There's two places in the Torah, it
says, "Zachor v'Shamor." This is just to
me the if I were to say one thing that
is a
foundation of this idea for the nations
of the world, it would come down to this
one idea. Zachor and Shamor. Guard the
Sabbath and remember the Sabbath.
Because there are it's Jews and the
non-Jews of the world are not supposed
to be keeping it in exactly the same
way. There's different things. Jews,
just like we are nation of priests and
when you go to the temple, the priest of
the temple had their own set of laws
that were not at all applicable or very
unapplicable to the other tribes. It's
the same thing with the Sabbath. So,
there are nuanced laws and laws and
laws. It took us a year to even do a
cursory understanding of the laws of the
Sabbath. We're not saying that the
nations of the world need to keep that.
But what the aspiration is, I think, for
the nations is to remember the Sabbath,
to honor the Sabbath. And that could
look differently to different people as
they're on their journey. What that
means, and I think that a big part of
what the book is offering understandings
of what that could mean. Would you
>> agree with that. I'm not saying they
have to guard the Sabbath like a Jew. On
the contrary, I'm saying remember the
Sabbath, honor the Sabbath in any way
that you want, but just honor it. I'm
even saying I don't want you to stop
going to church. Go to church on Sunday,
but it's not a Sabbath. It's a day of
praise, a day of worship. It's when we
do our fellowship cuz that's a great way
to start the week. Start your week on
Sundays going to church and praising the
Lord.
>> go to church, you're not telling
>> I'm just saying guarding the Sabbath is
on the seventh day. It's a different
thing. I would love people to honor the
Sabbath on the seventh day and then do
whatever they want the other six days.
But Shabbat is a holy day. It's the only
thing in all of creation that God
blessed and he made holy. He didn't make
the land of Israel holy. He didn't make
the stars holy. He made one day holy and
he blessed that day. And so, I'm like,
"Gosh, it's blessed." What that means is
when you tap into that blessing, you
will be blessed. It's blessed by the
Lord.
