In the Authorized Version the word "days" follow..- ing "sabbath" in Col. 2: 16, quoted above, is in italics, which means that it was not in the original Greek. Here Paul puts the Sabbath in with all other "shadows," or types which are fulfilled in Christ. Some people say that the word "sabbath" here does not mean the seventh day, but that it has reference to the special feast days. If that had been the case, Paul would have said so. On the contrary, he had already referred to these special feast days in the same text, calling them "holy days." The Sabbath was just a "shadow" of the rest we have in Jesus Christ. That is why it was not given to man in Genesis. It was given only after the shedding of the blood of the pas..- chal lamb (Ex. 16:23..-30), because it was a picture of Christ on Calvary.
