The leadership of the Jews were out of line with God in fact, it was their cunning that got the Romans involved in fact,
The Romans could not give a rats about the Jews, but the Jews had power within their own comunity of Jew's in fact only that the Romans were in control above them.

The Jewish Leadership even under Rome occupation were nothing to do with God at all in fact !
That's why Jesus came to lead his worthy people out of such power of this world in fact !

It was Carnal Man and carnal Religious that did not cut the mustard in fact ! what the Jews and Romans were under was Mans works ! devoid of God in fact !

The only ones who were worthy were the Jews who became the first Christians in fact ! why ? because they became born again, they seek the Kingdom of God !

(Sabbath means "cease/stop" as well as 7th or ending) Also of importance is it is a singular and not plural. There is no collective singular in the Hebrew language.
hello friend, I completely and totally agree with you, one thing i have noticed is that the Hebrew word for " sleeping or resting " is expressed in two words


1.... “ נוּחַ - nûach . noo'-akh “ - Meaning ✒= to rest, settle down ; let fall down, comfort, lay down, let down, quiet down

And the other Hebrew word for rest is


2... . “ שֵׁנָה - shênâh . shênâ' - Meaning ✒= literally to sleep


However , the Hebrew word “
וישׁבת is the Hebrew word - shâbath -

this is the Hebrew word used in - Gen 2:2 ✒::2 on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he “ Ceased / RESTED “ on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.


Here are all of the passages where this same exact Hebrew word -
shâbath - " וישׁבת " is used - and what this word means in the manuscript intent.

Gen 2:2 rested - Gen 2:3 rested -

Gen 8:22
cease - Exo 5:5 rest - Exo 12:15 put away - Exo 16:30 rested - Exo 23:12 rest - Gen 27:44 wait - Exo 31:17 rested - Exo 34:21 rest - Gen 45:10 stay / dwell - Lev 2:13 lacking - Lev 23:32 rest, - Lev 25:2 keep - Lev 25:18 stay / dwell -Lev 26:6 rid - Lev 26:34 rest - Lev 26:35 rest - Deu 32:26 cease - Jos 5:12 ceased - Jos 22:25 cease - Rth 4:14 left - 2Ki 23:5 put down - 2Ki 23:11 took away - 2Ch 16:5 cease -2Ch 36:21 kept Sabbath - Neh 4:11 cease - Neh 6:3 cease - Job 32:1 ceased - Psa 8:2 still -Psa 46:9 cease - Psa 89:44 cease - Psa 119:119 puttest away - Pro 18:18 cease - Pro 22:10 cease - Isa 13:11 cease - Isa 14:4 ceased - Isa 16:10 cease - Isa 17:3 cease - Isa 21:2 cease - Isa 24:8 ceaseth - Isa 30:11 cease - Isa 33:8 ceaseth - Jer 7:34 cease - Jer 16:9 cease Jer 31:36 cease - Jer 36:29 cease - Jer 48:33 fail - Jer 48:35 cease - Lam 5:14 ceased - Lam 5:15 ceased - Eze 6:6 cease - Eze 7:24 cease - Eze 12:23 cease - Eze 16:41 cease - Eze 23:27 cease - Eze 23:48 - cease - Eze 26:13 cease - Eze 30:10 cease - Eze 30:13 cease - Eze 30:18 cease - Eze 33:28 - cease - Eze 34:10 cease - Eze 34:25 cease - Dan 9:27 cease - Dan 11:18 cease - Hos 1:4 - cecase - Hos 2:11 cease, - Hos 7:4 ceaseth - Amo 8:4 fail - -

In fact the Hebrew word “✒ שָׁבַת - shâbath - is very closely resembling the word “ sleep שֵׁנָה

sleep שֵׁנָה - shênâh . shênâ' - meaning = literally to sleep, - - shênâh . shênâ' - meaning = literally to sleep,


shâbath and shênâh - are very closely related, but the vowel markings are the only difference -

שָׁבַת and שֵׁנָה

at the bottom of the characters. also ...... - the middle character " Bet - בַ - " which is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet in " שָׁבַת - shâbath " and is is different in that.........

also the middle character " Nun -
נ - which is the fourteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet in “ שֵׁנָה - sleep


and also the first characters of each word are different " He, hei: - ה " the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet
the twenty-second letter of the Hebrew alphabet, ...... ... Tav ת


and they are not pronounced the same and more importantly, not used in the same context at all whatsoever.


