SPIRITUAL MEANING OF PROHIBITED SABBATH ACTIVITIES
The reason religious people fail to understand God’s meaning regarding the Sabbath is that they interpret the scripture literally. The real, spiritual meaning must be interpreted symbolically to understand what God means. The following is the correct way to interpret prohibited Sabbath activities:
| WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS | WHAT SCRIPTURE MEANS |
| Cease (i.e. rest) from all religious work every day. | |
| Do not participate in commercial religion as either a buyer or seller of religious commodities or services. | |
| Do not do any religious activity (i.e. works) that involves use of the physical body in the creation of, or worship of, idols. | |
| Do not make a pilgrimage to a religious place to participate in a religious activity. | |
| Do not anger God by participating in religion. | |
| Do not profane the New Covenant by failing to discern between good and evil (i.e. religion). | |
| Do not practice man’s religious laws. |
Clearly, these symbolic interpretations give a very different meaning to the Fourth Commandment.
