The Sabbath was from the creation of 7 days it is figurative of the entire period of this creation! To the conclusion and His objective is His rest or resting place forever.
He rested on the seventh day!!
The first ordinance was the Sabbath (as that is the object, it is emphasized by the rigid enforcement of the Sabbath laws, stoning to death Num 15v36 because he despised had no regard or value for the living God, was not dedicated to nor set apart (Strongs 6942). He waited 2500yrs to activate this figurative rest looking forward to His rest or conclusion, for a people to be with Him on that day, and on the actual day to be His elected, His jewels, His treasures. The value of being His chosen people is such a beautiful thing His elect must value the beauty of this priceless gift! Sabbath they regarded not, He emphasizes this again in Jer 17v21 they obeyed not nor inclined their ear!
Israel under valued this election so desperately that is why they were cut off. The Christian religion does not even value it, the election, most just consider (it is just a religion) not that it is the gift of the life of the living God. (There is great guilt to this religion, it is rejected also as Israel was)

He rested, He was not tired, He is the living God, this statement is to show his desire for a people His goal is revealed at the beginning, He is seeing this creation completed at the end of the 6 thousand yrs, the word RESTED in Strongs 7673 to come to an end, cause to cease. Then His Sabbath is in action at the end of this period the Sabbath of a thousand yrs, & thereafter perpetual forever to be with the Lord a simple statement but the treasure that statement carries is the beauty of the Life of God! The Bible is not just words it carries with enlightenment by His spirit.

There is nothing in this creation that can give the value to the Beauty of the living God, to what can you compare this beauty how to give a value how precious is He? this beautiful wonder of life. There is nothing in this creation that can carry His beauty, Jesus carried His beauty and was killed by the Jews of the time, it is now carried by His Spirit and His word only. Words alone can not carry his beauty except by the Holy Spirit of God.

When sight is far more than can be seen
When sound is far more than can be heard
When smell is far more than can be smelt
When taste is far more than can be tasted
When feeling is far more than can be felt

Then you have the life of the living God who surpasses all of human senses and values humanity has no way to then explain this beauty, as nothing that humanity has can carry His beauty.

But not to all as it can not be received unless you have the new birth seed of election,
the transmission of the spirit finds no receiver, no life to be glad & rejoice at the signals from the spirit of the living God. Having ears to hear & hear not having eyes to see & see not that’s what the prophets say Isa 6v9&10 & Jesus said this to the elders of Israel. To tell a person that is not invited by Him about this beauty, they have no ears they will not hear, this is not by the invitation of man but of God only. A man can receive nothing except it be given him from heaven John 3v19 & many are called but few are chosen Matthew 20c16-22v14.
The conclusion of this creation is the final Sabbath it will be continual! Night & day are finished, there is no night there, you have entered His Sabbath, (He has caused to cease) entered His rest, it is back to His light that shines forever to give us the light of His countenance, the full beauty of the living God. The light of the sun is not needed any

more! Day & night are finished!

1. light 1st Let there be light (Strongs 216) by extension light of face, or let it be expressed, let it be revealed, the conclusion in Rev 22v4 and they shall see His face, this creation is finished. this light was not the light of the earth but the heavens! as the sun & the moon were created on the 4th day. This light is His light above this creation was the first day, it is the day that is forever continues again in Rev, when it is His light that shines! Thinking only why, the first thing must be to show Him to reveal His Light or His beauty, heaven then reveals the difference between good & evil as Satan was cast out of it, he is used in this creation to prove us to try us, then at the finish he is cast into the lake of fire. The heavenly host had not all followed Satan & fallen as in the creation of man, they are not created in the same manner as us in this creation, born of father & mother. They did not inherit as us in a fallen creation, hereditary iniquity the fallen angles choose to follow Satan. The fall was through one Adam but it was then hereditary to all through birth in this creation! We were then in the domain of Satan we were then servants of or at least subject to Satan.
That is why the fall was planned in the beginning of creation, with the fall of the first Adam, because it is the first purpose of creation that all would be under the fall to enable the creation of a redeemed and elected people, by the pouring out of His life, it was concluded from the beginning.
His plan of creation, this is the Living God it is impossible for all things to have so called gone wrong, & then He has to put it right. By the sacrificing of His priceless Son created in His image, He was going to see His own life poured out given, it was going to be His own life that was going to be poured out, it was He that was suffering in Christ Jesus, the creator of heaven & earth to express his longing to manifest His heart, the depths of the Soul of the living God this is such a wonder for His people to understand. The value of His people is established by the price He paid to redeem them only, there is no other value that could be given, a person outside of the Kingdom of life will not be able to see or understand this wonder, it is for His elect to rejoice in it only.
It was the plan of creation.
Like the fourth day of creation He created light Strongs 215, but in the first day light was already created, why? The first light was in heaven above! This is the light of the world this is Him the first born of all creation, to divide light from darkness! That is a statement of the purpose, to show His goodness, to give the value to His beauty, to show His wonders, it is declared in the first day to divide the light from darkness. What does John say the light shinned in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not, John 1v4 the life was the light of men v7 bear witness of the light, v8 he was not that light but bear witness of that light, v9 that was the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, v 10 He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not. To them v12 gave He power to become the sons of God even to them that believe on His name. v13 born not of blood nor of the will of man but of God!

