R. F. C

By R. F. C.

THE Sabbath knows nothing of sin. It existed before sin entered into the world (Gen. 2: 2, 3), and will survive when sin is no more. Isa. 66: 22, 23. No type of redemption was needed before man sinned; and when his redemption is completed, and he is settled in his eternal inheritance, the new earth, he certainly will have no further need of shadows.

“The Sabbath was made for man.” It is for the whole human race. It knows nothing of separate nations or classes of men. It existed before any such distinction was known; and will exist when the redeemed of all nations are united in one in the new earth. To call it “Jewish,” is to contradict the words of the Lord Jesus, above quoted.
