No Sabbaths in the New Earth

The Bible doesn't say we'll be keeping a weekly sabbath in the new earth.

Isaiah 66 described the preservation and restoration of Israel from captivity in Babylon, with the following assurance:

22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

Then it described what would be carried out once back in their land, still in Old Covenant times:

23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

So it's not about our future!

JESUS came - and He brought the true rest.

But if you want to observe a weekly rest too, you can! But you don't have to - just sayin'!
