Abstract

In the Adventist theological system, the Sabbath has a key role, functioning as the neural network of the body of beliefs. As such, it delivers eschatological energy to the entire system. The present article outlines several eschatological dimensions of the Sabbathaccording to the major categories of systematic theology: theology proper, anthropology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology. After presenting the eschatological overtones of the Sabbath evinced in Exodus 20:8–11, the eschatological relation of the seventh day with each doctrinal category is analyzed. The article concludes that, as the eschatological insignia of the Adventist theological system, the Sabbath embodies a multifaceted and rich theological significance.
