Here is a quick repeat and rundown of the facts.
Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
First God said and wrote that the Sabbath day is to be remembered and kept holy. Note it says a day and it does not say make it holy because it already is holy.
How do we keep it:
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 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:
Work for six days like God did in the beginning. and then don't work on the Sabbath. by the way notice its Gods Sabbath. And its for everyone even the Gentile/stranger.
One might ask, Why God? Well we don't need to guess because its the only one of the 10 that gives its own reason for being given.
Exo 20:11 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.
Because God made the heavens and earth in six days, Notice a past finished work. and then he rested on the Seventh day and blessed it and made it holy. also a past finished work.
We can verify this by Gods word.
Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Again the same testimony. God did indeed bless a day and set a day apart as Holy in regards to an already finished work. It clearly does not point forward.
That these are linked can not be denied. One just has to read it as it states.
no hint of a shadow. in fact no connection to Jesus as Messiah at all. Rather a direct connection to Jesus as creator. In fact once you get that you are in for a treat when it comes to salvation. There is a reason God added other Sabbaths after sin connected to sacrificial feasts, because Gods creative power is instrumental to his saving power.
Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Psa 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Psa 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
Psa 51:13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
