G-C,
Lay off min he rsponded logically, and you just got frustrated and threw up an ad hominem.
Min,
Here's my understanding of both,
The exodus verse is talking about Gen. 2 where God did indeed rest on the seventh day. That's a common held Christian understanding of Creation for the literalist. So let's treat it as a literal chronology of creation, even as none were there to record it. God rested on the seventh day and he wants us to remember it and make it Holy and we call it the Sabbath.
The Isaiah verse is one man explaining to another about the nature of God. He practiced and believed in the Sabbath, so he knew of it and it's origins. If you take the entirety of the Isaiah passage you'll see he's encouraging people to persevere through God's strength.
Jesus states (in John 5) that God is constantly at work "even today" is the closest you'll find to God never tiring that I can find. The Sabbath is for man by God, not the other way around. It's a reflection of what was and is to come (col. 2)in the rest of final judgement. Hebrews 4 talks a lot and actually quotes God as saying we will never enter his rest. It's the conclusion of a work.
God did rest, and we remember that rest through the sabbath. We will all rest one day when we die, and all will rest finally after judgement in hell or heaven.
That's my understanding

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
