TEN Reasons To Prove That The Sabbath Was Not Meant Only For The Jews. by blueAgent(m): 7:52am On May 07, 2016
This facts are to prove that , God's plan Concerning the Sabbath were not destroyed at the cross.

1) Adam and Eve were not Jewish. “God
blessed the seventh day and sanctified
it” (Genesis 2:3) before sin entered. “Sanctified”
means “to be set apart for holy use.” The only
ones in the Garden of Eden for whom the Sabbath was “set apart” were Adam and Eve, who weren’t Jewish.


2) “The Sabbath was made for man.” Mark
2:27. Jesus said this. It was “made” in the Garden of Eden before it was “written” down on Mount Sinai. The Sabbath was “made” for “man,” not just Jews.


3) The other nine commandments are not “just
for Jews.” God wrote “Ten Commandments” on
stone, not just nine (See Deut. 4:12, 13; Ex. 20).Does “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” and “Do not bear false witness” apply only to Jews?


4) “The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord
thy God.” Exodus 20:10. God calls the Sabbath,
“my holy day.” Isaiah 58:13. The Bible never calls it “the Sabbath of the Jews.” It isn’t their Sabbath, but God’s.


5) The Sabbath commandment is for the
“stranger” too. The fourth commandment itself
says the “stranger” is to rest on the Sabbath.
Exodus 20:10. “Strangers” are non-Jews, or
Gentiles. Thus the Sabbath applies to them too.
Read also Isaiah 56:6.


6) Isaiah said Gentiles should keep the
Sabbath. “Also the sons of the stranger … every
one that keeps the Sabbath … for mine house
shall be called an house of prayer for all people ” Isaiah 56:6, 7. Thus the Sabbath is for Gentiles and “all people,” not just for Jews.


7) “All” mankind will keep the Sabbath in the
New Earth. In “the new earth … from one
Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to
worship before me, says the Lord.” Isaiah 66:22,23. Here God says that “all flesh” we will be keeping the Sabbath in “the new earth.” If this is the case – and it is – shouldn’t we start now?


cool Gentiles kept the Sabbath in the Book of
Acts. “The Gentiles besought that these words
might be preached to them the next Sabbath …
Paul and Barnabas … persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.”‘ Acts 13:42, 43. Here saved- by-grace Gentiles kept the Sabbath (see also verse 44).

9) “The law” [of Ten Commandments] is for “all
the world,” not just for Jews. Paul wrote these
words. Read Romans 2:17-23; 3:19, 23.

10) Luke was a Gentile who kept the Sabbath.
Luke was the only Gentile who wrote any New
Testament books (he wrote The Gospel According to St. Luke and The Acts of the Apostles). Luke traveled with Paul and wrote, “On the Sabbath we
went out of the city by a river side.” Acts 16:13. It was the seventh-day Sabbath, the memorial of the creation (see Ex. 20:11). Both Luke and Paul knew it.
