As the sun sets it is the beginning of the Seventh Day and now God gives a Special Announcement , on this Seventh day He would rest and commune with them!

God looked at the work of the past six days and He pronounced it good; yea more than good – it was PERFECT! Then He sets aside a special day! The Bible puts it this way: “And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:3 

God made a SABBATH, (Sab= rest; Abba= Father; the Father's Rest) He rested from His work, not because He was tired, but in satisfaction of a job well done. He gave this SABBATH that He blessed and set aside as Holy, to the first couple. Their first full day on earth was to be a day of rest and communion with their God!

Two special gifts, instituted by the Creator have come down to man from Eden, the very beginning. In the perfection of the newly created earth God performs the first marriage and then invites the newly-weds to rest and commune with Him on the Seventh day! Then He sanctifies it – that is , He sets it apart as Holy. Nothing is more precious to LOVE than spending time together!

“I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.” Ec 3:14
