I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one
like the Son of man came with the clouds of
heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
(Daniel 7:13)
Yeshua/Jesus is the SON OF MAN and he is Adonai
haShabbat. I think to give us the title of "Lord of the Sabbath," if I
understand your implication, is too haughty for my liking. I will allow the
Lord of the Sabbath to keep the Lord's Day. I'll just rest in it...
on the Seventh Day.

When referring to the "true intent" of the
Torah, I was referring to: Mattityahu 5;21,27,33, 38, 43; 23:23; Luke 11:42;
Devarim/Deut 10:16.
