The common belief is the Seventh Day Rest (later known as Sabbath, or Shabbat) is not for a Christian, it is a "Jewish thing". And the Seventh Day Rest no longer needs to be observed because Jesus is a Christians Rest/Sabbath now.

Let's see what scripture says about that starting at the very beginning and then working from Genesis to Revelation.

Scripture: Leviticus 24:8-9

Every Sabbath day he //Aaron// shall set it in order before Yahweh continually. It is an everlasting covenant on the behalf of the children of Israel.
It shall be for Aaron and his sons. They shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire by a perpetual statute."

Define:

Who:

• Aaron, the High Priest, and his sons, the Priest on behalf of the congregation of Israel.

What:

• This is giving instructions to Aaron and his sons on maintaining the Lampstand, Table of Showbread, and Golden Altar of Incense. They are to refresh the bread on the Table of Showbread every Sabbath and eat what they take off.

When:

• Every Sabbath.
• Perpetural

Why:

• It is most set apart to Aaron and his sons.

Findings

The Sabbath is not for a "Christian":

• Christian's do not exist yet.

It is a Jewish thing:

• Jews do not exist yet.

Jesus replaced the Sabbath:

• Not yet.

Other Notes:

• This is specifically for Aaron and his sons, or the High Priest and the Priests.
• This is specific to the Dwelling Place of God - here it is the Tabernacle.
