Obvious

 "Now let us examine how God describes the Sabbath commandment when He is giving it to Israel in the wilderness at Mt. Sinai. 

Q: Does He say, “I am now going to bless the Sabbath”? 

A: No He says, “Remember the Sabbath day.” 

The meaning of “remember” is to call to mind a past event or experience of some kind. Israel was commanded to “remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” Exodus 20:8. 

Q: Why?---Because God was now going to bless it? 

A: No, God tells Israel to “remember” the Sabbath because God had already blessed it, long ago. 

Q: What could possibly be more obvious?"
