13 The Seventh Day Rest is for Offering (04-Num 28)
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: Number 28:9-10 Num-28#v9
""'On the Sabbath day, you shall offer two male lambs a year old without defect, and two tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering mixed with oil, and its drink offering: this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.
