“Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation.” Lev. 23:3.
Note.—A convocation is an assembly of people.
14. Does the New Testament teach the same duty?
“Let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Heb. 10:24, 25.
15. What does Malachi say of those that fear the Lord?
“Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord harkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His name. And they shall be Mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.” Mal. 3:16, 17.
16. Will the Sabbath be observed as a day of worship in the new earth?
“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before Me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me, saith the Lord.” Isa. 66:22, 23.
Note.—“Thou hast made us for Thyself, and our heart is restless till it find its rest in Thee.”—St. Augustine.
