You're quoting lsaiah, and the comments are made to those who live under the old covenant.
The priesthood continues to work for God, even during the weekly sabbath.
Let's begin with Genesis 2:1-3. This is not about man's week; it's about God's week. Genesis 1:1-2:3 provides a prologue to the whole of scripture by laying out each day as a thousand years. Hence, the sabbath day of rest in God's prophetic week is the seventh millennium, a 'day' of rest that...
There is no mention in Genesis of God giving Abraham a commandment to keep the weekly sabbath. Man's weekly sabbath was only introduced as part of the Mosaic law.
Yes, the sabbath of God's week is a millennial sabbath. And it's quite wrong to mistake man's weekly sabbath with God's weekly sabbath.
2 Peter 3:8 also speaks of the day/thousand year connection.
There clearly is ambiguity in scripture, and l understand that God intended it to be that way! Why else would so many Jews not be able to see Christ in prophecy?
Tell me, do you think Abraham kept the weekly sabbath?
There's ambiguity in what you say because obedience to God's Word should really be understood to mean obedience to Christ through faith in His righteousness and love. But what you are suggesting is the obedience to God's word is obedience to the letter of the law, not the Spirit of Christ.

I believe you have fallen into legalism.
In John 5:17,18, it says, 'But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and l work.
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.'...
The mezuzah would not have been in use in Egypt, because the the words of Deuteronomy had not been revealed to Moses!!
The blood of the lamb was used to ward off the angel of death, not the words of the law, which at the time had not been revealed to Moses.
To my understanding, the living Word (Christ) reveals the written word, and, in return, the written word reveals the living Word. A beautiful cycle in perpetual motion.
I'd like to tell you a story.
Pop on the kettle, grab a biscuit, and...
Over forty years ago l was at university, many miles from home, feeling 'removed'. A very nice girl, l think she was Irish, shared the Gospel with me, not in a forceful manner, but gently and compassionately. She then left...
You have been shown many times that the full measure of God's Spirit rested upon Jesus. It's for this very reason that Jesus was raised from the dead, for had his righteousness not been the righteousness of God, he would not have been the unblemished Lamb of God!
What you are trying to argue...
The millennial Sabbath, or seventh day of God's week, is not the Sabbath of man's week. Fulfilment of the millennial Sabbath is not a requirement under the law.
So, when Jesus said, lt is finished, he meant that he had completed the work that he, as the Suffering Servant, had be called on to...
The reason l have not answered all your points is because l see them as legitimate arguments from a particular standpoint. The ambiguous text allows for such perspectives. The question is, have you been able to see that the text allows for more than one perspective? Have you been able to see...
What do you mean, WILL BE?!
Jesus Christ was a mediator on earth, dwelling amongst men. And, he continues to mediate.
Once again, you appear to miss the point. God the Father is unseen, but the Word/Christ is seen.
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power. This happened...
The angels that appeared to Abraham, lsaac, Jacob, Manoah, and others, all appeared in the form of men.
These people were not wrong to have claimed to have seen God 'face to face'. The issue was that they had heard the voice of the LORD, speaking with the authority of God, and had assumed that...
I'm fully aware of the origins of Pentecost, and it was, of course, this festival (Shavuot) that was being celebrated in Acts 2.
What you appear to be missing is the fulfilment of the law. In Christ, each festival is overlaid with its eternal meaning. No longer is Pentecost to be seen only as...
It's quite correct to believe that no man is God. It says in Numbers 23:19, 'God is not a man, that he should lie'.
However, Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and men.
1 Timothy 2:5. 'For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ'.
So, Jesus was...
