If the sabbath had been made obsolete, the gospel writers, doing their work decades later would not have focused on it as they did.

May the Lord help you recover the Day. There is hope. The Children of Israel had it reinstititued in the wilderness after the Exodus and before the giving of the Law. "Remember" assumes something pre-existent that ought to be called to mind. The Sabbath did not begin at Sinai. It was from the beginning, Day #7.

Mike,

When was the Sabbath instituted for man? I understand the ordinance stems from creation but when was man first required by God to observe it? Was it not Exodus 16? I am just wondering. You stated above that Remember assumes pre-existence. Can't "remember" also mean something you are to observe based upon what you are being told at present?
