![]() ![]() God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it: God sanctified the seventh day because it was a gift to man for rest and replenishment, and most of all because the Sabbath is a shadow of the rest available through the person and work of Jesus Christ. We are on a seven-day cycle because God is on a seven-day cycle.ī. Though some through history tried to change the seven-day week (a ten-day week was attempted during the French Revolution), those attempts have come to nothing. The seven-day week is permanently ingrained in man. He rested to show His creating work was done, to give a pattern to man regarding the structure of time (in seven-day weeks), and to give an example of the blessing of rest to man on the seventh day. And He rested on the seventh day: God did not need rest on the seventh day because He was tired. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.Ī. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. ![]()
