Ezekiel 20:13

The verse mentions "my sabbaths" in the plural, indicating multiple sabbaths or the general concept of sabbath observance, rather than specifically referencing the seventh day as *the* Sabbath or rest day. Therefore, it does not explicitly support the theme of the "Seventh-Day Sabbath."

The verse describes Israel's rebellion and God's threatened judgment, which is a common theme in the Old Testament and doesn't inherently define Israel's distinctness from the Church. While it speaks of Israel as a distinct entity in that historical context, it doesn't preclude a theological understanding where the Church is seen as the spiritual continuation or fulfillment of Israel's promises, or that the "distinctness" is primarily historical rather than eschatological.

There is no counter-argument as the verse explicitly states God's intention to "pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them," which directly aligns with the theme of "Destruction / Perishing Language."

The verse describes Israel's rebellion and God's threatened judgment, which is a consequence of their actions, not a promise, prophecy, or covenant directed at them in a positive or future-oriented sense. While it is specific to Israel, it doesn't fit the "promises, prophecies, or covenants" aspect of the definition.
