Sabbath Lesson from Pharaoh

And Pharaoh said, Behold,
the people of the land now are many,
and ye make them rest from their burdens.
Exodus 5:5

The word "rest" used here in Exodus by Pharaoh is the word for "Sabbath".

Just like before the deliverance of God's people form Egypt, which included a "Sabbath" revival followed by plagues---so too before the end will be a Sabbath revival (battle over the Mark-of-the-beast) followed by an outpouring of plagues. And God will once again deliver His people from "Egypt" (in this case spiritual Egypt which represents the rebellious world we live in).
