For all living upon the Earth there is nothing more precious than that of Living
In -Gen 1:1 In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.
2 And the earth was formless and empty; and darkness was on the face of the deep: and
the Spirit of Elohim moved on the face of the waters.Here we have a dark, formless, empty planet covered by water and it had no form of
life upon it. Elohim moved to make it a living, moving Earth and the first change
that was made was by the Voice of Elohim. Saying------
“Let there be light: and there was light..” As the words rolled around the
Earth, no doubt as it reads in Ps. 29:3 “ The voice of YHWH is upon the waters: The
Elohim of splendor thunders,” “Let there be light: and there was light.”
The Creation of Light, was the first form of life on Earth. All the forms of life on
the surface of the Earth function with light, and it goes on to say -- Gen 1: 4 And
Elohim saw the light, that it was good: and Elohim divided the light from the darkness.
5. And Elohim called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
there was [ day] and there was [ night ]
.[......LIGHT...............]......dusk and there was [ DARKNESS ] dawn, .
evening day ONE morning
.1........................................................................one day, ............................................1...
Each day the voice of Elohim thundered around the Earth producing life in it’s
many forms until the seventh day, and when the--7th DAY DAWNED-- the sun
shone upon the Earth in all it’s new and sparkling splendour, then Elohim finished
His Work.
Gen 2: 2 “And on the seventh day Elohim finished his work
which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he
had made.
3 And Elohim blessed the seventh day, and set it apart ; because that in it he
rested from all his work which Elohim had created and made.”Mark 2:27 “And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man,..” Elohim made
the Rest Day for the man of His Creation , in order that he might rest and “Remember”
the gift of life that had been given to the whole of creation, and especially to mankind
who had been made in the image of the Creator.
“Remembrance Day” ! for the greatest event in the history of the world , and a
rest each 7th day for all of Humanity .We notice that this 7th day was “set apart” from the rising of the sun until the
following rising of the sun , when started a new round of seven days, one week.
Life being basic , for without life there would be ‘no’ existence of all that we enjoy,
and ‘no’ people upon the Earth. Creation of Life on this Earth to us is the most
important Event of all time.
Elohim was very pleased with the new world condition. This new world was put
under the hand of man, with his counterpart to help him, as is so well stated in -PSALM 8
O YHWH, our Sovereign, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who has set Your
splendour above the heavens!
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have you established strength, Because of your
adversaries, That you might still the enemy and the avenger.
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars,
which you have established;
What is man, that you are mindful of him? And the son of man, that you visit him?
For you have made him but little lower than Elohim, And encircled him with
copiousness and splendour.
You make him to have rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things
under his feet:
All sheep and oxen, Yes, and the beasts of the field,
The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, What ever passes through the paths of
the seas.
O YHWH our Sovereign, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
Lifestream Version 1995
YHWH Elohim made a covenant with those who love life and wish to enjoy it , we have
examples of this, see the life of Noah, Gen .6:18 “But I will establish my covenant
with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your
sons' wives with you.” So Noah and family had their lives preserved.
Then we have Abram who lived in harmony with the principles of righteousness, with
whom YHWH made an everlasting covenant. This covenant was also established with
Isaac , Ya’aqob, and with Israel as a nation.
Being in covenant relationship with the Creator of life on this Earth carries with it the
promises and blessings of the covenant, an “Eternal Inheritance” meaning a place to
“LIVE”. This means not only a place to live but the promise of LIFE it’s self.
Israel as a nation made a Covenant with YHWH. These are the words of the Covenant
20:1 And Elohim spake all these words, saying,
2 I am YHWH your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the
house of bondage.
3 You shall have no other elohim before me.
4 You shall not make unto you a graven image, nor any likeness of any thing that is in
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them, for I YHWH your Elohim
am a jealous Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, on the third
and the fourth generation of them that hate me,
6 and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my
commandments.
7 You shall not take the name of YHWH your Elohim in vain; for YHWH will not hold
him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it set apart.
9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work;
10 but the seventh day is a sabbath unto YHWH your Elohim: in it you shall not do
any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your man-servant, nor your
maid-servant, nor your cattle, nor the stranger that is within your gates:
11 for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is,
and rested the seventh day: wherefore YHWH blessed the sabbath day, and set it
apart..
There is only one reason to set apart the seventh day of rest, for YHWH made it for man
that he might rest and remember that his life comes from his Creator and it is not he
himself who sustains life within himself. It is given to him as a memorial , hence the
admonition REMEMBER TO SET IT APART.
For all who are in covenant relationship with LIFE and YHWH will remember the
memorial of Creation. When YHWH created life on Earth He set Mankind in charge.Some might think that there has been a change since the Messiah came to the Earth.
Mal 3:6 For I, YHWH, change not; therefore you, O sons of Ya’aqob, are not
consumed.Heb. 13:8 Yahushua Messiah is the same yesterday and to-day, yes and for ever.
Paul speaking to the Corinthians says,1 Cor. 10:4 “ and did all drink the same spiritual
drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the Rock was
Messiah.”
See Ex 17:6, Num.20:10, Duet 32:4, Matt 16:18.
We see that Israel was led by the Creator, and that same one, the Rock was also the living
Word, Ps.33: 9 For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
Ps.33: 6 By the word of YHWH were the heavens made, And all the host of them by the
breath of his mouth.John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word
was Elohim.
2 The same was in the beginning with Elohim.
3 All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that has
been made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew
him not.
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his splendour,
dignity as of the only begotten from the Father), full of favour and truth.We must understand by these passages of Scripture that creation was performed through
Yahushua who also worked in the directing, and leading of the patriarchs, and Israel as
they came out of Eygpt, it is the same one who was born of a woman, Gal 4: 4 “but
when the fullness of the time came, YHWH sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born
under the law,” See also Heb.1:8,10.This same Living Word, the Rock, The Arm of Isa.53:1 was the one who created all
things and set up a memorial, a rest day to remember this act of giving life to this
Earth and for those who are in covenant relationship He states in Ex 31:16,
“Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath
throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days YHWH
made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.”
Heb 4:9 There remains therefore a keeping of sabbath [ Gr.sabbatismos] for the people
of YHWH.If you are in covenant relationship with your Creator, you love your Redeemer, the
one who is the Creator, the Life giver, then you will delight yourself in the memorial
day of rest when you can enjoy the time with your Loving Saviour and Creator, and
those who also delight to praise Him for the Life He gives and the eternal life you
can have in Him.
Yahushua said in John 10:10
“I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.”The Word of Elohim Made you and that same Living Word Redeemed you.
He is the same yesterday today and for ever. It is good to read the promises of
YHWH in the following. Isa.56:1-8; 58:13,14.Will you celebrate Earth’s Greatest event
together with all those who praise the Creator for their life,
on each remembrance day ?
