When God “ceased” “on” the world’s “seventh day” “from all his work, which he necessarily had to have made“, this “ceasing” or “sabbath” could not have “completed” his involvement and his occupation with that day.

“And on the seventh day, God completed his work, which he necessarily must have done. And on the seventh day had he already ceased from all his work, which he necessarily had to have made” (deMSby¹ Genesis 2:2).

Such could not end “his work” that day: Having “ceased” at the time of the seventh day’s dawn “from all his work, which he necessarily had to have made” neither ended, nor stopped “his work” that day…

And it neither would allow God occasion for “resting”, which ever more certain becomes, and appears through proper translation of this biblical wording:

“And on the seventh day, God completed his work, which he necessarily must have done. And on the seventh day had he already ceased from all his work, which he necessarily had to have made” (deMSby Genesis 2:2).

Indeed, rather than end God’s seventh day labours, his having “already ceased” “on the seventh day” “all his work, which he necessarily had to have made” actually launched “his work”, and started “his work”, that was to be “completed”, and finished that day, and was to be continued, starting with that day, and continuously maintained, beginning that day.

Such introduces “work”, which commenced that day; and it had continuation throughout that day; and it was to be continued throughout future days, as indicated here by Genesis 2:3 (deMSby):

“And God bestowed abundantly upon the seventh day, and had made it holy. For in it, he had ceased from all his work, which God had created for the sake of further use“.

Which couldn’t have allowed God Almighty to “rest”.

A. Throughout That Day

Thus while he stopped, discontinued, or “ceased” his “creating, and making” on the six previous days, he didn’t then begin to do absolutely nothing. While God ended, or “ceased” his endeavours at shaping, and establishing the elemental world, he didn’t then simply commence hibernation. And neither did he then begin to be idle, or just “take a nap”:

For just as the seventh day had its commencement, God “ceased” construction and making of the macrocosm, which makes the seventh day “the day of the ‘ceasing’” or “day of the ‘sabbath’”.

“Remember the day of the ‘sabbath’ [or ‘ceasing’] to make it holy”, or “sanctify it” (deMSby Exodus 20:8).

Thus with occurrence of that day’s start, God had “already ‘ceased’ from all his work, which he necessarily had to have made”, by the time he embarked on sanctification, and could make the seventh day altogether holy, and holyize fully its finished, total inventory.

With which he was involved that day, “which he necessarily must have done”. Because: As Genesis 2:3 (deMSby) says, and says unequivocally, God “sanctified”, or “‘made’ it ‘holy’”:

“And God bestowed abundantly upon the seventh day, and had made it holy. For in it, he had ceased from all his work, which God had created for the sake of further use” (deMSby Genesis 2:3).

Thus while God discontinued, or “ceased” his creation and construction of the six previous days, he didn’t then simply commence relaxation.

We this confirm…

While God stopped, discontinued, or “ceased” his endeavours at the manufacture of the world’s host, he didn’t then simply commence “his retirement”. He neither then “rested” (KJV Exodus 20:11), nor could be “refreshed” (KJV Exodus 31:17).

B. “Of the ‘Sabbath’” or “Ceasing”

For starting on “the day of the ‘sabbath'” or “ceasing”, the day God “ceased” his labour at “creation”, he began causing “this, your sanctification”, and spent the entire day at that objective. He began exclusive concentration on that, and still inducing that is he just now:

“And God bestowed abundantly upon the seventh day, and had made it holy. For in it, he had ceased from all his work, which God had created for the sake of further use” (deMSby Genesis 2:3).

Thus this “seventh day” and its sort of universe “restored” are today, and are every day, and are being sanctified, or made holy.

“For throughout six days, Yahweh made the heavens and the earth. And on the seventh day, he ceased; and ithas been restored” (deMSby Exodus 31:17).

And you will cooperate, and will participate, or disobey what “is” God’s “will”, “this, your sanctification” (deMSby I Thessalonians 4:3), as Exodus 20:11 (deMSby) has previously shown.

And this explains why we now are advised to “remember the day of the ‘sabbath’ [or ‘ceasing’]”, the day God “ceased” manufacture of the cosmos, “to make it holy”, or “sanctify it”², and to be committed to this one intent, to accomplish it now, as first did God on “the day of the sabbath”:

“Remember the day of the ‘sabbath’ [or ‘ceasing’] to make it holy”, or “sanctify it” (deMSby Exodus 20:8).

Of this are we to make constant “practice” (Exodus 31:13), achieving “this, your sanctification” today resolutely, as God first exemplified this. For thus he “set” an “example” of how you fulfill, and accomplish “the will of God”, “your sanctification”, achieving at present what he first achieved, as Exodus 20:11 (deMSby) now accurately shows.

C. Comprehensively

“Throughout” what is meant by “the day of the ceasing”, the day God “ceased” his construction of the universe, “your holyization” became God’s task, as is it just now, on this present day, whether or not this day is the week’s seventh day. And this subsequently became God’s task, and exclusively his only task is now, which he ever does every day of the week, not simply when coincidental to the seventh day.

