SABBATH: Learn Why the Number 7 Is Used So Much in the Bible

On page one of the Bible, God orders a beautiful world out of chaotic darkness within a sequence of six days. And on the seventh day, God rests. This introduces the major biblical theme of patterns of seven that conclude with God and humans resting together as partners. In this video, we explore the theme of seventh day rest and the biblical concept of Sabbath. We also look at why Jesus adopted this idea as a major part of his own mission to bring God's Kingdom to earth.

My roommates and I started keeping the shabbath from friday evening to saturday evening and it is the most blessed time of the week for sure! I am so grateful every time we get to celebrate it :)

I never took that literally
When the Lord said come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens I will give you rest...
He really does give rest to those who come to him
I came to him recently
His spirit came to me and set me free .... praise God

I grew up in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, where everyone aimed to rest from all the things from the week, and focus on God and his blessings, from Friday Sunset to Saturday sunset. Now that the world is moving faster than ever - I can see how beneficial this really is.

Can we acknowledge how satisfying these sound effects are

Great video! I love the Sabbath. My family observes every Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. It's a gift from the Lord.

[LaymanScribe]

All these years I told myself that going to church was my sabbath. But now I have seen and know, that the Lord's day is better. And every week I sit and contemplate Him on Saturday. We start the day with Communion and then spend the day relaxing and thanking God. This is a better way to Live.

As a Seventh-Day Adventist, this video is such a sweet reminder of the 4th Commandment and also to always rest in the Lord on the Sabbath day of every week. Thank you Bible project.

When we hear of the depth of what the Most High intended in giving us the Sabbath, why would we not believe that it is still commanded and relevant today? The meaning of it still stands, as we taste this bit of the future Kingdom every week! It is not a burden but a beautiful gift! Every week I look forward to this day. Some weeks it's what gets me through, knowing that no matter how hard my work week is, rest is coming!
