Dear John, Marilyn, and all doves,
      Thank you Marilyn for your kind and detailed response. It is only in recent years that I have asked why a Sabbath of day 7 was a command in the 10 statements or commands. In saying He is Master of the Sabbath, He then says that the Torah and the Prophets will remain and apply as long as there are Heaven and Earth.  In essence, it is about these being binding rather than loosed.The Earth will be here for His reign of the 1000 years as will Heaven with The New Jerusalem therein. Will the 10 commands only apply to the seed of Isaac on earth during the 1000 year reign of Christ/ Messiah? That would imply a kingdom come of a kingdom divided of seed of Issac or gentiles. Would the Kingdom Come be a oneness or a twoness? Would it be segregated? We know there will be a Sabbath in the Kingdom according to Isaiah 66. Which day might it be, day 7 or 1 or another?
      I honestly believe that the day 7 of every week is a day set apart from the rest of the week. I value day 7 each week because I want to follow His example. There was one day of Resurrection for our Master. If He lived to be 33 years old we can multiply 33 years by 50 weeks and get 1650 weeks and 1650 Sabbaths. He perfectly lived each one . In sincerity, Marilyn, I am not convinced that over 1650 Sabbaths for Him then changed to another day. As to when He rose again, it was before the women arrived at the tomb before sunrise of day 1. It is not clear to me if it was very late on day 7 or before sunrise on day 1.  There was little time to do the work with the aloes and spices before sundown. Would they have tried to do a rush job before sundown? I think they would have tried to do so . Sundown began the feast of Unleavened Bread. As you know, it was a Sabbath on which no work was to be done. Passover day was not an additional Sabbath. The work could be done on that day.The Master will lead us on some Sabbath day of His and Abba Father's choosing. May we look forward to each detail of living in His and Abba Father's Kingdom Come. Thank you again Marilyn.

With Love and Shalom,
Jean Stepnoski
