Don't ask me. Ask Him.

I'm not sure that's the take away from this. David Watson is right that we are not under the Old Testament law. I don't think that's Cahn's message.
The mystery is in the history. (Nice huh?) There are historical events that have taken place related to judgment and restoration which correspond to the Shemitah, or the Sabbath, seven days, seven years, etc., as though God IS keeping the schedule he established in the OT.
Wanna know my theory? I think if God wanted to keep a schedule of "that which is to come" on a seven-day, seven-year, fifty-year cycle, according to the Shemitah or Sabbath or whatever, I think he gets to do it. He doesn't need permission.
I don't think God has committed himself to the wisdom of men (like us) who sit around and bloviate as authorities on the subject...as though they actually know what they're talking about.
The New Testament doesn't command us to keep the Sabbath. True. Does God keep the Sabbath? The Shemitah? Maybe. Historically speaking, there is evidence that he kinda' likes it.
