Shabbath Shalom!
It is a sign, in Hebrew an "owth," between YHWH and all of us.
“And YHWH spoke to Moshe, saying, ‘And you, speak to the children of Yisra’el, saying, “My Sabbaths you are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, to know that I, YHWH, am setting you apart. And you shall guard the Sabbath, for it is set-apart to you. Everyone who profanes it shall certainly be put to death, for anyone who does work on it, that being shall be cut off from among his people. Six days work is done, and on the seventh is a Sabbath of rest, set-apart to YHWH. Everyone doing work on the Sabbath day shall certainly be put to death. And the children of Yisra’el shall guard the Sabbath, to perform the Sabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant. Between Me and the children of Yisra’el it is a sign forever. For in six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.”’ And when He had ended speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moshe two tablets of the Witness, tablets of stone, written with the finger of Elohim.”

Now when all the people saw the thunder and the flashes of lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraid and trembled, and they stood far off.
#exodus 20:18 Yitro
The people saw the trumpet-noise of God's voice. What an awesome sight that must have been!
The fear of God takes two forms: Fear of God as your enemy and fear of God as your lawgiver. Will you fall away from him or fall on your face toward him?
Why did Solomon have so much to say about parenting and marriage? Because he had so much experience! Age and experience gives perspective, knowledge, and wisdom. Pay attention to your elders. They're not completely ignorant.

Even the respected elders in the Cretian congregations had to be instructed in basic, righteous behavior. If we're really honest, who doesn't? One of the primary goals of every congregation ought to be to transform our culture to be more biblical.
Paul had high standards for leaders in congregations, but he tried to connect with people how he found them. See Titus 2:9, for example. Slavery isn't desirable, but it's real, and it's not necessarily sinful, and so Paul gave instructions for how to live as a slave.
Everyone should aspire to meet Paul's standards for leadership, but if everyone in a congregation is qualified to be an elder, then they're probably not doing their job of making new disciples.

Question 370: Should We Pray For One From Whom Ruach HaKodesh Has Departed?
Answer:
Who are you, to assume to judge that such a one has been forsaken by Ruach HaKodesh? It would be a fearful responsibility to act on such a conclusion. Of one thing you may rest assured: if the person is at all concerned about his spiritual condition, no matter how deeply he has offended, that very fact is conclusive evidence that Ruach HaKodesh has not abandoned him, but is still striving with him. When Ruach HaKodesh leaves a man, that man becomes careless and indifferent and has no desire to pray. It is difficult - almost impossible - for us to understand the operations of the Spirit, but you may be assured that the love and compassion and long-suffering of YHVH are infinite. Moshiach said that He would cast out none who came to Him. With such an assurance, no man need wait to try to solve the mysteries of Ruach HaKodesh's work. The practical duty of closing with Moshiach's offer of salvation is the first thing for Him to do.
Question 369: Do Prayers For The Unconverted Help?
Answer:
The most definite Bible passage on this subject is I John 5:16: "If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask and he shall give him life." The words of Paul in Acts 16:31, Thou shalt be saved and thy house," probably mean simply that if all the members of the household believed they would be saved. But we have positive Scripture warrant for praying for our unconverted friends and countless incidents from present day life and earlier times prove that many hearts have been won to Moshiach through prayer. The assurance may not always come that those for whom we pray will yield to YHVH, but sometimes the assurance does come very definitely. Prayer for others should be personal, definite and earnest. S. D. Gordon in his Quiet Talks on Prayer takes the position that prayer for others, offered in the name of Yeshua, has the effect of driving off evil influences from the persons for whom the prayer is being made. It projects the personal influence of the one who is praying to the one prayed for and clears the spiritual atmosphere so that the voice of YHVH can be heard and the power of YHVH felt Just as by talking to a person one may be able to persuade him to listen and yield to YHVH, so by prayer one may influence another to submit himself to YHVH. Most important of all is love. We must love ardently, steadily, those for whom we pray. Love will prevent us from doing things that would mar our influence over them or spoil their conception of the religious life. If our friends know that we love them deeply and constantly our words and prayers will have an almost irresistible power.
Question 368: Does YHVH Answer Prayers?
Answer:
Most assuredly He does, but His ways are not as our ways. We are at best but children in spiritual things. Yet there is nothing in this world so clear and so well attested by Christian evidence, as that if we pray with believing hearts and in the right spirit, He will hear us and do what is best for us. No such prayer goes unanswered. The answer may not be as we expected, nevertheless it will be for the best and to the purpose. Says Professor Denney: "When we pray in Yeshua' Name there is nothing which we may not ask. Whatever limitations there may be, they are covered by the Name of Yeshua itself. We must not ask what is outside of that Name, not included in its promise. We must not ask a life exempt from labour, from self-denial, from misunderstanding, from the Cross; how could we ask such things in His Name? But ignoring this self-evident restriction, Yeshua expressly, emphatically and repeatedly removes every other limit. There is nothing which the Name of Yeshua puts into our hearts which we may not, with all assurance, put into our prayers." In His Name, we can ask with assurance for pardon from YHVH; we can ask to be strengthened in temptation and to be kept from falling and restored when through human weakness we do fall, for we have the assurance that He will not let us be utterly cast down; we can ask for the sanctifying work of Ruach HaKodesh in our lives. We can ask that our material wants as well as our spiritual needs may be fully supplied. But in asking, we must have the faith to lay hold and when we pray with this faith, we shall never pray amiss.
