THERE IS MUCH CONFUSION TODAY ABOUT SHABATH.......
WHAT IS SHABATH ? noun -(among Sephardic Jews and in Israel) the Sabbath. "strict adherence to Shabbat as a day of prayer"
SHABATH has become so menial in our societies today that it has been reduced to this explanation in our dictionary, the Hebrew Concordance gives us a bit more understanding:
Result of search for "shabath": 7673 shabath shaw-bath' a primitive root; to repose, i.e. desist from exertion; used in many implied relations (causative, figurative or specific):--(cause to, let, make to) cease, celebrate, cause (make) to fail, keep (sabbath), suffer to be lacking, leave, put away (down), (make to) rest, rid, still, take away.
Of course the best place to look for understanding is the Scripture and this has also been fiddled with by religion. These people seem to want to cover up and confuse the commandments. Keep in mind, Yahusha renewed the Covenant, so the instruction of Shabath actually still stands. Here are the instructions of Shabath given to Mushah on the stone by Yahuah:
EXODUS 31 :12-17.
"AND YAHUAH SPOKE TO MUSHAH, SAYING, "AND YOU, SPEAK TO THE CHILDREN OF YISHARAL, SAYING, 'MY SHABATHS YOU ARE TO GUARD, BY ALL MEANS, FOR IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN YOU AND ME THROUGHOUT YOUR GENERATIONS, TO KNOW THAT I, YAHUAH, AM SETTING YOU APART. AND YOU SHALL GUARD THE SHABATH, FOR IT IS SET-APART TO YOU. EVERYONE WHO PROFANES IT WILL CERTAINLY BE PUT TO DEATH, FOR ANYONE WHO DOES WORK ON IT, THAT BEING SHALL BE CUT OFF FROM AMONG HIS PEOPLE. SIX DAYS WORK IS DONE AND ON THE SEVENTH IS A SHABATH OF REST, SET-APART TO YAHUAH. EVERYONE DOING WORK ON THE SHABATH SHALL CERTAINLY BE PUT TO DEATH. AND THE CHILDREN OF YISHARAL SHALL GUARD THE SHABATH, TO OBSERVE THE SHABATH THROUGHOUT THEIR GENERATIONS AS AN EVERLASTING COVENANT. BETWEEN ME AND THE CHILDREN OF YISHARAL IT IS A SIGN FOREVER FOR IN SIX DAYS YAHUAH MADE THE SHAMAYIM AND THE ARETS, AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY HE RESTED AND WAS REFRESHED".
So, upon reading this you have read SHABATH instruction. You have also been told that men have lied about Shabath. Actually no matter what men say Yahuah has declared Shabath, to be an Everlasting Covenant. If you choose to do Shabath as instructed by Turah, you will know the blessing Yahuah puts on this day.
