SHABBAT FEB 2009.pdf - Kanaan Ministries

13And He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you toperform, the Ten Commandments, and He wrote them on two tables of stone.14And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you the statutes andprecepts, that you might do them in the land which you are going over topossess.Note: for those who would challenge that the “keeping” of the Shabbat islegalistic / ritual / law I would ask why you would not say this of the otherCommandments?Sadly today, honouring of parents, the desire not to envy are also so watereddown that very simply we do not see these things as “something that we mustdo”.Exodus 31:12-17 “ 12 And the Lord said to Moses, 13 Say to the Israelites,Truly you shall keep My Sabbaths, for it is a sign between Me and youthroughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you[set you apart for Myself ]. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it isholy to you; everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoeverdoes work on the Sabbath shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Six daysmay work be done, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, sacred to the Lord;whoever does work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death. 16Wherefore the Israelites shall keep the Sabbath to observe it throughout theirgenerations, a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between Me and theIsraelites forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and earth, andon the seventh day He ceased and was refreshed.Nehemiah 9:13-15 “ 13 You came down also upon Mount Sinai and spoke withthem from Heaven and gave them right ordinances and true laws, goodstatutes and commandments. 14 And You made known to them Your holySabbath and gave them commandments, statutes, and a law through MosesYour servant. 15 You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger andbrought water for them out of the rock for their thirst; and You told them to goin and possess the land You had sworn to give them.4. God provides on the ShabbatWe have seen that the Shabbat is put into place in the Garden of Eden andgiven as a:1. A blessing and2. As a sacred day / time to all mankind.We also saw that Shabbat is later connected to our deliverance from Egypt /Pharoah when God proclaims the Ten Commandments.This deliverance is a prototype of a further fulfilment of God’s Redemptiveplan.Many years later Yeshua will come to earth, crucified and resurrected so thatwe can all be delivered from the kingdom of darkness.48