I do believe that this passage in -
Exo 31:17 is also mistranslated

Exo 31:17 for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed


The manuscripts say… Exo 31:17 for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he CEASED his spirit, saying that God ceased his - spirit


with the Sabbath, the main focus was to cease, stop, halt and finish come to an end of your labor,

not so much focused upon the crawling into your bed closing the eyes and resting or sleeping all day. But preparations were to be made, everything was to be set up for the day of ceasing from labors and focus upon the Lord and his commandments.

would honest translation and understanding would be to say on the 7th day God = Ceased or
Stopped or took away or put away his Spirit ..... this Hebrew word has absolutely nothing to do with resting . ? ?


can we say on the 7th day, God = Ceased or Stopped or took away or put away his Spirit ..... and that we can understand from the manuscripts that this Hebrew word really has nothing to do with resting when we take a look at the manuscripts

Sisters and brothers when you read about the law having a shadow of good things to come, and the law that was our school master to bring us unto Christ, it was not referring to God’s holy commandments but the animal sacrifice law. Also we have to understand that the levites are out of office so all those laws that were for the levites to do for the people are nail to the cross, alone with the animal Sacrificial laws.

Daniel the prophet foretold the doing away of this law. (Dan 9:26-27) And after threescore and two weeks shall Mes-si’-ah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. Now we know that Jesus is the Mes-si’-ah, and cut off means to be killed, and Jesus didn’t die for himself, but for the sins of the people. (v.27) “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.” When Jesus died on the cross he caused the sacrifice and oblation to cease. This signified the end of the law of animal sacrifice, not Gods Royal law.

Paul explained this in; (Hebrews 10: (v.1) For the law (what law, the law of animal sacrifice?) having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. (v.9) Then said he, (Jesus) Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first that he may establish the second. (v.10) By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

The point that is not understood is that we all have sin, but until Jesus came, there was no way of getting out from under your sins. So God institute a Priesthood and laws that went with the priesthood to control the sinning, and so the Lord use animal Sacrificial laws, even though it could not remove sins.

When Jesus died on the cross that was the end of the first covenant, which consisted of the blood of animals and the keeping of God’s commandments. And his death also brought in the second covenant, which consist of the blood of Jesus and the keeping of God’s commandments. (v.18) Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. In other words, no more animals are going to die for your sins. (20) by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; (21) and having an high priest over the house of God; (v.26) For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.

Now do we understand what’s being said here? If you sin willfully after you have knowledge of what the truth is, no more animals are going to die for you. (v.27) But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. Now if you are being deceived into believing that once you are under God’s grace you no longer have to keep his commandments, all you have to look forward to is the day of judgement and the lake of fire (fiery indignation).

Amen, I do believe in Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of the law. what a wonderful God we serve.

please notice

Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulfillment of the “ OF THE DIVINITY “ bodily.


does this mean that all and complete knowledge of potential hidden, likely, possible and conceivable and plausible or thinkable things that God could ever be or know was fulfilled COMPLETELY in Jesus ?

" OF THE DIVINITY - and Jesus fully fulfilled all of these things and is the completion and full embodiment of God.


a man was literally God himself on earth, this man was the Spirit Holy of the Father manifested in the flesh,

this man was a physical manifestation of God’s invisible spirit which was the fulfillment,

fulfillment - meaning = the completion, accomplishment, performance, achievement, - of God’s divinity to mankind



This Greek word Divinity / Divine

“ divinity “ has a meaning that is much more than to just simply posses an attribute of deification, worship veneration, glorification, exaltation, and worship.

But the word “ DIVINITY “ here, is applied to the God of the Bible to indicates his Omniscience, all knowing - and power of divinization, knowledge of the future discerning, forecasting, foretelling, perceiving and prophesy as fore - knowledge of predestination.

all of the knowledge of potential hidden, likely, possible and conceivable and plausible or thinkable things that God could ever be or know is fulfilled in Jesus " OF THE DIVINITY - and Jesus is completely and fully the fulfilled physical and spiritual representation and manifestation all of these things.
