The Bible tells us that we should be presently keeping the 7th day Sabbath on this earth today, and on the new earth in the future, however, does the Bible tell us that we will also be keeping the Sabbath while we are in heaven during the 1,000 years? Do we also know from the Bible whether or not the Sabbath is being kept there now?

No response from anybody?

Doesn't the Bible say anything about this?

Isa 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

Daryl this verse seems to say that we will be observing Sabbath when we are redeemed.

Isn't that reference referring to keeping the 7th day Sabbath on the New Earth after the 1,000 years in heaven has ended?

Can this reference also be used to substantiate that we will be keeping the 7th day Sabbath during the 1,000 years in heaven?

Daryl, Yes I think that has to do with the new earth. I am still looking for the 1000 yr one, if there is one. I personally believe we will be keeping the Sabbath during the 1000 yrs. I can not imagine why we would not be. If the Sabbath, and it is, is so important to God that it will be our final test why would God not have us continue keeping it during the 1000 yrs?

Psalms 72:5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.

To Fear God is to obey Him.

To obey Him is to keep His commandments.

Deuteronomy 5:29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

Deuteronomy 6:2 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

Deuteronomy 8:6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

Deuteronomy 13:4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Q.- In Heaven does Mankind's duty to God cease ?

A. - No - Therefore commandment keeping does not cease.

Q.- In Heaven does Mankind's knowing God cease or increase ?

A. - Knowing God increases. 1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Q. Will any commanment breakers be in Heaven?

A. No - because to knowingly defy God, yet claim to know Him(be one spirit with Him RE: His claims upon you - is living a lie.)

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

No one making a lie or living a lie will ever enter Heaven. Living truthfully involves keeping all ten commandments for real. That means being grafted into the life & merits of Jesus. Jesus is the Lord of Sabbath, to cease entering into Jesus Christ's Lordship of Sabbath - declares yourself under a different lord. All who enter Heaven are sealed both righteous & holy, The Father's Name(Character) is within their foreheads. Sabbath keeping / breaking issues were settled in them well before time for Heaven.

The reason why I started this topic is because somebody attending the Revelation Speaks Peace meetings has accepted the Sabbath, however, feels that it can't be kept in heaven as there isn't any day and night there, so how can you determine one day from another if there is no night there?

How would you answer him from the Bible?

Hi all, If we are in the habbit of keeping the Sabbath on this earth, why would we stop for a 1000years and then start again when the Holy City is brought down to this earth?

Folks, I believe that during that period, we will be in the presence of God at all times. To be in His presence IS to worship him. My feeling is that this will be an era of fulltime praise and thanksgiving. As mentioned above, there will be no day or night (because of the constant presence of God's glory?) so time and day keeping would not seem likely but since we'll be worshiping at all times, we cannot help but be worshiping during whatever time would be Sabbath. This may seem simplistic, but what a time of joy that will be! AMEN!

Does either the Bible or the SOP shed any light on this?
