Body: | Click to View The Sabbath is an Old Testament shadow or anti-type of heaven
and was never intended endure past the cross.
God gave the Jews many physical anti-types that were replaced with new
meaning in the New Testament. Incense, priestly garments and the Sabbath,
for example were abolished and replaced with prayer, (Rev 5:8) good deeds
(Rev 19:8) and heaven (Hebrews 4:4-11).
Another outline to read: Hebrews 4 proves the weekly Sabbath was an
anti-type of heaven

Actual Sabbatarian argument: "The Sabbath was given before the fall of Adam
and cannot be a shadow because all anti-types and shadows were given after
the fall."
Sabbatarian argument refuted:
A. Sabbatarians overlook these 2 types in the garden of Eden which refute
their whole line of reasoning:
Adam was a type of Christ in the garden: 1 Cor 15:21-22; Rom 5:14
Tree of live was a type in the garden: Rev 2:17
B. God rested on the seventh day then afterwards He blessed the Sabbath!
Man sinned on the 6th day before God rested.
The Sabbath was sanctified after the seventh day (specifically in Ex
16).
Therefore if we apply the Sabbatarian argument to this, the Sabbath
could be an anti-type!
C. The Bible calls the Sabbath a shadow and an anti-type:
Colossians 2:16-17 "Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard
to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a SABBATH
DAY-THINGS WHICH ARE A MERE SHADOW OF WHAT IS TO COME; but the substance
belongs to Christ."
The Sabbath was ceremonial because it, like most of the ceremonial
laws of Moses, had New Testament anti-types.