Satan is cast out is the first day the separation, as He does through all this time be ye sanctified or separate, His people.
Look at the fourth thousand yrs from creation this light that shone is this new light of the new creation in Jesus. The fourth day is a figure of the light that would shine in Him the last Adam on that real fourth day.

To divide the children of the day from the children of the night

2. Firmament 2nd (Strongs 7549) space that holds visible objects. This firmament is the divide the great gulf fixed between us & them so that no one can pass from here to there or there to here as Luke 16v26 (Strongs 5490) chasm, as in the firmament, an expanse. He has created the divide in the beginning the separation. From the beginning He divides makes a clear difference in all things, it is irreversible, but by one the Son of life Jesus! This chasm is the great gulf that is at the end of this period of time, foreseen here that will separate His elected jewels, His sons & heirs of the promise shall be called & separated.

3. Waters under heaven the earth & herbs trees 3rd

4. Lights 4th to divide day from night greater lights day the sun, night lesser light the moon reflects the greater light in the same way we reflect Him, (the seasons Strongs 4150) (tent of meeting) designated times, season. A time for all things, as through to the conclusion of the 7000yrs times of covenant changes seasons, or days the 4th day. Then it is His light shines on the children of the day, in the fourth day of a thousand yrs, in the person of His Son Jesus. John give the beauty of this light ch 1v4,5,7,8,9. the light of the fourth day was looking forward four thousand yrs to this light that came down from heaven, in the person of Jesus as John testifies to this wonderful light of the world. John Ch3v19 ch 8v12 I am the light of the world. Ch9v5 ch 12v35 to 46 Mat 4v16 Luke 2v32 to lighten the Gentiles ch11v33 that they which come in may see the light

5. Creatures moving fouls water fish living creatures 5th

6. Cattle & everything that creeps & man v27 in His image 6th
In this sixth day, He shows forward to when, He created complete His everlasting man for ever, in the life given by Jesus, now is the end of the sixth day of a thousand yrs His creation of His heavenly man is done, what must follow is His rest. The 7th day is His rest & we hold that priceless invitation to enter. The sixth day again looks to the final fulfillment of the fullness of the creation of heavenly man ready for the Sabbath that will be the final Sabbath forever & ever to be with Him the wonder of all life.
7. On the seventh day His work was ended
God blessed the seventh day

The Sabbath
1. It was not reckoned or required for the next nearly 2500yrs at the Exodus in BC 1500
2. It is one of the most prominent & important ordinances in the Levi covenant, it was active in that covenant for 1000yrs until the complete & utter rejection of Israel & Judah, when He cut them off as His elect.

They were already observing the sabbath16v22 they had gathered twice as much the elders told Moses. But no person told them to gather twice as much! They had already been told to take only an O-mer per person, Moses had already been angry with them for taking more. Yet in v23 he says it is OK. There is an abundance of this man-na from heaven, don’t just lay it up & let it stink. This is the real covenant there is an abundance of man-na from heaven don’t just leave it to rot consume this bread of heaven that Jesus spoke of which is Him the life of God. As 2 Cor 8 v15 he that gathered little had no lack Paul sure understood the relativity of the gathering of man-na, not to let the full truth be under valued don’t let it just rot this priceless truth feed it to all His people now it is time.

It is NOW the end of a second period of 2500yrs the man-na is ready prepared, Sabbath is near! Its time to seek it with all your heart, the true beauty of God by His spirit you will find Him if you seek Him with al your heart Jer29v13.

Why when it is of so great importance (the Sabbath)………2500yrs…………as stated Ex 16v23 the seventh thousand yr period you must have it, or you will not find it, as it is the Sabbath v26 there shall be none. Caused to cease it is the rest

He had not a people to rejoice in the Sabbath prior to the Exodus, it was kept until the time of His people & family.
This allegory must also be relevant to His heavenly sons and heirs chosen and elect, they will come together for the exodus from this world???? It is 2500yrs since the complete fall of the allegory sons and heirs chosen and elect. He will not tarry
