In Leviticus 23:3 we read that the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation (מִקְרָא קדֶשׁ). You shall do no work. It is a Sabbath to the LORD in all your dwelling places. The gematria of the phrase, You shall not do any work (i.e., כָּל מְלָאכָה לא תַעֲשׂוּ) is 953, the same value as the verse: Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will act (Psalm 37:5). If we trust in the LORD by refraining from our own devices, He will work for us, acting on our behalf, so that we find rest for our souls. This is the true principle of Shabbat - resting in Gods provision of grace. As the Sabbath above, so the Sabbath below. Therefore there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered Gods rest has also rested from his works as God did from His (Heb. 4:9-10). #Boom #Shabbat #KnowtheTruth
