Does that mean we are to keep the Sabbaths of weeks and months, as well as the Sabbath each week?
JLB
According to which scripture?
Exodus 31:12 Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep, Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. Exodus 31:16
Exodus 31:12-18, Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
We are suppose to be The Israel of God: was understood as a name for the Church here. Galatians 6:16

Wow.
Exodus 31:15 is very severe.
Do you guys put to death those who don't keep the Sabbaths according to the law of Moses?
Do you have any scriptures from Jesus or Peter or Paul about putting people to death for not keeping the Sabbaths?
JLB
Yes we do: Galatians 6:16/ 16 And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
Exodus 31:15 is very severe, yes it is very severe.
No we don't: Do you guys put to death those who don't keep the Sabbaths according to the law of Moses?
Do you have any scriptures from Jesus or Peter or Paul about putting people to death for not keeping the Sabbaths? No I don't have any scripture.
Brother!
That scripture does not direct us keep the Sabbaths according to Moses law.
Wishing i had better use of language.. this next question is not a snark and not meant to sound or be rude ... Do you let your lawn and other plants die every seventh year?
Do you have any scripture from Jesus or Paul or Peter that directs us to keep the Sabbaths according to Moses law?
What was the scripture then: Was it Galatians 6:14-16, and more like: Moses gave you the law, but none of you obeys it! ... The Lord Jesus says "Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? .... what they taught; nor could the most holy and righteous man among them perfectly keep it: John 7:19.

The real issue, which no one seems to have touched upon, is to whom were these words written, and how do they apply to Christians today (if they even do)?
The context of this verse is Isaiah 56:1-12, and it is crystal clear that these words are not addressed to the Church but to Israel, and in connection with the Old Covenant, but also reminding Israel that Messiah was to come very shortly (v. 1) . The Jews were constantly "polluting" the sabbath by engaging in commercial activites (Neh 13:15-22). Thus the injunction is repeated several times to not pollute the sabbaths (vv. 2,4,6), but to keep them holy. We should always remember that Judah went into a 70-year captivity because they failed to keep the sabbath of the land for 490 years! The land of Israel was to rest every 7th year, but Israel disregarded that commandment and paid dearly for it.
When we come to the New Testament and the New Covenant, Christ declared Himself Lord of the sabbath, and through His perfect finished work of redemption He set aside the Old Covenant and established the New Covenant. Within the New Covenant, believers have already entered into God's eternal sabbath rest. Hence the "sabbaths" of the Old Covenant are not applicable to the Church. At the same time, the day of resurrection -- the first day of the week -- was established by Christ as "the Lord's Day", the day when Christians meet to worship and also to rest. There is no sabbath-keeping for Christians, since the 8th day is the day of a New Creation, and all Christians are new creatures in Christ.
Jesus says in: Mark 3:4 New International Version Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?"
