Rev 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven
, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— 7
saying with a loud voice,
“Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come;
and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
Direct quote from the 4th comamndment
Exo20:11 For
in six days
the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Our salvation is from sin Mat1:21 no one is saved in sin Heb10:26-30 and if we allow God to define sin, it is breaking God's Laws 1John3:4 James2:11, why they sit under His mercy seat where justice and mercy will come together soon.
Mark 1:15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”
The good news or gospel is Jesus died for our sins and we too can be free of the bondage of sin though Christ if we repent, which means turn from and abide in Him. If we are in Christ we would be doing what Christs asks and not rebel Rom 8:7-8 why He calls on if we hear Him Heb3:7-13 so yes God's Law- His version is very much part of the gospel message.
The saints get to meet Him in the air when He returns. He calls on everyone, sadly many use their will over His.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here
are those who
keep the commandments of God and the faith
of Jesus. What is the faith of Jesus what He taught and how He lived. Jesus kept the Sabbath Luke4:16 and never once changed it, He promised He would not change His commandments, not a jot or tittle Mat5:18-19
Christ knows who is in Him and is not, we can't hide anything from Him Ecc12:13-14 He will sort out the wheat from the tares, but He said plainly not everyone who says Lord Lord will enter into heaven, those who do what He says, obey Him, the way He said and not what feels right to us or is popular with the world. Mat7:21-24 Luke 6:46-49 Mat7:13-14 Mat15:3-14 Mark7:7-13
Jesus never fulfilled the Sabbath commandment so we can profane it, just like He never fulfilled the commandment for murder so we can go commit murder.
The rest in this verse is not the Sabbath rest, His rest is from sin
Psa 38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger;
neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.4
For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
If we go to Him and ask for His help in overcoming our sins, He will help us, this is the rest He speaks of not that we can profane His Sabbath commandment. The rest He gives is not the Sabbath- the Sabbath is about resting from
our works and labors on the seventh day so we can keep the Sabbath day Holy Exo20:8-11 to honor Him on His holy day Isa58:13 so we can spend sanctified time with God on the day God set aside and blessed and sanctified.
There is no rest in disobedience Rev 14:11 and that includes the 4th commandment.
Isa 48:13
Oh, that you had heeded My commandments!
Then your peace would have been like a river,
And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
Jesus said come to Me and I will give you rest and still kept the Sabbath day holy as a holy convocation Luke4:16 so obviously His rest didn't delete the 4th commandment. We would actually need a verse for that and there is none. Also God has always had more than one rest throughout the entire Bible, never once does it say it deletes the 4th comamndment. In fact the opposite is said, those who enter His rest also (which means they do something in addition) they also cease from their works Heb4:10 as God did on the seventh day Heb4:4 Exo20:11 because God's people are made in the image of God to do what He does and follow Him that comes with His power of blessings and sanctification. Never did Jesus tell anyone not to keep the Sabbath commandment.
Actually that's what one is doing when they don't keep the Sabbath according to God Eze20:16 Eze20:24 I am advocating we do what God asks over and over again in the Scriptures. Not only did He speak this He personally wrote it our plainly so we will have no excuses once He returns. Its a test of our loyalty Eze20:20
The antichrist doesn't care what you do as long as you are not obeying God the way God asks because anything less is rebellion.
Heb5:9 And having been perfected,
He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,
If God blessed and sanctified Tuesday and told us to keep it holy, would are we to replace it with a different day. He was very specific, the seventh day, He came down from heaven and even wrote it out.
Exo 20:8
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but
the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.
In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who
is within your gates. 11 For
in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that
is in them,
and rested the seventh day. Therefore
the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath, never did He say He is Lord of the first day. The Sabbath is the Holy Day of the Lord, thus saith the Lord Isa58:13. God made a sign between Him and His people if we hallow the Sabbath day Eze20:20 its a sign of His sanctification Eze20:12 and He blesses us when we keep it Isa56:2. Sad so many people deny this over someone man made instead.
