“Jesus Entered into His Own Rest as God”

 

Why does the redemption from Egypt replace the creation motive in the Fourth Commandment? Because “the salvation of the Lord” literally occurred on the Seventh Day Sabbath. The date of the 15th of the Second Month is given – Ex16:1. The following days are “every day” numbered till “the Seventh” which is the Sabbath falling on the 21st. Counting back, the 16th of the First Month (Abib or Nisan) fell on the Seventh Day Sabbath. On “this day” Israel was “brought into the land” God swore to give his people. He swore it, Ex.13:11 that is, He accomplished it in his Word, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was brought from the “deep” on the Sabbath Day – Mt.28:1, 12:40 – by the excelling / exceeding greatness of his power which He worked when He raised Christ from the dead : Ephesians 1:11-12.
