Finding Messiah in Triennial V’ki amuk
This section of Scripture concludes a chiastic structure begun in Emor:
The law of the Sabbath, and the law of the Sabbaths, surrounds the proclamation of death for those who do not leave Egypt, that is, the kingdom of darkness. Sabbath is a beautiful picture of rest in Messiah.
“Come unto Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” Mat 11:28-30
Sabbath is a picture of grace through faith. We have to exercise faith and trust in YHVH to not work on the seventh day, to not sow our fields in the seventh year, and to cancel debts in the Jubilee. The seventh day, the seventh year, and the Jubilee, all the Sabbaths, prophesy of the seventh millennium of rest we will enjoy under the kingship of Messiah Yeshua.
Can the Scripture speak any more plainly? The physical structure of this chiasm is proclaiming death swallowed up in life, in Messiah, in grace, in rest, in not working to earn salvation; in trust, in faith, in honor and obedience of YHVH for He is God. Yes, obedience walks hand in hand with faith and rest.
The law of the Sabbath is the law of grace.
