Numbering the Sabbath
Ezekiel 20:12 And my Sabbaths I gave to them, to be for a MARK between ME and between them,
for them to know that I am Eloah the one sanctifying them.
Ezekiel 20:20 And my Sabbaths – sanctify them! And it will be for a MARK between ME and you,
to know that I am the Most High your ELOAH.
Isaiah 56:2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; keeping Sabbath, from defiling it;
and keeping his hand from doing every evil.
The Most High Eloah [Hebrew; God] informs us that the ones meeting with HIM at HIS Appointed Time- HIS SABBATHS- are the ones who will bear HIS MARK. These are HIS people; of which HE gives to HIS SON for safe keeping.
John 17:11 And no longer am I in the world, yet these are in the world; and I come to You. Holy Father,
keep them in Your name, those whom You gave to Me, that they may be one as we are.
John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name; I guarded those whom You gave to Me,
and not one of them was lost, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
We have to then ask, are we given to the Messiah for safekeeping if we don’t bear the MARK of His Father? It is the ‘son of perdition’ whose job it is to keep sinful man away from the Creator’s Sabbath.
Exodus 31:14 tells us that ‘You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defiles it shall surely be put to death: …’ Put to death because they are not one of His people for the lack of guarding the Sabbath. This is why it is HIS Mark.
Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth,
holding the four winds of the earth, that wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on every tree.
Revelation 7:2 And I saw another angel having ascended from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living Eloah…
Notice that the angel rising from the MORNING sun has JAHUAH’S seal- His mark.
Seal H2856 châtham : to close up; especially to seal; mark.
