The Sabbath

So this is driving deeper into the idea that the realm of The Law (our reality) is a reflection of the realm of The Word (the realm which the realm of The Law is based off of, perhaps God's home realm, but also it is the power by which realms are created, so it's kind of in a superposition between realm and generation of realm, the way I see it). So aspects of The Law may translate aspects of The Word to us here, as dim reflections. I just got this flash of what that means for The Sabbath.

The Lord commands us to restrict action on The Sabbath, and not take anything into or out of our house either (Jeremiah 17:19-27). What if this is because there is a position, a restful position, where we cannot do work or move things into or out of our "house" or realm? What if this is meant like training for that day, and by setting aside a day here (or even being told to set one aside) we get prepared for that day subconsciously? I imagine building treasures in heaven, storing up sustenance, and preparing this "house" are all important things we are meant to learn through this portion of The Law. Even looking at reality logically, which is to say from the perspective of The Word where essentially what is agreed to (or depending on circumstances, what is declared) exists, I can picture that there would be lines along or pockets within where no "work" can be done. How one approaches these lines or pockets, therefore, becomes critical. Now I pictured that in the initial state of things this may have been like a prison, and may have been quite vast, but based on God's word it has been declared "rest" and so while we cannot necessarily glimpse the inside from here, we have the word of God and the commandments that relate to it in order to understand some aspects of its shape. It also may be the case that God cannot influence what happens to others directly in these pockets, which is why so much care is taken to prepare us for them on our own. This would also draw specific and structured importance to the role of Jesus, for the Son of Man is the Lord of The Sabbath, which in this context would mean that he could enter it for each of us and perhaps assist if someone got stuck there. As we see, Jesus primarily heals in these cases, where others felt he was breaking the commandment of The Sabbath, and this would be a reason why he was not in fact breaking that law (because of his unique position/sacrifice he could conduct these things despite the original restrictions). 

So now I am wondering why weeks are 7 days long. It has clearly been set up this way, a set up that has persisted since Creation, and even the specific creation of the years, lunar months, etc. seems to be primarily geared around this structure of 7 days, like a clue being repeated over and over again to all humanity. The only thing I can think of here is that whatever this fundamental structure is, 1/7th of it would likely be the portion that falls into these categories I describe, no work, no entry or exit. Why else would God structure so much around one day of the week?

It is also interesting to me that God rested on the 7th day, seemingly for one day, and in the end Satan will be locked away for 1,000 years. This is interesting when you consider each of these periods would fall under the category of Sabbath, such as separation and possibly rest. Then you consider the verses:

Psalm 90:4

"A thousand years in your sight
    are like a day that has just gone by,
    or like a watch in the night."

2 Peter 3:8

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."

A very interesting structure built in, indeed.
