This is episode # 21 “Sabbath.”
Ezekiel 46:1 AMP Thus says the Lord God , “The gate of the inner courtyard that faces east shall be shut This is episode # 21 “Sabbath.”during the six working days, but it shall be opened on the Sabbath day and opened on the day of the New Moon.
Exodus 20:8-11Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Genesis 2:3 Amplified Bible So God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it [as His own, that is, set it apart as holy from other days], because in it He rested from all His work which He had created and done.). That means it was "set apart" for sacred use. Other ways of saying it are; it was "made holy", it was "consecrated", or it was "hallowed". These terms are fairly synonymous. Now the scripture states:
Ecclesiastes 3:14Amplified BibleI know that whatever God does, it endures forever; nothing can be added to it nor can anything be taken from it, for God does it so that men will fear and worship Him [with awe-filled reverence, knowing that He is God]. Only God can make something Holy. Thus no other day can be set aside for holy use unless God does it. Many times the comment is made this is the Jewish Sabbath, but a reading of God’s word explains the following
James 1:12 A
Luke 4:16
