However, Isaiah 56 seems to be referring to the time after Jesus, so the New Testament era that we are living in. I’m not convinced of that, since, a) the LORD kept the Sabbath, b) He gave it to man as a gift, c) the punishment in the OT was death for not hallowing the Sabbath, and finally d) it was an opportunity for us to honor God.Īnd yet I struggle, since all the churches I have attended since I left the Reformed church, teach keeping the Sabbath is no longer relevant. I have been wrestling with the keeping of the Lord’s Day / Sabbath as the church teaches today that that is an Old Testament teaching and no longer applies to the church of today.
One of the things you didn’t comment on was the three-time repetition of the keeping or defiling of the Sabbath. In my daily devotions I was reading Isaiah 56 yesterday.
