The Great Blessing
There is a great blessing for all that keep the Sabbath, Isaiah 56:1-2.
1Thus saith Yehovah, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. 2Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
For those that keep the Sabbath, there is a great blessing. This is extend to the outcasts and those beyond the Children of Israel, Isaiah 56:4-6.
4For thus saith Yehovah unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; 5Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. 6Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to Yehovah, to serve him, and to love the name of Yehovah, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
The blessing is for the eunuchs, who were outcasts in Israel. It is even for the stranger, that was anyone that was not born of Israeli descent. God wants all to keep the Sabbath regardless of their race. God would give them remembrance in the future. Further in Isaiah 56:7-8.
7Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. 8The Lord Yehovha which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
So many talk about a house of prayer; however, that is only for those that keep the Sabbath. For those that keep the Sabbath as God prescribed, they experience God like no other. Their house is filled with joy and prayers are answered. God will gather these to His house. This is the great blessing of to be remembered by Him.
