SHABBAT-SABBATH

In the Hebrew text, the word Shabbat appears 89 times. In the Greek text of the Brit HaDasha (NT), the word for Shabbat “Sabbath” appears an additional 63 times. This is an astounding total of 152 scriptural references to one single word! As a powerful point of comparison, the term “born again” appears only in the Brit Hadasha and only four times. The four occurrences are even more astoundingly paired together! The first pairing appears in John 3 and the second time together in 1Peter 1. It is profound. The Body of Messiah uses the term “born again” as a foundational concept –yet the Scriptural references of that very term are few and far between. However, Adonai, and specifically Yeshua/Jesus in the Brit HaDasha (NT), teach about the Shabbat in far more Scriptures and in far more depth.