“For throughout six days, Yahweh made the heavens and the earth. And on the seventh day, he ceased; and ithas been restored” (deMSby Exodus 31:17).

And this explains why all challenged are now to “remember” right now, on this present day “the day of the ‘sabbath’ [or “day of the ‘ceasing’”], the day God “ceased” his construction of the cosmos “to make it holy”, or “sanctify it”.

Because: God “set” an “example” of such, which we need to follow, to do God’s “will”, “this, your sanctification”, accomplishing today, what he first achieved, as Exodus 20:11 (deMSby) now rightly reveals, as the text of the foregoing Section exhibited.

D. Why “Example” Is Needed

But this explains why “example” is needed. “For this, your sanctification is the will of God” (deMSby I Thessalonians 4:3). Thus it conscientiously must be fulfilled, and judiciously done.

It absolutely properly must be done, actualized, and fulfilled. Thus how it is done can not be entrusted, or left to conjecture or mere imagination or to some inaccurate Bible translation.

Because: It “the will of God” is, and fulfills.

Compliance it is with divine stipulation: Accomplished it is, only as its original “example” first did.

And this explains why “example” is needed. “For this, your sanctification is the will of God” (deMSby I Thessalonians 4:3).

“For throughout³ six days, Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all, which is in them. And he placed them in the seventh day. Bountifully, therefore, did Yahweh bestow upon the day of the sabbath, and had made it holy” (deMSby Exodus 20:11).

As God achieved on “the day of the ceasing”, you are yourself to achieve this day. “For this, your sanctification is the will of God” (deMSby I Thessalonians 4:3), as Exodus 20:11 (deMSby) now accurately shows.

E. Without Interruption

And again, God directs this without interruption, allowing no occasion or chance for his “rest”. For “ludicrously inappropriate” is such here: This urgently required his diligent involvement throughout all “the day of the ‘sabbath'” or “ceasing”.

For had God, the Almighty have “rested” (RSV Exodus 20:11), and have been “refreshed” (RSV Exodus 31:17) on the world’s seventh day, and allowed himself a “break”, or “suspended temporarily” holyization, he, then, couldn’t have sanctified, or holyized all “the day of the sabbath”. And to some extent, it would be but “partly and incompletely sanctified”, which is effectively what tradition teaches⁴.

¹Permit me once again to submit this reminder: This representation, “deMSby” is signification of the use of the de MontSabbathby Version, the author’s translation of biblical Scripture. (And, incidentally, de MontSabbathby is phonetically pronounced, and accented as if spelled “d’Maunt Sábbathbee”). But any scripture quoted by this book, which is not from the de MontSabbathby Version will always distinctly be cited as such, while denoting that version from which it is cited, KJV (King James Version) or RSV (Revised Standard Version) etc.

²There is much more clarification to come, regarding what “sanctification” and the word, “holy” mean, and how one exemplifies practice of such. But in the book, This, Your Sanctification, First Remembrance, an Orientation (soon to be published by de MontSabbathby at deMontSabbathby.org), there is definitive information on this.

³Before the translated words, “six days”, it is important to position, and use the preposition, “throughout”. Because…

In KJV Exodus 20:11, for example, and all such traditional translations, there is an enigmatic, unexplained interval of time, which appears to begin presumably late on the sixth day, when God seems to have finished his construction of “heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is”:

“For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is…”

Here, it appears, that God “made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is” “in six days”, not six complete days, which means 5 complete days and a portion of a sixth day, which unequivocally seems to record, that God finished his construction of “heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is” at some time presumably late on the sixth day, not at commencement of the dawning of the seventh day…

But this eventually incites such inquiry, as is given utterance through this curiosity: What did God do between that time, on the sixth day, when he finished his agenda of construction of the universe and that time, on the seventh day, when he started his siesta of seventh day “rest”?

For as indicates Exodus 20:11 above (KJV), this question seems both constructive and legitimate and worthy and deserving of a sensible response.

But this inexplicable interval of time derives solely from the incorrect use of the preposition, “in”, where these words, “in six days” (KJV Exodus 20:11) are concerned. For properly the words, which so rendered are should be accurately translated “throughout six days”, not “in six days”. And this you can recognize immediately solves, and conclusively explains the aforesaid enigma and its apparent “unexplained interval of time” as well as divulging the misguidance of tradition.

Where, incidentally, tradition has not eclipsed linguistic accuracy, traditional translations show rightly an effectively identical expression [e. g. Exodus 23:12; 31:15 and 34:21]. The which must mean, that, they inconsistent to themselves are, as well as being inconsistent to Scripture, in their contradictory display of these scriptures.

⁴For if God genuinely “rested the seventh day”, while he “blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it” (RSV Exodus 20:11), he simply could not have “hallowed”, made holy, or sanctified exhaustively each and every instant and each and every atom of the seventh day’s universe. And for at least some interval of time, during his having “rested”, and done that exclusively, his actual sanctification of the seventh day was suspended and inoperative. It had to stop.

Which ultimately means what logistics require: To at least some degree and at least some duration, it was unfinished, and was incomplete.
