Sabbath and Early Christians, Part 3
And with the demonstration that the old law has been consummated, Tertulian also says that observance of the Sabbath “is demonstrated to be temporary” and so what Christians observe is not a weekly Sabbath, which is a Sabbath temporal, but a Sabbath eternal. Calling the weekly Sabbath human rather than divine, carnal rather than spiritual, merely a prefiguring, a foreshadowing, a type which points forward to the future or what is to come.
