From what I understand, if one can prove that the Sabbath idea was given prior to the Fall then it applies to all and is for all time and is not strictly related to the civil or ceremonial law.

Vos seems to say that there is an eschatological aspect to the Sabbath, that it points to rest in Christ and according to Hebrews 4:3 the "work" or Sabbath was complete from the foundation of the world.

I have heard that Calvin believed that the Sabbath could be celebrated everyday.

Palmer says that the three things given to Adam prior to a Fall are the Sabbath, marriage and labor. If this is the case the Christ coming would have nothing to do with it being abrogated.

Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and enjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward. Ecclesiastes
