The Sabbath
God resting on the 7th day
Why would God need to rest on the Sabbath and be refreshed? Isn’t God not supposed to get tired? (This is a question about the nature of rest.) (Ex 31:17)
How come God put so much emphasis on the Sabbath? (Jer 17:21-27, Ex 16:27-29) It’s also one of the first parts of the Law given. One might say it was even before the Law. It was mentioned even before the 10 commandments. (Ex 23:12)
Why do we have to remember and repeat the days of creation through a weekly pattern of work and rest? I don't see what the big deal is. I can remember that God created everything without this. (Ex 20:11)
Why did God decide to let the land of Judah lie desolate according to the number of Sabbaths that the land had missed? Why this criteria? (II Chr 36:20-21)
