The Sabbatism.

“THERE remaineth a Sabbatism [i. e. a keeping of the Sabbath] to the people of God.” This must relate to one of two things. 1. It is the antitype of the seventh-day Sabbath, kept by God at creation; or 2. it is the observance of the weekly Sabbath in the future kingdom of God. But it cannot be the antitype of the weekly Sabbath, for that Sabbath is to last as long as the new earth, and hence can have no antitype; for an eternal type is a self-contradiction, inasmuch as there is no room for an antitype. But this Sabbatism must be the keeping of the ancient Sabbath, for we do know from Isaiah’s testimony that it shall be observed in the future rest of the saints.
