Thanks for that.
I see it a little differently as to
how we are to keep, as to
what we are to keep or guard closely with all our heart soul and mind.
I would understand the two commandments working together as one. Which is again mentioned in the new testaments the golden rule. love the Lord our God and ones neighbor as oneself . So that in obeying God he works it out in us so that we can love our neighbor by bringing the good news .
The gospel or what is called the "true fast" is two fold in that way. We share our physical bread and other human needs along with the spiritual the word of God , or called manna. The bread of new life.
The two listing (Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5) of the same sabbath commandment that pertain with rest they have different reasonings' are ceremonial shadows . One the seventh day the other the departure from Egypt using the Jew as a parable for that time period 40 years. The time of testing or trial,. God does not give reasons for moral law (the remaining 9 commandments )
The word Sabbath is a non time sensitive word. The last day of the week was celebrated with a fast used to represent the true fast . (Isaiah 58 )The Holy Spirit would bring no manna on the first day . Twice as much was to be gathered so that the next day they could eat . It was common the manna was split into three kosher meals.
One day set aside from the normal work of maintaining these bodies of death by which a person could have the time to love his neighbor. The manna ceased when they enter the temporal Jerusalem signified as the heavenly unseen .A shadow of the true unseen city as the bride of Christ.
Entering the promised land would reflect children of light .The first day when God said let their be light. It represented the new era of Sabbaths that we are in
.But any day we do not have regular work needed is a good day to exercise the true fast. . . the gospel . The kind of fast that does with prayer drive out lying spirts called demons. Which the disciples at first could not. They knew not of that kind of food, not understanding the parable they remined faithless, confused .
The Youngs translation seems to fit the new era of Sabbaths .(fist day of the week) Changing the word rest into week . Would seem to mean people are still wandering around in the wilderness . And not representing the new Kingdom of priest that do offer the hidden manna. Men and women from all tribes all the nations of the world .
Matthew 28 Young's Literal Translation (YLT) And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre,
But even the Youngs
Literal Translation it seems mistranslate by replacing the word sabbath a non time senititive word with the word week .
When the bible was inspired the Greek had no word for week
Luke 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things -- as many as I possess.
It should read I fast twice in the Sabbath , I give tithes of all things -- as many as I possess.
Three meals were allowed. This leaves his bragging rights empty, void of any spiritual understanding. .
