The Sabbath was instituted at creation, and was made for all mankind, not just the Jews. There were no Jews in existence at the beginning.
Genesis 2:2-3 ...'And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.'
Mark 2:27 ...'The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.'
When was the Sabbath 'MADE,' or as the original Greek says, 'to be, or come into existence'? Just look at creation week and the 4th commandment. We are told in Genesis 2:2-3 that God rested the seventh day and then blessed the 7th day and sanctified it, or set it apart for holy use. So the 7th day of the week was set apart for holy use right from creation week. And God also confirmed in the 4th commandment, as we stated above, that the 7th day of creation week IS THE SABBATH DAY. So when was the 7th day Sabbath 'made' or 'came into existence'? At creation. And Jesus confirmed it was made FOR MAN. He didn't say it was made for the Jews, because there were no Jews in existence when the Sabbath was 'made.' And that word 'man' in Mark 2:27 means 'mankind' in the original. But there were people in existence. Adam and Eve. This is why Jesus said the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. Adam and Eve were created on day 6, BEFORE the Sabbath was instituted on day 7. Thus the Sabbath was 'made' for man - ALL MANKIND. Which is why God confirmed that even the stranger who wanted to join himself unto the Lord should keep the 7th day Sabbath:
Isaiah 56:3-8 ...'Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, The Lord hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, EVERY ONE THAT KEEPETH THE SABBATH from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for ALL PEOPLE. The Lord God, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.'
Wow. Do you see? God didn't just institute the 7th day Sabbath for the Jews. He 'made' it for ALL MANKIND, as Jesus confirmed in Mark 2:27 and as the above verses confirm.
