Thus those, who acknowledge, that God ever “rested” say more about themselves and their ignorance of Scripture, than utter they the truth, concerning Almighty God. And this have you seen, and have gained some discernment and recognition of it, as the many many biblical authors demonstrate above: Through Paul’s evangelical pronouncements, for instance, you were a witness, and well could perceive…

You couldn’t fail to see this reality of Scripture on exhibit, in expression and patently displayed:

When biblical authors

Their God represent

Uniformly they share

This collective intent

Their portrayal of him

As Almighty is meant

To exclusively this

Alone do they assent

For the actual occupation of God throughout Scripture and all of reality is this, his brief “biographical sketch”, as reported by him (Exodus 20:22) in Exodus 20:11 (deMSby):

“Throughout 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…”

From which attention, God takes no “vacation”. He daily does this, continuously, always, without interruption, intermission or suspension: He never “rests”.

“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 “restored” “this day“: “It” has happened “this day”.

Yes: Effectively, “the seventh day” has happened “this day”. Consequently is “the seventh day” “restored” this day, and “restored” this day necessarily by God.

Which is why, sir and madam, you are told to “remember [right now and throughout this present day, today] the ‘day of the sabbath’ to make it holy”, or “sanctify it” (deMSby Exodus 20:8). For the “day of the sabbath” and earth’s seventh day, which “restored” is today first occurred simultaneously, to be the same day, which establishes the proper use of each, successive day. Thus, “this, your sanctification is [always] the [everyday, continuous] will of God” (deMSby I Thessalonians 4:3), and assigns how to “enter into” God’s daily “placing” (deMSby Psalm 95:11), which alone consummates “this, your sanctification” (deMSby I Thessalonians 4:3).

A. It More Local Is

Deuteronomy 5:12-15, though, offers us an instructive, informative perspective from which to look upon Exodus 20:11, and recognize much more immediately and practically how it instructs us: What it solicits as self-presentation and treatment of other people, and how this is addressed universally to each and every person, anywhere, at any time…

“For throughout 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…” (Exodus 20:11 deMSby)

For instead of this viewpoint of Exodus 20:11, which emanates of vision, that has no restriction, and cannot have a limit, but is universal, and literally and absolutely is all-observing, the humbler orientation of Deuteronomy 5 is far more restricted, altogether more confined, and focuses specifically on one certain people and on them primarily:

“You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out thence with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm” (RSV Deuteronomy 5:15).

This is more local. It much “closer” is.

For rather than indefinite and universal sight, the vision, which delimits, and defines the setting here is far more restrictively applied, and confined:

“You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out thence with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm” (RSV Deuteronomy 5:15).

Instead of God’s infinite and unrestricted vision, the vision used here is extremely more limited, restrained and enclosed.

It more local is. It much “closer” is.

For rather than unlimited and infinite horizons, the field of focus here is specific, more personal and more individual. But it most faithfully remembers, and recalls, “as Yahweh, your God directed you” originally (deMSby Deuteronomy 5:12), instructing you at first in Exodus 20:11 (deMSby).

B. As Experienced Specifically

For you see, in Deuteronomy 5:15, existential manifestation of God’s daily “placing”, and how this effected a person, who was present, in that one location and that group of people, but undoubtedly included in God’s universal, all-inclusive daily “placing” is reported, somewhat itemized, and summarized “in detail”. Imparted is the “happening” of God’s daily “placing” and actual involvement in God’s daily “placing”, as experienced specifically by “you”, who are present, in this place and time.

C. A Day-to-Day Chronicle

Of Exodus 20:11 (deMSby), what is the practical guise? Of Exodus 20:11, what is the tangible experience and involvement? What sensations actually convey to one’s senses, resulting from involvement in God’s daily “placing”?

Because: Through the Fourth Directive of Deuteronomy 5, such is available, and can be known, as personally recalled, and related by Moses:

“You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out thence with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm” (RSV Deuteronomy 5:15).

Reminiscing in behalf of traveling companions, and reminiscing just as surely for himself does Moses recall here his individual experience and thoughts and those of the many people, who traveled with him, while circumscribed by what God does, and does universally throughout this world of Exodus 20:11 (deMSby):

“For throughout 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…”

Which God directs throughout every subsequent day, and as well throughout Deuteronomy 5:15.

In perspective, then, Deuteronomy 5:15 cites a day-to-day chronicle of one’s participation in God’s daily “placing” and one’s particular place and experience amidst it:

“You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out thence with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm” (RSV Deuteronomy 5:15).

Recorded by Deuteronomy 5:15 is an everyday log of God’s daily “placing” and one’s part in it, for those, who companionship shared with Moses.

D. He Recognized How…

You see, Moses reconsiders here Exodus 20:11 (deMSby) as a local manifestation and a personal vicissitude, which one experienced, had witnessed, and seen:

“You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out thence with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm” (RSV Deuteronomy 5:15).

Moses visualized this extensive daily “placing”, which happens universally, and must occur globally, according to the record of Exodus 20:11 (deMSby) as a local consequence and a personal occurrence.

He recognized how it involves individuals, amidst situations and circumstance, which were familiar to them. And of which, they had their own experience, perceiving it as happening directly to them.

Because: That it is, from a personal perspective and eye-witness vantage.

“You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out thence with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm” (RSV Deuteronomy 5:15).

Of God’s “placing” in Exodus 20:11 (deMSby), this is a narrative reported by Moses, recalling daily, practical, and localized happenings, which are specifics of that universal Exodus 20:11 “placing”, when reckoned from particularly an Israelite’s perspective.

Deuteronomy 5:15, therefore, cites a day-to-day chronicle of one’s participation in God’s daily “placing” and one’s own particular experience amidst it. Recorded by Deuteronomy 5:15 is an everyday log of God’s daily “placing” and one’s place in it, for those, who companionship shared with Moses.
