 Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
12 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the Lord thy God, and into his oath, which the Lord thy God maketh with thee this day:
13 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
15But with him that standeth here with us this day before the Lord our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
you also should not want the promises to Abraham etc because hey according to you God only spoke to Israel
just a thought hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

it's far from unstable and it's the truth God spoke directly to israel the bible clearly state so and when this matter is address it goes back to israel why not everyone? or the Son of God why just the house of israel? and don't say we are the house of israel all we did was gain the common wealth of israel through the holy spirit another verse to prove my point... 4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
probaly you did not read stranger also i wonder why and those that are not with us today

Was Israelites alone at Mt sinai when God spoke ?
This mess is because of what the modern day churches do though it's exactly as the scripture said they would do kick Jesus out of the church, so how are people suppose to be filled with the holy spirit to experience salvation, if many people throughly experienced salvation we would not even be talking about this right now, the holy spirit turned my entire life upsided down that is why i cannot agree with that after seeing what God has done for me, look i was once a sinful person i didn't care about anything like this i never went to church or read the bible for years but immediately after i accept christ in my life a miracle happen before my eyes right away that is the power of salvation I COULD NOT HELP MYSELF BUT LIVE A GODLY and righteous life i literally could not help myself i spent over $500 bucks at that time recently on some clothes that were pretty sinful but i couldn't help myself but throw it away i couldn't help myself but to pray for women that dress half naked i couldn't help myself but to preach the gospel if people truely understood the power of salvation we wouldn't be in this mess at all
was it Israel alone that came out of egypt lets see
Exodus 12:38And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
still waiting on the honour your parents verse
[h=3]Numbers 15:14-15[/h]King James Version (KJV)
14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto theLord; as ye do, so he shall do.
15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.
Stranger = gentiles hmmmmm just give it a thought
