Time-Bound Fulfillment Destruction / Perishing Language Seventh-Day Sabbath Sabbath Commandment Annihilation / Destruction

“And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.”

And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.

For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.

And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.

Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Time-Bound Fulfillment

This verse describes a consequence for an action on a specific day, but it does not contain a prophecy with a defined duration that is expected to be recognized when fulfilled. The destruction is a direct result of the action, not the fulfillment of a foretold event.

Destruction / Perishing Language

There is no argument that this verse does not support the theme, as the phrase "will I destroy" directly uses the language specified in the theme definition.

Seventh-Day Sabbath

The verse refers to "that same day" without specifying it as the seventh day or a Sabbath. It only mentions a prohibition against work on an unspecified day, with a consequence for disobedience.

Sabbath Commandment

The verse does not explicitly use the word "Sabbath" or directly state that the day in question is a Sabbath, nor does it explicitly link the command to the Ten Commandments or the broader concept of "the law."
