Now MMD
This is only sad for you my friend. You take scriptures that are in reference to the OLD covenant and try to apply them to the NEW. You are truly mixed up not knowing the WORD of GOD or the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. You teach against the Commandments of God in order to follow your Catholic heritiage that breaks the Commandments of God. This is something Jesus and the Apostles never did and something that if you continue in will keep you out of God's KINGDOM. You seem to be so anti Sabbath that I imagine you have some occupation that you work in that makes you work on God's Sabbath so you try to use scripture to justify you breaking it.
I've heard SDA's say that Isaiah 66:23 is proof that Christians will observe Sabbath and forever in the new heaven. If Isaiah 66:23 teaches that we will keep the Jewish Sabbath in heaven, then it also teaches we will keep the Jewish New Moon festival in heaven as well - "And it shall be from new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all mankind will come to bow down before Me, says the Lord” Isaiah 66:23. *Let's be consistent. Sabbatarians have the Jewish new moon festival observances in heaven based on the above text. If you insist on Sabbath observances based on Isaiah 66:23, then you also need to observe new moons as well. Yet from what I hear, most Sabbatarian’s don’t observe new moons. hmm.. That’s inconsistent. Are New moons and Sabbath keeping a requirement for Christians based on the New Covenant terms? NO.
You may need to study to word of God more to understant what the purpose was for the NEW MOONS in realation to the OLD Covenant. The purpose of the NEW MOONS was for the purpose to know God's Calander and seasonal timings for the year and have their origin in the first five books of the bible (Torah).
Genesis 1:14-16
14, And God said,
Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15, And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.
16, And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
The NEW MOONS were particularly important for getting the correct timings for the annual festivals of Leviticus 23. Many (not all) of which pointed to the coming of Jesus and were fulfilled at His death upon the cross. This is why we do not do animal sacrifices anymore which were are very bifg part of these festivals.
It seems you do not understand what the OLD COVENANT is for and how many of the Mosaic laws for remission of SINS pointing to Jesus have been fulfilled in the NEW COVENANT. IF you do not KNOW what the OLD and the NEW Covenants are how can you KNOW what the GOSPEL of the NEW COVENANT is?
Colossians 2:16 - Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day 17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

Will there be Levital Priests in the new heaven? If Isaiah 66:23 teaches that we will keep the Jewish Sabbath in heaven, then it also teaches in Isaiah 66:21 that the Levitical priests will be in heaven, because it is also mentioned. Sabbatarians have Levitical priests in heaven Isaiah 66:21? What happened to the Levitical Priesthood under the New Covenant terms? It was changed. Hebrews 7:12 - For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also.
You really do err not knowing the scriptures or the power of God. Have you not read in the NEW TESTAMENT;
1Pe 2:9
But
you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;
Rev 1:6
And has made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Rev 5:10
And have made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Rev 20:6
Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Hebrews 7
11, If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) <animal sacrifices> what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12, For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law <no more animal sacrifices>.
13, For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14, For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15, And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there rises another priest,
16, Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
17, For he testifies, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Yep seems there will still be Priests in the NEW HEAVENS and EARTH but not after the order of Levites but Christ.
Now as can be shown above you really need to start reading God's Word for yourself and turn away from the teachings and traditions of men that teach to break the Commandments of God.
SIN is the transgression of God's LAW. Those who CONTINUE IN KNOWN SIN will NOT enter into God's KINGDOM.

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).
