You seem to disregard Yeshua’s words, “the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”
I just want a gregorian calendar follower( I used to be) to explain how after 40 years in the wilderness patiently instructing Israel about His eternal truths and absolutes like His Sabbath and His feasts, that the first command counter to His law, would be have those Israel holymen and warrior men to leave their camp and their families and use the Sabbath to not only wage war, but on the seventh day described in Scripture, to spare no life in Jericho, but those with Rahab.
Now Scripture doesn’t note that it was done on the Sabbath. Just on the seventh day of the march.
It may be a very easy explanation.
But if we look at it honestly, it just doesn’t make sense that after 40 years wandering in the wilderness, a Sabbath where YHWH’s seal is in it within the Commandments, Israel was given a mulligan in that Sabbath.
They had just celebrated their first Passover in the plains of Jericho.they were well aware of YHWH’s commandments and law coming out of the wilderness.
Maybe we should study if there were any other seven day wars in Scripture and check there. I haven’t done that study.
Maybe not many have ever pondered that question before.
It’s an honest question.
And the very next comment in Scripture after the victory is about a trespass committed by Achan taking a devoted thing at Jericho, and that angered YHWH.
And then we have Israel turned back and Joshua asking YHWH why..
YHWH answered and said it was because of sin of theft, taking of the devoted thing that they hid among their own stuff.
And those thieves within Israel cursed Israel with that theft, and were punished with stones and fire in chapter 7 (paraphrased)
So just a chapter later of the great victory by YHWH, a theft, a trespass of YHWH’s law, that changes not,
Israel is killing its own to have YHWH turn from his fierceness of anger for a trespass of His law.
What is a believer led to believe then?
I believe what Malachi states, I am YHWH, I change not. He doesn’t give mulligans.
One man trespass sin, and Israel is cursed until he is gone.
Can you square any of that with allowing Israel to trespass on ‘Remember the Sabbath day, keep it holy’?
Only one reckoning of time can explain it as a non issue to believers.
