Adventistische Schriften über: "How would Ellen White answer in a short sentence to the claim that the Sabbath was not created in Genesis, even though God rested?"

Ellen White emphasizes emphatically that the Sabbath was instituted directly at creation in Eden, when God rested on the seventh day, blessed it and sanctified it. She explains that the foundation of the Sabbath was laid precisely at the moment the creation week ended, and that it serves as a lasting memorial of the Creator's work. Thus God's day of rest is inseparably linked to the institution of the Sabbath for humanity.

The Institution of the Sabbath in Eden

»The foundation of the Sabbath was laid then. At the end of the six days of creation, God rested on the seventh day from all His work that He had done; and He blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because He had rested from all His work on it. The Sabbath was instituted in Eden before the fall and was observed by Adam and Eve as well as the whole heavenly host.«
