Genesis 2:2-3 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.… I. THE PRIMAL SABBATH. God's Sabbath. The end of the mysterious periods of God's creative operations, is the beginning of a new age in which all creation is intended to glorify God and be happy. II. THE PERIODICAL SABBATH. Made for man. A sign of God's care for man; and a memorial of the holy rest which man should seek to obtain. III. THE PERFECT SABBATH. The future rest in heaven. Unending joy and refreshment. Perfectly holy, perfectly happy; all things "very good." (W. S. Smith, B. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. |
