Part 1 - Creation: The Foundation of the Gospel
Overview: The Creation of Israel
Synopsis
The work of creating and establishing the nation of Israel was God's.
Israel's part was to trust and rest in their Creator. To make this clear to
His people, God used the creation of the world, God's subsequent rest, and
the establishment of the Sabbath day as a model. The Sabbath day is a sign
to Israel that Yahweh is the One who sanctifies them. Israel was set apart
to God as His special people by God's redeeming work. This sign is codified
in the fourth of the Ten Commandments. The Sabbath day sign of
sanctification points beyond Israel's rest in God's sanctifying work to a
rest available today.
