This Best Summarizes

Where indispensably must we perceive… To “remember”, in Deuteronomy 5:15 is a reminiscence of an unpleasant scene and situation, when one’s compulsory and necessary presence in this scene’s environment required, that one be exceedingly exploitable, susceptible and vulnerable, which expounds the import of these pregnant words: “You shall remember, that you were a servant in…

“Your Sanctification”

For you see, we have in Deuteronomy 5’s Fourth Directive a paradigm and demonstration of what is needed to “follow” God’s “example” of “your sanctification”, throughout each and every day and any possible situation. Plainly what personification of this “example” must mean, and affirm to be like this “example” are here provided with most useful…

Chapter 26
A Practical Example

But here again, we progress to arrive at enlightening, informative and edifying tutelage, where God exemplifies “your sanctification”: A practical example of this God conveyed. To which, every person present had been party. They had participated in its event. For each had a rôle, and had each been involved in God’s daily “placing” in Exodus…

Chapter 25
One’s Place in It

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…

What Say the Scriptures? Conclusion

Which all must be thought upon, and studiously weighed. It must be deliberated, and keenly contemplated. What we have seen in the previous chapters must now be assiduously pondered, and considered. Prodigiously it deliberated must be, that prepared are we, truly ready are we, and sufficiently instructed to treat realistically, and answer academically these certain…

What Say the Scriptures? In the New Testament

Within the canon of the Bible’s New Testament, God’s “resting”, after his making “the heavens and the earth, the sea and all, which is in them” is again recalled to our attention, as our traditions would seemingly suggest: Four times (Acts 4:24-28; 14:15-17; 17:24-25 and Revelation 10:6-7), there is obvious reminiscence of this agenda of…

Emphatically Shunned

If, furthermore, God’s “resting” from over-exertion were an actual, historical happening; and if such were validated, and was recorded by the Law’s Fourth Directive, there are those commentators, included in the Bible, whose writings would preclude their omission of said “resting”. Their undeniable reference to the pertinent subject matter and substantive discussion of this subject…

What Say the Scriptures? Nehemiah and the Sabbath

Of course, a most serviceable example of dependence upon Moses for specifically the origin and explanation of the sabbath is provided by the Old Testament’s book of Nehemiah. “But yet, I say, if imputation, and strong circumstances, which lead directly to the door of truth, will give you satisfaction, you may have’t”1. And for several…

What Say the Scriptures? Of the Word, “Sabbath”

Perhaps, it begins to appear by now; and it subtly suggested at length seems to be…It advisable becomes upon reaching this point: In order to be taught of God’s seventh day “resting”, one need but resort to those, many and diverse, later, Old Testament passages, which elaborate, and expatiate the sabbath, the which are themselves…

What Say the Scriptures? Continued

For the sake of a more thorough investigation, however, suppose, that we broaden our selection of specimen, and consider any passage, which refers to God’s rôle in the creation of the universe: Instead of examining only those scriptures, which literally recite of God’s having “made the heavens and the earth” as in Exodus 20:11 and…
