The document discusses the biblical Sabbath, beginning with several passages about proclaiming God's judgment and glory. It then examines concepts of God's glory being his character, presence and light. Several passages are presented that link the Sabbath to God's sanctification and as a sign of sanctification. The Sabbath is described as a day of rest and rejoicing. God is identified as the creator who rested on the seventh day. Jesus' redemption work is connected to his rest in the tomb on the Sabbath. The document encourages choosing to serve the God of the Sabbath.

heaven, having to preach
unto them that dwell on the earth, and to
every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and

is come: and heaven,
and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of
waters. (Revelation 14:6-7 KJV)

which no man can approach unto (1

the light thereof. (Revelation 21:23 KJV)

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers
were as one, to make one sound to be heard in
praising and thanking the LORD; and when they
lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals
and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD,
saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for
ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud,
even the house of the LORD; So that the priests
could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud:
for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of
God. (2 Chronicles 5:13-14 KJV)

7. And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood
with him there, and
. And the LORD passed by before him, and
proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and
gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness
and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving
iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by
no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children, and upon the children's
children, unto the third and to the fourth
generation. (Exodus 34:5-7)
