>> “But there is still no intimation of Sabbaths in the Bible until the time of Moses.” <<

Said the blind man!

Genesis 2:2-3

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Said the blind man!
Genesis 2:2-3

Said the ignorant man, chiming in on the tail end of a discussion where this issue was brought up before, and dealt with in the CRI article posted:

There is no universal moral obligation given in Genesis 2 to keep the Sabbath.
Christ’s finished work on the cross, moreover, abrogated the Mosaic law,
and thus the fourth commandment no longer applies to Christians.

If you want to add some new information, find another angle. The context of your citation shows no more information regarding any application to the human circumstance. On the seventh day of the creation week, Adam was perhaps less than a day old. Jehovah Elohim (the name to the Godhead applied by Moses, the writer of Genesis) gave no instructions whatsoever to Adam about it, nor even that He mentioned it. Elephants or lobsters don't "observe Sabbath"; why Adam?

Adam had only one command, with the consequences stated. When The Fall occurred, there was no command to reserve any day for worship. You are trying to make an argument on your opinion of what you would like that passage to say. That is eisegesis, not exegesis.
