How can "Christ on earth" be a time of God's resting? It seems to me to be just the opposite. Christ on earth, the Holy Spirit moving in our lives and hearts and families, can only invigorate the planet.
(I'm web-tv disadvantaged, Alamo-girl, so I'm having a difficult time accessing your entire post. I'll change computers and read it.)
I look forward to your further comments!
Hebrews speaks of a rest to come but from what I understand, once you are in Christ (peace beyond understanding) even on this earth and in His kingdom now, we have a sabbath rest, for "we dwell with Him in heavenly places". I suppose many deny this as well.

In THAT sense, how can GOD, ALMIGHTY GOD OF THE ANGEL ARMIES
EVER
BE CONSIDERED OR EVEN IMAGINED
TO REST?
Yet, HE SAYS, on the 7th day, HE RESTED. Whatever that means.
Still holding all the subatomic particles in proper everything . ..
HE rested.
Guess it’s that thing Angel-Gal talks about our linear logic not fitting . . . the middle what’s-it.
I think in terms of THE MILLENIUM . . .
IT IS TO BE A SABBATH PRIMARILY FOR MAN AND FOR THE EARTH
Perhaps for Creation.

You have yet to answer one question I’ll now ask again publically . . .
AT what point ASSUMING my construction on Biblical prophecies . . .
at what point in prophetic fulfillment do you decide yours need adjusted?
[I’d also be interested in any of the other . . . Preterists responding, if they are brave enough]
1. The world ruler overtly declaring himself?
2. The Mark of The Beast required for every financial transaction?
3. The 3rd Temple rebuilt?
4. The world ruler consolidating his power overtly—in formal charge of all countries?
5. The North American Union?
6. The Gospel being published to every language group?
7. The rise of the False Prophet with dramatic miracles accompanying?
8. The TWO WITNESSES calling fire down from Heaven routinely?
9. The TWO WITNESSES bodies lying in Jerusalem for 3 days in view of the world?
10. The image being brought to ‘life’ speaking etc. ?
11. The Resurrected Anti-Christ after his mortal wound?
12. WHAT?

Now what was my other question . . . I forget.
In fact, in the futurst scheme Messiah the King is offering sacrifices, not resting, per the literalist reading of last chapters of Ezekiel.
