The Sabbath

Central to the Sabbath are light, bread and wine –

our celebration of "communion"

as a family!

Imagine the Lord saying to you, “I have a gift for you,” and while you’re wondering what His gift might be, He says to you, “I give you Sabbath!”

The Sabbath is far more than just one day out of the week to worship. It is the fulfillment of ALL that God would and will accomplish in His plan of salvation, which is so vibrantly illustrated in the Seven Feasts of The Lord! The Sabbath is a type and shadow of the rest and wholeness that we will experience in God’s greater creation – the completed works of Jesus, our Messiah!

Leviticus 23 is where we find the Seven Feasts of The Lord listed with their intended instructions. In describing the Feasts, God begins with the Sabbath. Passover through Tabernacles are spoken of as appointed times, and each of them are to be like a Sabbath. The Sabbath is the cornerstone of each Feast and the capstone of all the Feasts! Why? God was revealing, as the Host of these Feasts, that He Himself would be both the Provider and the Provision of His finished works! Friend, the Sabbath is the prefigurement, the silhouette type and shadow of Jesus Himself!

The word week in the Bible refers to the count or measurement of seven, whether in days, weeks, months, years or millennia. The seventh (day, week, month, year or millennia) is always referred to as the Sabbath. For an example, God rested on the seventh day. The land is to rest every seventh year and the earth will enter into rest on the seventh millennial day, known as the Millennial Reign of Christ. For those who think Sabbath is old school, you are mistaken; we are still within the millennial week. Consider what time it really is…
