1
Barnabas discusses Shabbat.
2
He cites the creation pattern: six days of work and the seventh day of rest.
3
He interprets the six days apocalyptically as six thousand years, using the saying that a day with Elohim is as a thousand years.
4
He says the seventh period represents the future cessation of wickedness, Judgment, cosmic renewal, and true rest.
5
He argues that complete Shabbat holiness cannot be realized while corruption remains active.
6
He then cites the prophetic rejection of corrupt new moons and Shabbat observance.
7
He says the rest accepted by Elohim is the renewed rest after all things are made new.
8
He identifies an 'eighth day' as the beginning of another world-order.
9
He says the community therefore rejoices in the eighth day, associating it with Yahushua's resurrection and manifestation.
