The part in the commandment itself where it clearly states it was given to the stranger foreigner non native non Israelite...even the animals were to receive rest...the part where God says the Sabbath was made for man not just Israel...the part where whosoever believeth in Him will Love Him and keep His commandments...
The Sabbath was for the foreigner within the cities/congregation of Israel and for those who joined their community - which required circumcision. But the Sabbath was not given to the nations. This is why God gave the Sabbath to Israel only, their animals included, not the animals of the entire earth.
God did not say the Sabbath was made for man in the OT.
Keeping the Sabbath was not a commandment in the NT.
If you are going to quote verses from the Mosaic Law and think that all of them are to be kept, then you have a whole lot of work to do to keep up to speed on them - and I really do not think it's going to be pleasant for you. Start at Ex 20 and keep on reading to end of that book, just for starters.
The part where at creation He made EVERYTHING for ALL mankind but you think He kept Sabbath for Israel...at that creation man was created in His image to do as He did...since He rested on the seventh day we should too...that is the patterned example
God never told anyone to rest on the Sabbath Day but the children of Israel.
The part where Isaiah says all nations will come and worship Sabbath to Sabbath...the part where Paul is clear we who are of Jesus Christ are grafted into the trunk and root of Israel...that root and trunk keeps the Sabbath...
Paul did not say we are grafted into Israel. We are grafted into Christ Jesus. Those from all nations who come to Jesus Christ as in His Sabbath Rest. Jesus said that all the law and prophets were fulfilled concerning Himself. Jesus did not keep the Sabbath Day. You keep ignoring the fact that He said He did His Father's work on the Sabbath.
He didn't have to...they volunteered to leave Egypt and journey into the desert with a foreign God to receive His literal Sabbath day rest...Exodus 12:38 makes that clear that they wanted to go along...as later it is repeated the same Law for Israel and the non Israelite.
Those Egyptians were considered part of Israel. They were no longer Gentiles. Exodus calls Israel a mixed multitude, and as part of Israel, they were given the Sabbath. The Sabbath was not given to the Gentile nations, not ever. In fact, the Sabbath was never given to the Gentiles, even in the NT.
