45. Sabbath
from Wise Counsel · host RM Smith
In this episode of Wise Counsel, we explore the true meaning of Sabbath through the lens of Genesis 2:1–3. Was God’s “rest” about inactivity—or about His kingship over creation? Drawing on the insights of Dr. Michael S. Heiser and Dr. John Walton, we’ll see how the seventh day in Genesis is not merely a pause in work but God’s enthronement in His cosmic temple. Along the way, we’ll reflect on what it means to live under God’s reign every day, and how Sabbath invites us to reorient our lives toward His kingdom in a restless world.
